STILL CAN GET THE TRUTH TO THE PEOPLE--but we must HURRY--there's
NO TIME TO LOSE--and OUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED!
OUR NEW POLICY
In view of what I have learned on this trip, I have
decided upon a radical change of policy. Incidentally, I heard in
New York, though I have not yet had opportunity to verify it from
Hollywood, that the local network is now closed to any more
religious programs, and even that network, heretofore open to
religious programs, is now falling in line with the policy of the
other networks and larger stations. Too bad, isn't it, that these
stations will consider half-crazy slap-stick, wise-cracking, slang
programs designed to induce more millions of our young boys and
GIRLS to smoke cigarettes as "IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST," while they
claim that is "IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST" they are eliminating Gospel
programs! Can God Almighty bless such a nation?
The new policy is this: FIRST, above all, heretofore I
have been stressing the broadcasts and adding of more stations at
the expense of The PLAIN TRUTH, and consequently have had to some
what neglect The PLAIN TRUTH. We have been unable to get it out
often as I wish. It has never been a monthly magazine, but I do
feel that it should come out at least bi-monthly now, and, as soon
as possible, EVERY MONTH.
I want our co-workers to understand it is utterly
IMPOSSIBLE to get out the PLAIN TRUTH every month at present. We
have never yet had the funds for this. It is now costing over
$1,000 per issue. The present number is consuming A TON AND A HALF
of paper! The postage alone, on our special permit rate, will cost
$330.00. It is a huge task.
I'm sure not one in a hundred of our co-workers even
DREAMS how MUCH we have been accomplishing with HOW LITTLE. We
have had to make a little money go a long ways--reach a lot of
people--do a great amount of good. Mrs. Armstrong and I have had
to work almost day and night without let-up for ten years. I'm
sure we'd have much more money with which to conduct this work if
I would only consent to COMMERCIALIZE this work by ASKING FOR MONEY
over the air--and ASKING for it in The PLAIN TRUTH. I never do
either and I never shall, because it is not God's way. When I make
the needs of God's work known to you in the BULLETIN, and impress
upon you your solemn DUTY before God to sacrifice to the utmost
for His work, I am addressing that appeal ONLY to those who have
voluntarily of their own accord and free will, started having a
part in this work by sending voluntary offerings, or tithes. You
are among the limited and precious number, or you would not be
receiving and now reading this BULLETIN.
No one can know how disappointed I have been not to have
been able to get out The PLAIN TRUTH more often. I have just done
the best I could. I have done my utmost. I have tried to do a LOT
with a LITTLE.
God has now provided for this work two men, specially
