this crusade to shout God's warning to our people in this crisis,
by adding more and more radio stations until the warning and the
true Gospel Message are going COAST TO COAST. It means utter
sacrifice, our fullest interest and effort, continuous earnest
prevailing PRAYER. May I count on you?

Again, in the last BULLETIN, I said: "'Cry aloud, and
spare not; lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people
their transgressions!' commands the Lord (Isa. 58:1). 'When I
bring the sword upon a land,' says the Almighty, 'if the people of
the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their
watchman: if when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow
the trumpet, and warn the people; ...he that taketh warning shall
deliver his soul. BUT if the watchman see the sword come, and blow
not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come,
and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his
iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand!'
(Ezek.33:1-6). Fellow Co-workers, I SEE HE SWORD COMING! ...Our
people MUST BE WARNED! God has commissioned US to shout that
warning as certainly as He commissioned the prophets of old!" This
prophecy is for OUR TIME ---for US. Will you HELP me fulfill it?
The S T A T E of G O D ' S W O R K
We are entering the most critical time for God's work.
Perilous times lie ahead---immediately ahead. The time, now, is
just the BEGINNING of sorrows, as Jesus foretold. God's work is
in DANGER.
But now, more than ever, His work MUST GO ON---in vastly
multiplied power! It SHALL go on, thru faith in HIM!
Let me tell you candidly of the present state of the
work. Readjustments have had to be made. The war is causing
readjustments in every line of activity in America. In the
September 26th BULLETIN I told you of the marvelous opportunity
God had opened to add a Los Angeles station to the broadcast.
For that a special separate fund of $750 is needed. About a third
of it came in.
But we had to stop in our tracks, and make some
readjustments here in the office first. As most of you may know,
Mrs. Armstrong and I have been carrying nearly all this work alone,
almost without help, and without necessary office equipment.
Letters were piling up on my desk by the scores, requiring a
personal answer. I was unable to get to them. The PLAIN TRUTH
mailing list increased to 6,500, and we had no addressing-machine.
If you can imagine writing out 6,500 names and addresses every time
we send The PLAIN TRUTH,---writing them BY HAND---you will see what
we were up against. It was holding up The PLAIN TRUTH, so it has
been coming out only about every three months.
I did not dare start a Los Angeles station that would
DOUBLE our present mail, and the mailing list, until we could
organize the office to handle it. For years I have needed an
efficient secretary. Since the last BULLETIN, God has provided
