Dear Co-Workers in God's Work:
Never has our faith been so severely tried. This financial
"tight squeeze" not only is still on---it is squeezing harder than
ever before. Physical APPEARANCES make the situation look
hopeless!
LISTEN! I have to ask every one of you to take this to
heart.
On the one hand, a flood of wonderful, heart-warming
letters pouring in daily from radio listeners and PLAIN TRUTH
readers from all parts of the world, that make our hearts leap for
joy as we read of precious lives being changed---the glorious light
of God's TRUTH being received by multitudes all around the earth.
At last, after 18« centuries, the same Gospel Jesus preached going
out in great power around the world. Again, I shall copy, below,
a scattered few of these letters selected at random.
But on the other hand....
A long distance telephone call from the agent of two of the
super-power Mexican stations that carry the Mighty Gospel Message
to all North America every night, threatening to put us off the air
because we are not keeping up with payments for radio time.
Our business manager comes to me discouraged and depressed,
saying he just can't keep up---there is not enough money coming in
to keep this great and mighty work afloat---he has been unable to
write out salary checks for our staff---another issue of The PLAIN
TRUTH has been lying at the printing plant, all printed, but
undelivered because he cannot write the check to complete paying
for this issue---and already we have had to skip one issue this
year, and now have had to plan to skip another, due to insufficient
funds. He tells me he simply cannot keep on paying for the net-
work broadcast unless we have a sizeable increase in money received
IMMEDIATELY.
"There's no use hiding our eyes from the facts," he said to
me. "This whole work is on the way down and OUT, unless our
Co-Workers---or MORE of them---can be made to realize how serious
it is, and come to the rescue AT ONCE. I'm going farther behind in
paying bills every week."
