traditions and deceits and fables, but to cry ALOUD--yes, ALOUD,
over this whole NATION, and SPARE NOT--and SHOW MY PEOPLE THEIR
SINS! That's God's commission to me and you co-workers who stand
with me!
Now I realize fully that SOME of our former good co-workers
will be offended by the straight plain TRUTH I gave you in this
broadcast tonight. I doubt if you ever heard this TRUTH preached
before, but it's time SOMEONE had the courage to tell it to this
sinning nation bringing the wrath of GOD upon itself, before it's
too late!
When Jesus was here on earth, HIS Message was not popular. He
offended a good many, too. He was despised and rejected of men,
too. He was persecuted, too.
Now a great, vast, powerful broadcast such as this costs MONEY
--a lot of MONEY. GOD'S WAY--The BIBLE WAY--of financing God's
true work is thru the tithes and offerings of HIS PEOPLE . . . the
real Christians. A Christian is one who has REPENTED of the
selfish, greedy, GETTING way, accepted Christ as Saviour, and
turned to the loving and GIVING way of life. So, God's real born-
again people GIVE of their tithes and offerings, freely, generous,
even at SACRIFICE,--and GLADLY and JOYOUSLY--that the precious
GOSPEL may be carried forth and GIVEN, FREE, without money and
without price, to those in the WORLD who are willing to heed and
accept it! Jesus set us the example! I myself try to follow His
example, and in turn set an example for our other CO-WORKERS. I am
giving of MY all,--and my wife HER ALL, right along by my side.
We're giving OUR VERY LIVES to God's work! A year ago I turned
down an offer of a salary of $2,000 a week--$100,000 a year--if I'd
quit preaching God's TRUTH and broadcast a straight news-analysis
program 15 minutes a day over a large national network for a
breakfast-foods sponsor. Two years ago my wife and I sold our home
in Eugene, Oregon, and put EVERY CENT into God's work, that it
might grow to its present size and scope and great power for good.
And we are both happy that so far we ourselves have put in the
largest single sum of money ever contributed to this work. Right
now, we have no home of our own at all--we're forced to just move
around every few nights from one auto cabin to another to find a
place to sleep--but we aren't grumbling about that!--rather, we're
HAPPY to be able to be of HELP to so many, and of service to our
God! Now I only mention this, so you'll understand there's nothing
more I can do--and so, for the sake of the MILLION PRECIOUS SOULS
listening in every night, and the THOUSANDS who are hungry for the
free literature we are preparing of God's TRUTH, I've felt FORCED
to send out this appeal tonight to the scattered sprinkling of
Co-Workers who may be listening. THIS IS THE CRISIS of THIS WORK
FOR GOD! The issue is whether GOD'S TRUE WARNING MESSAGE--this
kind of PLAIN BIBLE PREACHING--can continue in a BIG WAY over this
entire nation! That issue is NOW IN YOUR HANDS.
Co-Workers, I know you'll rally to this emergency. Remember
this is a GENERAL LETTER, going to all co-workers. Many of you
have stood by us to the limit of your ability--GOD BLESS YOU!--but
more of you have let other things crowd CHRIST'S WORK out of your
minds during this shopping season. If you are one who has ability
to send a hundred, several hundred, or a thousand dollars or more,
please rush it AIR-MAIL, or by telegraph. It's URGENT! These
thousands of hungry souls MUST NOT BE DENIED GOD'S PRECIOUS MESSAGE
