ZION'S

TOWER 
express 
my 
appreciation 
in 
words. 
While 
it 
caused 
some 
com­ 
ment 
and 
made 
me 
a 
little 
conspicuous, 
it 
was 
on 
account 
of 
interest 
in 
the 
new 
invention, 
which 
met 
the 
approval 
of 
all 
who 
saw 
it. 
I 
am 
so 
thankful, 
not 
only 
for 
myself 
but 
for 
many 
other 
sisters 
who 
find 
their 
strength 
insufficient 
to 
do 
the 
heavy 
part 
of 
the 
work, 
which 
now 
may 
be 
rolled 
along 
with 
any 
steady 
hand 
to 
guide 
it. 
We 
are 
anxiously 
awaWng 
the 
announcement 
that 
the 
Dawn-Mobiles 
are 
ready 
for 
our 
use. 
We 
hope 
that 
all 
needing 
such 
a 
conveniance 
will 
avail 
themselves 
of 
it. 
We 
are 
all 
rejoicing 
that 
the 
Lord 
has 
seen 
fit 
to 
bring 
JOu 
back 
from 
the 
old 
country 
to 
Allegheny 
again. 
Our 
prayers 
are 
with 
you 
and 
"the 
family" 
daily 
that 
you 
all 
may 
have 
strength 
to 
keep 
the 
sacrifice 
so 
pleasing 
to 
him 
on 
the 
altar 
until 
soon 
entirely 
consumed. 
God 
bless 
you! 
I 
am 
your 
sister 
by 
his 
grace, 
CHARLOTTE 
WHITE,-Iowa. 
THE 
DAWN-MOBILES 
READY 
For 
a 
long 
time 
we 
have 
been 
on 
the 
lookout 
for 
some 
nevice 
which 
would 
aid 
our 
colporteur 
sisters 
in 
making 
de­ 
livery 
of 
their 
books. 
Fifty 
books 
weigh 
forty 
pounds 
and 
are 
too 
great 
a 
strain 
on 
the 
delicate 
of 
either 
sex. 
Colporteur 
Brother 
Cole 
has 
solved 
the 
problem 
splendidly. 
He 
has 
contrived 
a 
device 
having 
two 
wheels 
which 
may 
be 
attached 
to 
any 
ordinary 
"suit-case" 
in 
five 
minutes, 
and 
without 
injury 
to 
the 
latter 
except 
two 
holes. 
In 
use 
the 
wheels 
support 
the 
weight 
of 
the 
books 
and 
are 
easily 
guided 
by 
the 
hand 
on 
the 
suit-case 
handle. 
On 
a 
car 
the 
wheels 
fold 
up 
against 
the 
side 
of 
the 
suit-case. 
The 
mechanism 
is 
of 
light 
weight. 
The 
device 
will 
be 
supplied 
at 
cost 
to 
any 
colporteur-$2.50 
plus 
express 
charges. 
A 
GENEROUS 
PROPOSITION 
Knowing 
that 
few 
of 
the 
sisters 
can 
do 
better 
than 
meet 
their 
expenses 
at 
colporteuring, 
Brother 
Cole 
makes 
the 
fol­ 
lowing 
generous 
proposal: 
Through 
our 
Society's 
Colpor­ 
teur 
Department 
Brother 
Cole 
offers 
one 
of 
these 
attachments 
free 
to 
each 
Colporteur 
sister 
now 
working 
and 
who 
has 
worked 
on 
a 
regular 
assignment 
of 
territory 
during 
the 
six 
months 
ending 
June 
1, 
1908, 
to 
the 
extent 
of 
sending 
in 
regular 
reo 
ports, 
and 
paying 
for 
not 
less 
than 
sixty 
dollars 
worth 
of 
books 
in 
that 
time. 
Orders 
may 
be 
sent 
in 
at 
once, 
naming 
your 
express 
company. 
Should 
these 
limitations 
barely 
bar 
out 
some 
struggling 
flisters, 
such 
may 
write 
us 
particulars 
and 
"e 
will 
see 
what, 
if 
anything, 
can 
be 
done 
for 
them.

