wish to state that I have been uplifted in spirit, and greatly
blessed; and am eager to learn more and understand the Plain Truth.
Being only one of so many Christians (poor in worldly goods), but
rich in Christ, I am joyfully awaiting His Second Coming; and spend
much of my time reading Revelation, always in a spirit of
humbleness; but I have never heard the explanation of the seven
seals as you have given it in your message, so I am eager to read
your little book. If ever there was a time when this generation
should pause, in their pursuit of worldly pleasures, it is now, and
read the Word of God, and thereby escape the wrath to come.
Sincerely yours, ..." (This woman is the daughter of a well-known
Greek and Hebrew scholar, author of one of the translations of the
new Testament.)
From Buffalo, N.Y.: "Dear Sir: I think your program, which
I hear on WKBW, Buffalo, is the most inspiring program I have ever
heard. I am only 15, but I like your program because you give the
Scriptures. I can't wait to get my first issue of 'The Plain
Truth:'---that is why I am sending this letter air-mail. I am
going to tell all my friends about your program in the hopes that
they will come to know more about the Lord, as I have, through your
program." Sounds like a future Ambassador College student, doesn't
he? Thank God, even the YOUNG people find God's true Message
interesting, inspiring, and alive!
And that's all we have space for this time! These are just
a few, out of THOUSANDS, living in those congested-population areas
WE NEVER REACHED BEFORE!
Co-Workers! Can't you understand, after reading these
letters, why I simply CAN"T cancel this great network program? It
has greatly increased our expenses. But you can see it is CHANGING
LIVES, converting them into the Kingdom of God---and NEW CO-WORKERS
ARE BEING DEVELOPED! If we can just hold on a few more months,
these new listeners will increase the income of the work enough to
pay all this added expense.
But THIS VERY MONTH is the TURNING POINT!
We started the network, last October, running several
thousand dollars a month BEHIND! Gradually, each month we ran a
little less behind, until in March we almost broke even with
expenses. THIS is the month---April---when we MUST receive several
thousand dollars MORE than expenses, or cancel THE NETWORK! They
won't wait! We have to start paying back that current
indebtedness!
LISTEN CAREFULLY! It is the last half of the month when
LESS money is received! Fewer people send in money the last half
of the month. Amounts are much smaller. We seem to receive very
few of the $35, $50, and $100 checks the last half of the month---
almost NONE of the $1,000, or $3,000 checks.
I know that many of you receive your income the early part of
the month, but HERE IS THE BIG PROBLEM! THE FATE OF GOD'S WORK
RESTS ON THIS: Unless many HUNDREDS of you, who have heretofore
sent little or nothing, will now STIR YOURSELVES, and send in the
