God's work must owe no man anything! It cannot continue
on in debt! Our policy is to pay in advance, or as we go. This
indebtedness was forced on us by factors outside our control. WE
MUST NOW UNITEDLY SET OURSELVES TO PUT GOD'S WORK ON SOLID GROUND
FINANCIALLY---out of debt, and with a reasonable cash surplus to
tide over temporary slumps or unexpected emergencies. We here at
Pasadena are SET TO THAT POLICY, and that is now our one major
goal---BUT WE MUST HAVE YOUR HELP, AND IT MEANS REAL SACRIFICE ON
YOUR PART!
This is the most important work and activity on earth
today! WE ARE IN A TIME OF PEACE FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF ALLOWING
TIE TO PROCLAIM THIS MESSAGE TO THE WORLD! In a few years YOUR
MONEY, YOUR PROPERTY, will be worthless, or blown to bits. Present
so-called "peace" won't last! We are near the end of this world---
this age---this civilization! ONLY THE WORK OF GOD COUNTS NOW!
CO-WORKERS, RALLY TO THIS EMERGENCY AS YOU NEVER DID
BEFORE! Never yet has anyone given a single contribution to this
work as large as $5,000. ONE OF YOU CAN! Will you? One man and
his wife borrowed $5,000, mortgaging their home, and loaned it to
us to pay off the last of the college reconstruction cost. Two
months ago, when the bank unexpectedly demanded the remaining
$3,000 of that loan be paid immediately, six months sooner than
originally arranged, we were able to pay only $1,500, obtaining
an extension until December for the remaining $1,500. It must be
paid then. Of course we will not let these dear co-workers lose
their home. But we now have only thirty days to raise this in
addition to these other crying needs. And somewhere among you
co-workers is one who can send this amount.
Co-Workers, would you let the broadcast stop, because of
your neglect? Would you let The PLAIN TRUTH stop? This year The
PLAIN TRUTH has grown to 16 pages every issue---its circulation
has grown much more than in any previous year.
Yet at this very moment thousands of copies of the
November number, all addressed, and in mail sacks, have been lying
on our office floor for days because of lack of money for postage.
I have the December number half written and set in type---BUT THE
PLAIN TRUTH IS HELD UP FOR LACK OF MONEY! Ambassador College
sorely needs $5,000 for library books which we cannot now afford,
and will not, until the work as a whole is "out of the red" and
in currently sound financial shape.
CO-WORKERS, all of you---we must now remove this reproach
from God's work! THE WORK SORELY NEEDS A GIFT OF $5,000 OR MORE!
But if you can't send that, or a thousand, or a hundred or more---
or even $50 or $20---at least EVERY ONE OF YOU can send the widow's
two mites! And another downpour now of widow's mites would lift
this work out of this DANGER. Remember every dollar carries the
true Gospel to TWO THOUSAND SOULS! Can you use it otherwise, and
then face God in the judgment?
Now is the time for financial sacrifice as you never did
before! WILL YOU JOIN ME IN EARNEST PRAYER OVER IT? The condition
this minute is DESPERATE! Please PRAY, and ask God to move on the