JUNE 15, 1908 express my appreciation in words. While it caused some comment and made me a little conspicuous, it was on account of interest in the new invention, which met the approval of all who saw it. I am so thankful, not only for myself but for many other sisters who find their strength insufficient to do the heavy part of the work, which now may be rolled along with any steady hand to guide it. We are anxiously awaiting the announcement that the Dawn-Mobiles are ready for our use. We hope that all needing such a convenience will avail themselves of it. We are all rejoicing that the Lord has seen fit to bring you back from the old country to Allegheny again. Our prayers are with you and ‘‘the family’’ daily that you all may have strength to keep the sacrifice so pleasing to him on the altar until soon entirely consumed. God bless you! I am your sister by his grace, CHARLOTTE WHITE,—Iowa. THE DAWN-MOBILES READY For a long time we have been on the lookout for some device which would aid our colporteur sisters in making delivery of their books. Fifty books weigh forty pounds and are too great a strain on the delicate of either sex. Vou. XXTX ZION’S WATCH TOWER ALLEGHENY, PA., JULY 1, 1908 (191-196) Colporteur Brother Cole has solved the problem splendidly. He has contrived a device having two wheels which may be attached to any ordinary ‘‘suit-case’’ in five minutes, and without injury to the latter except two holes. In use the wheels support the weight of the books and are easily guided by the hand on the suit-ease handle. On a car the wheels fold up against the side of the suit-case. The mechanism is of light weight. The device will be supplied at cost to any colporteur—$2.50 plus express charges. A GENEROUS PROPOSITION Knowing that few of the sisters can do better than meet their expenses at colporteuring, Brother Cole makes the following generous proposal: Through our Society’s Colporteur Department Brother Cole offers one of these attachments free to each Colporteur sister now working and who has worked on a regular assignment of territory during the six months ending June 1, 1908, to the extent of sending in regular reports, and paying for not less than sixty dollars worth of books in that time. Orders may be sent in at once, naming your express company. Should these limitations barely bar out some struggling sisters, such may write us particulars and we will see what, if anything, can be done for them. No. 18 VIEWS FROM THE WATCH TOWER SEES THINGS COMING ‘*GIGANTIC STRUGGLE BETWEEN LABOR AND CAPITAL’? Secretary Taft made an address before the Order of Railway Conductors in which he said:— ‘*Men who control capital, as well as men who work for wages, must combine,’’ said Secretary Taft to the conduetors. ‘‘Combinations of capital within the bounds of the law are necessary for business expediency and for cost reduction. And because of these combinations among employers, the laboring men must combine also in order to obtain that independence to which they are entitled. LOOKS FOR GIANTS’ STRUGGLE ‘‘Every man who understands welcomes the lawful combination of capital and the combinations of the laboring men. Yet there is no denying the fact that we must look forward to a gigantic controversy between labor and capital, hoping and trusting that it will be settled peaceably. That controversy, when it comes, will decide once for all how eapital and labor shall share the joint-profits which they create. ‘“‘For the past three years we have been doing some housecleaning. We needed it. President Roosevelt was the chief of those who called a halt and convinced the people that no one in this country is above the law. I do not say that all rich men are wicked. We take pride in those who by energy, intelligence, and honesty have accumulated wealth. But there are men in this country who by means devious and contrary to law have become multi-millionaires. These must be made to know that their lawless methods cannot be successful in the future.’’ How evidently our Lord’s teachings and those of his apostles were not to the world, but to ‘‘the called according to his purpose.’’ To those he said, ‘‘Ye are not of the world, for I have chosen yon out of the world.’’ The purpose of their call is also made clear: That they should be holy, and, as his consecrated ‘‘little flock,’’ learn important lessons and be developed to the full in love and loyalty to God and to each other and to all the principles of righteousness to the intent that being thus qualified for service they may be made members of the royal family, the kingdom class, which shall rule the nations with a rod of iron, wielded by a hand of love, during the Millennium. Surely no other explanation fits the facts of history and the records of the Bible. Blessed are the eyes of all who see these things and still more blessed are those whose hearts respond fully and who thus by the Lord’s assisting grace make their calling and election sure to a place in that kingdom. LONDON GONE MAD OVER OCCULTISM The London correspondent of the Toronto Globe says: ‘‘Mayfair’s great army of clairvoyants, soothsayers, tablerappers and seventh-dav sisters have been greatly encouraged by Sir Oliver Lodge’s declarations concerning communications received from beyond the grave by the Psychieal Research Society. The police prosecutions of a few years ago caused a genuine stampede from the luxuriously-appointed temples of mystery in the fashionable streets of the West End, but most of those who ran away have returned or are returning—bolder and more mysterious than ever, “*Tt is declared on good authority that dabblers in the occult among fashionable society are numerically greater than ever before, and this statement is borne out by the rushing business being done by the men and women of mystery. In Oxford Circus and Piccadilly are daily to be seen sandwich men in large numbers bearing advertisement boards telling of the wonderfully accurate predictions made by Mme. X., and how Mme. Z., by timely warning to a lady of high title, prevented a dreadful domestic catastrophe. ‘*Quite a separate division of the futurity-reading industry is that of the sporting ‘prophets,’ who are doing so well financially that they are able to spend large sums for advertisements in the newspapers. A special crusade against this form of clairvoyance has been started by the Bishop of Hereford. He has used his influence to have a committee of the Upper House of the Convocation of Canterbury appointed to deal with the subject, and wholesale prosecutions, both of newspapers printing the advertisements and of those placing them, are threatened.’’ METHODISTS WANT CREED RESTATED Presbyterians are having great comfort from their restatement of their Faith for the public. They claim that it is just the same in meaning as their Westminster Confession. The new creed states so little and so vaguely that it mates well with the ‘‘new theology,’’ which denies the Atonement, the pre-existence of Jesus, etc. But now Methodists are feeling their need of a similarly colorless creed, as is shown by the following from the Portland Evening Telegram: At the meeting of the Methodist Episcopal ministers today at Taylor Street church, Rev, C. E, Cline read a paper on ‘‘Restating the Articles of Our Religion,’’ which was in line with the general movement of that church to restate the present articles, which were originally taken from the Episcopal ereed. Rev. Clarence True Wilson, D. D., said he found the articles needed restating, as he had often been embarrassed by the inadequacy of the present Discipline. ‘¢Why, the other day,’’ he said, ‘‘a Unitarian wrote me for information about our belief, and do you think I could send our Discipline? No, indeed not. Had I done so every minister present today would have criticised me. I happened to meet a Presbyterian minister who was in receipt of a letter from this same Unitarian and I asked him what he was going to do about it. ‘Why, send him our Articles,’ said he.
