Dear Friends and Co-Workers:
GREETINGS! At last The PLAIN TRUTH is ready to go to
press.
I have some wonderful news for you. It will come as a
big surprise to most of you---and I'm sure, a very happy one. Some
very wonderful and fine things have happened, and are developing,
for the college, and for the great work of proclaiming Christ's
Gospel to all the world, sending the last warning Message to all
America, and the salvation of thousands of precious souls.
God is blessing this work beyond anything we even
imagined or hoped for one or two years ago. I have a big and happy
surprise for you about the college and its future. But there isn't
space to tell you in this letter. Just as soon as The PLAIN TRUTH
if off the press and mailed to you, I will try to send you a new
BULLETIN of several pages, profusely illustrated---so you can SEE
in pictures what I have to tell you. Great progress is being made.
Plans also are being made now soon to send out the WORLD TOMORROW
program over additional super-power radio stations. We hope soon
to have it on one of the great 50,000-watt New York City stations,
in addition to at least two other powerful stations covering the
Middle-West, and I am preparing now soon to have the program going
out every night in the year over one of the better Los Angeles
stations covering this great and fast-growing Southern California
section better than at present.
The other day a very active churchman from Alabama
visited us and Ambassador College. He has been investigating and
making contacts all the way across the country and he told me he
finds that ministers everywhere are almost universally listening to
"The WORLD TOMORROW" program, hundreds of them being helped by it.
All over the United States hundreds, converted thru this
great work of God, are awaiting baptism, and in just the next week
or two we plan to start sending out at least two of the four men
who are soon to tour the country, visiting and baptizing these
people. Already AMBASSADOR COLLEGE is bearing precious fruit---
for two of our students are now ready to start out in this
wonderful work. I only regret, that I cannot be hundreds of places
at once and visit all these dear people myself, but the very
purpose of the college is to train and prepare some of those whom
God has called to assist me actively in this way, and God has
provided us with consecrated and well-qualified men. I am
tentatively planning (the Lord willing) a speaking tour myself
along about next February or March, but I cannot leave personally
until then.
In my last letter I explained the battle I have been
having to get myself into the best physical efficiency for the
heavy responsibilities I must carry. It has been a slow and
patience-trying struggle. It has taken longer than I hoped. I
have done my best, and now am approaching tip-top shape. The PLAIN
TRUTH is at last written, and now I believe I am in shape to once
again KEEP IT COMING EVERY MONTH. I shall do my very best. It
seems many of our co-workers let down on their part in this work
when The PLAIN TRUTH is delayed and once again THE WORK IS
SUFFERING, AND FACING A CRISIS. So I simply have to send you this
letter, to let you know that this most interesting issue of The
PLAIN TRUTH is now WAITING ON YOU!
I have finished my part---but our co-workers once again,
many of them, are letting down on their part, and we do not now
have enough funds coming in to pay for the printing and mailing.
We have received one large offering for this specific purpose, but
we need a great deal more. We can GIVE The PLAIN TRUTH only as our
Co-Workers GIVE for that purpose. We cannot put a price on the
precious GOSPEL. It cannot be sold like merchandise.
I believe you will be THRILLED with this issue. I
believe it is the best and most interesting ever published. There
are articles on the dynamic change that has taken place in Europe
---the significance of the Cardinal Mindszenty episode,---the
significance of the fact a FIGHTING POPE has suddenly emerged at
the Vatican---the real MEANING of the NEW GERMANY now being born!
All these things mean something that will happen soon to YOU and
YOURS, as well as our whole nation! There are articles on Water
Baptism, The IMAGE of the "Beast," What to do in case of fevers,
colds, diseases, sicknesses---an article on fasting and diet;
Should you join a Church? Tithing; Where Does the Money Go, and
how is it handled, when sent in for this work; The SEVEN KEYS to
Understanding the Bible---certainly an eye-opening article
different from anything you ever read.
We are now in the difficult summer months when some of
you nay not be able to hear the broadcast as clearly as during
winter, but remember, the full half-hour message is going out every
night over the most powerful standard-wave station in North
America, beside all the other big stations, and hundreds of
thousands still hear the message every night.
It takes thousands of dollars every month to carry on
this great work, reaching MILLIONS of people all over North
America, converting and changing thousands of lives, reaping a
precious and great harvest of souls. IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT
ACTIVITY ON THIS EARTH TODAY! God is blessing it now as never
before. It is bearing tremendous fruit for His Kingdom. And this
precious work of God is again in need! Now I am asking God to just
lay this need, and this burden SO HEAVILY upon your heart that
you'll be stirred and aroused to send in immediately the very
LARGEST sum for His work you can possibly send---whether that be
only the two widow's mites, or a generous offering of several
thousand dollars. And PLEASE KEEP PRAYING EARNESTLY for this work,
and for me personally. Join me in prayer, and in AGREEING with me
that God will lay it on the hearts of co-workers Coast to Coast to
send upon us a veritable downpour of generous offerings. And GOD
BLESS YOU!
Urgently, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
