take time to read the mail enclosed you will find that many
of those who liked the program would rather have heard it at
about 6:30 p.m. than at the 12:30 p.m. time at which it was
broadcast.
"If you decide to resume broadcast on our station I
suggest that we air the program at 6:30 p.m. each evening."
Sincerely yours,
RADIO STATION KFSB

Now here is the STATE OF THE WORK at the moment:
In my letter of August 8, I gave you a thorough
explanation of this LOAN situation. All year we had been paying
back more than we were receiving in loans. Last year the money
available for use from loans from Co-Workers had mounted to 12% of
total funds received. So in that letter I was forced to once again
ASK FOR EXTRA HELP IN THE FORM OF LOANS -- only, this time, as far
as possible, on a 5-year basis. I explained, however, that if any
emergency came up in the circumstances of any Co-Worker who had
loaned the Work on that basis, we would feel morally obligated to
repay more than 20% -- even up to total amount -- in case of need.
The result of that letter: There has been a fairly good
response so far -- not yet NEARLY enough -- but it has reversed the
trend so that I have not been forced to cancel any more radio
stations.
It is going to be a hard, difficult, UP-HILL effort the
rest of this year, however, or I WILL have to start taking the
vital message off the air over more and more stations.
Co-Workers, THAT JUST MUST NOT HAPPEN!
Instead, let's PRAY, diligently, earnestly, and
BELIEVINGLY, that God will lay it on the hearts of enough
Co-Workers so that we may PUT THE PROGRAM BACK on these stations we
already had to cancel!
PLEASE, in this year of transition, increase the amount of
offerings if possible! And IF you have larger sums you simply
CANNOT give outright as an offering at this time, but could let it
be WORKING where the living CHRIST is directing and blessing, SEND
IT IN AS A LOAN -- on a 5-year basis if possible. But PLEASE,
Brethren and Co-Workers, do NOT put it on a loan basis if you can
make it a straight offering! Loans DO HELP -- but NOT NEARLY AS
MUCH as outright offerings. The loans mean operating on borrowed
money, outright offerings mean operating on REAL income.
Our new approach is GETTING THE MESSAGE to a class of
people WE NEVER COULD REACH BEFORE! I do not feel I can make their
names public, but I have on my desk a heavy pile of letters
