It was surely wonderful to arrive back in Pasadena and
see our own giant new magazine presses rolling at top speed,
finishing up the printing of the September PLAIN TRUTH. Our
business office says we have saved some $12,000 per issue on these
first two numbers printed on our own presses! That is a tremendous
saving!
The new college year is starting this week, with the
largest incoming new first-year class in our history--and fine-
looking young people they are, too!
But Mr. Portune, our business manager, tells me that the
extra-SPECIAL offerings for the new BUILDING FUND have dropped down
to about HALF. Dear Co-Workers, remember--as I've said before--we
have OUTGROWN our facilities for students, and for the operation of
this great Work. The Work cannot GROW unless these new buildings
and facilities are provided! These facilities are ABSOLUTELY
NECESSARY for the expansion and conduct of God's Work! Remember,
these SPECIAL offerings are to be IN ADDITION TO, and OVER AND
ABOVE your regular tithes and offerings for the OPERATING EXPENSES
of The Work. THIS SITUATION HAS BECOME SERIOUS!
I must make this brief--for it is URGENT that I get it in
the mail AT ONCE! God is surely doing HIS part! Hundreds of new
converts have been baptized this summer--over all parts of the
United States, Canada, Germany, France, other countries in Europe,
Britain, Australia and New Zealand, South Africa--and even the West
Indies. Our representatives have been contacting people personally
--who had REQUESTED baptism--ALL OVER THE WORLD! The BIGGEST
HARVEST EVER has been reaped!
CHRIST is more than doing HIS part--and BLESSING His Work
more than ever before! WE MUST rouse ourselves to greater
sacrifice and effort, as HIS CO-WORKERS, to do our part. We have
begun to lag. LET US LEAP to the cause, and try to make an EXTRA
contribution.
The GENERAL Semi-Annual letter--to ALL PLAIN TRUTH
subscribers--will offer you your free copy of this very important
new book on sex and marriage. BUT WAIT FOR THE LETTER--and order
yours on the special card form that will then be enclosed. Do not
order that book now--for we cannot send it to any but married
people, or single people over 21--for reasons that will be
explained in this letter--and if you request it now, you will have
to do it again, on this special order-card. I just wanted you to
know that this great task is finished at last--the book is being
readied for our presses. It will be the largest, most important
book we have ever published.
But please DO answer AT ONCE--by RETURN MAIL--with the
largest regular offering in addition to your tithes--that is
possible, besides (especially if you did send in a statement of
intention early this year) if possible, as large an extra SPECIAL,
ADDITIONAL offering, designated specially for the property BUILDING
FUND.
