country never before reached, join us and make our burden lighter.
Here's what's HAPPENED! Thru this year, even with an
economic readjustment going on, with drought and famine conditions
terribly hitting many of our heaviest-contributing co-workers, yet
we have somehow continued to squeeze thru. Still we have been
going slightly behind all the time. WE ARE STILL ON THE NETWORK!
We have not yet cancelled any of the great, important stations.
But it has been the most trying long-drawn-out test we have ever
had to endure---AND IT STILL IS!
Let me give you another reason why this great ABC Network
is so VITAL to us. Before we went on it, we had to depend mostly
on the super-power Mexican stations, XEG, XELO, XERF, and XERB, to
cover the United States. These are tremendously powerful stations.
But they do not effectively reach the great northern half of the
middle-west, and they do not reach the great INDUSTRIAL sections,
of the north-Atlantic, New England, and the north-east-and central
states, at all! And 55% of all the people in the United States
live in these sections WE DID NOT COVER!
Do you see what that means? Our Co-Workers up to now
have been almost entirely in the Southern states, the Pacific
Coast, and the central part of the Middle-West---Kansas, Missouri,
and Southern Illinois. In other words, the FARM BELT. And when
the FARM BELT gets terribly hit by drought---well, nearly all of
our "eggs" have been in that one "basket." But now, by the ABC
Network, we are for the first time reaching the 55% of United
States population in the great industrial regions.
IT TAKES TIME for new listeners to realize that so
startling a Message is really God's TRUTH, and to accept it and
begin to support it as Co-Workers. Not many of you Co-Workers
began supporting this work the first few times you heard the broad-
cast. So it takes GREAT PATIENCE on our part---until these
millions of NEW LISTENERS have heard God's true Message long enough
to have their hearts and minds opened to accept it, and join you as
Co-Workers.
ALREADY hundreds of them are just beginning to be
Co-Workers! But, as it has taken some 20,000 of you Co-Workers
from among 45% of the nation's population to carry the great work
of God this far, a few hundred from among the other 55% of
America's people is only a START. It may take another year or more
before the financial help from these new listeners is felt in a big
way---but I know that by November and December of this year there
will be a noticeable increase, even tho not big---IF WE ALL HOLD
ON, SACRIFICE EVEN A LITTLE MORE---AND DO NOT GIVE UP!
Now I had intended to reprint in this letter many letters
from both new listeners, and also, this time, from several of you
Co-Workers. Oh, what WONDERFUL and inspiring letters I do receive
from many of you whose heart, as well as your pocketbooks, are
really in this work! So many of you have told me how you have been
simply thrilled, and moved, even to tears, at reading those letters
from all over the world, and from new listeners. And now it occurs
to me that you'll really be interested and encouraged to know just
