Reports 
from

ha\'ing 
extraordinary 
success 
in

the

\Vhile 
the 
prices 
have 
advanced 
o\'er 
what 
they 
were 
a 
few 
years 
ago, 
the 
ad\'ance 
(made 
necessary 
by 
the 
i'hcreased 
cost 
of 
production) 
is 
nowhere 
near 
proporiiQ.I1ate 
to 
the 
general 
advance 
in 
the 
price 
of 
other 
things; 
so 
that 
the 
low 
price 
is 
still 
a 
matter 
of 
astonishment 
to 
the 
public. 
Our 
Society 
does 
all 
in 
its 
power 
to 
facilitate 
various 
methods 
of 
circulating 
thf' 
truth-particularly 
in 
the 
Col­

branch 
of 
the 
service; 
assisting 
in 
the 
matter 
very 
materially 
by 
supplying 
the

at 
remarkably 
low 
prices.

THIS JOURNAL AND ITS SAGRED MISSION TE Journal is one of the prime factors or {nstruments tn the system of Bible Instruction, or “Seminary Extension,” now being presented in all parts of the civilized world by the WatcH Tower Bisie & Tract Sociaty, chartered A. D. 1881, “For the Promotion of Christian Knowledge.” It not only serves as a class room where Bible Students may meet in the study of the Divine Word, but also as a channel of communication through which they may be reached with announcements of the Soctety’s Conventions and of the coming of its traveling representatives styled ‘‘Pilgrims,” and refreshed with reports of its Conventions. Our “Berean Lessons’! are topical rehearsals or reviews of our Society’s published Srupigs, most entertainingly arranged, and very helpful to all who would merit the only honorary degree which the Society accords, viz., Verbi Dei Minister (V.D.M.), which, translated into English, is Minister of the Divine Word. Our treatinent of the International S. S. Lessons is specially for the older Bible Students and Teachers. By some this feature is considered indispensable. . This Journal stands firmly for the defense of the only true foundation of the Christian's hope now being so generally repudiated— Redemption through the precious blood of “the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Ilimself a Ransom [a corresponding price, a substitute] for all.” (1 Pet. 1:19; 1 Tim. 2:6.) Building up on this sure foundation the gold, silver and precious stones (1 Cor. 3:11-15; 2 Pet. 1:5-11) of the Word of God, its further mission is to—‘Make all see what is the fellowship of the Mystery which . . . has been hid in God, to the intent that now might be made known by the Church the manifold wisdom of God”—“which in other Ages was not made known unto the sons of men as it is now revealed."——-Eph. 3:5-9, 10. It stands free from all parties, sects and creeds of men, while it seeks more and more to bring its every utterance into fullest subjection to the will of God in Christ, as expressed In the Holy Scriptures. It is thus free to declare boldly whatsoever the Lord hath spoken—according to the Divine wisdom granted unto us, to understand. Its attitude is not dogmatical, but confident; for we know whereof we affirm, treading with implicit faith upon the sure promises of God. It is held as a trust, to be used only in His service; hence our decisions relative to what may and what may not appear in {ts columns must be according to our judgment of His good pleasure, the teaching of His Word, for the upbuilding of His people in grace and knowledge. And we not only invite but urge our readers to prove all its utterances by the infallible Word to which reference is constantly made, to facilitate such testing TO US THE SCRIPTURES CLEARLY TEACH That the Church is “the Temple of the Living God’—peculfarly “His workmanship ;” that its construction has been fn progress throughout the Gospel Age~—-ever since Christ became the world’s Redeemer and the Chief Corner Stone of His Temple, through which, when finished, God’s blessing shall come “to all people,” and they find access to Him.—i1 Cor. 3:16, 17; Eph. 2:20-22; Gen. 28:14; Gal. 3:29, . That meantime the chiseling, shaping and polishing of consecrated believers {n Christ's Atonement for sin, progresses; and when the last of these “living stones,” “Elect and precious," shall have been made ready, the great Master Workman will bring all together in the First Resurrection; and the Temple shall be filled with His glory, and be the meeting place between God and men through out the Millennium.—Rev. 15 :5-8. That the Basis of Hope, for the Church and the World, Hes in the fact that “Jesus Christ, by the grace of God, tasted death for every man,” “a Ransom for all,” and will be “the true Light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world,” “in due time.”"— Heb. 2:9; John 1:9; 1 Tim. 2:5, 6. That the Tope of the Church is that she may be like her Lord, “see Him as He is,” be “partaker of the Divine nature,” and share His glory as His joint-heir.—1 John 3:2; John 17:24; Rom. 8:17; 2 Pet. 1:4. That the present mission of the Church is the perfecting of the saints for the future work of service; to develop in herself every grace; to be God’s witness to the world; and to prepare to be kings and priests in the next Age.—Eph. 4:12; Matt. 24:14; Rev. 1:6; 20:6 That the hope for the World lies in the blessings of knowledge and opportunity to be brought to all by Christ’s Millennial Kingdom— the Restitution of all that was lost in Adam, to all the willing and obedient, at the hands of their Redeemer and His glorified Church—when all the wilfully wicked will be destroyed.—Acts 3:19-23; Isa. 35.

ANNUAL GENERAL CONVENTION ON PUT-IN-BAY ISLAND, LAKE ERIE AUGUST 24-SEPTEMBER I. If satisfactory arrangements can be made, a general nineday convention will be held on Put-In-Bay Island, Lake Erie, during the period of August 24-September 1. Accomodations will be had at the Hotel Victory—of pleasant memory to very many of the friends, for it was at the same place where one of our largest conventions was held in the fall of 1908. Considering the nature and location of the hotel, reasonable rates are obtainable. These will be announced in greater detail in the August Ist issue of the Tower. The convention will include two Sundays and Labor Day. It is anticipated that the entire pilgrim force will be present. “GO YE ALSO INTO THE VINEYARD” Reports from many parts of the country show that Colporteurs are having extraordinary success in introducing the Stupies 1N THE ScripTuRES to the public. While the prices have advanced over what they were a few years ago, the advance (made necessary by the increased cost of production) is nowhere near proportignate to the general advance in the price of other things; so that the low price is still a matter of astonishment to the public. Our Society does all in its power to facilitate various methods of circulating the truth—particularly in the Colporteur branch of the service; assisting in the matter very materially by supplying the books at remarkably low prices. If the Colporteur work appeals to you—travelling from town to town introducing the Bible Keys, soliciting orders and delivering the books—write for “Hints to Colporteurs”. We shall be glad to hear from you, and we assure you that every sacrifice you may make on behalf of the truth will mean rich blessing for yourself. ORDER REPRINT WATCH TOWERS NOW The reprinting of the last forty years of WatcH Towers in book form is now well under way. Those who have indicated their intention of ordering, as also any others who have not so indicated, may now order, with cash remittances.

It is expected that the first three volumes will be shipped in about six weeks, the next three about the middle of October, possibly sooner, and the seventh and last some time later, since this volume is intended to contain a careful and exhaustive Scripture citation and topical index for the complete set.
