ABROAD!
Co-Workers, I have to ask you to sacrifice as never before.
If you could see what we saw in Europe---how people shiver and go
cold, how HUNGRY they are, how thread-bare their clothes---how
TERRIBLE is their plight---you'd realize that ANY sacrifice you
make for GOD'S CAUSE is as NOTHING compared to what has been laid
on them! We and we alone in all this world bask in the sunshine
of PLENTY---of LUXURY! We, too, can go without some things we had
planned to get. It won't hurt us as much as we think. GOD'S WORK
IS AT STAKE! Now, as never before, the work needs generous
offerings from some who can---if their heart is yielded to God and
made willing---put five or ten thousand dollars into GOD'S WORK.
We need many offerings of a hundred dollars or more. But---most
important---those of you who do not have such amounts, DON'T THINK
THAT BECAUSE OF THE GREAT NEED THE WIDOW'S MITES WILL DO NO GOOD
---there must be a quick, air-mail SHOWER of WIDOW'S MITES if this
need is to be met. Just send QUICKLY---by air-mail---and if a
larger sum, by WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH, the largest sum YOU can,
whether a dollar or ten thousand. And then JOIN ME IN EARNEST,
BELIEVING, PREVAILING PRAYER, that God will move on those who are
able to send in QUICKLY enough to meet this vital emergency and
save this most important work in this world! Nothing but believing
PRAYER for a MIRACLE, and utmost generous sacrifice on the part of
each one can save the work now. It MUST be saved! God is able,
and WILL---if we do our utmost.
God bless you, in this deepest crisis I know you won't fail.
