are only a FEW such powerful stations. I NEED YOUR HELP AND YOUR
PRAYERS! And God's guidance!
Meantime, I am finishing up the copy for the coming PLAIN
TRUTH, ready to hand to the printers in the next two or three days.
The printers have today ordered the paper for this next number,---
a TON AND A HALF of paper---three thousands pounds of paper---think
of it! That is a lot of paper. And we may thank God we were able
to get it in this time of paper shortage. All the larger magazines
and newspapers are rationed to 10% less paper than they used
before. I feel God Himself has watched over the interests of His
work, so that we are able to buy, so far, constantly INCREASING
amounts of paper as His work expands and grows. We are printing
33,000 copies this issue. It will be LARGER---12 pages this time.
I hope to make it the best and most interesting PLAIN TRUTH yet.
This issue of The PLAIN TRUTH will cost over a thousand dollars,
just for printing and postage alone.
So again we are in URGENT and IMMEDIATE NEED. In
addition to our weekly needs now running into several hundred
dollars per week, we must have, almost immediately, an additional
$2,000 to complete The PLAIN TRUTH, and put this serious crisis
behind us. I feel that somewhere among our growing family of
Co-workers is someone who can, if willing, supply that entire extra
sum so that all the regular offerings may go for the week-to-week
regular expenses. And perhaps if that person, whoever he or she
may be, realizes THE TIME we are living in---how short is our time
for finishing the great work God has called us to do---how soon it
will be when there shall be a FAMINE of even HEARING the Word of
God---HOW NEAR IS THE COMING OF CHRIST---that there would be no
hesitation. I could easily use one million dollars in the next
year in proclaiming God's last warning MESSAGE by radio and by
newspaper, magazine, and otherwise.
But whether YOU can send $2,000 or more, or only a dollar
or less, God knows your ability and will reward you accordingly.
We should each do our very utmost whatever that may be---even at
great sacrifice. And I know you will. Please pray for me and
this work, and continue to stand loyally with me in God's work to
the utmost of your ability.
God bless you!
With Christian Love, Herbert W. Armstrong
