Dear Friend:
This semi-annual personal letter from me comes almost a
month late--and I want to tell you why.
As most of you know, twice each year I try personally to
write a special letter to all of you who are subscribers to The
PLAIN TRUTH. Each time I try to have something special to offer
you--as a free gift, of course--but something I feel you would
really value.
I realize that scores of thousands of you are absolutely
astonished that there is never any price on anything we offer you--
that there is never any request, directly or indirectly, for
contributions on The WORLD TOMORROW program.
Some simply can't believe it--but of course it's true!
Continually hundreds keep asking, "How can you do it?" Several
times, in these semi-annual letters, I have given our readers the
straightforward answer. I have explained how the Eternal God
definitely called me, and our Co-Workers, to be His instruments in
God's own Work--and how Christ's Gospel must not be sold. We are
merely the instruments God is using.
It is GOD who is doing His Work--and GOD does not beg the
public for contributions, nor sell people His TRUTH or His
salvation! Hundreds who have sent money to pay for literature or
The PLAIN TRUTH subscription have had their money returned to them.
I have explained before how God has His own way, revealed in the
Bible (His tithe and offering system), for financing His Work--and
how we are used in God's Work doing it HIS WAY!
Of course there's nothing else like it on earth! Christ
is not divided. He doesn't have many conflicting and contradicting
Works going.
For six weeks I have been striving to get prepared for
you something many thousands of you have urgently requested--
something never before written or published--the long-awaited
forthcoming book revealing the plain truths of sex and marriage.
That's what I hoped to offer you with this letter. Out of the
