arnaziizg--REVE~4LING Here beforemy eyes was the proof of Gods handat work.

Endless Difficult ies

My first surprise came even beforewe got near the actual ship. It was thecomplex and tedious journey needed to

reach these floating transmitters. Ourvisit, I discovered, would occupy nearlytw o f d l days time and require the useof five vehicles. Yet every crew mem-ber, disc jockey, electronics technician,plus every ounce of supplies comes bythe same route. I could easily see whyRadio Caroline and Radio London arethe t w o most expensive radio stationsever to take T h e WORLD OMORROW.

The reason for having to go to suchbother is a long-sought-after dream in

DIO. For twenty-five years AmericaandAustrali a have ha d it-and Britonshave wanted it. But in these tiny is-lands, radio lies stifled in the clenchedfists of the BBC-GOVERNMENTCON-TROLLED. How could this death gripever be broken? N o one knew unti learly in 1964 when Radio Caroline firststarted regular broadcasts from ship-board three and one-half miles offEnglands shores. There in thecom-parative freedom of internationalwa-

ters she began pouring out popularmusic and commercials fourteen hoursa day.

And then the cries arose. It cantwork. The government wil l putastop to them. Newspapers splashed thestory all over their front pages alongwith ominous stories of other radioships that had failed. In fact, everyonewho saw the new infant rise up said,There is too much against them.T he price will be too great. It willnever succeed.

But they were all wrong-verywrong. Radio Caroline HAS succeededand has been joined by others. Nowthere are five-all doing fantasticallywell.

Yet, was it all an accident-a freakof luck? I was on may way to findout.

Our actual trip started in Liverpool,Englands northernmost big city. Itsan old place-sooty and tired fromyears of shipbuilding. Thirty-five min-

Utes by air and we were on the color-ful Isle of Man, resort island in theIrish Sea. Then by taxi, through green,sheep-covered countryside to the quaintvillage of Ramsey. Here, just off thecoast sits Radio Caroline North,Brit-ains pioneer radio ship, firmly an-chored in fifteen fathoms of water(See Map). Three hundred tons ofconcrete ballast hold her steady in thewater. I couldnt help marvelingas I

caught m y fiist view of her from thehigh cliffs approaching town. A tinblack dot on a placid blue ocean-butmighty importantto Gods Wo r k

More Problems

After arriving and checking with thRamsey Steamship Company-operatorsof the small motor launch used to reacCaroline-we spen t two hours walkinthrough the colorful old village oRamsey. The wait was, however, morthan just entertainment.We were ac-tually experiencing another of the dificulties ship radio constantly faces-the sea. Ramseys harbor is a t idechannel usable only at high t ide . I twas for this we waited.

The tides are dependable, but thweather is not Sometimes conditio n

get so rough that supplies to the crewon board, can be cut off forweeks.Early last winter one of the stationhad to be taken emergency rationsasa fauor by the coast guard. Weather ia constant threat. It alone could stothem overnight were it not for the Onewho controls the weather.

By about noon the tide had fillethe harbor and we made our way tthe dock. Here we experienced anotheproblem-Her Majestys Customs. Yesthats right. Even in this tiny, remotresort village the British Governmentison hand. No country in the world hascustoms laws like Britain. Itsa C O ~ Z -stant plagzie to these stations.

WHAT IS SIN?Y o u who think you know what sin is, WAIT T h e Bible saysmuch about sin yo u have been missing. Y o u must not miss this

article

H FLOO ovah Chicago, an bruth-ern, ah sawr w iledthe itinerant tent-meeting

evangelist. Everywhere this fierypreachuh went, he saw sin. Buthe never got around to telling his con-gregations what sin is

A

Do YOU Know?

Are you sure, brethren, you know

Do you realize how broad, how gi-

Most of you d o already know themain Bible definition of sin-I John3 : 4 : Whosoever commits sin trans-gresses also the law: for sin is the trans-gression o f the law (See Charles Wil-liams translation: sin is luwless-ness)

But thats not all the Bible says aboutsin

Did you know that the Bible definessin in MANY WAYS? The Bible por-trays and defines law-breaking in seu-era1 dozen ways The subject sin be-comes so gigantically broad and ugly(if you study Gods Word) you will beamazed.

And did you know that all sins fallinto three kinds-three categories?

what sin is?

gantic and ghastly sin is?

Sin Is a Trinity

Turn to I John 2:15-16. Love notthe world, neither the things that are inthe world. If any man love the world[Greek cosmos meaning society, wayof life], the love of the Father is notin him. For all that is in the world{cosmos), the lust of the flesh, and thelust of the eyes, and the pride of life,is not of the Father, but is of theworld.

Do you love your way of life,your way of doing things? If so, Godsays you love this world. And thisworld is perishing, (verse 17) or-as

b y Charles V. Dorothy

the Greek can be translated-DESTROY-ING ITSELF (King James passethaway). You must forsake your way, oryou too will perish

Now notice that John divides every-thing in the world into three classesor categories (verse 16)-three divi-sions. One: the lust of the flesh. Thisparticular lust is that pulling, yearning,down-dragging powerful desire-temp-

tation-to satisfy and please the body.Remember, lust is an unlawful desireto satisfy, not just the normal, lawfuldesire to be comfortable. God wants usto be comfortable, to prosper and be ingood health I11 John 2 ) .

