Dear Co-Workers:
Frankly, and candidly, I'm wondering if there's any use
sending you this letter. At this moment it looks like it's too
late, anyway. I've told you I was not issuing any wolf-wolf cries.
It looks now as if I'll have to close up the great and precious
work of God completely before I can get this to you, or there's
even time for a response.
News from our business office today is that we are now being
put off of XEG and XELO because enough of you Co-Workers have not
responded enough to make it possible for us to get caught up with
them as they demand---as I wrote you in the last letter. We are
threatened with having to go off WLS.
I am scheduled for the next TV shooting beginning day after
tomorrow. We've learned a lot about TV. We're beginning to learn
now how to plan programs that will really grab the public interest
and bring a real response---but there's neither time, now, nor
money to make these next programs---IF I'm able to go ahead and
shoot them---as interesting and effective as we are learning to do.
We have now found where we can get almost any kind of motion
picture material we want to illustrate what I say on the programs
---especially news films. But without the money, we simply can't
go on. Right now there are HUNDREDS of large envelopes filled with
booklets, or The Plain Truth, addressed to NEW Television viewers
who have written in from the TV programs---just laying day after
day in our big mail room because THERE'S NO MONEY FOR POSTAGE TO
SEND THEM OUT!
I'm about as discouraged this minute as a man can get, and
still not give up. I called a day of FASTING and PRAYER for the
saving of the work, for as many as I could reach quickly,---all
over the country---for a week ago Sunday. But it seems most are
now too weary and drowsy spiritually to really put their HEARTS
into their prayers, or to pray passionately, earnestly, with
fervent ZEAL and FAITH---because when people pray like that, GOD
ALWAYS HEARS AND THE ANSWER PROVES IT. But there has been no
answer. None except that the receipt of money goes on down, and
down. It's now the first part of the month. This week-end should
have brought a big response for the week-end included the days of
mail posted the 1st thru the 4th and 5th of the month. Yesterday
was Labor Day, so we didn't get the mail until today, Tuesday. But
