separate contributions over and above regular tithes and offerings,
on the part of those INTERESTED in this project. So far, in spite
of the enthusiastic letters from some, the amount of this special
fund is only a fraction of the need. I can report to you now that
Mr. Hammer has tied up, and put in escrow, one of the adjoining
properties we had to purchase, and a deal is pending on the other.
He has himself advanced money on it. The two men going to Europe
this summer are putting their own savings into it, paying nearly
all of their own transportation. Some of you have sent in generous
SPECIAL offerings, in some cases from those who had not been
co-workers but want to help in this start toward preaching the
Gospel to Europe. But THE WORK ITSELF takes thousands of dollars
every month, and will be STOPPED DEAD, and quickly, unless you Co-
Workers---ALL OF YOU---respond IMMEDIATELY as never before, with
the largest amounts each of you can send---whether that be just
the widow's two mites, or a check for several thousand dollars.
Every widow' mite counts---send in a downpour of them---but the
hundreds and thousands count MORE and are needed from the FEW who
are able. I have to rest this in your hands, commit it to God,
and trust Him to ROUSE YOU ALL to an immediate and a tremendous
response! Just when the work is growing in power, producing its
greatest harvest, receiving GOD'S richest blessings, is certainly
no time to let down. DO AS THE ANCIENT ISRAELITES DID WHEN MOSES
SENT OUT AN S.O.S. FOR THE NEED OF THAT TIME---THE PEOPLE RESPONDED
SO GENEROUSLY AND UNIVERSALLY HE HAD TO SEND OUT A SECOND
PROCLAMATION ASKING THEM TO LET UP---more was coming in than they
could use! Co-Workers, let's wake up---let's shake off this
complacency, indifference and delay---EVERYONE GET BACK OF THIS BIG
PUSH WITH ALL YOU POSSIBLY CAN SEND. God bless you, I know you
won't let the great work die!
Sincerely, IN JESUS' NAME,
Herbert W. Armstrong
