certainly had that fact shockingly impressed upon us these past few
days we have had to be here in Hollywood--the world's amusement and
entertainment capital, as well as the radio capital. Mrs.
Armstrong was just remarking how REAL is the fulfillment of the
prophecy for the LAST DAYS--EATING AND DRINKING, marrying and
giving in marriage--as in the days of Noah! Why, not only here in
Hollywood, but EVERYWHERE! It seems all people think of is money
making, eating, drinking, being amused and entertained! Yes,
AMERICA HAS DRIFTED FAR FROM GOD! AMERICA IS SOUND ASLEEP, WITH
DOOM HURTLING DOWN UPON HER!
God has called us to WARN America before it is too late! To
WARN THE WORLD!
Friends and Co-Workers, Mrs. Armstrong and I, and our staff,
are working will all the zeal, the enthusiasm, the determination,
and the power that God gives us--almost night and day--to carry out
this vital mission on a constantly larger and more powerful scale,
WHILE IT IS DAY! Remember, God has warned us in His prophecies THE
NIGHT is drawing near, when no man can work! (That is, in God's
work). Soon it is prophesied, THERE WILL BE A FAMINE OF EVEN
HEARING THE WORD OF GOD PREACHED!
We cannot delay. We dare not let down! This is by far the
most important business in this world. WHAT an opportunity, NOW!
Soon that opportunity will be GONE--TOO LATE! Think of it! TWO
THOUSAND precious souls reached with every dollar you put into this
vital, glorious work!
HOW MANY of those dollars are you able to send, now, in this
present emergency? Some of you just don't have enough to send in
more than one--and sometimes you apologize for you "widow's mite!"
Oh, dear co-workers, don't apologize for doing the best you can do!
God knows your heart--He doesn't expect you to give what you have
not got. If one single dollar is all you are able to give to this
glorious cause, just remember that single dollar will reach TWO
THOUSAND precious souls! It isn't little--IT'S MUCH! God bless
you for it!
BUT, most of you are ABLE to send much more! And if those who
are ABLE would do proportionately anywhere NEAR as much in God's
work as those so poor in his world's goods--many of whom actually
live on a monthly income of $16 to $50, and still spare two to five
dollars of it for God's work--then we would be able to shake this
whole world to its foundations with the power at our disposal! For
some of you,one to several thousand dollars would not be as great
a sacrifice as the "widow's mite" given by many of our precious
co-workers! Just now God's work sorely NEEDS many of the larger,
more generous offerings which many are able to give, if they will
let God make their hearts willing--offerings of $25, $50, $100, a
thousand or several thousand dollars.
"Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let
him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for GOD LOVETH A
CHEERFUL GIVER." (II Cor. 9:7)
Please pray over it earnestly, won't you, and then use the
enclosed reply-envelope in sending what you feel God would have
you send. And please continue to pray diligently for me, for all
our staff, and for God's Work! This work needs your prayers!
God bless you!
Sincerely, in Jesus' name,
HERBERT W. ARMSTRONG
