Dear Brethren in Christ:
GREETINGS, in the name of Jesus Christ, the living Head of our
Church! This SPECIAL LETTER contains important announcements and
instructions about the coming PASSOVER and Days of Unleavened
Bread! Be sure to read every word---and especially read carefully
the sections pertaining to the areas nearest you!
This year, the Passover comes on the date of April 11th,
corresponding to Nisan the 14th of the Sacred Calendar. Of course,
it is at the beginning of Nisan 14th, which means the evening of
the 10th of April. Make SURE you remember this date---even writing
it down, or carrying this letter with you! PASSOVER, the evening
of April 10th, 1960, and the FEAST begins the following evening, or
the night of April 11th! Check the area you plan to attend for
time and place.
God willing, Mrs. Armstrong and I, accompanied by our son,
Garner Ted and his family, will be at the big tabernacle near Big
Sandy, Texas again this year. We fully expect the largest
attendance in the history of God's Church for this age!
Brethren---I wonder if we fully appreciate the TREMENDOUS
significance of this commanded Feast of God? I find that only a
very few have written requesting one of our booth-houses on our own
grounds for this Spring Feast, and only a few letters have been

or reservations. Are there some in God's own Church who are going
to DISOBEY God---NOT attending this commanded assembly this Spring?
This is the most solemn spiritual Feast of the year---the beginning
of God's sacred year, and the picture of the BEGINNING of the plan
of salvation. It is not only vitally important that ALL of God's
people attend this sacred service, but IT IS COMMANDED!
God has blessed us with more and more local Churches. He has
provided ample facilities on the Tabernacle grounds. Now---no
matter where you may live in the nation, there will be PASSOVER
SERVICES held within, at the most, a few hundred miles from your
home! There may be a few exceptions to this, of course, but only
a few. I wonder if there are some of you reading this important
letter who had already, through negligence, disinterest, or
spiritual carelessness, decided NOT TO ATTEND this Passover season?
I surely HOPE not! God says "And this day shall be unto you for a
