"Bricain, one of che world's lead–
ing 'cheap food' importers, should try
ro reduce its
55
miHion populacion
ro
a leve! commensurate wich its own
agricultura! capacity - 30 million by
such methods as contraception and
abortion on demand. Currently Brit–
ain is heading for a population of 66
million by 2000.
" Bricain should stop building
roads. The labor force should be rede–
ployed on restoring defunct railway
lines and reclaiming canals. This
proposition is based on che presump–
tion that che energy ouday for ce–
mene and steel required to build a
motorway is four times greacer chan
that required to build a railway. And
a motorway cakes four times as much
land.
"All useage of raw materials (i.e.,
non-replaceable) ranging from coa!
ro
gold should be subjecced ro punitive
caxation."
That is only a
part
of che radical
recommendacions for solucions. But
it is enough ro make clear that che so–
lutions will not be tried. Govern–
ments, industries, sociecy, will NOT
change cheir present direccion. This
world will go on pollucing che air,
che rivers and che lakes - and, in
curn, even che oceans and che soil.
But
another
manifesco has been
presented chac
DOES
really presenc
che solution. Accually, ic was first
presenced a long rime ago, but the
world didn't hear much about it until
che last few years. When ir was first
presenced, ir was so violendy opposed
chac they PUT TO DEATH the man who
made the ANNOUNCEMENT of that
SO–
lution. And today those making that
announcemenc around che world are
reaping a harvest of bitter opposition
and persecution.

The announcement of
that
blue–
print for
survival
was not offered as a
suggestion
for people ro decide and
VOTE on - it was, racher, an an–
nouncemenc of che REAL SOLUTION of
chis human survivaJ problem.
Also
ir
embodies che solucion of ALL chis
world's problems and evils.
Ir
WILL
be applied, regardless of, or in spite of
whac governmencs, induscry, and
human sociecy decide. l e does noc
even
require
che approval of sociery or
governmenc.
Thac announcement of che blue–
princ for survival - thar manifesto -
was NEWS - and it was GOOD news.
Not many seem ro KNOW chat Jesus
of Nazareth, who walked chis earch
more than 1900 years ago, was a
news
announcer.
People call His GOOD
NEWS che
Gospel
-
yec for 18
Y.!
cen–
turies THAT Gospel was NOT PRQ–
CLAIMED
CO
the world - and MOST of
che world, even today,
doesn't know
what it
is.'
Don'c be too sure
you
do.
Because a DIFFERENT so-called "gos–
pel" has gone ro che world for 18
Y.!
centucies. And chis
diflerent
gospel has
so deceived and confused che world
thac che most imporcanc announce–
menc ever senc co mankind is looked
on askance, as an unincelligenc super–
scicion!
Bu ewe need ro wake up co che facc
chat chis world today is in
deep trouble.'
The annihilation of all human life
chreacens!
Scientists, heads of nacions, and
educa.cors say che world's ONL
Y
HOPE
for human ·survival lies in che emer–
gence of WORLD GOVERNMENT. Yec
in che same breath chey deny any pos–
sibility of che nations geccing co–
gecher i n a single world government,
with a single military force.
lt would seem chat it mighc be ex–
pedienc co cake one good look at chis
MANIFESTO of Jesus - this BLUE–
PRINT FOR SURVIVAL He announced.
Jusc whac
was
che Gospel J esus Chrisc
broughc from God? What
was
che
GOOD NEWS He announced? Whac
was
chis announcemenc hushed up
and unproclaimed for 1850 years?
W as
it
the MIRACLES He per-
formed? No, che miracles were not
che Gospel.
lt
is writcen rhat He went about
doing good. But
that
·was not His
Gospel. For 18
Y.!
centuries ehere was
preaching
about
Jesus Chrisc - about
His Person. Buc chat was not His
MESSAGE.
There was much preaéhing that
people should BELIEVE on Christ.
Many did - and yet DIO NOT BE–
LlEVE His Gospel - His ANNOUNCE–
MENT.
Notice: "As he Uesus] spake chese
words, many believed on him. Then
said Jesus co those Jews which be–
lieved on him, If ye concinue in my
word, then are ye my disciples indeed ;
and ye shall know che cruth, and che
truth shall make you free.. ·. . I know
that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye
seek to kili me, because my word
hath no place in you.... buc now ye
seek ro kili me, a man rhat hach cold
you che cruch, which I have heard of
God ..." Oohn 8:30-32, 37, 40) .
Those people BELIEVED ON JESUS,
yet they sought ro kill Him because
they REFUSED TO BELIEVE WHAT HE
SAID - they rejecced His GospeJ.
Whac, then,
IS
that Manifesco -
that Blueprint for Survival - thac
Gospel - for which they
did
kili
Jesus Christ? Norice che plain words
in che Bible:
Mark 1:1: "The beginning of the
gospel of Jesus Chrisr, che Son of
God. . .. Now after thac John was
put in prison, Jesus carne inco Galilee,
preaching
the gospel of the kingdom of
God,
and saying, The time is fulfilied,
and che kingdom of God is at
~and:
repent ye, and believe che gospel"
(verses 14-1
5).
His Gospel - His ANNOUNCE–
MENT - was che Kingdom of God.
What is che Kingdom of God?
Sorne say it is che Church. Sorne say it
is a nebulous, mysterious something
"sec up in men's hearts" - some–
thing
within
people - chat is,
some–
thing entering into people.
Sorne have
said
it
was che British Empire.
But notice whac Christ said: " ... 1
say unto thee, excepc a man
be
born
