ahead. BUT---our members seemed to have LAID DOWN ON THE JOB! The
special offerings for this building fund have dropped off to less
than one fourth of the amount needed each month! WHAT SHALL I DO?
---Shall I now STOP all work, and lose the $30,000 already paid?
WORK CANNOT PROCEED UNLESS YOU BRETHREN GET BACK ON THE JOB DOING
YOUR PART. If you quit, we have to quit building! REMEMBER---we
have to put forth EXTRA effort---make EXTRA sacrifices! These
special offerings must be IN ADDITION to regular tithes and
offerings, which must go for radio bills, college bills, and
ministry expenses.
After my last letter, two months ago, these special EXTRA
offerings for the Tabernacle fund continued some two or three weeks
according to quota. Then they began to drop off.
PLEASE DON'T GET TO THINKING WE DON'T NEED THE MONEY ANY
LONGER, UNLESS I KEEP PRODDING ALL OF YOU WITH LETTERS! We shall
need to keep up this quota for the Building Fund at least until
next January or February. Meanwhile, I have had to COMPLETELY STOP
all work on remodeling our new office building, and the new
classroom building on the campus, Ambassador Hall. WE WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO USE THEM AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FALL TERM OF SCHOOL. But
we MUST begin work on them as soon as the Tabernacle is completed,
for we have outgrown our facilities here at college just as much as
we have over at Gladewater. So we shall need these special
BUILDING FUND offerings every week---every month---on into next
spring or summer!
Today, just before starting for Texas, I have been going
over student applications for enrollment this fall in Ambassador
College. We will be taking in our BIGGEST FRESHMAN CLASS SO FAR.
We now have 32 men and 22 girls either fully or conditionally
accepted. We can still accept a few more girl students. ANY GIRLS
EXPECTING TO COME SHOULD RUSH THEIR APPLICATION BLANKS TO THE
REGISTRAR'S OFFICE---or write air-mail at once for application
blanks if they do not already have them.
EVERY PHASE OF THIS WORK IS GROWING---but we DO need a still
bigger increase in funds for the work. BRETHREN, PLEASE PRAY THAT
GOD WILL PROSPER OUR MEMBERS AND CO-WORKERS, AND THEN MOVE THEIR
HEARTS TO GIVE MORE! Let's all get back of this with ENTHUSIASM
and ZEAL! God is blessing the work abundantly. Scores are being
baptized this summer! Let's try harder to do OUR part. Don't
forget to pray for Dr. Meredith in his great loss of his wife. I
know all your hearts go out to him, as do ours here. PRAY FOR ONE
ANOTHER! PRAY FOR THE WORK!
With much love, in Jesus' name,
