Dear Co-Heir with Christ:
This letter must be brief, and to the point.
I had hoped that I would be able to announce, in this
letter, the BIGGEST, most IMPORTANT, most SENSATIONAL leap forward
in this Work of God, since it started in 1934!
That' s why this letter is two or three days late. But I
can't delay longer. And now I must make it short so it may be
typed and mailed yet today if possible! I feel sure this very
SENSATIONAL announcement will be ready before the next letter.
In fact, I anticipate a DOUBLE-EVENT announcement--meaning
tremendous progress for the most important activity on earth today.
Meantime, dear Co-Workers, I have been under the heaviest
cloud for years. My dear wife has been stricken with a serious
intestinal condition. For three weeks she has been confined to
bed. Everything possible was done, including, of course, anointing
her and asking God to heal her. At first we thought it was an
attack of appendicitis--and, under fasting, such an attack will
resolve itself naturally within about seven to ten days. But that
time passed, and the pain was not in the appendix. In such a
condition there are, of course, certain things we humans can and
ought to do--even though we rely on GOD for the healing. I assure
you, that under the best professional advice, everything we could
or ought to do was done.
I would like to explain, for your own understanding, that
GOD does for us what we cannot, and ought not, try to do for
ourselves. Healing of sickness or disease is something no doctor
nor medicine can do. That is why God has PROMISED to heal us. In
my ministerial experience over 40 years, literally thousands have
been healed--of almost every disease or sickness, including cancer
and leukemia--by my prayers, and those of God's ministers in this
Work associated with me. Some things we CANNOT do, and ought leave
solely to God. Some He does through us, with certain things we can
and should do. Other things we do by ourselves.
But we came to the place where, under best "medical" advice
of a doctor who is one of our converts (no longer in active medical
practice, but in God's service), the time had come to stand still,
