truth, God's work surely would not have to struggle along, crippled
by insufficient funds to carry it forth in great power. Instead,
it would LEAP ahead, with ample of everything it might need!
Dear Co-workers, have we been asleep? Have we been
thinking of OURSELVES too much? Have we been begrudging God what
little has been trickling into His work--feeling that God's work
ought not to need our "charity" all the time? God doesn't need
your money, but you certainly NEED HIM, and we can't have His
blessings and His protection in the hard and perilous days just
ahead if we are unfaithful toward Him in the stewardship of
material things He has placed in our hands! It's certainly time
we took this very seriously.
I have found that powerful forces are at work, far more
than I realized before, bent on destroying God's TRUTH so far as
facilities for proclaiming it by radio and in print are concerned.
They are engineered, without realizing it, by Satan the Devil. He
is not asleep! HE is not indifferent! HE knows full well that he
has but a SHORT TIME--and he is multiplying HIS efforts furiously
to STOP the preaching of TRUTH which God says shall be preached,
NOW!
Yet, we shall not be shut off until we have had full
opportunity to accomplish God's mission and purpose commissioned
to us to perform! Satan is ruler of his world--he directs powerful
forces. BUT, God still reigns in high Heaven, and rules the
universe and what God wants done Satan shall be restrained from
preventing! He cannot stop us until God's mission through us is
completed! But there is no time to lose! The time has come for us
to WAKE UP, fully. To take this more seriously than we ever took
anything in our lives. It's more important than our very lives.

Again, I find that money is slacking off, and far less
coming in daily again now, than our daily expense for this work.
And while we already have advanced a few hundred dollars toward the
printing bill, the printing and mailing will take nearly another
thousand.
Radio station bills must be paid every week. The members
of our staff in the office work hard, and must be paid their salary
every week. The servant is worthy of his hire. It costs money to
conduct so large a work, carrying the Gospel to nearly a million
people every week! This has become a GREAT work--a work of
national and international influence and power.
WE DARE NO LET DOWN--even for one week. The situation is
again critically SERIOUS. Let us not become weary with well-doing.
If we stop the work stops. WE CANNOT STOP!
I feel sure that many of our co-workers can sacrifice a
great deal more than has been done--if only we realize how SERIOUS
is this time and this situation--how URGENT is the need--how VITAL
