could meet, and see, and visit, and study the Bible with ALL of our
co-workers and interested listeners. Most of us, perhaps, can
never meet in this world and this life. But we can have fellowship
together through Christ, just the same as we can WORK TOGETHER,
and PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER.

The PLAIN TRUTH UNAVOIDABLY DELAYED
The PLAIN TRUTH was almost ready for the press when I had
to leave on this trip. Before leaving I made arrangements for
having this number and all others from now on, mailed by
professional mailers from Portland--so the entire edition can be
mailed within three or four days after delivery IF we have the
$330.00 on hand to pay Uncle Sam for postage.
I'll simply have to ask all our Co-workers to UNDERSTAND
and to bear with me, and uphold my hands, and to respond
IMMEDIATELY again, and GENEROUSLY, with the largest offerings you
can possibly sacrifice to send, to keep this great and growing work
GOING, and insure this PLAIN TRUTH being mailed promptly as soon
as the printer can deliver the finished copies. With God's
blessing, and your help you ought to receive your copy within about
two weeks from the time you receive this BULLETIN.
The big order of paper is all paid for, and delivered, a
full ton and a half of paper. We saved $85.00 by using a slightly
thinner paper this time, and by paying spot cash in advance for a
special deal offered us. BUT THERE WILL BE TWO PAGES MORE in
this issue than the last.
HEART TO HEART TALK
Never before did I realize so fully how the prophesied
general conditions of the end-time, just prior to Christ's return,
are being fulfilled. More than ever I have been impressed that
whatever work we are to do for Christ and the Kingdom of God must
be done quickly--which means WE MUST TAKE GOD'S WORK SERIOUSLY--
must make greater sacrifices for it--must redouble our efforts.
This whole world--including our country, and the very community
in which YOU, and each of us lives, is in far more grave and
serious condition than we have had any conception.
If you could just see the trend, as I've come to see it
over the entire country, Coast to Coast, and could thus, with the
certain knowledge of prophecy applied to this present trend look
from two to five or ten years into the future, I'm quite sure
you'd be FRIGHTENED! Few realize where we are headed! We are
putting everything else FIRST in our lives, most of us--people
are making more money then ever before, and trying to enjoy the
spending of it, and seeking pleasure and luxury in this time of
war and world chaos. But if you could really SEE what is going
on--where we are headed--what will happen to us these next two
to five years--you'd certainly put THE KINGDOM OF GOD, and His
Righteousness, FIRST above all else in your life from this minute
on. If only ALL our co-workers could realize this serious solemn
