This invitation includes everybody. It is a universal invitation because every human soul has burdens: Everybody who has any personality at all—that is, anyone who is aware of his existence—has soul burdens, has labor, has duties, has things to do. The entire message of Christ's statement here is found in Matthew 11:28-30: "Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. "Take My yoke. upon you, and learn of .Me for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light:' More and more people today are bearing a burden Office Room of Elder Richards in of concern. More and more people realize that the New Voice of Prophecy Building world is certainly no place of peace. Not only do we have a cold war that envelops the whole world, but we have a hot war that is draining out the lives and bodies and souls of men. People everywhere are "Come V concerned, people everywhere are carrying burdens, laboring apparently for so little reward. It seems that one month follows another and one year another with by H. mankind no nearerdits goal of eternal peace, world-wide security, and heart-warming accomplishment. Surely, friend, it is time that we listened to the one authoritative voice: "Come unto Me, all :" That means you; it means me. The Voice of Prophecy is attempting to give this call clearly, and from the Holy Word of our Redeemer. It is our desire to put these words of our only Saviour into the hearts of men around the world! We know that only as people accept His call and turn to Him and roll their burdens upon Him and receive Him as their Friend, their Saviour, their Helper, and Guide, can real peace come, that peace which lives deep in the heart and keeps uc through everything—yes, everything that may possibly come to us. That is why Jesus says: "Come unto Me all of you. My burden is easy, My yoke is light; and you will find the peace for which your soul has longed:' The Voice of Prophecy broadcasting group has just returned front a trip of several thousand miles visiting camp meetings, evangelistic gatherings, and other places of Christian witness and testimony. Never before in our experience have we met so many people who testify to the blessing that has come to them through The Voice of Prophecy, people who say: "You .brought me to Jesus. The Voice of Prophecy broadcasts kept me from suicide, from utter despair. I listened to the broadcast, enrolled in the

What the world needs above everything else today is a voice of authentic love, the love of God for lost men. During the great peace conference after the First World War, Clemenceau, the "Tiger of France:' referring to Woodrow Wilson, said, "He spoke like Jesus Christ:' There was a curl of scorn on the lips that made this statement, but he spoke a greater truth than he knew. Had the leaders of this world spoken like Jesus Christ then—and since then, and today— woffid not the world be a different place? Would not human hearts everywhere be blessed if Christians would speak like Jesus Christ—not only truth, but truth in Radiebroadcasting Group. A nding love?

We hope also on Richards television to carry the witness farther and farther out, and deeper and deeper, into human hearts. Will you, my friend, co-operate with The Voice of Prophecy in giving this message to all men everywhere, in presenting Christ to the millions? That is the burden of The Voice of Prophecy. The hour is late. Earth's day is drawing on into the darkness of night. Will you not at this time of special need make a special sacrificial offering to The Voice of Prophecy? • Only once a year do we come to the churches with this appeal for an offering made through the church. The General Conference has authorized this offering, and we hope—yes, we pray—that all our ministers, pastors, ,,and workers in this cause will co-operate earnestly with us in making this the greatest offering ever. We must not reduce radio coverage; we ought to add. We ought to go into television. Not only must we receive the faithful support of our friends directly to The Voice of Prophecy office during the E.
