NOW is the time we must "gird up our loins," -- to use a
Bible expression -- to push ourselves on, in this Work, as NEVER
BEFORE! We must SACRIFICE personal wants and desires, as never
before! We must PRAY HARDER -- MORE EARNESTLY -- for God's Work!
NEVER was your financial help as sorely needed! This past month
the receipt of tithes and offerings from Christ's own Co-Workers
(WE NEVER SOLICIT THE PUBLIC FOR CONTRIBUTIONS!!!) has dropped down
from our usual increase.
We must strive harder -- sacrifice more -- AND PRAY HARDER
for the Work -- than ever before. And for those who have funds not
now being used, but which you are unable now to GIVE, the LOAN of
such funds -- to be working where Christ directs -- has never been
so urgently needed!
I must make this letter brief -- AND URGENT!
We are in the days of RAPID SPEED! I shall have to
telephone this letter to my secretary in Pasadena, where she will
type it and see that it gets to you AIRMAIL immediately. THANK YOU
FOR YOUR PRAYERS -- and especially since God took from me my lovely
and beloved wife and HELPER of fifty fruitful years, for your
prayers and expressions of sympathy. But I do have the dynamic,
energized, LIVING HELP of the living CHRIST -- and HIS WORK MUST GO
ON, IN CONSTANTLY MULTIPLIED POWER! AND THANK YOU!
With love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
