The multitudes "were astonished at His doctrine." Today the same living Christ, through The WORLD TOMOR- ROW broadcast, The PLAIN TRUTH magazine, and THIS WORK, proclaims in mighty power around the world His SAME GOSPEL the same Gospel preached by Peter, Paul, and the original Apostles. Twenty-two million people hear this dynamic Message every week, on every inhabited continent of the earth. And today, just as 1900 years ago, multitudes are ASTONISHED at His doctrine, and say: "No man ever spoke like this!" It is as shockingly different today as it was then. WHY should that be? Every week thousands hear this astonishing Message for the first time. And so itis natural that many begin to ask: "WHO IS THIS? Who isbehind this Work? Who sponsors it? HOW can such a powerful program go out over the air world-wide, without ever making an appeal for public financial support? WHY do they never beg for contributions? HOW can they publish such an attrac- tive,interesting news magazine and never charge asubscription price or accept any advertising?" One man said, incredulously, "It's a mystery to me-I simply can't understand it! Nobody ever did anything like it before-and yet this Work keeps growing and multiplying in power and scope." It's no secret. There's never been anything to hide. Continuously, over the air,in The PLAIN TRUTH, by personal letter to the entire mailing list, we have revealed the TRUE FACTS. But new listeners hear the program for the first time every day-and they WONDER! This booklet, giving the frank, straightforward TRUTH -the INSIDE STORY of this Work, became, therefore, a necessity. Here, written by Roderick C. Meredith-Second Vice President of this Work of God, is the account of how he first checked up what he found-and what are the TRUE FACTS.
