negotiated and transacted, and apparently will be delayed another
two or three months at least. Another writes of a plan to place
upward of $25,000 into the work, but this, too, will take a little
time to work out. We may be able to negotiate a $50,000 loan on
the college property thru an insurance company, but this, too, will
take more time. Another co-worker travelled clear across the
United States to inspect the college and see what we have, and
investigate us and become better acquainted and before leaving to
return said he and his family will be in position, within two or
three years, to give some very large sums for this work, but cannot
help us now. A man here in Pasadena who has important connections
and acquaintance with many wealthy people has a definite plan to
induce several of them to place large sums in Ambassador College,
but this, too, will take more time. God is moving wonderfully to
open unbelievable opportunities, and I know that in due time large
sums will come to this work that it may grow in scope and in power,
IF WE CAN TIDE OVER THIS PRESENT EMERGENCY.
The one thing that may give us time to save the situation
is the fact that tomorrow, January 1st, is New Year's day, and a
holiday, which automatically gives us, this month, until Friday the
2nd. My only recourse, therefore, is to RUSH THIS EXPLANATION THIS
MORNING BY AIR-MAIL TO JUST A SMALL NUMBER OF YOU WHO ARE AMONG OUR
MOST REGULAR AND FAITHFUL CO-WORKERS, TO ASK YOU TO GO TO A PRIVATE
ROOM IMMEDIATELY, CLOSE THE DOOR AND JOIN US IN FERVENT, HEART-
RENDING, BELIEVING PRAYER FOR A MIRACLE---AND THEN ASK YOU TO SEND
IMMEDIATELY ANOTHER OFFERING IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, EVEN THO YOU MAY
HAVE JUST SENT ONE.
Always it is the FEW loyal and faithful who have to carry
most of the load. You are one of those few who are back of the
most precious, the most important work on earth. This work of God
CAN'T stop! It must go on to ALL THE WORLD, into EVERY NATION.
Here at Ambassador College plans are being made, students taught
and trained, and feverish effort expended, to that end. Yet, now,
inside of five or six days, this work could be STOPPED DEAD---in
fact, WILL BE, unless by some desperate effort, and a miracle from
God, I can raise $7,000. I hate, more than I can say, to have to
ask YOU who have already helped so much to stretch a little
farther, but I find YOU are the only ones to be depended on in such
an emergency, and I know of no other way, now to turn. If OTHERS
have been lax and neglectful, I guess you and I have to put forth
double effort to make up for it. Surely, among the small group of
regular and faithful co-workers who will get this special emergency
letter, there is ONE of you---could it be YOU?---who could at least
LOAN us the $7,000 we need. If so, telegraph or call me long
distance IMMEDIATELY, if you need additional information before
sending it. Our office is SYCAMORE 6-6123, and our residence
telephone, where you could reach me even at night-time, is SYCAMORE
2-8142.
Or, if you can loan us, or GIVE to the work, any part of
that $7,000, please send it, AIR-MAIL at least, and if possible,
WIRE IT, by WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH. You can telegraph money at
reasonable charge and the emergency is so great there may not be
time enough to get it to us by letter.
