brethren! Let's put it this way: If EVERY member would send in
only 50 cents per day for this special Building fund, it would be
enough to meet the payments---$3.50 per week per person. But some
cannot send that much for each member of their family, and so
others MUST send in more than that or there won't be any
Tabernacle. Put another way, it is going to cost a total of $35.
per seat. If there are two in the family, that family's quota is
$70. If five in the family (including children, for they occupy
seats) that family's quota is $175. But even though we have until
next January to meet this, in regular monthly payments, many
families of that size are simply unable to contribute that much.
I REALIZE THAT. Yet these families MUST COME! Others who are
better able MUST make up the difference. THIS MEANS THAT THE FEW
OF YOU who are able to contribute a special $5000 or $1000, or even
$500, are going to have to be willing to do it, or we cannot have
the Tabernacle. It means that if you can only scrape up an
additional $l. or $2. per month, in addition to tithes and your
regular offerings, YOU MUST DO IT, or we can't build the
Tabernacle. IN OTHER WORDS, EVERY ONE MUST DO WHATEVER HE IS ABLE.
Those who have more must give more---those who have less MUST give
even that small amount, never thinking it is too little to help.
Second tithe cannot be used for this building fund.
IF THE RESPONSE IS IMMEDIATE---RETURN AIR-MAIL---AND LARGE
ENOUGH---and, IF you keep it up week by week and month by month, we
can go ahead---but, THIS IS THE LAST CALL---otherwise I shall have
to DISGRACE God's Church by breaking my word and agreement with the
builders. CAN'T WE DO AS THE ISRAELITES DID UNDER MOSES? PRAY
EARNESTLY OVER THIS!
With love in Jesus' name.
