Dear Brethren of GOD'S CHURCH:
GREETINGS, in Jesus' name! This is both a reminder and
a report. Here we are already well into another calendar year.
The annual Ministers' Conference has been in session here
at World Headquarters for almost a week, and in another two or
three days God's ministers will he returning to their posts around
the world. There are two ministers here from England and two from
Australia, beside pastors of Churches from New York, Pittsburgh,
Chicago, Milwaukee, South Bend, St. Louis, Kansas City, Gladewater,
Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Memphis, Little Rock, Wichita,
Springfield, Missouri, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Denver, Seattle,
Tacoma, Portland, Eugene, Sacramento and Oakland, Fresno--just to
mention many principal cities.
Plans are being laid for the establishment of more
churches--perhaps a few more this year, and many more in the years
immediately ahead.
Every phase of God's Work is growing rapidly--maintaining
the 30% a year increase. But time is fast running out! We have
only about another ten years, in all probability, to FINISH the
gigantic world-wide task God has called us as His instruments to
accomplish. Then will come quickly the Great Tribulation, the Day
of the Lord, and the appearance of the living HEAD of our Church,
JESUS CHRIST!
Our men from England report that plans are now ready to
proceed immediately, full speed ahead, with the new dining hall and
dormitory for the college at Bricket Wood. Unless these are
completed by this coming September, we cannot admit a single
additional student in England this next school year! Plans are
being rushed on the new dining hall for the Pasadena campus. Mr.
Roy Hammer, who is here, is very seriously concerned about the
Tabernacle at Gladewater. We are now going to be forced to build
on a good sized addition to the big Tabernacle there, or an entire
THIRD of our whole membership will have to stay home from the Feast
of Tabernacles!
Brethren, unless some of these VITAL physical facilities
can expand with us, GOD'S CHURCH CANNOT CONTINUE TO GROW--and GOD'S
WORD cannot be done. If WE fail, God will spue us out of His mouth