Two: the lust of the eyes. Here isanotlicr illegal desire, but this timethrough the eyes. Our eyes focus onthings that do not belong to us. Thenwe think Ah, now that would be nice-wouldnt I like to have-wouldnt I

like to lay my hands on that Oureyes incite us to lust and covetousness,greed and envy. That is the lust of theeyes.

Three: the pride of life. John ishere speaking of physical life. Johnsoriginal word for pride means thepuffing, swelling, heady, billowing,superior, proud, exalted feeling whichall human beings experience. The prideof life is that warm, good, elevatedself-satisfied feeling we get when some-one pats us on the back-when some-one tells us we are pretty good.

Come on now, brethren, admit it Wehave all experienced the pride of lifesomewhere in our lives, havent we?W e thought-deep down inside-wewere right in our general way oflounge near the bow of the ship,thought we were right, WE W E R EWRONG Our righteousness-what-ever its form, whatever its brand-wasjust so much vanity and pride.

All sins f i t into one or more of thesethree categories of I John.

Mans First Sin, Too

Lets see how closely mans first sinfits Johns three-way description. Turnto Genesis 3 : 6 . And when the womansaw that the tree was {I ) good forf o o d , and that it was [23 pleasant tothe eyes, and a tree {3) to be desired t o

make one wise, she took of the fruitthereof, and did eat.

Did you catch that? Eve-not satis-fied with the food God gave her-sawthat the fruit was good for food.That is, her flesh, her taste buds, herappetite lusted for that particular food.Eve had an illegal desire to satisfy herbody. What is that, but lust of theflesh

Secondly, it was pleasant to theeyes er mind (through the eyes)

lusted after something pleasant to thesrght. The same as Johns lust of theeyes

Lastly, in her mind she DESIRED itto make her wiser. She looked for some-thing to exalt, puff up, expand, andswell the self. That is the pride oflife

So both Adam and Eve yielded to thetriple temptation, they disobeyed God,T HE Y SINNED. Mans first sin fit allthree of Johns categories for law-

breaking.Too many of us in Gods Church to-

day are like Adam and Eve. The fruitGod gave them was not good enough.It is always the forbidden fruit that ap-peals to us. Its the other fellowshouse, the other fellows championship,the other womans fur coat, somebodyelses name on the record book, theother fellom.s wife and not our ownthat appeals Our eyes, our minds, ourbodies deceive us into thinking the

But we must d o i t RIGHT-and thebest

You say you dont have as much ability as the next man-you cant do aswell as h e? Your zeal, your attitude,your zest for work can put you in front(Remember, you are in competitionagainst yourself, not the other fellow.)

How about wage cheating? Do youpunch the clock a little early? Earlieat quitting time, that is? Or do youpunch it earlier, before work star ts? D oyou do thejob A S Y O U W O U L D WANT ITDONE FOR YOURSE L F? For Christ?

How about you women? Do youkeep sloppy homes? Do you live with dirty bathroom, a cluttered kitchenAre you really producingas a wife, orare you failing in your duty (ashaming) ?

Something or NOTHING?

Another very common Old Testamenword for sin is aven: NOTHINGNESSVANITY. Nothingness, vanity, emptiness--quite often connected with idolatryAn idol is nothing and vanity. Remember, an idol is anything in your mindhigher than God, or anything you lovmore than God.

Read I Samuel 15:22-23. Aven OC-curs in the phrase and stubbornness as iniquity [aven) and idolatry. TheBible says stubbornness is vanityanda form of idolatry

Notice how the concept of idolatrconnected with aven-type sin helpsexplain Isaiah 1:13. The new moonsand sabbaths, the calling of assemblieI cannot away with; it is iniquit[aven) , even the solemn meeting. Athe next verse says, these days wer

yaw new moons and your appointedfeasts.

Remember Christs famous rebukeofthe false ministersin His Sermon on theMount? Perhaps you did not know paof His condemnation is a quote frothe Old Testament: depart from meye that work INIQUITY ( w e n in He-brew, quoted from Ps. 6 3 ) . Falseministers are still working idolatry(aven) in their lives today

Are you still stubborn7 bull-headed?Or is your particular brand of vanitPERSONAL IDOLATRY? Have you ever

(Cont imed on page 1 5 )

grass is always greener on the otherside.

Now we know how sin affected ourfirst parents. Lets go on through theBible to see how sin affectsus todayWe must know more about sin in orderto root it out.

Sin Is Many-sidedThe Bible uses various words for

sin in the original texts, showingvarious shades of meaning. God showsus that sin is complex-not assimpleas we thought. W e will analyze some ofthese sin words to see whatspecialfacet of sin God is emphasizing.

Remember one thing before we con-tinue. All these words can becorrectlytranslated sin; thcrcforc, thcir mean-ings all overlap to a certain de-gree. However, Gods various words forsin in the Bible are not exuctly thesame. These words bring out theKindsof sin-they emp hasizea different as-pert of law-breaking, of sin, of anti-law.

The first and most common wordthat appears in the Biblc for sin ischattah. Chattah means TO MISS THEM AR K. Heres the point forus, breth-ren. Missing the markis not neces-sarily fr om the habit of sinning. If you

miss the mark in daily Christian living,it isnt necessarily becauseyou are apracticing sinner. Of course, youcanfail for that reason too.

