spoke to my mind, He did then and showed me that HE opened this
door, and if we TRUST HIM in faith, He will supply the need. But
right now it hangs by the slenderest thread. Every week it looks
like we will not have money to go on the following week. We MUST
NOT CLOSE THIS MIGHTY DOOR, which is reaching MILLIONS of
additional people whom we were not reaching with Christ's Gospel
before! WE CAN, AND MUST, CARRY ON!
I have to tell you, now! God's work is in DESPERATE
DANGER! Yes, this supreme trial and test comes AT THE VERY HOUR OF
GREATEST OPPORTUNITY GOD EVER OPENED! Just when God has OPENED THE
DOOR of the greatest transcontinental radio net-work which will
accept religious broadcasting---just when God has opened the door
to ALL EUROPE---just when God has ANSWERED YOUR PRAYERS AND MINE,
and opened the door once again for EVERY NIGHT time on the greatest
station in North America, XEG,---just here we come to a season and
a condition when the whole work is IN GRAVE DANGER!
Now listen, CO-WORKERS! There are ENOUGH of us, to whom
I am addressing this letter, that if YOU---each and every one of
you---will OPEN YOUR HEARTS, as God has opened the doors for us,
and each stretch just a little farther to GIVE JUST A LITTLE MORE
TO CHRIST for HIS PRECIOUS WORK than ever before, we can hurdle
over this supreme trial and test, and the Work of God can go on to
overwhelming victory and glory, and when Jesus comes we may hear
Him say to us. "WELL DONE, thou good and faithful servants!"
Oh, friends and Co-Workers, of all the blessings,
rewards, accomplishments, acquisitions, or anything else my mind
can possibly think of that I might WANT more than anything else, it
is to hear the very voice of Jesus, Himself, say to me, when He
comes, "WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT!" I am willing to
give up EVERYTHING in this material world for THAT! Aren't YOU?
Five years ago this work faced, at this very season, the
greatest financial crisis from its beginning until this present
one. We had been off XEG that year, like this, from April on. It
looked like we were going to lose the college property, our office
building for the headquarters of this great work, and have to go
off the air. DO YOU REMEMBER,---I asked ALL you Co-Workers to send
in AT LEAST the widows' two mites---I asked for a great DOWNPOUR of
two-dollar, or even one-dollar offerings---and for all those who
were able, to send in one, two, or three thousand dollars each.
I shall NEVER forget how you Co-Workers let God soften
your hearts, and how nobly and generously you responded! I have
never stopped thanking GOD for it, and I never shall. By the
THOUSANDS, letters came in containing one or two dollars each---
yes, the DOWNPOUR of widows' mites CAME, and it counted up to
thousands of dollars! Without all those small amounts coming from
people who could not send more, we never could have saved this
work. On the other hand, there were not even then enough of them,
and a small number of people who were more able sent in one
thousand, and up to three thousand dollars each. And the hundreds
of others who sent in $10, $50, $100, and $500, and other amounts
in between, PUT US OVER---IT WAS A BLESSED M I R A C L E ---and
the work of God was saved!
