organizations of MEN. Do you realize that, today, by actual
survey, only one in a hundred of the future ministers preparing in
the theological seminaries even believes Christ is going to return
to earth? THEY DON'T BELIEVE THE BIBLE! The clergy of our day is
fast turning farther and farther from belief in God, in the Bible,
and in the TRUTH!
Do you realize the PRICE Mrs. Armstrong and I had to pay,
to be FREE--unshackled--so I can proclaim CHRIST'S Message straight
from the shoulder? We were without money, car, home. But Jesus
Christ BUILT HIS WORK for these last days gradually--always
growing, always multiplying in power--until today it is THUNDERING
His true Message around the world! NO ONE ELSE proclaims this
whole TRUE Gospel!
Oh yes, of course, now and then, one of the controlled
clergy of this world raises a small voice in persecution and
opposition attempting to discredit the very WORK OF GOD. Yet the
dynamic, all-powerful living CHRIST carries His great work right
along in ever-increasing multiplying POWER! He says no MAN can
stop it! They have tried! None ever could! None will!
But, people will listen to this Message OVER RADIO! They
will read it in Reader's Digest, other magazines, in The Plain
Truth, and our other literature--in the privacy of their own homes
--yes, millions who would never listen to the TRUTH in their own
churches! Strange, but TRUE!
And right now, HERE WE ARE, again, into the CHRISTMAS
SHOPPING SEASON. Every year at this time many Co-Workers FORGET
their gifts for CHRIST and His work, and spend all they have
TRADING gifts back and forth with friends and relatives! Have YOU
read the plain TRUTH about Christmas? Get our free booklet by that
title! It is documented--factual--you can check up and verify
every astonishing FACT at any public library! Read in this booklet
how this day is not Christ's birthday--how the wise men did NOT
trade presents among themselves--they gave their gifts to CHRIST!
Right now, when we face the most trying time of the year,
I have to call on YOU--and ALL our Co-Workers to SEND YOUR LIBERAL
GIFTS FOR THE WORK OF CHRIST--and try to make it doubly or triply
GENEROUS, according, of course, as God has prospered and made you
able.
The work is not yet out of this tight financial bind.
The NEED, right now, is GREAT, and URGENT! Even though a good
portion of those who have LOANED money to the work have not had to
call for repayment, and many have been able to later donate it,
still several others have needed what they had loaned, and this
year we have had to repay many thousands of dollars on such loans.
So that this does not have to stop or cut down the GOSPEL WORK, I
have to still ask all who have larger sums you feel you cannot GIVE
outright, at this time, to send in such sums as a loan. If you can
GIVE a larger sum of one or several thousand dollars, it was never
more seriously needed.
Even the widows' mites, from the many who do not have
