The fate of the needed addition to God's great Tabernacle near Gladewater, Texas, still hangs in the balance. The next two weeks will tell. Here is the situation: Originally we had planned to pay the Behlen Manufacturing Company a down payment, and then $12,000 per month. I had asked the membership of the Church to pledge the $12,000 per month, over and above regular offerings and tithes. All of us, together, pledged just a little less than the $12,000 monthly. But, in the final deal with Behlen, knowing that we always have an increase in income during the fall and winter months, which continues on during the following year, I felt justified in agreeing with Behlen to pay them $18,000 per month following the Festival last October. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
