with 6-foot porch, with 8 single beds, or cots (double-deck),
accommodating 8 in one family -- all other specifications the same
as the smaller buildings, renting for $75 for the duration of the
Festival.
REMEMBER -- if you desire to rent one of these, you should pay
the rental OUT OF YOUR OWN SECOND TITHE which you are saving to pay
your expenses to the Feast. This cannot be paid out of first
tithe, which is for Christ's Gospel work -- nor from special
offerings for the big Tabernacle, or other regular offerings for
the Gospel work. This is money you would spend anyway -- probably
at motels near Gladewater or Longview. It does not cost you
anything extra. Sixty dollar rental for six people for the eight
or ten days is certainly less than motel charges. It does not cost
the CHURCH anything, because we have worked out an arrangement,
where these rentals will pay for the buildings in ten years,
mortgaging only the booths -- but not the ground or our present
property! Thus you help the Church to buy and own these booths
with money you would spend anyway! The deal is not, at this
writing, 100% final -- but if you want to rent one, send in the
rental charge out of your SECOND TITHE by return mail, specifying
plainly what it is for. If the deal is not completed your money
will be refunded.
Now REMEMBER -- this special booth rental CANNOT come out of
first tithe, or regular offerings, or special offering for the
Tabernacle fund. Neither, on the other hand, can you send any of
your SECOND tithe money for the Tabernacle fund. Erecting this big
new housing district of 300 small one-room booth-houses on our
grounds cannot take from the Tabernacle fund or from the regular
Gospel work.
Finally, brethren, I call on you in Jesus' name to PRAY -- to
SACRIFICE -- to rededicate your life to GOD'S cause, to remember
God calls us HOLY Brethren -- and we must LIVE UP TO IT! WE MUST
RAISE THAT FULL $18,000 per month from now on! We must NOT let the
precious Gospel Message go OFF THE AIR because we do not keep up
Tabernacle offerings! We must NOT leave A WHOLE THOUSAND BRETHREN
OUTSIDE, unable to get in, for the meetings next October! WE MUST
RAISE THIS $18,000 PER MONTH!
With love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
