A VERY SPECIAL EMERGENCY LETTER TO ALL OUR CO-WORKERS
Dear Friends and Co-Workers:
I have to rush to you this afternoon a VERY SPECIAL LETTER--to
explain something vital and important to the future of this work.
Please read every word carefully, and don't lay this letter
down until you have read it thru.
First let me say I haven't been able, due to the heavy pressure
of the work since beginning the EVERY-NIGHT broadcasting, to send
out "Our Co-Workers' BULLETIN" as I formerly did each month. It
will be resumed soon. I wanted to send out a BULLETIN as soon as
The PLAIN TRUTH is mailed out. However, circumstances have arisen
that make it impossible to wait. I must rush this special
emergency letter to you IMMEDIATELY!
Last December there was opened to us a TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY--
to broadcast EVERY NIGHT except Saturday, over the two most
powerful stations in North America, at the VERY BEST HOUR every
evening, a full half hour warning this nation of impending disaster
--proclaiming fearlessly the true GOSPEL--to put on one of the most
intensive and far-reaching campaigns of soul-saving ever made
possible in history! It meant obligating myself to an expense
THREE TIMES as great as the amount of money then being sent to us
for this work. But God opened the way. In sheer faith, we
followed!
It was impossible to get out an issue of The PLAIN TRUTH
immediately. I wanted to get articles on some of these vital
subjects into the hands of listeners IMMEDIATELY. We had been
frequently printing articles on our own mimeograph here in our
office. So, I began from the first every-night broadcast to offer
a wide variety of these special articles over the air.
I could not foresee that a veritable AVALANCHE of letters would
pour in on us requesting these articles. We started out determined
to mail out all articles requested the day the requests arrived.
But soon we were literally snowed under. They began arriving at
the rate of a THOUSAND requests A DAY! We doubled our office
staff--then tripled it---hiring typists and office girls to address
envelopes, insert and mail out articles and booklets, check names
and addresses with the mailing list and get all new names on the
