people are more crowded, exists in the north Atlantic states, New
England, and across the great middle-west to and including Illinois
and Wisconsin. And THIS is the portion of the United States WE
WERE NOT REACHING!
Then suddenly GOD OPENED THE DOOR for us to go on one of
the great major net-works---ABC, transcontinental. If we have to
stop on ABC, WE CANNOT GET BACK ON!
WE ORDERED THEIR BEST AND STRONGEST STATIONS IN THOSE
DENSELY-POPULATED STATES WE WERE NOT REACHING. We ordered but few
or NO stations in those states where we already have heavy
listening audiences over XEG and XELO. For example, we are not
using any net-work stations in Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi,
and, so far, only one in Arkansas, one in Alabama---none as yet in
Oklahoma, altho Oklahoma's super-power 50,000-watt station KRMG in
Tulsa will begin broadcasting the program, I have been notified, in
two or three weeks. Last Sunday the powerful KCMO, Kansas City,
began airing the program at 11:30 A.M. Sundays, and WIL, St. Louis,
at 9:30 A.M.
All told, we ordered about 115 stations. But only about
76 stations accepted the program the first two weeks. Since then
more and more have been accepting it, until now more than 90
stations are broadcasting our program. We still do not have enough
stations in Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan, but as time goes along
stations will be added in this territory. So, with the addition of
this great net-work, WE ARE REACHING THREE TIME AS MANY PEOPLE AS
BEFORE---now for the first time, actually covering, with GOOD
listener reception, nearly every section of the United States.
Naturally, very few of these new listeners to the net-
work have become co-workers as yet---but already a few are
beginning to join our loyal co-worker family. But week by week the
requests for literature and The PLAIN TRUTH magazine are
increasing. And from 20 years' experience we know that in three to
six months these NEW LISTENERS will be sending in enough money
voluntarily to pay for half or more of the COST of this great net-
work---and inside a year, there will be enough NEW co-workers with
us to pay for all of it.
OUR PROBLEM, right now, is to HOLD ON to this net-work
broadcast UNTIL these new co-workers have joined us! Then they
will help us make it possible to carry the Gospel JESUS PREACHED to
ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD! GOD OPENED THE DOOR of this great net-
work. I have been DESPERATELY hanging on. I have to tell you,
dear Co-Workers, it has been a struggle. It has taken FAITH! I
have had to fight off temptation to weaken and quit. I NEED YOUR
ENCOURAGEMENT AND YOUR EARNEST PREVAILING PRAYERS! There have been
moments when it seemed we just couldn't go on another week. So far
we are just barely squeezing through---but it is such a TIGHT
SQUEEZE that it is almost more than I can carry. If ever I needed
your support, your prayers, your encouragement and your financial
help, it is NOW!
We just have to keep enough money coming in EVERY WEEK---
especially the last two weeks of every month which are so hard to
