there was only about as much for the four days as we ought to get
for three days in the middle of the month---NOTHING like we usually
get the early part of the month. The last days of last month had
dropped down so much it completely took all the heart out of me I
had left. This, I know, is not an encouraging letter. It's pretty
hard, dear Co-Workers, for me to keep encouraging YOU, in the face
of the crushing load I carry and what I see we now face. It's come
to the place that if you can't encourage ME, we can't carry on.
This is my LAST APPEAL, and it's mighty DESPERATE! In the
name and by the AUTHORITY of Jesus Christ, I call on EVERY ONE OF
YOU whose hearts are in the WORK OF GOD, to FAST AND PRAY for one
day, on receipt of this letter---and if EVER you put your whole
HEART into your prayers, DO IT NOW! I personally know of several,
right at this crisis, who are DESERTING GOD and HIS WORK, turning
completely away from it! As Jesus said to His disciples, when so
many turned from him, will YOU, too, go away and desert Him now?
Maybe it isn't GOD'S WORK about to lose out---could it be YOU?
Sincerely in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
