"Every place I go, I can hear the teachers and Sabbath School superintendents talking about 2x. "Now I believe that this program is going to benefit the world field — the whole world field — and so Mrs. Carcich and I double what we put in every Sabbath into the envelope. This is involve- ment. And I have absolutely no hesitancy when I have to stand up and promote 2x because I have promoted it to myself. "There is no energy crisis with God. The same God who rained manna on His people for 40 years is not going to see his people suffer. God will bless His people who reach out to get involved with 2x."

Charles L. Brooks, Union Sabbath School secretary, adds:

"Southern Union Sabbath School mem- bers, your commitment to Operation 2x is showing. Thousands of you have evaluated your world mission giving habits and in the light of increased needs and opportunities you are giving more to world missions — even (2x) twice as much. "During the first quarter of 1974, you increased your gifts 27.5 percent above the first quarter of 1973. In actual cash this is $97,747.34. What a blessing to the cause of God! What a blessing to those who faithfully give! "What potential! If every church member would double his average gift to world mis- sions for the past few years, our financial resources would be multiplied so that 'a thousand doors of usefulness would be opened and we would be invited to enter.' "Thank you for continued support and remember 'The Lord has marked every phase of missionary zeal that has been shown by His people in behalf of foreign fields.' (CSSW, p. 136.)"
