TRUTH and booklets advertised. And so it is around the world.
And that beautiful brochure we sent you? THAT was seen by
officials of the largest mass-circulation magazine in West Germany.
It resulted in opening up to us FULL PAGE ADS -- large size page --
every month, with more than FOUR MILLION COPIES circulation, and
probably 15 million German readers! That sure PAID OFF!
Now I would like to give you an analysis of JUST WHAT your
tithes and offerings are accomplishing in God's Work. There is NO
OTHER PLACE ON EARTH where every dollar accomplishes SO MUCH! Some
Co-Workers, limited to very small incomes, may notice how large
this Work has become, and decide their contributions to it are so
small they don't count. So I want to show you what JUST THE
WIDOW'S MITES accomplish.
Here it is:
THE WIDOW'S MITES: If you are only able to give the
widow's mites -- $2.00 -- and not even that every month --
but 10 times a year --
YOU paid the cost of 40 people hearing The World Tomorrow
52 times -- or, 2,080 people hearing one half-hour
broadcast,
AND IN ADDITION; MUCH MORE THAN THAT:
You pay for the subscriptions for 3 people getting The
PLAIN TRUTH one year OR -- you get 36 people to read one
copy of The PLAIN TRUTH.
AND IN ADDITION; ALSO:
You pay the cost of inducing one student to study the
Bible Correspondence Course, completing 9 lessons -- OR,
you pay for getting 9 students to start the course,
receiving the first lesson paid by you.
AND IN ADDITION:
You have been one of a little group of 100, each able to
give ONLY the widow's 2 mites 10 times a year, and
together you paid the cost of bringing 5 new conversions
-- 5 precious lives going into God's Kingdom with ETERNAL
LIFE.
AND IN ADDITION:
You shared with only 9 such groups of widows or people of
very meager means in putting 4 students through Ambassador
College for ONE WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR.
YOU SHARED in adding this year approximately 7,000 new
conversions.
IF your income is BELOW average -- say only $400.00 per
