credit to God and His work, as well as to Pasadena and Southern
California.
It seems to me that, if possible, we should also build
the church auditorium as a part of the same building, and at the
same time. But frankly, without local help, we cannot now under-
take to finance so much. All I know to do is put the proposition
up frankly and candidly to all our Co-Worker family in Southern
California. Do YOU want us to have a place where I can conduct
regular public services---part of the time EVERY-NIGHT services---
and at least SUNDAY NIGHTS the rest of the time? Will YOU make a
real sacrifice to HELP build it, and make, either a sizable
contribution to this special building fund, or pledge, conditioned
on continued ability of course, a series of MONTHLY special
offerings for this special fund?
Right now we need God's wisdom and guidance. I am asking
Him for it, and I know He will give it and make His will clear and
plain. But in multitude of counsel there is safety, and so I ask
all our Southern California Co-Workers for their counsel and
advice. Will YOU, therefore, PRAY EARNESTLY over this very
important decision I must make---as to whether to move to Southern
California---as to WHICH site we should select---as to whether we
shall be able to include a church auditorium of our very own in
this project? My, what a wonderful opportunity this seems to be
for the future of the work! It means more and harder work for me
personally---but it means greatly expanded opportunity for service-
--a work that ultimately will reach and influence fifty million or
more people in the United States alone---a work that will carry the
last warning Gospel Message to the uttermost parts of the world,
quickly, powerfully! And a work that will ultimately have that
intensive, personal-contact influence in all parts of the country!
It is a vision of truly great magnitude, the greatest opportunity
for service in God's hands ever to come to ANY people, at ANY time
in world history! Can you grasp the truly great and marvelous
vision? TIME IS SHORT, and WE HAVE A GREAT MISSION TO ACCOMPLISH
BEFORE IT IS EVERLASTINGLY TOO LATE!
PRAY OVER IT! Then please fill out the enclosed
questionnaire, giving me your counsel and advice, and mail as soon
as possible in the enclosed self-addressed reply envelope. Thank
you, and God bless you for your interest and co-operation. I hope
it may be God's will for us soon to have a closer and more personal
co-operation together in this great work.
Sincerely, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
