(Constantinople), Turkey, then to Athens, and to visit Corinth,
then Rome once more, then London, where we are to hold a campaign
of nightly meetings, sailing for home on the Queen Mary the middle
of July.
MEANWHILE---and FINALLY---world conditions are WORSENING,
not getting better. We've seen the Germans everywhere over in this
Middle East---preparing for the day when THEY, at the head of the
resurrected Roman Empire, shall rule over this land---for a while.
OUR TIME GROWS SHORTER DAILY, for finishing the Great Work of God!
We see people here at Jerusalem, worshipping they know not what---
material relics of supposed sacred events---PROFESSING Christ, but
IN TOTAL IGNORANCE OF HIS GOSPEL.
Jesus had compassion on these ignorant multitudes. We
have been moved with that same compassion.
CO-WORKERS, I realize as never before the MOMENTOUS task
before us. This GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM---Christ's own Message MUST
go, more powerfully than ever, to ALL THE WORLD. We are NOT
reaching this Middle East as yet. WE MUST! We must dedicate
ourselves anew, with renewed zeal, to the great task. I see these
ignorant, superstitious people, SO REVERENT and DEVOUT in their
worship of material THINGS!
WHY, Oh, WHY is it, dear Co-Workers, that we, who have
the precious knowledge of the TRUTH, and God's TRUE WAY, and the
gift of the very LIFE and POWER of the Holy Spirit of God, are so
lukewarm---so LACKING in that devout, reverent, worshipful ZEAL
and even fanaticism, which I see in these ignorant, misled,
deceived people living in true spiritual darkness?
Can't we WAKE UP?
Can't we rally stronger than ever to the greatest CAUSE
ever commissioned to any people? I know from sorrowful experience
that, unless you keep hearing from me, MANY of you will let up your
effort, and totally neglect the precious WORK OF GOD!
Must the Work of God suffer, or even have to stop,
because God has called His servant over here for necessary
television pictures, for a spiritual rejuvenation, for new
knowledge to form part of the Gospel Message? Remember, while
God called Moses away from the people, up into the mount with God,
the people said, "As for this Moses, we wot not what has become of
him. Come on, let's make us idols to worship---let's forsake the
true God."
Brethren, Co-Workers, YOU MUST NOT BE LIKE THAT TODAY!
Not only is the precious work of God almost continuously in a
DESPERATE financial condition, but your very own personal salvation
is also at stake. For YOUR sake, I implore you, IN JESUS' PRECIOUS
NAME, arouse yourself, and remain DILIGENT, and FAITHFUL, to any
amount of sacrifice. Keep PRAYING, earnestly, continually, with
YOUR WHOLE HEART, for the work. Keep praying for ME. I am under
continual temptation you know nothing about, and only the POWER OF
GOD can keep me, and I personally need your prayers! And keep
