Are we going to have to LOSE our fine new Tabernacle near Gladewater, Texas, after all? Another $18,000 payment was due today. Thank God we were able to mail the check day before yesterday, so it would arrive on time—BUT THE SPECIAL OFFERINGS FOR THIS TABERNACLE FUND HAVE BEEN DROPPING DOWN SINCE THE FESTIVAL—and if this keeps up we may not be able to make the next payment! I returned just a few days ago from the final inspection trip, with our architect, at the Tabernacle. It is now completely finished—although some of the finish work was not satisfactory, and will have to be done over by the sub-contractors before we give it final approval. As soon as this is done, we have to give the Behlen Manufacturing Company, Columbus. Nebraska, the builders and contractors, a mortgage on the property on which the Tabernacle stands. If we do not continue to meet the payments, we will lose this fine building, after all! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
