Have you read the plain TRUTH about Christmas? The TRUTH
is, that it is a pagan custom. It never came from God, from the
Bible, from the Apostles. It DOES NOT celebrate Christ's birthday.
He was not born December 25th, nor even in the winter. NO ONE
KNOWS when He was born--but there is evidence it was probably in
September. In the BIBLE, only pagans celebrate birthdays. CHRIST
IS NOT IN IT! The Bible CONDEMNS the Christmas tree! These are
hard, cold FACTS--but they are FACTS! Get our free booklets about
Christmas. You can check the TRUTH in any public library!
MUST GOD'S WORK SUFFER, at this season when people think
they are imbued with a spirit of GENEROSITY? Should not the
GENEROUS GIFTS go to the CHRIST people think they are honoring?
LISTEN! Our carefully compiled records show that the
tithes and offerings put into this work by EACH INDIVIDUAL
CO-WORKER, on the average, is getting CHRIST'S LAST WARNING MESSAGE
out IN POWER, TO TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE! Let's INCREASE it right now!
And let's put MORE earnest, intensive, believing PRAYER back of it,
that this Work may leap ahead as never before! God is blessing
every one who is faithful and loyal in HIS WORK!
Thank you, dear Co-Workers. This will probably be my
last letter to you for this year--and I do THANK YOU from the
bottom of my heart for your faithfulness and generosity through
this year. God has BLESSED His Work as never before. THANK YOU!
...AND REMEMBER, the mails are clogged and slowed down--
AIR MAIL speeds it along! This is so urgent, I am sending it AIR
MAIL.
With love in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