We often fail, not bccauscwe wantto sin, not because we hate Godin ourconscious mind, but because, eventhough we are aiming for the mark,we are not able to H I T dead center. Thepurely carnal human cannot keep Godslaw

But don t most ofus want to hit themark? Dont most ofus desire to serveGod? If so, that is Gods Spirit inusDesire to serve God, desire to liverighteously does not come from ourgood carnal minds. TIIERB S NOSUC H THING AS A GoOD C AR NALM I N D

We need to wake up We miss themark because we dontwant t o hit itbadly enough, because we dontpracticehitting it enough, bccausc we donthave enough of Gods help W e need torealize we are built short of the mark-

we are mark-missers, misfits byizattlreGod knows we will begin by missing,but with H i s help we can start HIT-

Too many of us, brethren, yield totemptation. If you yield to temptationyou miss the mark, youchattah. Noticewhat David said when he committedadultery with Bathsheba. Against thee,thee only, have I sinned {chattuh], anddone this evil in thy sight (Ps.5 1 : 4 ) .David had allowed himself to driftaway from God-the temptation go thim.

God told Cain sin (chattah) wouldtry to pull him down. Gods wordstoCain apply to the whole human race:If you do well, will you not be ac-cep ted ? and if you do not well {if youdisobey), SIN [chattab) lies at the door

(Gen. 4 : i .Th e Revised StandardVer-sion makes the last part of this verseclearer, saying in effect: sins desirewill be to pull you down, butyou mustmaster it

W e must resist temptation-we mustnot yield W e must strive, brethren, al-ways to hit the mark

TING

Your uty and Mine

Jeremiah 5 1 ; s shvws that the entireland of Israel is filled with sin. The

Hebrew word for sin here isashammeaning negligence in conduct,orFAILURE IN DUTY (sometimes throughignorance).

Are you guilty? Do you really pro-dzice on your job? Do you men producepoor work? You machinists, you drafts-men, you design engineers, gas stationattendants, farmers, bus and truck driv-ers, elevator operators-workers of allkinds-do you put out JloPPy, dowdy,

Remember, a Christian does the job-or at least ought to do the job-better than anybody else. Not thatChristians are to be great concert vio-linists, star baseball pitchers, or seven-foot-tall basketball stars like WiltChamberlain. Christians arenot thegreat of the world We just pump gas.W e just sit and type what the boss dic-tates. W e just answer the phone. W edrive trucks. We ride herd. We plowthe soil. Whatever our employment, wejust do an ordinary job, routine work.

Is Your Heart REALLYIn Gods Work?

Do you realize that your salvation LITERALLY DEPENDSon your participation in Gods Wo r k ? You have probablyheard M r. Armstrong say that a man is converted to the degreethat his heart is in Gods Wo r k . But what does he mean byGods W or k ; and what does i t mean to have yozlr HEART

in that Work?

by Ronald L. D a r t

W H Y SHOULD YOU as an indi-vidual member of GodsChurch have your heart andmind wrapped up in the worldwideWork of God? Isnt it enough to at-tend Sabbath services, take the Corre-spondence Course, read T h e P L I NTRUTH, ast and study your Bible? Infact, dont you just about have yourhands full in overcoming yourself,learning to pray and fightingyour fcarsand frustrations?

But w h y are you fighting this battle?What is your goal-what doyou hopeto accomplish? Almost any member ofGods Church will immediately answerthat his goal is to get into GodsKingdom. But think for a moment.If entering Gods Kingdom is merely amatter of prayer, study, fasting andmeditation, then surely the best thingfor you to do would be to withdrawfrom the world, enter somesort ofmonastery and devote your life to seek-ing God in seclusion.

In, But Not Of, the World

It might seem logicalat first thought

to closet yourself, becauseyou wouldbe away from the temptations of theworld. Yo u would have more time forprayer, study and meditation, and youcould actuallyfast more often since youwould not be working.

Logical as it might seem, it is anentirely selfish and wrong approach.The natural tendencyof man is merelyto want to get for himself. He wantsto get salvation, to get answers tohisprayers-to attempt to solve his prob-

lems and to makehis life more abun-dant.

If this is the way to salvation, thenwhy is it that Christ doesnt take theentire Church out of the world? WhenHe was praying for the Churchon thenight before He was crucified, He said:I pray 71Ul that thou shouldest takethem out of the world, but that thoushouldest keep them from the evil(John 17;15). Not only that, but ingiving the commission to the Church,He specifically sent them into theworld with the commandto pie& theGospel.

But what about those who haventbeen called to prcdch? W h y hr2~ Godcalled you? After all,He could havewaited until the Millenniumor eventhe Great White Throne Judgmenttogive you your opportunity for salvation.In fact, there have been some whoattended G o d s Church who have statedthey wished God would have waited tocall them later when it would be easierto overcome because of the lack oftemptation from Satan

How about you? Why didnt God

wait in your case? Why has He calledyou N O W? The answer is plain Godhas called you to be a part of theChurch which is doingHis Work.

God Knows Youre Weak

Read what the Living Christ wrotespecifically to the P hiladelphia eraofGods Church I know thy works:behold, I have set before thee {theChurch) an open door, and no man canshut it: for thou hast [only] a little

strength, and hast kept my word, andhast not denied my name (Rev.3 :8).

We know the open door is thedoor of radio, but we often think ofthat door as being opened beforeMr.Herbert W. Armstrong andMr. GarnerTed Armstrong only. W e forget thatthis letter is addressed to theChurch-not just to one or two individuals. Inverse 13, He says: H e that hath an ear,let him hear what the Spirit saith untothe churches {not merely to the apos-tles or ministers).

It is to the Church that is doing thisWork, that Christ says: Because thou

hast kept the word of my patience,I

Those who have becomelukewarm concerning Gods Work-who are not fulfillingtheir part in theWork-will be among those who gothrough the Great Tribulation.

