have always followed this policy laid down in God's Word.
But right now, GOD'S GREAT WORK IS THREATENED! This
Christmas shopping spree is diverting the support of many
Co-Workers from CHRIST and HIS WORK, into EXCHANGING GIFTS with
other PEOPLE. Many Co-Workers have come to see that the GIFTS
should go to CHRIST for HIS WORK -- not to other people -- and have
stopped giving Christmas presents altogether. But too many others
are still NEGLECTING any gift for CHRIST, even though they suppose
they are giving BIRTHDAY PRESENTS on CHRIST'S BIRTHDAY! Actually
December 25 is NOT the date on which Jesus was born! But those
wise men, appearing long AFTER His birthday, presented their gifts
TO CHRIST -- not to one another!
Dear Co-Workers, I HAVE to send you this S.O.S. -- LET'S
NOT NEGLECT AND LET DOWN CHRIST'S WORK -- LET'S SEND IN THE BIGGEST
GIFT EVER, FOR HIS WORK! Let's KEEP UP OUR PART, generously, in
HELPING CHANGE, and SAVE THIS SICK AND SINNING WORLD! Please PRAY
earnestly over this! It is URGENT -- and I'm enclosing a stamped
AIRMAIL reply envelope to air-speed your extra and special gift
back to us! THANK YOU from the heart!
With love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
