What does this new WORLD CRISIS mean? It means God's work
MUST speed up, even as hell-bent Science and Technology are
SPEEDING UP toward world-destruction. It means that this great
work of God must SPEND MORE MONEY THAN BEFORE! IT MEANS the
expenses of this work are speeding up---and so must the income!!!
A great world scientist, head of one of the two greatest
institutions of technology in the United States, says this plunging
suddenly into the SPACE AGE means an intellectual and scientific
PEARL HARBOR!! He says it means THE WHOLE WORLD IS JOLTED INTO
ACTION!!---Yes, action toward the DESTRUCTION of all life upon
earth!!! He calls for mobilization of minds for "scientific
purpose"---which means DESTRUCTIVE PURPOSE!!!
Co-Workers, I come to you now in more solemnity and URGENCY
than ever before. The time for complacency is PAST!! The time for
thinking of pleasures, the things we can buy to enjoy, the things
we'd like to do that take money, IS PAST, if we're AWAKE to the
FACTS and URGENCY of the hour!
The WORLD is being JOLTED into ACTION to hasten the
DESTRUCTION of your home---your family---your town or city---YOUR
NATION---THIS ENTIRE WORLD!!! WHAT DOES THIS TURN IN HISTORY MEAN
TO YOU? DOES IT JOLT YOU INTO ACTION ON THE FIRING LINE FOR GOD---
FOR CHRIST AND HIS GOSPEL---FOR FINISHING THE ALL-IMPORTANT WORK
OF GOD, THAT CHRIST MAY COME AND SAVE THIS WORLD FROM ITSELF, AND
BRING IT PEACE?
God's work needs increased offerings as well as honest tithes
from all, according as God has made you able! That means one or
several thousand dollars from some---widows' mites from others less
able---but the work direly needs INCREASED offerings, and MORE
OFTEN, if God has made that possible. And now, as NEVER BEFORE,
dear Co-Workers, GET ON YOUR KNEES AND PRAY---PRAY FOR THIS WORK
AND ME!!
With love, in Jesus Christ's service,
Herbert W. Armstrong
