Dear Friend and Co-Worker:
GREETINGS! in Jesus' name: We have just returned to Eugene.
After an absence of three months and two days, I am again back at
my desk. And I find the situation such that the very first thing
I must do is write a very special and URGENT emergency letter to
all our Co-Workers. I find the work in a financial CRISIS--the
whole work in grave DANGER--it needs $5,000 at once. First, THANK
YOU! for your loyal support, your prayers and interest, thru the
summer while we have been away on our 14,000-mile nation-wide
baptizing tour. You have made it possible to hold things together
thru a very difficult summer season, permitting me to take this
important tour and experience a much-needed change from the long
routine of conducting daily broadcasts. It wasn't a rest, for we
have had to keep on the move just every moment, as those of you
whom we were able to visit know. But it was a much-needed change,
and tho we have returned home very tired from so long a tour, yet
I feel refreshed, re-invigorated, and inspired for the heavy tasks
ahead, and enthusiastically ANXIOUS to plunge into them---for we
have GREAT PLANS for this coming fall and winter season!
The summer tour was full of both joys and disappointments:
joys in the privilege of getting to really see, and meet, and talk
with so many of our co-workers, and with so many who have been
converted thru his great work of God;--disappointments in having to
pass up so many who had written in, wanting us to stop and see
them, and in missing several we tried to see. I found it was
impossible to visit and see more than a fraction of those who
requested us to visit them--and we even had to miss seeing many who
have been converted thru the broadcast and wanted to be baptized.
I have learned the need for more personal contact with our vast
nation-wide and international radio audience. And I have great
news for you, which I hope I may announce in the next BULLETIN, of
plans now formulating for the expansion of this work that will make
it possible.
I have said before, in the BULLETIN, that I wish it were
possible for you to sit with me at my desk, reading with me the
thousands of letters that pour in every week from listeners--what
an inspiration it would be! And how much more would you come to
realize the unestimatable importance and vast good accomplished by
this work. But if you only could have travelled with us this
summer, and seen and talked personally with the scores of people
whose lives have been changed--who have been led, thru the broad-
cast and literature sent out to repentance of sins, to complete and
unconditional surrender to God and His laws and His ways of living
