these scores of thousands are WARNED of their sin---of the coming
PLAGUES---of the soon coming JESUS---whether or not they heed, we
shall have acquitted ourselves before God. And SOME of them will
heed and be saved. BUT---if we FAIL our Lord in this hour of
crisis, HE SAYS HE WILL REQUIRE THEIR BLOOD AT YOUR HAND AND MINE!
Dear friend, let us be fellow-servants of God, together.
Alone I am helpless and powerless. YOUR help is just as important
---will receive just as much blessing from God---as my part of the
work. Think, now, of some of the material things you plan to buy.
Then think of the "stars in your crown" that God will add FOR
ETERNITY if you will sacrifice it and use that money to GET THE
PURE GOSPEL TRUTH TO THIS VAST MULTITUDE! Upwards of a QUARTER
MILLION PEOPLE! IT means ALL ETERNITY for them! SOULS are at
stake for ALL ETERNITY! The things you may have to sacrifice to
help, or make a larger pledge, you will never miss WHEN JESUS
COMES---and HE IS COMING SOON! We must act QUICKLY! And so I ask
you to help with your means, even to the point of sacrificing. And
above all I ask you to pray! pray! PRAY!!! Your prayers are as
necessary as your money!
I must have $50 per month subscribed and PLEDGED, to be
sent the first of each month for the entire year 1935, if this
wonderful campaign for Jesus is to go with the LOUD VOICE of the
radio! The pledges must be in my hands BEFORE JANUARY 1st!
Remember, this is entirely a WORK OF FAITH! Every CENT must come
from you who receive this letter, and quickly, or we fail. Some
will be able to contribute only 25 cents or 50 cents a month. God
will bless it, if you cannot send more. But the number who
subscribe will necessarily be SMALL---so that unless everyone who
possibly can subscribe MORE than a dollar a month---say $5, or
$10---this wonderful campaign for God will fail. Subscribe the
very largest offering you can give. We cannot, will not, go
contrary to God's Word by BEGGING FOR MONEY OVER THE AIR! The
whole cost must be pledged IN ADVANCE from God's own believing
children, that it may go FREE, WITHOUT BEGGING, over the air to the
vast throng. So I ask you to pledge the very largest amount you
can. And PRAY EARNESTLY that God will cause enough others to
respond. We stand or fall on the result of this one letter!
Now, further, we are considerably behind in current
bills, and must have $50 AT ONCE to clear them up, keep God's work
out of reproach, and going. I have been preaching NINE TIMES A
WEEK, besides editing and printing The Plain Truth, praying for the
sick, giving private Bible studies. I am giving of my time and
strength to the very limit for God. WILL YOU STAND WITH ME? Will
you HELP NOW? By return mail! Send an offering, as large as you
can. Send also the money for your first month's pledge now, if you
can. Now before you lay this letter down, fill out the pledge
below for the largest amount you can, enclose an offering to help
pay current bills if possible, and MAIL IT IN THE ENCLOSED
ADDRESSED ENVELOPE right now! Before it leaves your mind! God
will bless you. And I thank you sincerely.
Your fellow servant in Christ Jesus,
