OPPOSITION
PROVED
TO
BE
BOOMERANG
DEAR
PASTOR
RussF
..
Ll,:-
A
short
time
ago,
having
heard
your
teachings
roundly
denounced
by
one
or
two
brother
clergymen,
I
obtained
the
six
volumes
of
yonI'
STUDIES
IN
THE
SCRIPTURES
and
began
to
study
and
investigate
for
myself.
The
final
upshot
of
this
inquiry
has
been
that
the
whole
of
your
views
and
position
as
set
forth
in
the
above
volumes
has
convinced
me
beyond
all
question
that
modern
Chri&tendom
is
upon
a
false
founda
tion,
and
that
somehow
the
"churches"
have
lost
vital
integral
portions
of
that
-truth
which
was
delivered
once
for
all
to
the
saints.
I
have
therefore
recently
fellt
it
to
be
my
duty
to
resign
my
position
as
an
Angelican
minister,
as
I
am
now
certnin
that
the
"churches"
as
at
present
organized
do
not,
and
cnnnot,
truly
and
adequately
represent
our
Lord
to
humanity
as
Rerleemer.
\Vhy
this
is
so
you
make
abundantly
and
transparently
clear
in
your
STUDIES.
I
have
been
engaged
in
the
work
of
the
ministry
for
the
last
thirteen
years,
and
during
this
time
have
tenaciously
held
on
to
my
position
in
the
church,
although
for
some
years
I
have
had
the
instinctive
feeling
that
in
some
way
things
were
far
from
right
within
the
borders
of
"Orthodoxy."
The
difficulty
was
I
did
not
know
how
to
set
about
to
try
and
remedy
matterfl.
Your
third
volume
of
the
STUDIES,
"Thy
Kingdom
Come,"
shows
clearly
that
there
could
be
no
remedy
in
these
latter
days,
for
the
time
of
Harvest
is
come,
and
that
the
evident
decay
and
disintegration
of
Christendom
is
til{;
Lord's
methoi!
of
gathering
together
His
own
spiritual,
eled
church.
The
whole
thing
has
come
to
me
with
the
force
of
a
divine
revelation-for
such
it
assuredly
is.
I
can
only
ai!d
that
it
has
lwen
the
deep
desire
within
to
try
and
do
my
Lord's
will
that
has
kept
me
within
the
"orthodox"
church
until
the
present.
Now,
however,
that
I
see,
as
in
a
mirror,
that
He
is
calling
me
to
corne
out
of
Babylon
as
with
a
stentorian
voice-in
view
of
her
wickei!ness,
worldliness.
cruelty,
hypocrisy
and
errors-I
feel
that
I
must
o'bey
Him
at
all
costs.
I
have
done
this,
and
already
I
feel
a
sense
of
inner
peace
and
tranquility
roming
over
me.
May
God
bless
and
keep
you,
Brother
Russell,
and
all
the
brethren
with
you
who
are
now
busy
making
ready
for
the
Corning
of
the
King!
For
myself
I
just
want
to
do
the
Lord's
will
in
all
things,
and
will
be
glad
to
serve
and
eo-operate
with
you
and
the
Assocbtion
generally
as
mav
most
effectively
tend
to
ll!ssist
in
the
establishment
of
our
Lord's
kingdom.
Kindly
use
me
as
you
may
judge
will
be
best
to
this
great
end.
1
am
a
married
man
with
three
children,
but
whatever
dilliculties
may
arise
I
have
already
proved
that
his
grace
is
sufficient
for
me.
He
has
shown
me
the
road
to
take
to
do
his
will
and
he
will
enable
me
so
to
do.
1
have
made
myself
known
to
the
brethren
in
Toronto
and
they
have
welcomed
me
in
a
most
kind
and
brotherly
way.
If
it
should
be
the
Lord's
will
for
me
to
remain
in
this
city,
it
will
be
a
joy
and
privilege
to
cooperate
with
them
in
seeking
to
further
the
great
end
we
have
in
view.
At
the
same
time
I
have
the
feeling
that
if
arrangements
could
be
made
for
me
to
undertake
a
short,
special
course
of
study
and
training
under
your
direction
at
Brooklyn
it
would
do
me
much
good
and
enable
me
to
render
more
efficient
service
later
on.
I
will,
however,
leave
myself
wholly
in
your
hands
and
endeavor
to
begin
to
serve
the
Association
as
you
may
judge
best.
\Vith
earnest
prayers
that
your
hands
may
be
upheld
in
every
possible
way,
and
that
God
in
his
infinite
mercy
may
shower
upon
you
and
the
hrethren
generally
still
greater
blessings
for
the
great
day
yet
to
corne,
I
am
Yours
in
the
Lord,

