“Operation Pittsburgh” was prompted by the urgent spirit
of evangelism. It was conceived because of the urgency of fol-
several lowing the route which will fastest preach the gospel to the
vast unsaved citizenry of Creator Pittsburgh.
“Operation Pittsburgh” Is being watched elsewhere. The
Northeast has problems peculiar to it. A large Metropolitan
area demands that serious planning go into our efforts to take
it alive for Christ. No hap-hazard effort will yield the most
souls in the shortest time. When “Operation Pittsburgh” is
wrapped up as a program which fully succeeded, to the ad-
vantage of lost souls, other areas will adopt the plan, to the
advantage of other lost souls. It is imperative that it succeed.
“Operation Pittsburgh” Is difficult to leave. Perhaps you
have learned that 1 recently accepted the presidency of Ohio
\ alley College in Parkersburg This decision was extremely dif-
ficult because of my intense personal desire to see “Operation
Pittsburgh translated from a dream into full realitv However,
after much serious thought and fervent prayer we resolved to
go to Parkersburg, believing that overall we could best serve
the interests of ( hrist in this new assignment. However, our
interest will continue in this program And I personally urge
you to continue your interest in it Our going should in no way
effect your zeal for the lost souls In this area.

I should have thanked you for

We will readily admit that one individual—or even one
congregation
arc calling the Challenge of the Century. Bur wc do say
that it each individual will feel the personal responsibility
ol carry int> out the Great Commission with every advan-
tage available, then this challenge can be met and fulfilled.
It’s the little things put together that add up to the com-
plete picture' And it will be the “little contributions that
will supply the total need tor this great effort.
1 he love tor lost souls must possess ihhe heart before
we can accomplish this tor the Lord. 1 his means that wc
must not only want to win our next door neighbor to
Christ, but that we would be willing to sacrifice so that
those millions of unknown people in our nation might have
the opportunity to know Christ and come to Him. If this
task proves im
individual Christians did not feel the personal
to reach out to those living in sin.
The HERALD GE TRUTH carries the
Christ to thousands each week, but with the
planned and with the addition of more stations
1960 could well mark the beginning of a
evangelism for the church. Much good has come
because of this program. Wc know of many congregations
which have started as a direct result of it. Thousands have
obeyed the gospel after learning the truth from this source.
If but one individual could come to us and say, “Because
of you. I now have a hope of eternity with Christ,
it not be worth any sacrifice we might makc:
Wc arc asking that each Chronicle family set aside only
14c per day for this work. 14c such a small amount it will
buy only a half a loaf of bread or a cup and a half of j,
coffee. Or it could be put to use in the Lord's behalf and
help enable millions to learn of Christ. 14c a day adds up
to approximately S 1.00 per week. Think w hat this can mean
to a lost soul, and purpose to make this “sacrifice” today.
The Challenge of the Century is an immense task, true.
But it is not impossible unless we as individuals make it so.
