Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
This letter is going to have to be BRIEF--because it is
extremely URGENT!
Again this month we are falling below quota in the business
office. The situation has become SERIOUS! Ever since the living
Jesus Christ started this last END-TIME activity of GOD'S WORK
through us, it has been a FAST-GROWING rapidly EXPANDING work. The
first nine years it multiplied THIRTY TIMES in size, scope and
power. The second nine years it grew in size THIRTY TIMES what
it was after the first nine years. The past twelve years it has
continued to grow 30% each year over the year before.
We are now in the THIRTIETH YEAR of this great end-time WORK
OF GOD. World events are speeding up--moving faster and faster
toward the final CLIMAX--the WORLD-CRISIS at the CLOSE of this
age--the prophesied END OF THE WORLD, and dawn of the happy WORLD
TOMORROW!
There is not much time left. Our work is far from finished.
In fact, the BIGGEST part of the work remains yet to be done. As
world conditions speed up, SO MUST THE WORK OF GOD!
A fast-expanding work MUST HAVE A GROWING INCOME. This work
cannot operate unless our business office can PAY THE BILLS. The
work is still growing at the 30% increase rate. But last month the
income dropped down to a 17% increase. A report has been handed me
today showing that this month to date is running only 20% above
February last year--but OPERATING EXPENSES CONTINUE 30% above.
I am forced to take immediate drastic steps. WE DARE NOT slow
down or put the brakes on the WORK OF GOD! But I have been forced,
since my last letter to you, to POSTPONE opening of the new college
in Texas for one year.
I have put efficiency men--experienced business men within the
organization here at World Headquarters--to the emergency task of
making a thorough check-up of every department, in a sweeping and
drastic program to eliminate every waste effort or unnecessary
expense they can possibly find. We are TIGHTENING OUR BELTS, so to
speak.
