Dear Co-Workers in Christ:
The most important---I believe the most interesting---
number of The PLAIN TRUTH ever published is now ready for the
printers, with that astonishing article, "UNDER COVER IN EUROPE;"
and also "The NUMBER OF THE BEAST---666," showing on whom it is
branded; "WHAT IS THE SOUL?" "Shall I Join a Church?" "Did
CHRIST, who was actually GOD in human flesh, DIE, or did only His
BODY die?" and others.
Co-Workers, I have had so much on my hands to do it has
been a real task to get this number written. But now once again
THE PLAIN TRUTH IS HELD UP WAITING ON OUR CO-WORKERS! There is no
money on hand to pay for its printing!
All this year God has INCREASINGLY blessed this work---
more each month than the month before; yet, all this year, a larger
number of co-workers each month seem to become lax or careless, and
each month our Co-Workers, as a whole, ARE LETTING GOD'S PRECIOUS
WORK DOWN, each month more than the month before. Co-Workers, THIS
OUGHT NOT TO BE, and it cannot continue, OR THIS WORK MUST STOP!
It is only because a portion of our Co-Workers have continued to
stand so loyally back of God's work and a great sacrifice have
continued month after month to be faithful and honest with GOD'S
TITHE, and GENEROUS with their offerings---some of you perhaps even
more than you really should---that this wonderful work is still
alive and growing, now! God bless you! BUT NOW WE ARE AT THE VERY
END, AND WILL GO OFF THE AIR IN TWO WEEKS, UNLESS SEVERAL THOUSAND
DOLLARS COME BY RETURN MAIL.
NEVER has this work been so blessed of God! NEVER has it
borne such rich and abundant fruit for God's Kingdom! NEVER has it
advanced and grown as during this year. And yet NEVER have our
Co-Workers continued, month by month, to let down more and more in
sending in the money so desperately needed to carry it on.
AMBASSADOR COLLEGE has simply leaped ahead in progress.
First of all, I have now, at least three years sooner than I ever
expected, men whom I know to be called of God, truly converted,
consecrated, trained, and competent men, fully qualified, now.
This summer I sent out two of them on a Coast to Coast baptizing
tour. SEVENTY-EIGHT precious souls were baptized by them on their
tour---people converted by the broadcast, The PLAIN TRUTH, and
literature from our office---yes, really CONVERTED---their lives
completely CHANGED! Several others have come from different parts
of the country to Pasadena to be baptized in our beautiful out-door
