TO
US
THE
SCRIPTURES
CLEARLY
TEACH
THAT
JEHOVAH
is
the
only
true
God,
the
Maker
of
heaven
and
earth,
and
is
from
everlasting
to
everlasting;
that
the
Logos
was
the
beginning
of
his
creation;
that
the
Logos
became
a
man;
that
he
is
now
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
in
glory,
clothed
with
all
power
in
heaven
and
earth.
THAT
GOD
created
the
earth
for
man,
created
perfect
man
for
the
earth
and
placed
him
upon
it;
that
man
wil
fully
disobeyed
God's
law
and
was
sentenced
to
death;
that
by
reason
of
Adam's
wrongful
act
all
men
are
born
sinners
and
without
the
right
to
life.
THAT
JESUS
was
made
a
human
being
in
order
that
he
might
become
the
Redeemer
of
man;
that
he
gave
his
life
a
sacrifice
for
man
and
thereby
produced
the
ransom
price;
that
Jesus
the
divine
arose
from
the
dead,
ascended
into
heaven,
and
presented
the
value
of
his
human
sacrifice
as
the
redemptive
price
for
man.
THAT
for
many
centuries
God,
through
Christ,
has
been
selecting
from
amongst
men
the
members
of
his
church,
which
constitutes
the
bodY
of
Christ;
that
the
mission
of
the
church
is
to
follow
in
the
footsteps
of
her
Lord
Christ
Jesus,
grow
in
his
likeness,
give
testimony
to
the
name
and
plan
of
Jehovah
God,
and
ultimately
be
glorified
with
Christ
Jesus
in
his
heavenly
kingdom;
that
Christ,
Head
and
body,
constitutes
the
"seed
of
Abraham"
through
which
all
the
families
of
the
earth
shall
be
blessed.
THAT
THE
WORLD
HAS
ENDED;
that
the
Lord
Jesu~
has
returned
and
is
now
present;
that
Jehovah
has
placed
Christ
Jesus
upon
his
throne
and
now
commands
all
nations
and
peoples
to
hear
and
obey
him.
THAT
THE
HOPE
of
the
peoples
of
earth
is
restoration
to
human
perfection
during
the
reign
of
Christ;
that
the
reign
of
Christ
will
afford
opportunity
to
every
man
to
have
a
fair
trial
for
life
and
those
who
obey
will
live
on
earth
for
ever
in
a
state
of
happiness.

A
NEW
BOOK
That
further
witness
to
the
name
of
Jehovah
might
be
given
to
the
people
the
Society
is
publishing
a
new
book.
the
title
of
which
is
Reconci/i.ation.
The
philosophy
of
the
atonement
sacrifice
as
related
to
reconciliation
is
discussed
at
length.
The
book
is
illustrated.
'fu
the
anointed
of
the
Lord
it
is
written:
"God
has
reconciled
us
to
himself
by
Jesus
Christ,
and
given
to
us
the
ministry
of
reconciliation."
It
is
important
that
the
anointed
have
a
clear
vision
of
reconciliation
that
their
miniRtry
in
connection
therewith
might
be
intelligently
performed.
We
feel
sure
that
the
book
will
help
to
a
better
understanding
of
this
vital
doc
trine.
We
therefore
advise
a
careful
study
of
the
book;
and
then
let
all
who
love
the
Lord
get
it
into
the
hands
of
the
truth-hungry
people.
The
first
edition,
of
course,
is
more
expensive
because
of
the
orig-inal
plates,
etc.
A
limited
number
of
volumes
ot
the
author's
edition
is
iS5ued
for
the
accommodatio:l
of
the
consecrated
and
for
which
fifty
cents
is
charged.
'l'his
will
carry
the
extra
expense
of
production
and
enable
all
the
brethren
to
have
some
part
in
the
production
of
the
book.
The
edition
for
the
public
will
follow
shortly.
The
eccleslas,
through
their
respective
service
directors,
will
be'
advised
as
to
the
canvassing-
for
and
sale
of
the
books
in
single
volumes
and
in
combination
with
companion
books.

RADIO
A
letter
in
The
Watch
Tower
from
Brother
vVoodworth
suggests
the
classes'
giving
up
their
halls
and
devoting
all
to
a
national
weekly
radio
hook-up.
This
would
be
a
very
commendable
thing
but
at
this
time
the
Lord
has
not
so
arranged.
The
Society
advises
therefore
that
the
classes
do
not
give
up
their
halls
until
the
Lord
does
signify
his
approval
by
opening
the
way
for
a
frequent
nation-wide
public
meeting
by
radio.
