The past two months I have written you of how God is using us
as His instruments in CHANGING THE WORLD. He is going to usher in
a completely NEW world--the glorious WORLD TOMORROW! Man has
failed! Man could never solve his problems--man only creates
problems. God is using us as His instruments--with His advance-
Message of the happy and peaceful WORLD TOMORROW. Thus He is
giving YOU a PART in SAVING THE WORLD. Not only in saving it
alive--preventing total annihilation--but also in preparing for
Christ's coming to USHER IN A NEW AND HAPPIER WORLD!
This Work is GOD'S Work. It started small--but it is GROWING
as no other activity that I know. Since that letter at the
beginning of this decade, in 1960, this Work has DOUBLED in size
and scope and power, and then DOUBLED that, and now is on the way
to REDOUBLING AGAIN!
Now some FORTY MILLION PEOPLE hear The WORLD TOMORROW every
week. Now, in all probability, between two and three million
people read The PLAIN TRUTH every issue--and what a greatly
improved magazine it is! The circulation, the coming issue, is
800,000 copies--rapidly approaching a MILLION COPIES! It now has
become one of the MAJOR magazines of the earth--and its circulation
is world wide!
I do thank God for giving you your part in CHANGING THE
WORLD!--Even as I thank Him for giving me my part! It is a
glorious privilege! I know of no place where every single dollar
ACCOMPLISHES SO MUCH. But it does take money, of course, as every
activity does. I'm sure you realize that, of the forty or more
MILLION people who LISTEN to The WORLD TOMORROW--of the two or
three million who READ The PLAIN TRUTH--not one in several hundred
has ever contributed a penny to this Work--not one in several
hundred has ever been asked for a contribution! You know there is
no work like it. You know we NEVER solicit the public for
financial help. We charge for NOTHING. There is no price on any
of the literature we offer FREE. It's incredible. Hostile
persecutors try to make people believe we do solicit the public.
Once in a while they will get hold of one of these Co-Worker
letters, written personally just to our inner family of
Co-Workers--all of whom have VOLUNTARILY, without solicitation
become Co-Workers. Then they print a portion of such a letter to
make people who don't know believe that we do beg the public for
money. They are misrepresenting, and of course they KNOW they
are--and it is THEY, not this Work of GOD--who are soliciting the
public for contributions, and putting a PRICE on their literature.
I hope you have noticed, however, that we do not strike back--we do
not try to discredit or "expose" ANYBODY. We are too busy
proclaiming CHRIST'S Gospel! And that is ONE of the reasons God
does so abundantly BLESS this Work.
YOU have voluntarily become a Co-Worker with the living Christ
in His Work. I do follow the Biblical example and pattern, as did
Moses, and in the New Testament, the Apostle Paul, in encouraging
God's own people to support God's Work, according as God has blest
and made possible.
The need is continually heavy. But every single dollar does
