These men helped finance a falsehood. They paid to propagate a lie; a lie that left men who believed it destitute in spirit, beset by fears and uncer­ tainty, with no validated faith. This was no mere difference of opinion with final consequences of little or no importance. This falsehood involved some­ thing fundamental and eternal in its consequences. They paid men to say that Christ was not risen, and we know from God’s Word if He is not risen our faith is vain and we are still in our sins. “And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins” (I Corinthians 15:17). Wicked men whose incon­ sistent lives were rebuked by the words and the spirit of the Master sought by financing this hoax to destroy His power and cause in the world. Thank God, all their wicked devices were brought to naught. If wicked men were willing to give “large money” to finance such a nefarious scheme, how much more should the Church give “large money” to finance spreading the glorious truth of our resurrected Christ throughout the world! The coming Thanksgiving Offering is a call to finance the propagation of the truth. While the liquor and tobacco interests and others call for great sums to finance schemes that are detrimental to men, let the church rally with enthusiasm, courage, and sacrifice and adequately finance world-wide holiness evangelism through the Thanksgiving Offering. ^emI4 ofJiollnesii "Before They Call, I Will Answer" October 7, 1959 By BERTHA MEYER Vol. 48, No. 32 Telegram .
