Dear Brethren:
GREETINGS in the name of Jesus Christ our Saviour and the
Living HEAD of this Church!
I have most important news for you. Christ has moved and
has opened up a wonderful "door" of opportunity to save His Church
a few MILLIONS of dollars! This opportunity involves our utilizing
a completely made-to-order resort facility for the Feast of
Tabernacles right here on the West Coast.
This will be in addition to the continued use of our own
large Tabernacle near Gladewater, Texas!
Let me explain.
Years ago, God led Mrs. Armstrong and me to see that the
command to observe God's Annual Sabbaths, or Holy Days, was just as
binding as the weekly Sabbath commandment. For the first few
years---especially since I was the only fully ordained minister in
the Church---it seemed that the Holy Days should only be observed
in one location. We felt this particularly in regard to the Feast
of
Tabernacles. But as God's Church expanded world-wide, it became
evident from circumstances and from examples in God's Word that the
Feast must be observed in more than one location.
As we explained in the December, 1957, GOOD NEWS, God's
ministers found in the Bible definite evidence that the Annual
Feasts---including the Feast of Tabernacles---were observed in at
least four or five major areas by the inspired Church of God under
the direction of the original apostles.
Realizing this, and God showing us what needed to be done
by circumstances as well, this "Philadelphia" age of God's Church
now observes the Feast of Tabernacles in London, England; Sydney,
Australia; Gladewater, Texas; in addition to minor observances in
the Philippines, the British West Indies, and Northern Rhodesia,
Africa.
But NOW, God has shown us by circumstances that we should
observe the Feast of Tabernacles in an additional location here in
the United States!
