thing never before done in the world of education---to establish a
European branch of a college, where students study part of the time
in America, part abroad. Everywhere educators are AMAZED, and say
it is a WONDERFUL idea. We were interviewed by reporters of daily
newspapers in London, where this was regarded as NEWS! The Gospel
cannot be carried to Britain and Europe and other parts of the
world IN THE SAME WAY we do it here. There we shall not have the
facilities of radio. But God is showing us HOW, and the people of
those nations WILL BE WARNED, and they WILL BE REACHED WITH GOD'S
MESSAGE! Yes, powerfully, and effectively! God is showing as HOW.
The ground-work is laid. But TIME IS SHORT. Soon it will be too
late. The day is here, but the "night" is coming when NO MAN CAN
WORK for God.
But now LISTEN CAREFULLY! We have returned from this most
important, vital, fruitful trip to find the work here in a
financial crisis that threatens its very life! It is in the most
serious and critical emergency it ever has faced. It is a LIFE-
AND-DEATH test!
I have to tell you candidly and frankly, that every
APPEARANCE---every visible circumstance---says the work is doomed,
and we will be shut off the air on our two most powerful and
important stations, XEG, and XERB, by the 15th of this month,
April! In fact, there is no visible hope that anything can now
save the work. GOD MUST PERFORM A MIRACLE!
But LISTEN! Our God whom we are serving is a miracle-
working God. Nothing is too difficult---nothing is impossible,
with God. Circumstances, appearances, have absolutely nothing to
do with FAITH, or the working of God. And God has PROMISED He will
not stop, but will finish the work He has begun. He has PROMISED
to supply all our need. He has PROMISED He will never leave us nor
forsake us. And HE CANNOT BREAK A PROMISE!
I don't know how it happened. We left here with everything
in good financial condition, the outlook excellent. God opened the
way for us with actual miracles repeatedly at every turn---was with
us throughout our entire journey. I've come back with just what I
needed for the broadcasts---for future articles in The PLAIN TRUTH.
Yet, before we had hardly boarded the ship it seems our co-workers
---most of them (perhaps not YOU, but most of them)---seemed to
delay or forget to send in their tithes and offerings. This
delayed the mailing of The PLAIN TRUTH. And, for the first time,
our office staff was unable to pay the heavy radio bills. I
returned to find two months piled up. Such a situation never has
existed---ought not to exist---CANNOT continue, because the radio
stations will not keep the program on the air unless they are paid
up completely by the 10th or 15th of this month. For several weeks
money almost stopped coming in. This has grown to a great work,
costing thousands of dollars a week. And a slump of four or five
weeks like this puts the work in a DESPERATE condition! Now, we
MUST have an added $15,000 within the next ten days, or this vital
program will be taken off the air---right when I have the MOST
SERIOUS, IMPORTANT THINGS TO SAY WHICH I LEARNED ON OUR TRIP