BAPTIST
PREACHER
GETS
LIGHT
DEAR
PASTOR:-
I
am
constrained
to
acquaint
you
with
the
news
that
in
God's
hands
you
have
been
a
means
of
blessing
to
us
who
were
for
some
time
spiritually
cast
down.
I
was
aforetime
a
Baptist
pastor
and
evangelist
in
England,
earnest
in
my
endeavors
for
the
(jospPl's
sake,
and
had
to
suffer
because
I
could
not
bend
to
those
who
thought
they
had
the
right
to
lay
down
the
law.
I
felt
that
there
was
something
lacking
in
their
teachings
and
was
in
such
perplexity
that
I
drifted
into
ini!ifference
and
unhappiness.
Heartily
disgusted
with
the
worldliness
and
"isms"
of
the
churches,
and
worst
of
all
their
denial
of
God's
\Vorrl,
I
in
voluntarily
cried,
"8end
out
thy
light
and
thy
truth;
let
them
lead
me!"
"Restore
unto
me
the
joy
of
thy
salvation!"

you
as

I
relegated

bottom
of
my
box,
unread.
Again
I
was

with,
this
time,
a

of

book!
In

I
began
to
read.
and
my
curiosity
soon
hecame
deep
interest
and
diligent
Bible
study
and
my
prayer
has
been
answered!
In
God's
power
I
have
been
able
to
interest
others;
my
brother-in-law
has
joined
in
cur
studies
and
desires
to
adel
his
testimony
to
mine
in
gratitude
to
God
for
your

tions.
May

to
abundantly
bless
you
in
your
noble
and
fearless
proclamation
of

As
opportunity
offers
we
do

True,

but
we

May 15, 1915 made against Brother Russell and of our alleged teachings of a second chance, no punishment for sin, etc. In our volunteer work we are making it a point to refute these charges whenever opportunity presents. We are not inclining toward weariness in well doing. We are confident that we shall reap unspeakably glorious results in due time, and we believe the due time is not far off. It is our delight to bear before the throne of heavenly grace our dear Pastor and all others who suffer for righteousness’ sake. And we daily search our own hearts lest possibly we may shrink from joyfully sharing with these whatever the Lord may allow to come upon us.

The final upshot of this inquiry has been that the whole of your views and position as set forth in the above volumes has convinced me beyond all question that modern Christendom is upon a false foundation, and that somehow the “churches” have lost vital integral portions of that truth which was delivered once for all to the saints. I have therefore recently felt it to be my duty to resign my position as an Angelican minister, as I am now certain that the “churches” as at present organized do not, and cannot, truly and adequately represent our Lord to humanity as Redeemer, Why this is so you make abundantly and transparently clear in your STUDIES, I have been engaged in the work of the ministry for the last thirteen years, and during this time have tenaciously held on to my position in the church, although for some vears I have had the instinctive feeling that in some way things were far from right within the borders of “Orthodoxy.” The difficulty was I did not know how to set about to try and remedy matters. Your third volume of the Srupims, “Thy Kingdom Come,” shows clearly that there could be no remedy in these latter days, for the time of Harvest is come, and that the evident decay and disintegration of Christendom is the Lord’s method of gathering together His own spiritual, elect church. The whole thing has come to me with the force of a divine revelation—for such it assuredly is. I can only add that it has been the deep desire within to try and do my Lord’s will that has kept me within the “orthodox” church until the present. Now, however, that I see, as in a mirror, that He is calling me to come out of Babylon as with a stentorian voice—in view of her wickedness, worldliness, cruelty, hypocrisy and errors—I feel that J must obey Him at all costs. I have done this, and already I feel a sense of inner peace and tranquility coming over me. May God bless and keep you, Brother Russell, and all the brethren with you who are now busy making ready for the Coming of the King! For myself I just want to do the Lord’s will in all things, and will be glad to serve and co-operate with you and the Association generally as may most effectively tend to assist in the establishment of our Lord’s kingdom. Kindly use me THE WATCH TOWER (158-159) as you may judge will be best to this great end. I am a married man with three children, but whatever difficulties may arise I have already proved that his grace is sufficient for me. He has shown me the road to take to do his will and he will enable me go to do. I have made myself known to the brethren in Toronto and they have welcomed me in a most kind and brotherly way. If it should be the Lord’s will for me to remain in this city, it will be a joy and privilege to cooperate with them in seeking to further the great end we have in view. At the same time I have the feeling that if arrangements could be made for me to undertake a short, special course of study and training under your direction at Brooklyn it would do me much good and enable me to render more efficient service later on. I will, however, leave myself wholly in your hands and endeavor to begin to serve the Association as you may judge best. With earnest prayers that your hands may be upheld in every possible way, and that God in his infinite mercy may shower upon you and the brethren generally still greater blessings for the great day yet to come, I am Yours in the Lord, R.
