Dear Co-Workers for Christ:
The BULLETIN is three weeks overdue. My wife, two sons
and I are now on the summer baptizing tour of the country, and I
simply have not had an opportunity to write the BULLETIN---or, for
that matter, as yet, The PLAIN TRUTH.
It seems every moment is taken---we must rush, just every
moment. We are meeting many of our Co-Workers scattered over the
country, visiting and baptizing many who have been converted thru
the broadcast. I find we are unable to spent as much time as we
would like with each one, but must hurry and keep moving, in order
to see and baptize a larger number.
So I am pausing here in Galveston just one extra hour
this morning before we take the ferry across to the highway leading
to Lake Charles, La., Lafayette, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans, with
people waiting for us at each place to be baptized yet today. In
this one hour, till the next ferry, I'm writing you this brief new-
letter to tell you just a little of our trip so far, and the
MARVELOUS, wonderful progress of God's work, under His guidance,
and His blessing.
I have been baptizing people almost every day, and most
days several, often at different points. It has been one of the
greatest JOYS to me---one of the greatest encouragements and
sources of inspiration---of my life. Just yesterday or day before
Mrs. Armstrong was remarking to me that she was so happy every
single one baptized so far has been really and thoroughly repentant
---wholly surrendered to God, just like a little child. They have
had that spirit of the "first love," and it has been a precious
thing for us to see. We have known SO MANY who came at first to
Christ in that meek spirit---so CHANGED from their former selves
---and yet who later permitted worldly interest or associates, self
desires or temptations of the flesh to come in and choke off that
sweet and lovely spirit with which God had filled them at the
first. Remember, dear friends, you can RETAIN that yielded, meek
spirit and that first LOVE, only if you grow DAILY spiritually by
being fed daily on spiritual food---prayerful study of God's Word,
and private prayer and communion with God---that is, getting CLOSER
to God, and separating yourself from companionship and fellowship
with the world. That is the BASIC ESSENTIAL to you ultimate
salvation, for he that endureth unto the end shall be saved, and
one can endure in the spiritual life no other way.
