world. As Jesus Christ said it would be, the harvest is plenteous,
but the laborers are too few. Dear Co-Workers, I have to ask you
to PRAY, earnestly, that every need will be supplied. While we are
succeeding in getting the Work into sounder financial position, the
NEED is ever greater and greater. Such a growing, expanding,
dynamic and successful Work simply does require constantly larger
expenditures--or else stop growing, and go backward. This must
never happen!
Again I want to THANK YOU for your sacrifice and
generosity in carrying YOUR PART, as one of God's instruments in
HIS WORK. Two or three of our professors (or lecturers, as they
are called in England) in our college here were saying just today,
what a great PRIVILEGE it is that we are allowed to be A PART of
the very Work of GOD, directed by the living Jesus Christ, our High
Priest at God's right hand in heaven! We should all be SO VERY
GRATEFUL, from the bottom of our hearts, that CHRIST has called us
to be Co-Workers with HIM, in the WORK OF GOD!
We must now press on with greater zeal than ever! We
must place GOD'S WORK first in our interest--completely above
worldly pursuits, entertainments, personal desires and wants.
Remember, CHRIST will not accept second place in our hearts, lives,
and affections and interest. We all need to PRAY MORE for this
great Work, and be even more diligent in our part.
NEVER have your tithes and offerings been more seriously
NEEDED! NEVER have loans of larger sums you may not be able to
give outright at this time been more vitally important than now.
NEVER have your sincere and believing PRAYERS been so sorely
needed.
I hope to have a nice surprise for you in another month.
With love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
