LISTEN, dear Co-Workers! The TOBACCO industry doesn't have
to shut off production a whole month, or hold up shipments of their
cigarettes because of lack of postage! The BEER breweries are able
to build great, vast, shiny new breweries all over the U.S.A.---
they don't have to hold up shipments because THEIR supporters with-
hold money from BOOZE! OH, NO! The WORLD doesn't have these
troubles!
The president of a winery or a cosmetics concern doesn't
have to carry these financial burdens I do while they try to carry
on their executive jobs! They don't have to send out desperate
emergency pleas for THEIR patrons to drink more beer, smoke more
cigarettes, or women to use more lip-stick before their factories
fold up!
TELL ME, dear Co-Workers, WHY should the very WORK OF GOD
ALMIGHTY, thru His human instruments, have these troubles? I'll
tell you why! Because TOO MANY OF US are not one tenth as zealous
about saving lives for eternity---about GOD'S TRUTH---as they are
about their lip-stick, tobacco,and beer! And I wonder HOW MANY OF
YOU, have been zealous to keep on hand enough lip-stick,
cigarettes, or beer, while you thought you couldn't spare EVEN A
DOLLAR for the ONLY really important work on earth---THE WORK OF
GOD? The WORLD is more concerned about tobacco, lip-stick and
booze than many of YOU CO-WORKERS are about real prevailing, heart-
rending, persevering PRAYER that God will MOVE careless and
neglectful Co-Workers to action!
WHAT A SHAME! Co-Workers, I can't carry my load much
further, unless you'll get into DEADLY SERIOUS EARNEST about this!
If you don't have a thousand dollars to send, YOU COULD PRAY HARD
ENOUGH, AND BELIEVING ENOUGH, that God would lay it so HEAVILY on
the heart of one who CAN, to do so! You could be the means of that
thousand dollar amount coming in. Another of you could be the
means of causing another thousand, and so on until WE SHOULD HAVE
MORE THAN ENOUGH, just as the tobacco, cosmetics and liquor
interests have. But I doubt whether God will hear you UNLESS you
are willing to do your UTMOST---whether that be only one or two
dollars, a hundred or two, or whatever! God does not expect you to
put into His work what you don't HAVE---but YOU CAN PRAY MORE
EARNESTLY---and GET UNDER THIS BURDEN WITH ME! Remember, every
dollar counts. Don't think for a minute a small amount won't help.
PRAY FOR A CLOUDBURST OF WIDOWS' mites! PRAY that those who can
will send in LARGE contributions---it's all deductible on income-
tax, up to 20%, and the Internal Revenue Bureau officially
recognizes us. And, not only do we need an IMMEDIATE response to
this letter---WE NEED TO HAVE IT KEEP UP, WHEN WE GET INTO THE
MIDDLE AND LATTER PART OF THE MONTH, when money usually drops way
off! THAT'S when you need to PRAY THE HARDEST---KEEP IT UP!
There's NO need for this great undertaking to fail---IF
YOU'LL STIR YOURSELVES AND GET UNDER THIS BURDEN WITH ME! But we
shall have to keep it up UNTIL TV produces its harvest!
With deepest love and gratitude, in Jesus' name,
