The Movement is relentlessly expanding

We have 15 teams of two full time members or more including 3 teams of over 8 persons — 2 in London and one, Samson, in the North. In addition we are developing illustrated lecture-slides. Our little printing machine turns out 30,000 booklets a week, and each week we reach over 50,000 people.
The response to our “Korean Revival” is exceptional. We sell over 25,000 a week and this makes a really good condition. I reckon that they are read at least once, since people pay 10 pence (US$0.25) for them. Then we have just printed our first posters on the new big machine, and they are already on view in Slough High Street.
When we have sixty centers and 500 members I believe we shall be in the position to take the nation for God. Newspapers, shows, film, etc.
The ground work, the daily slog of witnessing, selling booklets, is not so very “newsworthy.” Week after week, here a new member, there a new member, then we begin another 40-day condition. But nevertheless the movement is relentlessly expanding.
We have many new faces. Amongst them Hamish Robertson — Gaelic scholar at Glasgow University — has translated the witnessing pamphlet into Gaelic, and is now working on translating the Divine Principle. Gaelic is spoken in the islands off the Western side of Britain — about 50,000 people.
Other new members include Robert Ratley — Australian graduate doing graduate work at Manchester University; two Hotel Management students, Oliver Lane in Cambridge and Robert Williamson in Edinburgh. Brian Witirange, the Army officer, has been working on special projects for me. He has been visiting over 50 professors and lecturers at Oxford and Cambridge, who are now reading the Divine Principle.
Well, the old country is gradually waking up. Samson has aroused a great deal of interest. It is a unique vehicle. British people are naturally interested in the colorful painting on the side. So we shall continue to open up new centers and build a perfect Britain. Mansei!
