University of London, and several colleges and universities on the
Pacific Coast are showing marked interest and enthusiasm for these
plans. The chancellor of higher education for Oregon told me we
are on the right track---and the kind of college we are founding is
what America needs---one that will recapture moral and spiritual
values and teach students how to LIVE, instead of devoting all
attention to science and materialism, neglecting the spiritual
values.
COMING THRU OUR WORST CRISIS
The past six weeks has seen God's work having to weather
the most severe crisis of it history. It has been a LIFE-AND-DEATH
test. For two weeks the very life of this great work hung in the
balance!
I had to send out a special emergency letter, AIR-MAIL!
Then Mrs. Armstrong And I got down on our knees and PRAYED! And I
know hundreds and hundreds of you must have responded by getting on
your knees and praying with us. Our co-workers responded
immediately, and generously, and for three weeks we began rapidly
to catch up. I had to tell you frankly we were behind with the
largest radio stations, threatened with going off the air. We were
$15,000 behind! As I explained in that letter, this has grown to
a very great work, costing thousands of dollars a week. And we
were in a DESPERATE condition---AND STILL ARE!
Now here's what happened: For three weeks, our
co-workers responded in most gratifying manner, and we began
rapidly catching up---the work was temporarily saved. But now for
a week money received has begun dropping off again at an ALARMING
rate. Before this happened, we were about two-thirds caught up.
One more such week and we would have been completely caught up on
financial obligations. But, meantime, each week's current expenses
must be met, and now this slump is plunging the work right back
into ANOTHER DESPERATE CRISIS! Co-Workers, this great and glorious
work of God MUST GO ON! It MUST not be in debt. It MUST be on its
feet financially. That's another reason we have to delay any
decision about this miraculous opportunity in Europe. Of course I
cannot make a decision until the work is on its feet, and I can see
that the necessary 8% increase is being supplied. And I AM FORCED
TO DELAY THE NEXT PLAIN TRUTH until this condition is met. Already
one issue has been missed. Everything is ready to place The PLAIN
TRUTH on the presses just as soon as this BULLETIN can reach you,
and your response can reach us. Listen, dear Co-Workers---let's
all make just one more EXTRA-ORDINARY EFFORT, at any sacrifice, and
if the response can be as generous as before the work of God will
be out of reproach, out of danger, and back on its feet as it ought
to be. Now I'M GOING TO PRAY AGAIN---BELIEVING, as before. I ask
you to join me. Go to a private place, get on your knees and pray
for this work! PRAY that we will be enabled to stay on the air---
that I won't have to repeat programs anymore,---that we may get
completely caught up with supplies of booklets to send out---that
The PLAIN TRUTH may be printed without further delay. All these
things can be done if financial needs are met. STAND WITH US, and
PRAY! Send the most liberal sum you possibly can by return AIR-
MAIL! GOD BLESS YOU! The fate of God's great work in these
