for The WORLD TOMORROW on E V E R Y N I G H T, except Saturday
night, at this same most listened-to time, 8:30 EVERY NIGHT!
NEVER has any station of this high caliber and importance
opened its super-power facilities for EVERY NIGHT broadcasting for
a FULL HALF HOUR to any religious broadcasting before!
I have just come from Chicago, where our Advertising Agent
and myself spent a good part of two days with the Vice-president
and general manager, and the sales manager of this great station.
This great BIG all-important door has not yet swung wide open to
us---but it's being seriously considered---and I feel the door is
partly opened, and God has His foot in it, and Co-Workers, IF WE
ALL JOIN IN FERVENT PRAYER that God will cause them to decide in
our favor and OPEN that door, I feel sure it will open. The Sales
Manager of the station shook his head gravely, saying, "You know,
a thing like this has never been done before---it would break all
precedent. We've NEVER had a religious program on the station week
nights---no important 50,000-watt station ever has, so far as I
know. It's pretty hard for us to come to a decision like this."
PRAY for it, brethren and Co-Workers! I NEED YOUR EARNEST,
PREVAILING PRAYERS! Ask God to turn the minds of these radio
station officials to open their great facilities to GOD'S MESSAGE.
Pray that God will bless them and their station for so doing! ---
and I know He will. If this door is opened, it will mean that WLS
will take up where XEG and XELO leave off, and the millions of
people all over this great Middle-West will be able to hear the
program CLEARLY every night except Saturday. And THINK OF THIS---
God has already provided a way to pay for it the first three and a
half months. When we passed the first year mark on the ABC
Network, we had earned a rebate of enough to pay for WLS every
night broadcasting for 3« months---and 3« months of EVERY NIGHT
broadcasting will bring enough NEW Co-Workers to join us to pay the
expense from then on! ISN'T THAT POSITIVELY PROVIDENTIAL? God has
surely never forsaken His great work! Let US never forsake it!
Now, in addition---still for the United States---facilities
are opening which will allow us to cover the entire United States,
and every corner of it, with good strong clear radio reception
EVERY NIGHT---IN EVERY SECTION. I have just talked to the manager
of WWVA, Wheeling, W. Va.---near Pittsburgh. That is one of the
strongest, most listened-to stations in America---50,000 watts. It
thoroughly covers all of eastern Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, all
New England states, West Virginia, and all other Atlantic Coast
states as far as North Carolina. This station will broadcast our
program at 11 or 11:05 PM Sunday nights beginning our 21st
anniversary broadcast January 2nd. The manager told me he may,
later, be able to clear an earlier time EVERY NIGHT for us.
Station WRVA, the great 50,000-watt station of Richmond, Va., which
thoroughly reaches all the middle and South Atlantic states at
night-time, probably also will open up an EVERY NIGHT time for us,
later. We cannot afford it now. But these tremendous facilities
are opening to us.
Recently, the headquarters of the great NBC Network in
Rockefeller Center, New York---the very headquarters that brought
