Dear Brethren in Christ:
This is final and last-minute instruction about coming to
the great Passover Festival and days of unleavened bread, at our
Tabernacle near Gladewater, Texas.
Of course those living near Pasadena will meet here at
the college for the Passover and holyday meetings; those near
Portland or Eugene, Oregon, or Tacoma, Washington, will meet with
the brethren at those points. All others should try to come to the
big Tabernacle in Texas.
God willing, Mrs. Armstrong and I are planning to be at
the Tabernacle for the entire eight days---including the 7 days of
the Festival of Unleavened Bread following the Passover. Our son
Garner Ted, and wife and baby, plan to go with us, and we shall
also have Eld. Marion McNair, who is pastor of the church and
principal of the school in the Tabernacle.
The Passover this year is Friday night, April 16, after
sunset, at 7:30. It is the most solemn occasion of the year.
Unless prevented by serious illness, or otherwise absolutely
prevented, God COMMANDS our presence without fail. It is
obligatory. God will not accept excuses. The second tithe is for
this purpose. If prevented from coming, write for directions for
taking Passover at home.
The following evening, after sunset Saturday, April 17th,
is THE FEAST which begins the seven-day festival of Unleavened
bread. This feast will be held at the Tabernacle. The following
day, Sunday April 18th, continues the first annual high Sabbath of
God, and there will be services in the Tabernacle morning and
afternoon. While it is not made obligatory by God that everyone
remain thru the entire 8 days, we urge all who possibly can to plan
to do so. There will be services held twice each day for the
entire 8 days, including the second annual Sabbath which falls this
year on the weekly Sabbath. There will be preaching, question-and-
answer periods, and wonderful fellowship.
MEALS will be served, as usual, at cost, at the
Tabernacle. But you will have to obtain your own motel or hotel
accommodations, as heretofore. We hope that next year, during
1955, we can proceed with the erection of the housing project of
sleeping booths on the grounds, but we shall not be able to do any
