Manila, Philippines

Gentlemen:

I am a Christian Japanese. I listen to your broadcast with great interest every day.

Your "Call of the Orient" by DZH8 on 15.3 mc can be received very clearly in Japan, especially in the day time. I listen to Japanese language program from 1:15 to 1:30 p.m. with fine gusiness [sic(?)] on Sunday. I also like to listen Byble Class broadcast and Engish preaches. Please send me a Byble Class text.

God bless you, Amen,

Gentlemen:

I am a student of university. I have been listening to Programmes of overseas service of various foreign stations with my brothers every day.

I made my set this summer. My set is anodyne with 5 tubes which can catch the broadcasting service of VOA, ABC, BBC, Free China, Communist China and Moscow. I made the set hope for beautiful music, happy news, and the benefit of science. It is very attractive to listen programmes of oversee stations by set which made myself. And if they talk together with friendship!

But, contrary to my expectation they are full of slender and fear to war. There are no voice from friendship each heart except over a voice. Broadcasting electric wave is the factor of civilization to bring happy to every nations. But, now they are utilized only to show. the surface of mortal ugliness.

I was disappointed.

One day , I caught a broadcasting of Japanese language. And it is a prayer. It was not defamed another, and confess guilt , and preached gospel, and persuaded every nation are brother. Gospel of God in the midst of struggle of propaganda broadcast took possession of my heart.

I wish every one hear your broadcasting believe in God. I heartily that you preach Gospel with confidence, and realize your own strength and God's love. I urge from the bottom of my heart your courage.

Sincerely wishing to have your kind reply.
