COMMANDED, FOR GOD TO SEND FORTH MORE LABORERS---those supplying
the day-to-day and week-to-week finances, as well as God-called,
trained and consecrated ministers.
THANK YOU, dear Co-Workers for your regular and loyal and
generous part in this great work of God. We must PRESS ON as never
before! GOD BLESS YOU!
Sincerely, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
P.S.
ABOUT THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES: Since we cannot have our own
housing facilities provided for this Festival, unless God by a
miracle makes a large sum of money available, (in which case I will
notify you by letter), I must now give you instructions as to
housing. Most of you will have to find an auto court or motel
along the Highway---Highway 80. There are two or three of these
near Gladewater, about 9 miles east of the Tabernacle. There are
more between Gladewater and Longview, farther east. There are a
large number of motels and courts in and near Longview. Rates
vary---from inexpensive courts up to luxurious new motels. Then
there is the Longview Hotel. There is also a hotel at Big Sandy,
only two miles west of Tabernacle---old and not of good appearance,
but I am informed it is kept clean in the rooms. A limited number
may bring trailer-houses or tents, but DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU
WRITE AND GET WRITTEN RESERVATION FROM US, as we are definitely
limited on toilet, bath, and wash-room accommodations. The rest-
rooms already built in the Tabernacle will accommodate a limited
number, and up to this number first to apply will get the
reservations. We have plenty of space, but not enough sanitary
facilities. CAUTION: While God commands every child of His to
attend the Festival of Tabernacles, it is for God's people ONLY.
It is NOT a place to bring the unconverted in the hope of getting
them "interested." ONLY members of the Church of God and
Co-Workers whose hearts are in this work and those in HARMONY with
God's Truth as you hear it on The WORLD TOMORROW broadcast and read
it in our publications should come, but where it is desirable to
bring some other member of your own family, not a member or
co-worker, they will certainly be made warmly welcome provided they
are not antagonistic toward the Truth as we preach it.
