PROGRESS?
We are told now that we must adjust
to living in a world of problems and
evils with NO SOLUTIONS. We are told
by world-famous scientists and heads of
state that human survival is now our
number one problem, and that the only
solution is a world government with
absolute power over all nations and
individuals - and in the same breath
they admit this is impossible.

the "forbid–

knowledge acc¡uisition - rejection of

The solution líes in a right balance in
material production and progress with
moral and spiritual development.
The only educational ínstitutíon
where these values are restored in right
and proper balance, with whicb I am
acquainted, is Ambassador College. On
the three Ambassador campuses you
will find material beauty. We provide a

"Three days after thc conference
opened in San Francisco, I wrote in my
daily dispatch that thc start had not
been auspicious: 'Perhaps the effort to
keep the confercncc completely neutral
has been overdone,'
I
wrote. 'No
national anthems have been played. No
fiags, save the massed colors of 46
nations, have been displayed. No pray–
ers have been offered. There has been
an utter absence of spiritual or patriotic
stimulus.'"

"This year we have gone 'all out' and
have absolutely no chemical fertilizcrs,
pesticides, herbicides, or nitrogen on
our

beautiful. Sorne of our corn land
has
had no fertilizcr (chemical) on for five
years. We have already found that our
veterinary bills have been reduced quite
considerably. lt is amazing to see the
