Dear Co-Workers with CHRIST:
I have returned from England to find our business office in a
most serious and alarming situation. This is not pleasant, but I'm
going to have to take you into my confidence and tell you candidly
the state of affairs in God's great work, and ask your immediate
help, to the limit of your ability, and also your SERIOUS and most
EARNEST prayers for the work.
This morning we face an emergency dilemma that would bring
discouragement, frustration, and fright to the stoutest heart--if
we did not have FAITH in God, and in JESUS CHRIST, our living Head
and active Leader!
The men in our business office had not let me know, before, of
the true state of affairs. They didn't want to worry me or take my
mind off other responsibilities of this great work. They thought
we would work out of it very soon, anyway. But it is going to take
some real sacrificing, and DOING on the part of all of us to work
out of it. We are going to have to put God's work FIRST, above
everything else in OUR lives. I am going to have to pull our big
two-page message out of the farm papers for a while. Capper's
Farmer is suspending publication. We had planned to continue these
vital messages in two other publications--but now I must cancel
that. I may have to cancel out some important radio stations for
a while. We have to REALLY "tighten our belts" and make sacrifices
--and PRAY--until we do work out of this situation.
I am not the Head of this work--JESUS CHRIST is! I am not your
top Leader in it--CHRIST is our living and active Leader! But,
just as He inspired Moses to call on God's people for material
support for His work in that day--just as He moved the Apostle Paul
to call on early Christians for financial support for His work, so
today I am forced to tell you about this seemingly uncrossable
cross-roads the work has come to--and to ask you to PRAY AND PUT
YOUR HEART INTO YOUR PRAYERS IN REAL EARNEST--and to make whatever
financial sacrifice is necessary, now and during the coming months,
to help directly as far as God has made possible.
While every widow's mite is desperately needed, yet even more
desperate is the need for really large sums from those whom God has
made able. Some, who have one or several thousand dollars they feel
unable to give outright, at this time, have in the past loaned such
