THE

CLEARLY

TEACH

TIIAT

JEHOVAI-I

is

the

only

true

God,

the

Maker

of

heUH'n

and

earth,

and

is

from

everlasting

to

everlasting;

that

the

Logos

was

the

beginning

of

his

creation;

that

the

Logos

became

a

lllan;

that

he

is

now

the

Lord

Jesus

Christ

in

glory,

clothed

with

all

power

in

heaven

and

in

earth.

TH"\T

GOD

created

the

earth

for

man,

created

perfect

man

for

the

eal1:h

and

placed

him

upon

it;

that

man

wil

fully

disobf')'ed

God's

law

and

was

sentenced

to

dl'ath;

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

Hedeemer

of

man;

that

he

gave

his

life

a

sacrifice

for

man

and

thereby

produced

the

ransom

price;

that

Jesus

the

divine

was

raised

from

the

dead,

ascended

Into

heaven,

and

pre1'lented

the

value

of

his

human

sacrifice

as

the

redemptil"e

price

for

man.

THAT

FOR

MANY

CENTURIES

God,

through

Christ,

has

bf'en

selecting-

from

amon~t

men

the

memllers

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

Jasus

in

his

IH'aYenly

kingllom;

the

"seed

throuc;-h

wlticl1

nIl

the

THAT

THE

"WORLD

HAS

E~DED;

that

the

Lorll

Je,u::!

has

returned

and

is

that

has

OF

OPPORTUNITY

that

at

Brooklyn

from

time

to

care

for

the

increasing

work.

Any

unencumbered

brothers

de

sirIng

to

in

this

branch

of

the

service

will

be

sent

questionnaires.

filed

for

call

when

required.
