One year ago the door of a great major radio Network was
opened to us. For a year now we have struggled, and endured the
"tight squeeze," to keep up financially and stay on the Network.
Somehow, by the sustaining providence of God, and the faithfulness
and sacrifices of you Co-Workers, we have been enabled to hold on
and survive. Time after time it appeared we would have to go off
the Network. The many thousands and thousands of new listeners had
not been hearing Christ's very own Message long enough, as yet, to
join you as Co-Workers. But I have known, and have told you all
along, that in due time they would. For a long time these NEW
listeners, mostly from parts of the country we never reached
before, were contributing about 5% of the actual cost of the
Network broadcast each week. Then 10%. And now, just these past
three or four weeks, more and more of them have begun voluntarily,
of their own accord, to join us. Now they are sending us between
25% and 33% of the actual cost of the broadcast. BUT THAT DOESN'T
MEAN WE CAN LET UP OUR PART---rather, now, we must stretch to the
greatest effort of our lives! We must now sacrifice and strive as
NEVER BEFORE. We have now reached the crucial TURNING-POINT!
Here are the STUPENDOUS facilities God is now opening
before us.
The first TREMENDOUS door God seems about to open is right
here in America. Listen carefully! Most of you Co-Workers know
that people receive the precious TRUTH far, far more effectively
when they hear the broadcast EVERY NIGHT, or every day, than when
they hear it only once a week.
All right, LISTEN! We reach thousands upon thousands of
listeners EVERY night on such super-power stations as XEG, XELO,
and XERB. But what you may not have fully realized is this: XEG is
heard pretty well, and without much interference in most localities
in the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and
Mississippi. This big station is heard, but with increasing
interference, as we get farther north and east. But when we come
to Missouri, especially the northern part, and Illinois, Indiana,
Tennessee and Kentucky, Ohio, etc., it is not heard so plainly, and
interference increases, and we have fewer and fewer listeners.
When we get into Iowa (where WHO, Des Moines interferes), and
northern Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, northern
Indiana, Ohio, XEG is heard very poorly, and so is XELO---and we
have had very few listeners in this great, vast, populous middle-
west farm belt.
Well now I believe God is opening the BIGGEST door in all
this most important territory---the one station listened to by more
farmers and probably by more people than any other station in
America---the great Prairie Farmer station in Chicago, WLS, at 890
on your dial. A few weeks ago WLS offered us the MOST valuable
time of the whole week---8:30 Sunday nights, Central time. The
WORLD TOMORROW has now been going out over this powerful WLS, not
only at 11:30 Sunday morning on the Network, but also at 8:30
Sunday nights, for the past few weeks.
But here's the BIG NEWS! This great Chicago station is now
considering the matter of opening their very important station time
