but if too many try to camp on the grounds, there will not be
enough wash, shower, and toilet facilities. It would cost more
than $50,000 just to provide sanitary plumbing facilities alone,
for all the people we expect at this great Festival in two weeks.
We may be able to provide enough for some 50 or 60 people---so, as
instructed below, GET IN A RESERVATION if you expect to camp in a
tent or bring a trailer-house. DO NOT EXPECT TO CAMP ON THE
GROUNDS UNLESS YOU FIRST GET A RESERVATION. We are doing our level
best to take care of as many as possible.
Now listen, brethren! Mr. Roy Hammer just called me and
told me we absolutely HAVE to raise and send over at least $10,000
more IN THE NEXT WEEK, or the contractor cannot have even the big
Tabernacle building far enough along for this Festival!
The Festival is just TWO WEEKS AWAY---we are UNDER
PRESSURE---it is now the FINAL, URGENT CRISIS---We simply HAVE to
raise this money! I know many of you have done almost more than
you could. But somehow we now simply MUST make one last MIGHTY
SACRIFICE to put this over the top. Some whom I feel sure would
have sent in two or three thousand dollars or more each have had
reverses and had their incomes cut in two this year, and simply
could not do it. IS THERE NOT SOMEONE ELSE WHO COULD PUT IN A
REALLY BIG SUM---one, two, or five thousand dollars? It is now a
dire need. GOD WILL BLESS YOU for your sacrifice and generosity.
And ALL THE REST OF YOU---send in a SHOWER of offerings---if only
one or two dollars, or ten or thirty or a hundred---just whatever
you are able. Every single dollar counts BIG just now. Single
dollars alone would build it IF THERE WERE ENOUGH OF THEM. Don't
think any amount is too small---SEND IT. But if you can send more,
do so!
Many hundreds of GOD'S PEOPLE are now making last-minute
plans to attend this greatest Festival of Tabernacles since the
days of the early Apostles!
Yes, THINK OF IT! This will be the greatest Festival of
Tabernacles since the early Church in the days of the Apostles!
Every real child of God---every member of HIS Church---will want to
be sure to be there! Enthusiasm is already generating for it!
This, too, will be the first one where we will have a number of
ordained ministers---elders who are evangelists and pastors in
God's Church. GOD'S CHURCH IS FAST GROWING IN THESE VERY LAST
DAYS!
