ONLY giver of all good and perfect gifts---the one who answers the
petitions of HIS obedient children?
It was reported the other day that in New York City 40%
of the entire year's retail sales are in the month between Thanks-
giving and Christmas! THINK OF THAT! Don't you think that folks
who give Christmas presents ought to PUT CHRIST AT THE VERY HEAD OF
THEIR GIFT-LIST---to say the least? Ought not CHRIST'S gift, for
His work, to be the LARGEST OF ALL?
Hundreds have read our booklet on the PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT
CHRISTMAS, and have stopped trading presents back and forth. But
whether you do, or don't---CHRIST and His precious work NEEDS the
BIGGEST GIFT you can give, right now! And it will continue to need
gifts in January---and all next year!
CO-WORKERS! We now face a difficult, DESPERATE period!
IF EVER we needed a cloudburst of widows' mites, it is NOW! If
ever we needed large contributions---even up to a thousand or
several thousand dollars---IT IS NOW! And REMEMBER---it is all
DEDUCTIBLE on your income-tax return---up to 30% of your entire
income! You do not have to pay income-tax on what you put into
GOD'S WORK.
The need right now is GREAT! Right now, GIVE to God's
work as never before! And REMEMBER---that week between Christmas
and New Year's USUALLY DROPS DOWN TO THE LOWEST OF THE YEAR! Keep
tithes and offerings coming that last week---and ALL NEXT MONTH---
and all next year! Send it AIR-MAIL while the mails are slowed
down with Christmas mail! KEEP PRAYING! Thanks, from the bottom
of my heart! GOD BLESS YOU!
Urgently, with love in Jesus' name,
