Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
We now have to REALIZE IT! These are the most trying and
crucial days for this great closing WORK OF GOD since it began!
Right now I am filled with gratitude and encouragement.
THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart! Last month I had to write
you that our business office was unable to pay salaries and wages
for the week. Many of you responded, even at great sacrifice to
yourselves.
I want you to realize how important your INTEREST, your
earnest prayers, your dedication to this monumental task has been--
and especially these past two or three weeks. The situation was
very serious, and indeed STILL IS. Many of you took it seriously.
Many, here, fasted and prayed. At the college in England the
entire student body fasted and prayed. From the bottom of my heart
I THANK YOU!
But LISTEN, dear Co-Workers! Gratifying and encouraging
as this fine burst of response has been, it already is dropping
off--and it was not enough to catch up! If there is a slacking off
now, the work will be in worse financial shape than ever in just a
week or two.
WE MUST UNDERSTAND THIS! Usually a fine response such as
this is followed by a dangerous let-down in tithes and offerings.
Many who make a special effort in an emergency, sending in larger
than usual offerings, seem to think that is sufficient to last.
Then over a period of a month or six weeks God's Work comes out
with less money than normal.
What would happen in a war if an army, by a sudden burst
of effort, surged forward to win a single battle, then laid down
their arms and decided to take it easy or go on furlough? They
would win a single battle and then LOSE THE WAR!
Well WE are in a WAR--on the firing line with CHRIST as
our General--firing spiritual bombs of GOD'S TRUTH--the Message of
Christ's own GOSPEL--to make this whole world CONSCIOUS of the GOOD
NEWS of Christ's soon coming and His KINGDOM, to rule the happy,
peaceful WORLD TOMORROW! There can be no letting down--no slacking
--no quitting in this war! Christ said it is only he who endures
