air, in other languages, as yet. But we can write our messages,
effectively displayed with advertising headlines, and have them
TRANSLATED into all 14 of these languages, and we can reach MANY
MILLIONS of people in most of the nations of the earth, in full-
page, two-color Messages in the foreign-language editions of
Reader's Digest!
Now LISTEN! We can't do this yet. We can't do it until we
can afford it. We can't do it until there's money enough to pay
for it. The cost will be about as much as we now pay for radio
broadcasting. And, when we are ready to start this WORLD-WIDE
campaign in the Reader's Digest, we will start in just one country
at a time---those that are smallest and cost the least, at first.
But IT IS FAR LATER THAN WE THINK! We cannot delay long.
I hope that during this next year we may make the start. And here,
too, WE MUST PRAY---pray fervently, earnestly, persistently,
continually---that God will cause this great magazine to be willing
to accept Christ's Message into their pages. They may object to
taking a religious Message, unless we PRAY. But God can give us
grace and favor in their sight. Co-Workers, WE HAVE REACHED THE
SUPREME CRISIS---THE TURNING POINT---where the great work of God
must now leap forward in multiplied POWER. We must, soon, place
God's dynamic, powerful, gripping Message in advertising space in
FARM PAPERS, on the CHURCH PAGES of the Saturday daily newspapers.
We must find new and effective ways of GETTING OUT GOD'S VITAL
MESSAGE---now into ALL nations!
Let's AROUSE ourselves---let's STIR ourselves as we never
did before! Let's Pray for God's work IN REAL EARNEST, every
single day! Let's RISE to MEET THIS GREAT CHALLENGE---to go THRU
these tremendous doors God is opening---to FINISH the work He has
given us to do!
AT LAST---the BIBLE CORRESPONDENCE COURSE is ready, and the
first lesson mailed out. This is going to HUNDREDS in ENGLAND and
the British Isles, who are studying every month in their homes over
there. GOD'S WORK IS GROWING---growing in POWER, in SCOPE---in
INFLUENCE. It is empowered by the SPIRIT OF GOD. Nothing can stop
it. ONWARD WE GO!
WE have reached the TURNING-POINT! From here, God's work
thru us must take its biggest leap ahead in world-wide power, or it
will go back and die out. But the very work of God CANNOT go back-
ward. God has promised He WILL NOT drop the work He has begun.
And we MUST NOT slacken, but spur ourselves on to greater efforts.
Here we are, late in the Christmas shopping season. So
MANY are forgetting any gift for CHRIST, and spending lavishly to
EXCHANGE presents with relatives and friends. The receipts of
tithes and offerings for God's work is NOT HOLDING UP WHERE IT
SHOULD. It's a DANGEROUS situation. There has been, since my last
letter, a good RAIN of one and two-dollar offerings (the widow gave
TWO mites)---but not the DOWNPOUR we needed. We need a CLOUDBURST!
Many of you have remained loyal with your full honest tithes and
generous offerings---GOD BLESS YOU---but others of you have been
neglectful of CHRIST and His work. Always, at this time of year,