Those who are not participating int h e Wo r k of God are not in the Phila-delphia Church

It is a fact that the Church is theBody of Christ which is used as a unitto do His Work. Every part of thatBody has a definite responsibility inGods Work, and any individual member of the Body who fails to fulfill hiscalling ic not justifying his presence inthe Church of God.

When this Work of God beganwayback in th e early 1930s, M r. Armstrongwas the only minister in the Philadel-phia era of Gods Church. The amountof work that he and Mrs. Armstrongwere able to do wasless than one per-cent of the great worldwide work thatisgoing on today. In fact, just twelve

short years ago Mr. Armstrong was pas-toring one small church with an atten-dance of 60 to 70 every Sabbath, andthere were only two other Churches ofGod in the entire world

Its true that Mr. Armstrong was ableto baptize many people in those earlydays of the Work, but he found thatfrom 40 to 50 percent of the peoplewho were being baptized were fallingaway later on because there was no localchurch to attend, no minister to teachand exhort them, no GOO DNEWS aga-zine to instruct and encourage them.All they had was the radio broadcastand in some cases reception was veryweak.

When the Work began to expand, in-stead of receiving help, backing andencouragement from theentire Church,Mr. Armstrong actually hadoppositionfrom supposedbrethren Writing aboutthose years in the February 1963 issueof The GOOD NEWS agazine, he said:Many of the members up in Eugene,

Oregon, allowed themselves to criticizeand find fault with theway the LivingChrist was guiding His Church towardthe fulfillment of its God-given mis-sion. Those professing brethren becamewrapped up in their own little localgroup. Their hearts were not in theWORK F GOD n spreadingHis Gospelto the world. These so-called breth-ren were actuallyhindering the veryWorR of God.

Some of these even complained andcriticized when Ambassador Collegewas established. But the present greatworldwide Work would be impossiblewithout Ambassador College just as itwould be impossible without theChurch.

Ear ly Church Example

Many of us do not seem to realize it,but much of Pauls work would havebeen impossible without the helpof achurch. When Paul first came to Cor-inth, he found a Jew named Aquila

and his wife Priscilla, and: Becnusehe was of the same craft, he abodewith them, and wrought: for by theiroccupation they were tentmakers. Andhe reasoned in the synagogue everysabbath, and persuaded the Jews andthe Greeks Acts 1 8 : 3 4 .

During this time, Pauls work was of

necessity hindered because he couldusually do Gods Work only during theevenings and on the Sabbath. Later,however, he received financial helpfrom the churches in the north and wascertainly able to accomplish much more.In I1 Corinthians 11 :8, 9, he said: Irobbed other churches, taking wages ofthem, to do you service. And whenIwas present with you, and wanted,Iwas chargeable to no man: for thatwhich was lacking to me the brethrenwhich came from Macedonia supplied:and in all things I have kept myselffrom being burdensome unto you, andso will I keep myself.

One of those Macedonian churcheswas the Church at Philippi to whichPaul wrote: Now ye Philippians knowalso, that in the beginning of the gos-pel, when I departed from Macedonia,no church communicated with me asconcerning giving and receiving, but yeonly. For even in Thessalonica ye sentonce and again unto my necessity. Not

because I desire a gift: but I desirefruit that ma y abound to your account(Phil. 4:15-17). It is an actual factthat many people were helped, andeven attained salvation, because THISChurch at Philippi backed up GodsWork with tithes and offerings. Paulsays that this fruit was credited totheir account.

Gods Work in Same NeedToday

Today, we have ministers in the fieldserving many thoirsnnds of people, vis-iting them in their homes and preach-ing to them week after week in theSabbath services. Although none ofthese men are paid by the people theyserve, they do receive a salary fromHeadquarters so that they can serveGods people full time.

RADIOSHIPS - A Miracle(Continued from page 6 )

you? I assured him I wouldnt and hewas satisfied.

Soon we were off for the ship.Sur-prising to the stations staff but not tous, was the weather. It had been de-cidedly nasty even that very morning.But now it was marvelous-calm sea,gentle breeze and brilliant sunshine.They couldnt keep from commentingon what a lucky day we were havingfor a visit. I didnt bother to tell themwhy. But now the ship itself was inview and I turned to take a few pic-tures.

From newspaper photographsI hadnot been impressed, imagining Caro-

line and the others to be quite small.But as we drew near I could see thatI had been wrong. Caroline is farlarger and more substantial than pic-tures reveal.

Still visible, but now covered withblack paint was Carolines originalname, FREDERICIA,eminiscent ofher former days, thirty years ago, as aDanish passenger liner. As we pulledclose, Mr. George Hare, Carolineslo-cation manager pointed out her newname and the fact that she bears no

port of call. This makesyou feel youare embarking on a high seas adven-ture.

Life on Board

On board its anything but a piratesworld. In fact, its like any ship an-chored at sea-boring. N ot muc h isgo-ing on. N o engines to run, no naviga-tion to be done-the ship just sits-and so do the men, all twenty-five ofthem. Besides the actual crew of theship which is Dutch, there are fiveAustrian engineers employed to oper-ate the transmitters. The radio stationmen are mostly Britons, Americans,and Canadians. Each spends fourteendays on board, then a week on land.I asked several of them, including thechief Austrian technician, if they likedthe work. Most of them readily saidthat they enjoyed it, but that it waslonely. I could imagine what tensionswere potential in such a mixed group.

