But until now, TREMENDOUS sums, from the second tithe of all
of us, have been spent with the world---irretrievable to God's
Church. Motel, hotel owners---restaurant owners, have been
enriched while we continue to wonder HOW CAN WE PROVIDE A PLACE FOR
GOD'S PEOPLE TO ENJOY THE FEAST?
But God has shown us how! He has opened the way to provide
really CHEAP housing in the form of tents and camping equipment. He
has shown us how to save additional thousands by many more of us
cooking our own food, or eating our meals in the dining facilities
at the various Feast locations!
By making these savings, and by simply cutting down a little
on our Feast expenditures, we CAN save multiple THOUSANDS of
dollars---RESCUING this money from the world, and putting it to
work building permanent buildings for the Festivals!
Just as each of us is enabled to buy our own FAMILY-sized
"booth" or "tabernacle" from the second tithe, God is showing us
how to purchase HUGE tabernacles for the WHOLE family of His
people---and do it from SECOND TITHE! This means we can build
BIG tabernacles, for thousands of us, but with ABSOLUTELY NO
FINANCIAL DRAIN ON THE WORLD-WIDE WORK OF PREACHING THE GOSPEL!
Think of it, brethren! By more and more of us purchasing
tents and camping equipment, cooking our own meals in our tents,
and finding other ways to SAVE a little of our second tithe, we can
all put TEN PER CENT of our SECOND TITHE (which CANNOT BE SPENT FOR
ANY OTHER PURPOSE BUT THE ANNUAL FEASTS) into building BIG "booths"
for ALL of us! This money MAY be spent for this purpose. It
CANNOT be spent for broadcasting, college expenses, printing, or
any operating expense! Our second tithe MUST BE SPENT ON THESE
FESTIVALS!
Remember, however, this money will NOT be coming ONLY from
those who purchase TENTS! ONLY A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE will be able
to live in tents.
But by watching our expenses a little more closely, by being
CAREFUL, and yet not going to the extreme of cutting out real
necessities, we CAN rescue many thousands of dollars from the
world---and save it for the PERMANENT enjoyment of ALL of God's
people! This TEN PER CENT of second tithe will not be coming ONLY
from those who buy tents, and are thus able to save on housing
costs, but from ALL of us, brethren, whose hearts are WILLING, and
who REJOICE that God has opened a way to PERMANENTLY solve this
GIGANTIC problem or growth!
Mr. Portune, our Business Manager, has carefully figured. The
second tithe of all our members last autumn, amounted to two and a
half million dollars. It should be over three million by this
coming Festival. Ten per cent OF that 10% should put into this
special TABERNACLE FUND more than $300,000 by February NEXT year,
and should pay for the $500,000 tabernacle by the following
September.
