THE
BIBLE
CLEARLY
TEACHES
THAT
JEHOVAH
Is
the
only
true
God,
from
everlasting
to
everlasting,
and
Is
the
Maker
of
hpaven
and
earth
and
Gh'er
of
life
to
his
creatures;
that
the
Word
or
Logos
was
the
beginning
of
his
creation
and
his
active
agent
In
creating
all
other
things;
and
that
the
creature
Lucifer
rebelled
against
Jehovah
and
raised
the
Issue
of
His
universal
sovereignty;
THAT
GOD
created
the
earth
for
man,
made
perfect
man
for
the
earth
and
placed
him
upon
It;
that
man
~'Ielded
to
unfaithful
Lucifer,
or
Satan,
and
w\1Jfully
disobeyed
God's
la\v
and
was
sentenced
to
<lenth;
that
by
reason
of
Adam's
wrong
act
all
men
are
born
sinners
and
without
the
right
to
life;
THAT
THE
LOGOS
was
made
human
as
the
man
Jesus
and
suf·
fered
death
In
order
to
produce
the
ransom
or
redemptive
price
for
obedient
men;
that
God
raised
up
Christ
Jesus
divine
and
exalted
him
to
heaven
above
every
other
creature
and
clothed
him
with
all
power
and
authority
as
head
of
God's
new
capital
organization;
THAT
GOD'S
CAPITAL
ORGANIZATIO:-1
Is
a
Theocracy
called
Zion,
and
that
Christ
Jesus
is
the
Chief
Officer
thereof
and
Is
the
rlp-htful
King
of
the
new
world;
that
the
faithful
anointed
followers
of
Christ
Jesus
are
Zion's
children,
members
of
Jehovah's
organization,
and
are
HIS
witnesses
whose
duty
and
prIvilege
It
is
to
testify
to
Jehovah's
supreruac~'
and
declare
his
purposes
toward
mankind
as
expressed
in
the
Bible;
THAT
THE
OLD
'VORLD,
or
Satan's
uninterrupted
rule,
ended
A.D.
1914,
and
Christ
Jesus
has
been
placed
by
.Teho,ah
upon
the
throne,
has
ousted
Satan
from
heaven,
and
now
proceeds
to
vindicate
His
name
and
esrubllsh
the
"new
earth";
THAT
THE
UELIEF
and
bleSSings
of
the
peoples
can
come
only
by
Jeho\'ah's
kingdom
under
Christ,
Which
has
begun;
that
His
next
great
act
Is
to
destroy
Satan's
organization
and
establish
righteousness
completel~'
10
the
earth;
and
that
under
the
Kingdom
the
people
of
good-will
sun-iving
Armar;eddon
will
carry
out
the
divine
mandate
to
"fill
the
earth"
with
righteous
offspring,
and
that
the
human
dead
In
the
gra
yes
wlll
be
raised
to
opportunities
of
life
on
earth.

1949
CALENDAR
Again
the
Lord
provides
us
with
a
new
service
calendar,
for
the
year
1949,
the
text
for
which
is,
"I
...
will
yet
praise
thee
more
and
more."
(Ps.
71:
14)
The
picture
embellishing
it
steps
into
the
field
of
realism
by
exhibiting
under
the
year's
text
a
bird's-eye
view
of
that
now
world-famous
missionary
school,
Gilead,
10
its
environs,
in
four
colors,
and
which
is
mightily
aiding
today
in
praising
Jehovah
more
and
more.
Under
the
picture
the
date
pad
presents
the
six
special
testimony
periods
of
1949
and
the
alterna
tive
months,
together
with
the
service
theme
for
each
such
month.

sent
