This morning's newspaper says hundreds of high-salaried
technicians, having lost their jobs, are seeking positions in
Europe and other countries. We have been in a financial recession
for two years now.
Therefore in this Work we have been forced to make some cut-
backs. We had to tighten our belts, so to speak. We have had to
reduce publication of The PLAIN TRUTH and TOMORROW'S WORLD to
every other month. We cut all top salaries by 20%, others by 10%.
We cut down the broadcast on many stations from everyday broad-
casting to once a week. And at the end of last March I had to
ask many Co-Workers to send in EXTRA contributions.
WE PULLED THROUGH THE EMERGENCY. We kept this great Work
ALIVE! We had the help and guidance of the "unseen Hand from
someplace" mentioned quite a while ago by U. S. News & World
Report. And this year, once again THOUSANDS of additional lives
were CHANGED in the direction of real SUCCESS, happiness,
eternal life.
But NOW, we must, as we promised, start publishing The PLAIN
TRUTH every month again. We must, as we promised these radio
stations, put The WORLD TOMORROW program back on the air SEVEN
DAYS A WEEK. We must put the TELEVISION program of The WORLD
TOMORROW on a constantly increasing number of stations.
And this great "MUST" hits the Work right at the time of our
hardest month, financially. The month when so many FORGET the
needs of the Work the living CHRIST directs, to exchange presents
with family members, relatives and friends.
I hope YOU won't allow yourself to FORGET the vital needs of
this Work -- especially during this difficult month -- when we
are once again increasing the publishing and broadcasting workload.
I hope, too, that you will write in IMMEDIATELY for that free
booklet offered in the semiannual letter -- "The PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT
CHRISTMAS." Also, of course, the other booklet on the new
Feminist Movement. Even this is now beginning to lead to violence!
There is NOTHING LIKE THIS GREAT WORK on earth. I believe
nothing is doing so much GOOD. I have shown you before how every
dollar in this Work GOES FARTHER, does more GOOD, than it could
any place else. It's absolutely AMAZING -- but remember the
inspired divine GUIDANCE we have.
You are having a wonderful PART in CHANGING THE WORLD. In
bringing HAPPINESS, PEACE, HOPE, inspiration to countless
THOUSANDS. You are helping have an IMPACT on 150 MILLION people
worldwide!
THANK YOU from the heart for your LOYALTY -- I know you'll
stand faithfully by me and our Family of Co-Workers. THIS is
the month when we need to be GENEROUS as never before to this
great Work where the living CHRIST is working, directing -- and
BLESSING with rich results.
