January 13, 1949
Dear Friend: GREETINGS!
I've been wondering if you had lost me on the radio. Some
time back I sent you the literature you requested---but I haven't
heard from you for quite awhile.
I'm back on the air full time again on the most powerful
station in all North America---XEG. In fact, SEVEN nights a week
now, instead of six---EVERY NIGHT, at 8 o'clock Central Standard
Time.
I don't believe you've been getting The PLAIN TRUTH for some
time, either. For years we were unable to publish it regularly.
Now The PLAIN TRUTH is coming out every month! And say! I know
you won't want to miss this January-February number! I want you to
read it EVERY MONTH thru 1949. FREE! NO SUBSCRIPTION PRICE!
Now LISTEN! This is IMPORTANT! Are you sure you fully grasp
the real meaning of what is happening to the world just now? Not
many are awake to it! Most people just drift along in their daily
routine---just as if the world had always been like this. But
SOMETHING TERRIBLE is happening to the world! Something different
---the people of fifty, a hundred, three thousand years ago, never
saw or dreamed of conditions like we have today. Never before was
the WHOLE WORLD upset, in war and fear of war, in famine, disease,
poverty, unrest, strife, fear,---CHAOS! NEVER!
Yes, a TERRIBLE THING IS HAPPENING. It is a world
revolution! Do you realize HOW RAPIDLY these terrific events are
moving---yes, moving relentlessly and SWIFTLY right toward YOU and
yours? Soon, and suddenly---VIOLENTLY!---this world conflagration
will change your entire life. The IMPORTANT THING is that you know
how to escape the trouble, and PROTECT YOURSELF, AND YOURS! You
can, and you need not fear or worry---if you know what to do!
Things seem prosperous here. But the United States is the
ONLY nation left on earth where there is any degree of prosperity
---where people have enough to eat, to wear---where they can afford
luxuries, entertainments, and have full freedom. But already a
poverty-ridden world is sapping our strength!
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? WHERE IS IT LEADING? To keep you
well informed on what's happening, and GOING to happen---what's
back of it all---the real meaning---I have gone to New York,
Washington, San Francisco---to London, Geneva, Paris. I have
talked to world leaders. I have obtained vital information in the
Foreign Office, the Colonial Office in London---Committee Rooms of
the House Un-American Activities Committee in Washington. I have
learned inside facts first hand.
In a full hour interview, privately, in his apartment, I
learned from Constanin Fotich, pre-Tito Ambassador from Yugoslavia,
what has happened in that unhappy country. I had a long personal
interview with the Foreign Minister from Syria. Former leaders
from Poland, Latvia, Esthonia, Lithuania, have told me personally
how their countries were overthrown, crushed under the iron boot of
Russia, their people's farms, stores, and businesses taken from
them, their citizens made slaves! The world doesn't realize what
crimes Russia has committed! I have learned the inside TRUTH from
official sources first hand. I know well, and have had long
personal interviews with Sheik Haffiz Wabba, in charge of PALESTINE
affairs for the Arabs, and from interviews with him in San
Francisco and in London I know the Arab views on PALESTINE. Then
to learn the Jewish view first hand, I spent nearly an entire
afternoon in New York with the executive secretary of the world
Zionist Federation. In Washington, D. C., some weeks ago, I made
arrangements with an editor of one of the great weekly news
magazines having correspondents in all parts of the world, to send
me by special telegraphic report vital world happenings fulfilling
prophecy, not reported in magazines or newspapers---to be broadcast
the very following night on my WORLD TOMORROW program, Coast to
Coast!
So you see MUCH of the most significant happenings FULFILLING
PROPHECY can be read only in The PLAIN TRUTH,---heard only on The
WORLD TOMORROW program! Newspaper men and radio commentators DO
NOT KNOW OR UNDERSTAND PROPHECY---and consequently cannot under-
stand the REAL MEANING of world events! Few, if any ministers or
speakers on PROPHECY understand world news, or have these vital
personal contacts and sources of inside information, or the twenty
years' professional experience as a magazine and newspaper writer
which provides the unique background of this work.
LOOK AT THE WORLD TODAY! In China, the battle rages. The
Reds are about to capture all China. Nothing short of a billion
dollars from the U.S. and sending American troops to fight Reds in
China can save China now. We cannot do that and save Europe too.
We can't do it without war with Russia---WORLD WAR III! That's why
Madame Chiang Kai-shek's desperate mission to Washington has
failed!
LOOK at Europe! We find ourselves now trying to revive and
help a Germany to RESIST RUSSIA which might have destroyed Russia
six short years ago if we had not then helped Russia to destroy
Germany! Do you think our politicians in Washington KNOW what they
are doing---KNOW what is prophesied---where their flip-flop foreign
policies are leading us? Underground in Germany, and throughout
Europe, a mysterious and dynamic movement is rising which will
ASTOUND and ROCK THE WORK in a few short years! Yet official
Washington is blissfully asleep to what is really happening! You
can know the truth and follow this breath-taking fulfillment of
prophecy IF YOU READ THE PLAIN TRUTH AND LISTEN TO "THE WORLD
TOMORROW."
For these terrible, yet exciting last days Almighty God has
raised up this work to shout to the world the last solemn warning
from GOD ALMIGHTY before the final GREAT TRIBULATION, and TERRIBLE
DAY OF THE LORD with its frightful plagues. This is GOD'S work,
and therefore it is conducted GOD'S WAY---different from any other
work, activity, or movement I know. IT HAS NOTHING TO SELL. We
proclaim the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ, and it's a FREE Gospel of
a FREE salvation---it cannot be sold like so much merchandise. It's
without money, and without price. THE PLAIN TRUTH is FREE, no
subscription price. There is no price on any of our literature, of
course you know that it takes money---lots of money---to carry on
a work of this great national and international scope. It is
costing us several thousand dollars every month just to buy time on
the most powerful radio stations alone,---and it also now is
costing into thousands of dollars every month to print and mail out
The PLAIN TRUTH to such a large national and international mailing
list. But these powerful modern facilities are carrying God's true
last-day message to an accumulative audience of more than five
million precious souls each week.
And so, although it does cost a great deal of money, we are
happy that God has so guided and empowered this work; and given us
experience in conducting it so efficiently that every dollar placed
in this work carries His vital message to two thousand precious
souls! THINK OF IT! Every dollar carries the most vital precious
message in the world to more than two thousand souls. In order
that the message may go free, without money and without price,
God's work is financed GOD'S WAY, by the tithes and liberal
offerings of His own people, who willingly and voluntarily GIVE, so
that we in turn may give the Gospel.
We are now bringing our large nation-wide mailing list up to
date for 1949. I WANT YOUR NAME on this new 1949 mailing list to
receive The PLAIN TRUTH every month thru 1949. So be sure to fill
in the coupon below---plainly, please,---and I'll send you this
vital, INTERESTING, entirely unique magazine beginning with the
January number, IF YOU HURRY.
BEFORE YOU DO ANOTHER THING---Yes, before you even lay this
letter down, fill in the coupon below, place it in the enclosed
reply-envelope, and MAIL IT AT ONCE---do it right now, and then you
won't get something else on you mind and neglect it.
Sincerely, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
