equally important that all shall have been saving the second tithe to pay your
own
expenses and enjoyment at the Festival. Of course, part of that expense is
rental of
auditoriums or halls or convention centers and other expenses the Church must
pay. So, as always, be sure to send in a tithe of your entire year's second
tithe by
return mail. Mark or list it separately from your regular first tithe or
offering.
What a blessing from God that we have not had to borrow regularly for the
operations of the Work at the banks during all the last five years and so far
this
year. Formerly we had to borrow a million dollars in January and pay back out of
Passover special offerings. Then we had to borrow another million in July to be
paid back from the Fall Festival offerings. Loan rates to largest bank customers
had gone over 20 percent! What a blessing not to have to pay these exccessive
interest rates!
Instructions for making your housing arrangements will be included in
your
Feast information material. U.S. and Canadian brethren will receive this
information in a special Festival Planner in April.
I wish you all the best wishes for a solemn Passover and a joyous
Festival of
Unleavened Bread.
With much love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
