can be opened up to give us 150 extra seats opening into the
Tabernacle, with grand total of 1,000 seats.
The last section to be constructed is the front lounge
room, almost wholly glassed in, overlooking the magnificent
terraced view and the projected lake. It will also serve as class
room and for dining purposes when large numbers are attending.
WORK MUST START ON THIS BUILDING PROJECT AT ONCE! I am
determined NOT to go into debt in this. We MUST have cash in
advance to pay as we build. So I must now make an EXTRA SPECIAL
APPEAL for special fundsÄÄLARGE funds from those who are ableÄÄfor
this special BUILDING FUND.
Three families already have moved to GladewaterÄÄÄI have
met two of them here. Many others are planning to move here, or
near here. But again, let me caution you, DO NOT MOVE HERE until
you have first come here and established yourself in a job, a
business, or means of earning a living. Jobs around here are
scarce temporarily, just now, due to the fact the big Lafourneau
plant in Longview recently laid off a few hundred men. This, I
believe, is a temporary condition. One of the men I have met here
managed to get a good job and is now going to move his wife and
children here.
Again, don't send anything for the special building fund
you would have sent anyway for the GOSPEL Work. The GOSPEL work
must go out stronger and stronger. We cannot take money from that
for building purposes. So, try to sacrifice an EXTRA, ADDITIONAL
sum for this special building fund, and state plainly in your
letter how much is tithe and regular offering, and how much is for
the special building fund.
My, ISN'T GOD GOOD TO US? Isn't it just WONDERFUL the
way He blesses His work, keeps it growing so powerfully? How we
should thank and praise Him! God bless you, I know you'll continue
to stand with us! RUSH the largest amounts your means and
circumstances permit.
Sincerely, gratefully, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