Actual living conditions are really

quite pleasant. Each man has his owcsmall cabin and free access to a largelounge near the bow of the ship,equipped witha T.V., dining tables, andeven a small library. Meals are pro-vided by a full-time kitchen staff,which also serves a constant flow ofsnacks and refreshments throughout theday. No pirates fare here. Everything,in fact, seemed extremely well-organ-ized, reflecting careful planningbehindthe scenes.

Next on the agenda was a visit to thecontrol room, sourceof the soundsema-nating from loud speakers all over theship. Its the same sound filling theears of seven million listeners on land

One of the disc jockeys, a friendly,deep-voiced individual from Liverpool,took it upon himself to showus around.On our way to the control room westopped for a look at the actual trans-mitters. These too are impressive, againthe result of intelligent planning. Thereare two of them, each capableof 11,000watts at full power. As with all radiostations only one transmitter runs at atime; the other is held as a spare. Thestation manager mentioned to me they

were considering using the two togetherfor a full twenty thousand watts.

The two transmitters sit just aboutmidship and feed their power down along cable to the bowof the ship. Theengineer said they were planning amove to save 1000 watts now lost inthe feed cable. This would mean anin-crease in range.

The aerial itself is extremely interest-ing-particularly in size. From a dis-tance Caroline could still pass for apassenger vessel except for its mast.N o one, how ever, can m iss its presentoccupation. Towering unnaturally highabove its deck is a one hundred andsixty-eight-foot mast Its almost ashigh as the ship is long. From its veryapex, at the end of a short horizontalboom, hangs the actual aerial-fourthin wires held apart by metal rings.

Just looking at it I could imagine theengineering difficulties involved inconstructing such a thing. But, as1 wellknew, all this was abrolutely necessary.

One doesnt just connect a random-length aerial to a radio transmitter andexpect to broadcast properly. And forship radio this has been no simpleproblem. The length of aerial neededeven at its shortest is gigantic whenyou contemplate broadcasting from

shipboard. Even at the top of the radiodial (1600 kc, 187 meters) one is facedwith the necessity for an aerialat least150 feet in length. Lower down onthedial the problemis even worse. It w ouldtake a mast nearly 500 ft. high for astation at the low end ofthe dial (540kc, 5 5 6 meters). It is no wonder thenthat R adio Caroline has chosen the highend for its transmissions. Yet even thishas been a gamble.

In Britain the high end of the me-dium wave radio band is not a reallyfavorable location for a radio station.Because the average person has onlyheard the BBC he does not ordinarilyturn his radio dial up that far.Also,top of the dial radio stations do notcarry as far, naturally.

Radio London, also facing thesepiulltms, has tried a compromise ap-proach to aerial length and dial loca-tion. Its spot in the middle of theband is far better than Carolines.(London sits right between the twomost listened-to BBC transmissions.)Its aerial, however, is too short forgood efficiency. At 268 meters (1140kc) it really needs a 220-foo t aerial,but lacks it for the structural problemsinvolved. This partly explains whyits 50,000-watt transmitters have onlyslightly better range than Carolines10,000 watters. Both obviously areworking against giant odds. Even tech-nically it is again a miracle that eitherhas succeeded.

Their Impression of UsIn the actual control roomI was met

by another impressive assortment ofelectronic apparatus. Ampex tape re-corders (the identical type we use inour own radio studios), Gates Profes-sional amplification gear and a host ofother first class radio equipment. Noth-ing amateur here

But far more revealing was the com-ment from the man sitting behind thisarray of technical gadgets. Upon learn-

ing who we were he immediately asked,Which oneof you is Garner Ted Arm-strong? After assuring him it wasneither of us he replied, I should haveguessed it. Neither of you has saidmuch since you got here.

I dont think he meant this sarcas-tically but rather as an expression ofamazement. As I discovered in talkingto him, T h e WORLD OMORROWuz-zled him. He couldnt fit it neatly intoa category like other broadcasts. In oneway or another all of the men expressedthis same bewilderment. They dontagree with what is said, but they doseem to respect the strength of the mes-sage. Another commented, Mr. Arm-strong must have a tremendous organi-zation behind him.

And so, even here, I could see howGods hand had sustained the attitude.W e as Christians need to pray that themen of radio stations all over the worldcarryingT h e WORLD OMORROW ain-tain an attitude of respect for GodsWork.

Time to Leave

Two hours had slipped by and it wastime to catch the crest of the tides forthe return trip. Rack aboard our smalllaunch The Essex Girl, the wind wasblowing and most of the crew found awarmer spot below. I founda shelteredspot to stand and watch Caroline fadeinto the distance. AlsoI wanted to step

aside from the others and think overeverything I had seen.

Back into my mind came dozens ofsmall things-the big ship with itstowering mast, the cosmopolitan crew,the top-notch radio equipment.I hadto admit I had seen a real miracle.

To this I added thoughts of the past

few months, when these strange shipsfirst appeared on the British radioscene. There were stories of Carolinesearlier exploits two years off the coastof Sweden as Radio Nord.The troublesthey had had from the government.The complicated internal proceduresthey faced just to keep afloat. Howcould it have ever worked by itself?

