The service will, therefore, be held as planned, but under proper
supervision and authority.
Dick is arranging to remain in Laramie for the feast on
Wednesday night, and for an all day meeting on Thursday, the annual
holy day, for all of you who are able to remain over for those
services, or to come back.
These are mighty solemn and trying days, brethren. We are all
being tried now as never before. We face the biggest problem since
the work started, here at headquarters. Television is ensnaring
the time and the minds and the interest of so many of OUR
CO-WORKERS that the future of the work is in its gravest danger.
NEVER have we needed your loyalty, your prayers, and your
co-operation and encouragement as now. We are trying to do all we
can for YOU. We have put the program on KOA, the biggest station
in your section, and hope later to go on it EVERY NIGHT. And we,
in return, need YOUR most loyal and faithful co-operation and
encouragement. Eternity is at state for all of us! This is a time
for us all to STAND TOGETHER, and to be OBEDIENT to every Word of
God, in THE WAY He has outlined for us. We should have established
a regular church for you people locally long before this, had not
certain complications arisen that prevented. We are still striving
to work toward this end. I hope you brethren will remain loyal,
and HUMBLE, and PATIENT, until this can be affected---for otherwise
you will defeat your own purpose and NEVER have a real Church of
God in your locality. God bless you all.
With love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
P. S. Be sure to bring a towel and if possible a wash basin for the
