is now another way open for many to help very materially in God's
work. Since the work is incorporated, it is now possible for
persons having life-savings of some sizeable sum to live off those
savings, or partly so, as the case may be, while at the same time
they put the money to work in GOD'S SERVICE. About two years ago
one of our co-workers offered to send in for the work such a sum of
money--I don't remember now the exact amount, perhaps a couple
thousand or five thousand dollars -- with the arrangement that we
in turn send them a monthly check of a certain small percent, for
them to live on, as long as they lived. At the time we were not
incorporated, and our attorney advised against accepting it. Now,
however, the work is in position to receive such sums, both for the
Gospel work, and for the College.
Also the work now is in position to receive deeds to property, or
to be bequeathed property of money in wills. Many would rather
have their money go into God's work in the event of their death, or
a portion of it.
Then, also, we need SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS, and LOAN FUNDS for the
college, to be used in assisting worthy and qualified students
unable fully to pay their own way. As the work develops and
expands, the NEED grows. Every Co-Worker has a SERIOUS
RESPONSIBILITY--and supplying YOUR PART of this great and growing
need is YOUR PART in this work. That's the part I cannot do.
Remember, NONE of it goes to me personally. And remember, too,
EVERY DOLLAR placed in this work carries the true GOSPEL out to TWO
THOUSAND PRECIOUS SOULS! Already we are reaching millions every
week with the TRUTH -- but now the work must expand till it's WORLD
WIDE!
FINALLY! AND MOST URGENT!
Finally, Brethren, Friends, Co-Workers, LISTEN! Two months ago
we found this work in a life-and-death crisis. Suddenly it had
gone thousands of dollars behind, because some of our Co-Workers
had grown lax and careless. I sent out a very special emergency
letter. The response was splendid, and in three weeks two thirds
of that indebtedness was paid. But then tithes and offerings began
to fall off again. The last BULLETIN helped a little, but we have
been just barely holding our own with week-to-week expenses.
And now, the past week, it has begun to drop off again. That
portion of the indebtedness into which the work was plunged two
months ago still hangs heavily over our heads--AND IT IS GETTING
SERIOUS AND DESPERATE!
It CAN'T BE PUT OFF LONGER! We have had to delay publishing The
PLAIN TRUTH that should have been out in March or April, and people
are writing in by the thousands asking for it! It's mostly written
--a dynamic article giving you the BIBLE TRUTH on our greatest
national evil -- DIVORCE AND RE-MARRIAGE; a thrilling article on
the PALESTINE QUESTION, for which I have gone to San Francisco, New
York, London, to interview personally the men in whose hands the
fate of Palestine rests; a most revealing article on European and
world conditions--as I found them, as they are, and in the light of
PROPHECY. Many other vital and interesting things--hundreds of