Strange as it all was,I could see thathere was Gods open door of radio t oEngland What I had seen was just tooefficient-too well-ma naged not to beblessed by God. The men behind thescenes acted too confident that nothingcould stop them. In the early days ofAmericas commercial radio industry,the government had been too slow todo anything until it was too late. Thesame, I could see, was happening here.Two years ago Radio Caroline had beenpaid off--bribed-by the Sw edishgovernment, to stop broadcasting. Butnow in Britain, xieltirig an estimatedhalf million pounds a year they were

too successful for this to happen again.No one could now afford to pay themoff. Besides this, the British publiclikes its pop pirates too well to backgovernment action against them. Infact, government agencies are even be-ginning themselves to advertise on t h epirate ships. Hcrc is an examplefrom Londons leading newspaper,T h eDaily Express, recently of such an in-stance:

I heard an intriguing message onRadio London this week. . The mes-sage? An invitation for me to visitAscot Races.

I couldnt believe my ears. Here wasa pirate radio station, declared illegalby the Postmaster-General, broadcast-ing a commercial for Ascot Races. AndAscot Race-course belongs t o theQueen.

The ironic thing is that i f . adver-tisers who book time o n them are tobe treated as lawbreakers, the Govern-ment may find itself having a head-on

collision with. . he Queens officialrepresentative at Ascot.

For several weeks running RadioCaroline carried a full hour prepared,sponsored and paid for by the Minis-try of Agriculture, to promote sales inthe lagging egg industry. Surely theseare significant signs.

For the British government, it hasbecome a matter of admitting thesestations exist and making the best ofit. The BBC has even changed a fewof its own programs, trying desperatelyto grab back a fewof its lost audience.

Meaning for the FutureWith all these facts coursing through

my mind, two implications for the fu-ture became clear. I could now see whyGod had put His own Work on thesepirate radio stations-why H e had

gone to all the trouble to back themagainst unbelievable odds.It seems commercial radio ships will

be the main medium forT h e WORLDTOMORROWn Britain. God has in-vested too much time, money and ef-fort just to let it all collapse in thenear future. Britains offshore radioships have succeeded in the faceof toomany impossible odds to be anythingbut inspired of Almighty God.

Gods warning message to a dyingworld I S going out in ever INCREAS-

I N G power to the peoples of GreatBritain. It may be on pirate popradio but it is Gods Work.

Let these facts make you reflect deep-ly on how close we must be to thee n d of the age

God knew this final generation

would bend, t w h riatural laws andnatural beauty into a wrong use. Thatis why He inspired the word auon todescribe our sins today.

W herefore has the Lord pro-nounced all this great evil againstus?or what is our iniquity [auon)? orwhat is our sin {chattah) that we havecommitted against the Lord our God?Then shallyou say to them, Because yourfathers have forsaken me, says the Eter-nal, and have walked after other gods,and have served them, and have wor-shiped them, and have forsaken me,and have not kept my law. Thereforewill I cast you OUT OF THIS LAND intoa land that you know not. (Jer.16:lO-13.) National captivity is corn-ing on the United States because of law-breaking, because of aVO?Z-PERVER-

Yes, God knew that we would comeup with crazy, offbeat modern art, weirdmusic and lustful dances God knewthat we would half undress our wom-en--cut dresses off above the kneesoas to incite lust in men. God correctlycalls us a people laden with iniquity(Isa. 1:4 . And surely our iniquity(auon) is not hidden fr om Gods eyes(Jer. 16:17).

SION

Gam al Nasser, Too?

Gamal Abdel Nasser happens to have(in his first name) another Hebrewword for sin Gamal really means la-bor, toil (usually including the ideaof wearisome, PAINFUL EFFORT). Eventhough Nasser s name is Arabic, notHebrew, I could not resist the parallel.Though this word can be translatedsin, it brings out a special aspect ofsin. Sin is not delicious or sweet. Theresults of sin always bring painful,agonizing unhappiness andtoil.

Imagine how much work a gamblergoes to, just to make a fast buck.Stays up all night, drives all the wayacross the state, skips meals, worries,schemes and plans and plots, fightsoffheadache, backache and hangover-justto get something for nothing. it

o e ~ n l wurk

A lot of painful labor and toil (sin,gamal) goes into the body-buildinggame. Have you ever stopped to won-der just exactly what in the world

mirrors have to do with liftingweights? I am speaking of these pop-ular-and money-making-gymnasiumswhich advertise the body beautifulfor men ( ) and women. W e knowwhat bars are for, what disks of iron,weights, pulleys, rowing machines, etc.are for. But what about themirrors?

Mirrors are an essential part of body-building apparatus. The mirrors arethere so you can see yourself-that iswhy a body builder cant walk normal-ly. He must stretch his neck, he cocksthe arms slightly to make the bicepsbulge, he spreads his lats (themuscles that make the V-shape in theupper part of the back), etc.

You will note that body buildersusually work in tight bathing trunks,or at least stripped to the waist. The

reason for all this is simple. They wantto see themselves They haveto buildup that vanity Th e pride of {physi-cal) life And all the labor and toilthey go through becomes pamal-thatis sin-as long as it is for a vainpur-pose.

It actually hurts to build a body. Itactually takes pain and sweat and strain.But as long as you have a mirror infront of you, youre in business. Themi rro r pulls you on-that vanity ofseeing yourself grow.

