I have just arrived here in Gladewater, Texas, to inspect the new Tabernacle project and make final plans for construction of additional sanitary buildings in the camping area, altering the original tabernacle so as to convert it into a large dining hall, making decisions on wide sidewalks between t ...

"The Eternal gave, and the Eternal has taken away; blessed be the name of the Eternal!" WHY does God allow some things which seem utterly contrary to anything we can understand? "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Eternal." He often does no ...

A tragic accident has struck us. Last Wednesday afternoon I had to drop everything and race to San Luis Obispo, half way between Los Angeles and San Francisco. My elder son, Richard David Armstrong (Dick), and another of God's ordained elders, up here on a baptizing tour, were in a terrible head-o ...

HERE OUGHT TO BE CAUSE FOR SHOUTING ALOUD FOR JOY!! I have just been reading, in Ezra, the account of the laying of the foundation for the new Temple of the Eternal at Jerusalem. This was 70 years after the original great Temple of Solomon had been destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar's army in the captivi ...

This is a last reminder to be sure to attend the all- important meetings of GARNER TED ARMSTRONG—my son and co-pastor on "The WORLD TOMORROW" program—starting NEXT SUNDAY NIGHT. Letters in response to the T.V. and RADIO programs in Springfield, and the large newspaper announcements, indica ...

This is an EMERGENCY letter. It must be short, and quick to the point! Please put this ahead of everything you have to do! Right now God is blessing His work as never before, while many of you Co-Workers are slacking off in your part! Just look at these blessings! Since I last wrote you, the manager ...

GREETINGS, in Jesus' name! After many delays, with trying suspense during periods when it appeared we could not go ahead with the Tabernacle this year, I have just received the final completed bid from the Behlen Manufacturing Co., who are to undertake the entire completed construction. We had hop ...

Greetings, in Jesus' name! We're sending you this special letter to announce the plans for holding services on the Day of Pentecost. Pentecost this year will be observed on Monday, the 26th of May. Services will be held as usual at the local congregations, with any special arrangements being mad ...

I have to tell you that the pressure is still on us. We are not out from the tight financial squeeze in the operation or God's great work. Probably we shall never be. God has not intended our mission to be an easy one. The work plunges on ahead. Jesus Christ is the Living Head of this most importa ...

Some of you have responded nobly, generously, with a willing heart, and to the limit of your ability, to my last letter and plea that the Church of God come to life, and YET save the Tabernacle, so that it may proceed immediately and be ready for this fall. God will richly bless you. I am personally ...

It makes my heart heavy to have to write you this letter, but today we are faced with the decision of calling off the building of the new Tabernacle near Gladewater, Texas, for one more year. I have just had to call the Behlen Manufacturing Company, at Columbus, Nebraska, which is handling the entir ...

Again GREETINGS, in Jesus' name! This is 1958! Time is growing shorter—FAST! We have comparatively little time left to complete the GREAT COMMISSION Christ has given HIS CHURCH to complete just before the END of this world! The HEAD of His Church and of GOD'S GREAT WORK, Jesus Christ, is moving ...
