TELLING OF HIS VISIT
TO SOUTHERN AFRICA
ARRIVAL
- Dignitaries greet Herbert W. Armstrong at the airport in the southern African nation of Swaziland.
Dear Plain Truth Reader:
1
have been virtually a prisoner in
my hotel suite here at Port Eliza–
beth, South Africa, in the Eliza–
beth Hotel for one week with a
seriously sprained ankle. I can
hobble around a little, but
if
I must
go as far as across the room 1go in a
wheelchair. It's the first time in my
life 1 can remember using a wheel–
chair.
lt
happened a week ago tonight,
on Thursday, November
11.
I was
having a one-night public campaign
in
the "Great Room'.' of this hotel
(which seats about 700 or 800
people). The room was virtuaUy
packed. 1 was in fine shape for it
and spoke for an hour and a half -
The
PLAIN TRUTH February 1977
one of the strongest sermons of my
life (no punches pulled).
Extra Strength
1 was feeling that God had given me
extra strength and power beside a
spirit of deep conviction that held
the audience spellbound and
moved
them emotionally. I know the ser–
mon did not seem long to the au–
dience because
it
contained a fast–
moving story flow from the
BEGIN–
NING
when only the "WoRo" and
"Goo" existed, right on through all
creation to
NOW,
showing
WHY
God
put humanity on the earth and the
CAUSE
of al! world troubles and
HOW
God finally will bring us world
PEACE -
and the
GLORY
that shall
yet be man's human potential,
FIN–
ISHING THE CREATION OF BEAUTY
ANO GLORY OVER THE ENTIRE LIMIT–
LESS UNIVERSE!
lt
truly
ÍS
the most
EXCITING, IN–
TERESTING, MEANINGFUL
and
IM–
PORTANT
story that could possibly
be told - and it's all
TRUE!
Sitting in two of the three chairs
to the left of the pulpit were Mr.
Stanley R. Rader and Mr. Robert
Fahey, manager of the South Afri–
can office and the Work in this part
of the world.
The meeting had been opened by
Mr. Fahey, followed by remarks in–
troducing me by Mr. Rader. I had
been sitting in the middle of the
three chairs. As I finished , Mr.
