written in such a manner that even children of around four or five
can UNDERSTAND IT, if their parents read it, and explain it as they
go along. And it is also written in such style that teen-agers
will really ENJOY it, and not feel it is too young for them--and
better still, ADULTS will greatly enjoy it, and I believe thousands
will get a clear UNDERSTANDING of the Bible, and of GOD'S PURPOSE
and PLAN such as they never had before! So, while it is primarily
written for ages 9 to 12, it is a marvelous thing for ALL AGES! It
is thrilling--exciting--gripping--interesting--and so PLAIN to
understand! It is TRUTH!
It is planned to later publish this as a book--or even
series of books, as it looks like it will be more than one book.
It will be profusely illustrated with Mr. Wolverton's drawings. I
hope we can start it with either the October or November issues.
So BE PATIENT JUST A LITTLE LONGER, and I think you will be over-
joyed with it. I think this means we shall have to begin
publishing a larger PLAIN TRUTH--possibly 32 pages instead of the
present 24 pages. PRAY for us that all this may be possible!
In closing, let me quote the words of Jesus: "My meat
(food) is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to ACCOMPLISH HIS
WORK. Say not ye that there are yet four months, and then cometh
the harvest? Lo, I say unto you, lift up your eyes, and look on
the fields, that they are white with harvest." (John 4:34-35,
Numeric translation). Jesus was speaking of the HARVEST OF SOULS
FOR GOD'S KINGDOM. He painted the picture as it is now--BUT, as we
read elsewhere in Scripture, the harvest is plenteous, BUT THE
LABORERS ARE FEW!
Satan has stricken down one of our very chiefest laborers,
for a duration until God completely restores him. But most of all,
GOD'S WORK NEEDS MORE CO-WORKER LABORERS WHO HELP WITH THEIR URGENT
HEART-RENDING PRAYERS, AND WITH THEIR TITHES AND GENEROUS
OFFERINGS, REGULARLY EVERY MONTH, OR EVEN EVERY WEEK.
Many of you CAN respond much better. SOME FEW of you are
able, if willing, to put in larger amounts, even up to a few
thousand dollars. BRETHREN AND CO-WORKERS, WILL YOU RALLY TO THIS
GREAT NEED?
Richard David is NOT yet out of danger by any means. As
I write tonight, his life still hangs in the balance and, except
for God's intervention, could suddenly go either way. His
condition is still extremely critical. HE NEEDS YOUR EARNEST AND
BELIEVING PRAYERS!
Today a man came to see him, who until about three months
ago was a completely paralyzed cripple, confined to a wheel chair
for seven years. He had not walked or had use of his left arm for
seven years. His terrible injury came in the Korean war. He was
in the 1st Division Marines. The best doctors and surgeons had
done all medical science could. He was crippled for life. Three
months ago, he came to my son Dick Armstrong for prayer. Dick
annointed him and prayed and asked God to heal him. Almost
instantly he was HEALED. He had to learn to walk all over again.
Now he almost leaps up stairs two steps at a time, and the left
