much the offerings, and tithes, you sent in HELPED. You SAVED THIS
WORK! We needed $3,000 over and above enough to carry current
week-by-week expenses. It didn't all come---in fact, only a little
over half of it---but it did tide us over for the time, and you who
responded can't know how much you helped, and I can't express to
you in words how full is my heart with thanks and gratitude.
Many wrote letters with their offerings showing how
concerned they were about the crisis in this work. It was a real
burden to them. I can't tell you in words how this concern touches
my heart, and how it encourages, and INSPIRES me, to know that
there are so many others who are truly BURDENED for this great
work, and so loyally standing back of me. I wish I could make you
know how I feel about it. Many of our Co-workers realize JESUS IS
COMING VERY SOON---that our time is short, and OUR RESPONSIBILITY
BEFORE GOD IS GREAT. I pray God's richest blessing upon you. He
knows our hearts, and His rewards will be far exceeding above any-
thing we can imagine.
You can't know how your good letters encourage and
inspire not only me, but the whole office staff. I pray for you
all daily. We pray especially for those who request prayer at our
weekly midweek prayer meeting here in Eugene. I would love to
answer all your questions personally, and have tried to, but just
been unable. If I devoted my entire time to nothing but answering
letters I could only answer a PART of the many I receive. It takes
five busy secretaries to handle our radio mail. But I do try to
read every letter that is personal, or asks questions, or is more
than a mere request, even tho I do not find time to answer them all
---tho I do answer all I possibly can.
By the way, I am now starting work on a task that has
been a desire very close to my heart for a long time. I plan to
prepare in series' of seven articles, or lessons, each, some 49 to
70 articles on various Bible subjects. They will be sent only upon
request, and only the first seven articles will be mailed first.
Then, if these have all been read and studied, and the reader
wishes to continue, the second series of seven more will be sent,
and so on until you will have had a COMPLETE BIBLE COURSE. It will
all be free, of course. These articles will answer most of the
questions our listeners ask. They are not yet prepared or ready.
It will be announced in The PLAIN TRUTH when they are ready for
distribution.
But, dear Co-workers, I must tell you now the crisis of
this moment is just about as serious as that of five weeks ago.
Our contract with station WHO expires with the broadcast of August
22nd. Unless God Himself intervenes in our behalf we shall not be
able to continue on this great super-power station after that date,
for the business manager of WHO favors those "RECOMMENDATIONS" I
have told you about. I feel he is sincere in it, but deceived.
Letters to the station would not help---would only do us harm. Do
not write them---but PRAY, please PRAY, and BELIEVE we shall have
the petition we ask of our heavenly Father. I am starting East in
ten days. If God intervenes so we continue another year on WHO, I
hope to add station WJJD, Chicago this trip. If not, I will try to
add another 50,000-watt nationally-clear-channel station. There
