properties until God has made their acquisition possible. Enemies
of God's work seem to delight in spreading false accusations and
suspicions to discredit the work of God. So be assured that while
I feel these properties are necessary to the future of the college,
I will assume no obligation until financial circumstances warrant.
FIRST, we must finish working our way out of this
immediate crisis.
Now, remember, we must immediately pay off $9,000 still
due on this last weeks bill for the reconstruction of the college.
I have met and paid $3,000 MORE than the largest estimate given me
to raise for this purpose. This extra $9,000 was totally
unforeseen and unforeseeable. We also must raise several thousand
dollars within a week or two to bring our large radio stations up
to date, OR BE THROWN OFF THE AIR!
These obligations are immediate and PRESSING---the
emergency is DESPERATE! It MUST BE MET! And all beside the
regular expenses of conducting this great work, and the college---
several thousand dollars a month!
This means EVERY SINGLE CO-WORKER MUST NOW STRETCH TO THE
VERY LIMIT OF SACRIFICE AND SELF-DENIAL, in a supreme effort, with
me, to raise this money at once. We must ALL pitch in, to the
limit of our ability! I must now ask YOU, and EVERY single
co-worker, to rise to the supreme effort to send in the very
largest sum you possibly can, as a very special emergency gift for
this great work at this time. It's WORTH sacrificing for! This
world is marching on at a faster and faster pace toward IT'S DOOM!
Scientists say it's a matter of a few years only, until the new
weapons now discovered will blast human life from this earth,
unless some means can be found to prevent. NO HUMAN MEANS CAN
PREVENT IT NOW! The world's ONLY HOPE is CHRIST! Your money---
your property---won't be worth anything IF, and WHEN this happens!
OUR COMMISSION IS TO WARN THIS NATION AND THE WORLD, before it is
everlastingly TOO LATE. You, dear co-worker, SHARE IN THIS
RESPONSIBILITY WITH ME, and will be called to account in the
judgment for what you do now, the same as I.
Now, even at greatest sacrifice by all, I realize that we
are not going to be able to raise all this money quickly enough by
tithes, offerings, and gifts. A few of our co-workers have helped
us up to now by LOANING us money they have felt they could not
GIVE. Some have said they may never need to take the money back,
but in case they do need it, they have our note and guarantee it
will be promptly repaid. One or two had money saved up they may
need a year or two from now, and they have placed this money at our
disposal to help us over this terrible emergency, letting their
money WORK FOR GOD now, to be repaid to them, if, and when they
will need it, later. One has borrowed money on some property he
owned, and we are making the payments to him to pay his bank, as
the payments and interest come due. Some have sold bonds, or
securities, and loaned us the cash, to be paid back in the manner
that fits the needs of each one in each case. We need now to
borrow several thousand dollars more on this basis. In each case
I give the lender a note, binding the Radio Church of God,
