Dear Co-Workers:
I have to call on you now to join me in asking God for a
near-miracle! Nothing short of that, it seems now, will solve our
emergency.
But first, from the very bottom of my heart I want to
THANK you dear loyal self-sacrificing Co-Workers for standing so
unselfishly and dependably with me through this past summer. I
know that many of you have done almost more than you could for
God's great work. And God's greatest blessing is on His work. It
is prospering and growing mightily. Still it seems our best
efforts are hardly enough to keep up with the necessary growth God
is granting us.
Our short summer is over. College starts on the
Ambassador campus NEXT MONDAY, August 24th. The largest freshman
class so far is on the way to Pasadena---some already have arrived.
My, I don't know how we are going to provide for all of them. We
are fast outgrowing our facilities here at the college. We are no
longer the smallest college in America. The college is growing
rapidly---but not rapidly enough to provide the needed laborers for
God's harvest!
Two of our three baptizing teams have returned, with a
big harvest of precious lives for God's Kingdom. One of them went
clear to the Atlantic coast baptizing people whose whole lives have
been CHANGED. The third team is still out, but expected back in a
few days. Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Marion McNair, who have spent
the summer at Oregon State Normal School making final preparations
for opening our own first primary school in the Tabernacle at
Gladewater, having finished their summer course of studies, are out
on a baptizing tour in Oregon and Washington, with some 40 people
awaiting baptism---all this in addition to the other three teams.
I have just returned from a quick one-day trip by plane
to the big Tabernacle near Gladewater, Texas. It is now TWICE as
big as last time I saw it---now 105 feet in width. The foundation
is laid for the room which is to serve as combination dining-
school-church room. No part of the structure is completed as yet,
but the roof is being laid over the wings of the main auditorium,
and, even though unfinished, the school room MUST be put up before
the Feast of Tabernacles or we will have no way to feed the people.
The ground is now cleared for the building of the little booths to
