Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
Last week I sent over for typing and mailing from the
headquarters in Pasadena my "Semi-Annual Letter" for the entire
400,000 subscribers to The PLAIN TRUTH. Either you will already
have received a copy of this letter, or it will be enclosed with
this one.
I hope of course that you will at once order your free
copy of Garner Ted Armstrong's new booklet on child rearing.

has been delayed--has very seriously affected the income of tithes
and offerings for God's Work. As you know, we never make any
request for contributions except to this comparatively small
portion of you who are, of your own volition, active Co-Workers

value, do a lot of good.

casual listeners and new PLAIN TRUTH readers to feel a little
closer to GOD'S TRUTH, and in a more personal way. But I'm sure
you understand that I NEVER make any request for financial support
in those letters.

We follow the BIBLE way. Jesus Christ never solicited the public
of the world for contributions--nor did the apostles--nor did
Israel of old ask any people outside their own Congregation
(church) of Israel for financial help. The Gospel must go FREE to
the world.
HOWEVER, it does take money to conduct God's Work. God
has reserved for Himself--for His Work--the first tenth of the
income of all who are HIS PEOPLE, and liberal offerings, beside--
according as one is able. In ancient Israel, all people were
