to cover you expenses at Passover, Pentecost, and next year's Feast
of Tabernacles! Be a DOER of the Word, not a hearer only! Have
courage to DO IT, and then see how surely and abundantly God will
bless you! The time to start that second tithe is NOW. If you
don't do it now, you won't later, and you'll lose the blessing, may
be unable to come next year, and have heard now light in vain. If
it was not made completely clear to you, write and tell me so, and
why, and let us study further until it is clear---but don't just
neglect it. NOW is the time to start---this very DAY---this very
WEEK---with the very next dime, or dollar you receive.
There were more than enough red stamps to cover the
meat and butter and if those who sent stamps would write us, we
will divide them equally among you.
We have already engaged Belknap Springs for next year.
I think we will plan the schedule a little differently next year,
making it more interesting, and so all will get more out of it. We
will profit from lessons learned this year. I'm sure we shall have
a more interesting program---reducing the amount of time spent
indoors sitting in services, allowing more time for being out-doors
and praying like Jesus did, on the mountain-side, and perhaps
holding some services outdoors. We will try to arrange for all to
take the trip to Crater Lake. We will plan farther ahead for a
better, more interesting program for children and young people.
This is just a first beginning of this type Feast of Tabernacles
this year. Let us profit from it. So, remember, PRAY more, study
your BIBLE more, keep closer to God, trust Him not only more but
FULLY in ALL things, and start laying aside that second tithe, now.
God bless you, and make the wonderful festival just closed the REAL
BEGINNING of a changed, far more spiritual, joyful Christian life!
Sincerely, in Jesus' name,
HERBERT W. ARMSTRONG
