realize the meaning and need to keep the entire Feast of Tabernacles until 1945,
though my
wife and I began keeping the annual Sabbaths in 1927.
Today the Worldwide Church of God Feast of Tabernacles is the largest
annual assembly,
convention or Festival held on the face of the earth! God has surely blessed us
in this!
The Feast of Tabernacles pictures to us year after year the GLORIOUS
thousand years just
shortly ahead now, of WORLD PEACE, HAPPINESS, AND OPPORTUNITY FOR ETERNAL
SALVATION
FOR ALL NOT PREVIOUSLY CALLED! It will be a world WITHOUT SATAN! It will be a
world
WITH JESUS CHRIST RULING WITH LOVE!
It is a time for us to get away from the dreary routine of daily life in
Satan's world,
and enjoy eight wonderful days with brethren in Christ and their families! A
time of spiritual
rejuvenation for us! It is the only time in the year that God provides a time
when we may get
away and rest from our daily regular duties--to be with BRETHREN IN CHRlST--to
worship Him,
and look FORWARD to His UTOPIA!!
This year we shall have 21 Festival sites. Due to gasoline prices and
inflation, no one
will need to travel more than 300 miles. However, transfers will be available to
suit each
budget.
Brethren, as God shows us the IMPORTANCE of attending this Feast, it is
equally
IMPORTANT that all shall have been saving the SECOND TITHE to pay your own
expenses and
enjoyment at the Festival. Of course part of that expense is rental of
auditoriums or halls
or convention centers and other expenses the Church must pay. So, as always, BE
SURE TO SEND
IN A TITHE OF YOUR ENTIRE YEAR'S SECOND TITHE BY RETURN MAIL. Mark or list it
separate from
your regular first tithe or offering. And please do not forget the BUILDING
FUND. Although we
did have 100% financing on the Auditorium and other headquarters buildings, that
came in the
form of large multi-million-dollar loans from major insurance companies. Of
course much of the
campus is all paid off now, but payments are still having to be made month by
month on the
Auditorium, Hall of Administration, etc. So REMEMBER the special building fund,
please.
Remember we have been able to use and enjoy these fine buildings for a number of
years before
we have had to pay out these mortgages by which they were financed. And the
interest we are