A Nat ion of Cheats

Gamal also includes the great, stren-uous effort so many students put fortht o cheat. Did you read about the hun-dred plus top men in the nation at theAir Force Academy, Colorado Springs,who were expelled for cheating? Mywife and I visited the academy lastsummer. W e saw what tremendous ad-vantages those men had there-the bestof everything. Beautiful area, mountain

setting, fabulous new buildings, every-thing going for them. W e noticed alsothey had great espiritde corps-spiritand zeal. But at least a hundred ofthem-the nations cream of the crop

The work involved in cheating isphenomenal. It takes great effort, mucheye strain, and a very fine pen to in-scribe answers and formulae on a foldof skin on the palm of the hand. Ittakes great effort for a woman to write

answers on her knees and the insideofher thighs so the teacher (who is aman) cant ask her to lift her dress ifhe catches her cheating.

CANNING and FREEZINGwith HONEY

Heres how you can save on your food budget. CAN* andFREEZE fruits in season Many who are really interested inproper nutrition are doing so. Canning and freezing, ofcourse, reqzlire some sweetening. So, for improved nutrition,

F

Canning with HoneyHow do you go about canning

with honey? First, have in mindwhat produce is available. Thenread over the recipes and decide

what you want to freeze or can.Next, select a honey that hasthe desired flavor. Clover honey isa good mild honey and is best formost canning. Other good honeysfor use in sweetening fruits areorange blossom and maple honey.It is more economical to buy thekind of honey you intend to use most of in large containerssuch as the five gallon cans.

Organize your work a day ahead of time and make cer-tain you have all the ingredients necessary. A large kettleshould be used as honey foams when heated.

On your canning day select fruit that is firm and fullyripe. Tree ripened is best. Wash fruit carefully. Jars aswell as lids should be sterilized. Be sure to follow manu-facturers instructions on use of lids and processing.

Read These Special DirectionsThe directions which follow are designed for a water

cooker in preference to a pressure cooker. A water cooker isthe least expensive means of canning and there is less pos-

have a bought one. Take a pot that will easily hold 3 or 4quart or pint jars (whichever size you are using) when thelid of the pot is in place. Place thin strips of wood theyneed not be more than 1/4 inch thick) on the bottom of thispot in such a way that each jar will stand steady when placedon them. There must be room enough that the jars will nottouch each other or the sides of t he p o t . A quarter to a half-inch clearance all around each jar is enough.

Arrange the filled and capped jars in the pot. Then pourin moderately hot (nevev boiling) water. The water levelshould be one-half to two-thirds the height of the jars. Puton the lid, place the pot over heat and bring the water to agood boil.

The lengths of time given for processing are to be countedfrom the time the water around the jars begins to boil.

When the cooking time is up, turn off the heat or

remove the pot from the stove. Carefully remove the lidsothat escaping steam goes away from you. With a thick foldedtowel or a pad, lift out the jars one by one. This is done bygrasping each jar just below the glass rim that is immediatelybeneath the edge of the jar lid.You may break the seal if yougrasp it by the jar lid alone.

Place the hot jars on a clean folded cloth, screw the lidstight and leave the jars to cool.Do not try to cool themquickly by chilling or placing them in a draft. They maycrack or break.

Now you are ready to begin the actual canning. It isquite simple with honey.

APPLES

Co oki ng Varieties-Common cooking varieties are RomeBeauty, Jonathan, McIntosh, etc. Wash and core, peel thinlyif desired. Halve, qu arter or slice, depending on intended use.Put fruit in water to which honey has been added to preventbrowning of fruit. The proportion should be about1 cup ofhoney to 4 cups of water.

Heat in .rame wuter until fruit boils 5 minutes. Pack injars. Fill with hot syrup (in which the fruit was cooked)to the first rim of jar neck. Put on lids. Process in boilingwater bath 20 minutes.

W h o l e or Ha lf Spiced Apples-Wash and core. Cookin syrup 1 cup honey to 3 cups water) with whole allspice,cloves and stick cinnamon. ( I f desired, color with cherryjuice.) When fruit is beginning to soften remove from heatand immediately pack in large-mouth jars with spices. Coverwith sterilized lids and process25 minutes.

Applesaucewash apples well . Quarter apples and placein large kettle. Add water to cover the bottom of the kettle.Cover kettle and cook until apples are well done. Put througha colander or food mill. Sweeten with honey as desired andplace in jars. Put lids on and process in boiling-water bath1 5 minutes.

BERRIES

Ra w Pack-Wash berries and drain well. Fill jars tofirst rim, shaking berries down while fillingjars. Cover withhot syrup (1 cup honey to 3 cups water) within ?12 nch oftop. Process in boiling-water bath20 miniites.

Hot Pac k Method-This is best for firm berries. W ashbcrrics and drain well. Add$$ cup honey to each quart offruit. Let set for about10 minutes until honey dissolves.DONOT STIR when adding the honey. This will cause the berriesto break and become mushy. After thc bcrrics have set, bringto a boil, shaking pan to keep the berries from sticking. (Lowheat is best.) Pack hot berries and process as with rawpack.

Strawberries-These may be canned satisfactorily, Fre et-ing, however, seems to preserve them better. To can straw-berries choose only firm and ripe fruit for best results. Sliceor leave whole. Pour abouty2 cup of honey over every quartof raw berries. Do NOT STIR as the berries will begin to

crush. Allow to set about20 minutes until the honey beginsto dissolve and the berries make their own juice. It is besnot to do large amounts at one time.Pour off juice and heatto boiling. Add the berries. When berries are thoroughlyhea ted, pack in jars-pints are best- and process in boilingwater bath for 2 0 minutes.

