"Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock an enthusiastic audience of 1,270 people were present to hear Mr. J. C. Howard of New York speak on "Who Will Conquer the World in the 1970's?" Illustrating the struggle between East and West and the efforts to dominate economically and culturally, Mr. Howard contrasted the fight to a prize arena. In one corner, he said, 'with fists clinched in red shorts, stands the champion of the East, sponsored by Soviet Russia.'
" 'In the other corner, braced for any eventuality, stands the West, sponsored by the more liberal democratic powers of the world -- committed to keeping communist ideology from its hemisphere. Both champions have made it clear they will not hesitate to lash out nuclear punches in retaliation if necessary.'
"The speaker emphasized that men who know the trend of world affairs, and more importantly, the Bible itself, earmarks the 70's as the generation that will tell the outcome.
" 'Personally, world conquest can mean life or death for us,' he declared. He pointed to Jesus who was no part of the world and yet conquered the world. 'This is a decade of destiny and as Christian Witnesses of Jehovah, we can conquer the world as Jesus did by our faithfulness to God's Word, the Bible" (Burlington Times-News, 29 September 1970, p. 8B)
