Dear Friend in Hong Kong:

It hardly seems possible that a year has passed sinco we began our meetings at Bible Auditorium. And now we have only eight weeks more before the closing service. A marvellous attendanco continues and I hate to come to the last night,

We are living in awfully solemn times. I believe with all of my heart that the prophecies are almost all fulfilled and that soon, very soon, our earth will bo rocked by war and chaos,

But it seems so few are preparing for the last solemn events: just ahead. Fow seem to care what is coming. Fow pay any attention to the solemn prophecies for these solomn hours. They will stand excuseless before God in the day of Judgment.

Sunday night, April 9 is a stirring prophecy subject that needs to be heard by two million people in Hong Kong—including YOU—"A thousand years of Tyranny or Peace predicted for our, earth in the Bible," How I wish this prophetic message could reach the ear of every person in the Empire. The hour is very late. My heart is very full as I sco events fast shaping up for the grand finalo of earth's history. I appeal to you to lend one evening of your busy life to this solemn message. I beg you to come and listen to one service on Bible prophecy if you have not been out before.