Cherries-Follow the same procedu re as for Berries. Re

move pits if desired.FRUIT JUICES

Wash fruit; cut in large pieces and/or crush. Add wateto cover bottom of kettle. Cover and heat well. Strain througloosely woven cloth bag. Add honey according to naturasweetness of fruit. About1 cup of honey to 1 gallon of juiceis a good average. Reheat to simmer. Fill jars to withiY2 inch of top. Cap and process10 minutes in boiling-waterbath.

FRUIT PUREES

Use sound, ripe fruit. Prepare and cook as for Fru

Juices. Put through a straineror food mill. Add honey totaste. Heat to simmering again. Pack hotto within v2inchof top. Put lids in place and process in boiling-water bat1 5 minutes.

PEACHES OR APRICOTS

Wash peaches. Placea half dozen or so of peaches in acloth bag, dip in boiling water a few seconds, then in colwater. Thc skins can llieii be casily removed. Cut peachesin halves and remove pits. Slice if desired.To prevent fruitfrom darkening, put immediately in honey-sweetened wateUse no more liquid than is necessary to cover fruit. Formost canning varieties use about1 cup of honey to 3 cups

of water. Heat in this water and pack in jars. Peaches shou

be heated to prevent shrinkage in jars during processing.Pack halves overlapping with pit side down. Process inboiling-water bath for 30 minutes.

Spiced Peaches-Add cloves and whole cinnamon to jarswhen packing. Or add 2 to 4 tablespoons of brandy to eachjar. These can be used for dessert or for a tangy salad.

PEARSWash pears. Peel; cut in halves and core. Continue as with

peaches, except use not more than 1 cup of honey for 4 cups

of water. For variety try adding slices of orange to each jarof pears. Or you may prefer to use orange blossom honey fora delicate orange flavor.

PLUMS

Wash plums. To can whole, prick skins. Freestone varie-ties may be halved and pitted. Pour honey over fruit and heatuntil hot. (Use about y3 cup honey for each quart of rawfru it. ) Add small amount of water to prevent sticking. Fill

jars, cap and process in boiling-water bath for 20 minutes.

RHUBARB

Wash and trim off ends and any bruised spots. Cut thestalks into half-inch pieces. Measure the rhubarb into a heavypot. For each 6 cups of rhubarb add cup of hot water.Cover the utensil and cook slowly.

When the rhubarb is nearly tender (test with a fork)add y to v cup of mild honey. Heat to bubbling and ladleinto hot, sterile jars. Put on sterile lids and screw tight. Pro-cess 1 5 minutes in water cooker.

Each 6 cups of raw rhubarb will yield 4% cups of cooked

and sweetened rhubarb. This is a good recipe for rhubarbeaten fresh also. Some like it better with a little cinnamonor other spice added.

FRUIT COMBINATIONS

Fruit Cocktail-This offers the home canner unlimitedopportunities to exercise the imagination. Combinations of

peaches, pears, pineapple (fresh), grapes (seedless), apricotsin honey syrup ( 1 cup honey, 2 3 5 cups water) makes anideal fruit mixture. Cut fruit in desired sizes. Add to boilingsyrup and heat to boiling. Pack in jars and process in boiling-water bath for 30 minutes.

FRUIT JAMS

Jams can be made with honey instead of sugar, but willhave a slightly more liquid consistency depending on thefruits used. Pectin should be used. Follow manufacturersdirections substituting honey for sugar. Make in small. batrhes.Allow mixture to boil a full rolling boil about 1 5 minutes.

Be sure to cover well with paraffin wax. Cover with lid oncethe jam is cool.

Where the fruit is already thoroughly cooked, as in thecase of jams and frui t butters, the product does not need tobe processed in a hot water bath. Care should be taken thatthe jars and lids have been thoroughly sterilized.

Pear Honey-Combine 2 cups diced pears, 1 cup freshdiced pineapple, 1 package of pectin. Combine and heat untilpectin is dissolved. Add honey and bring to a boil andsimmer for 20 minutes. Pour into hot sterilized jelly jarsand cover with melted paraffin wax.

This is a delightful specialty spread for toast orhot rolls.

Plum Butter or Apple Butter-Wash frui t and removeall soft spots or bruises. Cut in large pieces. Put in large kettleand add only enough water to cook fruit well. When tenderput through colander or food mill to remove pits and skins.Measure pulp and add to 1/2 cup of honey for each cupof fruit. Cook until thick, stirring often. Seal in hot steril-ized jars.

If a spiced butter is desired, add about / teaspoon eachof ground allspice and nutmeg to each quart of fruit.

Frui t Syrups-For waffles, hot breads or fruit drinks,

try this. Combine 3 cups fruit juice and 1 box of pectin.Bring to a hard boil and add 1 cup honey. Bring to hardboil again and let boil for 5 minutes. Pour into hot sterilizedjars and seal.

JELLIES

Jellies can be made with honey. However, the cookingin an open kettle and the hard boiling required to makejelly (and jam as well) cause some loss of the nutritionalqualities in honey. From the standpoint of health value youwould be ahead to serve the fruit juice as a beverage and thehoney as a spread.

As in canning, you may use differentflavors of honey to accomplish differentdelicate flavor combinations. Or youmay want to freeze combinations offruit to make frozen fruit cocktails.

Be sure to do small amounts at atime. This will prevent fruit fromcrushing.

Amounts of honey used depend onnatural sweetness of fruit, desired sweet-ness and juice as honey makes liquid.

It is best to use only enough honey tolightly coat fruits. For the best qualityand flavor rememberto use only enoughhoney to balance any tartness withoutinterfering with the natural flavor ofthe fruit.
