Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
This is my first letter to you this year. I have been
delayed ten days in writing it. NOW I AM COMPELLED TO DROP EVERY-
THING AND RUSH OUT THIS LETTER--because the situation now has
become desperate!
WHY do so many Co-Workers let down, forget, or neglect
unless they receive an urgent letter from me? WHY must the great
WORK OF GOD suffer from this careless neglect?
But entirely aside from the urgent NECESSITY of the moment,
I have so much to tell you about developments in this great and
growing work of God, that I'm glad of the opportunity.
First let me say that, to write this letter, I have been
called out of the annual conference session of all our ministers
and evangelists from all parts of the United States. All are here
but two and those two started our latest evangelistic campaign last
night in London, England. I have a cablegram from them reporting
good interest in last night's first meeting of the campaign.
Also meeting with us, in combined session, are our
teachers. In today's session the problem being discussed is the
teaching of the Bible to children of school age--all the way from
the first grade.
YOU, PARENTS of young children, will be intensely
interested in this: We have decided that in connection with
teaching the little children we need to produce a NEW KIND of BIBLE
STORY BOOK for little children. For years I have had this very
thing in mind. The way never opened up before to produce it. Now
definite action is being taken to produce this book with all speed,
NOT like all the books already printed and sold in the stores; NOT
merely relating stories of blood and thunder, with no real meaning,
and no connection one with the other, or with the Gospel or God's
PURPOSE and PLAN.
The purpose of this book--or series of books as it probably
will become--is to make God REAL to little children--to give them
understanding, in a manner adapted to their age-level, of God's
PURPOSE, and of the real meaning and principles of LIFE.
Committees are being appointed on which will be teachers of
