a Magazine of UNDERSTANDING
June 7, 1966
Dear Co-Worker with Christ
I am sending you, separately by regular mail, the semi-annual
letter being mailed at this time to the entire mailing list of The
PLAIN TRUTH.
It offers them--and YOU, too, of course--Volume V of the Bible
Story and, in addition, a newly reprinted copy of Volume I. I'm
sure you will want your free copies of these two book.
I'm sure you realize that 90 out of every hundred of these
PLAIN TRUTH readers are NOT Co-Workers--have never contributed
money for the support of this great world-wide Work of God--AND
HAVE NEVER BEEN ASKED FOR CONTRIBUTIONS. Actually since on the
average about three people do read every copy of The PLAIN TRUTH,
that means that about 97 out of every hundred readers of this
magazine have never sent us any money--and NOT EVEN THEIR OWN
SUBSCRIPTION PRICE--nor have we ever asked them for any.
We simply do not follow the methods and ways of the churches
and religious activities of this world. One of the most
astonishing, hard-to-believe facts is that people and churches
which profess to be Christian today do not follow either the
customs and WAYS of Jesus, or, in most respects, His teachings!
Incredible though it seems, they follow teachings and customs which
Jesus condemned, and they condemn the customs and major teachings
which He followed and taught. Jesus' way--the apostles' way--the
BIBLE way is NOT to solicit the public for contributions. We must
never beg the public for money, even though the religious
broadcasters of this world today do.
GOD'S WAY is for HIS people to tithe their incomes, and give
beside offerings as generously as their means allow. Every one of
God's own children according to his financial ability. As you
know, Moses sent out proclamations asking God's own nation Israel
for contributions. The Apostle Paul sent out letters to God's own
people asking liberal contributions. He taught tithing--and so did
Jesus.
The Living Christ has DRAFTED you and me to be His Co-Workers
in finishing GOD'S WORK--getting out the very Gospel Jesus
proclaimed to all the world, as a witness--PREPARING THE WAY for
the coming of Christ in POWER and GLORY to rule all nations and to
