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

in

earth.

THAT

GOD

created

the

earth

for

man,

and

created

perfect

man

for

the

earth

and

placed

him

upon

it;

that

man

wilfully

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

was

raised

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,

aas

been

selecting

from

amongst

men

the

members

of

his

church,

which

constitutes

the

body

of

Christ;

that

the

mission

of

tho

church

is

to

follow

in

the

footsteps

of

her

Lord

Christ

Jesus,

grow

in

his

likeness,

give

testimony

to

the

name

and

purpos6

of

Jehovah

God,

and

ultimately

be

glorified

with

Christ

Jesus

in

his

heavenly

kingdom;

that

Christ,

Head

and

body,

consti

tutes

the

"seed

of

Abraham"

through

which

all

families

of

the

earth

shall

be

blessed.

THAT

THE

WORLD

HAS

ENDED;

that

the

Lord

Jesus

has

returned

and

is

now

present;

tha

t

Jehovah

Ims

placed

Christ

Jesus

upon

his

throne

and

now

commands

all

nations

and

peoples

to

hear

and

obey

him.

THAT

THE

GREAT

ISSUE

before

all

creation

now

is

the

vindication

of

Jehovah's

word

and

name,

and

that

it

is

the

privilege

and

duty

of

every

true

Christian

to

give

the

testimony

of

Jesus

Christ,

and

to

make

known

that

the

kingdom

of

heaven

is

come.

This

gospel

of

the

kinodom

must

be

preached.

YEAR

BOOK

The

Year

Book

for

1931

will

be

ready

for

delivery

about

December

15.

It

contains

the

President's

Annual

Report,

which

is

very

encouraging

to

all

the

anointed.

For

instance,

the

report

shows

an

increase

of

150

percent

in

the

distribu

tion

of

bound

books

in

Germany

during

the

year.

'rhere

was

a

large

increase

in

the

United

States

and

in

other

places.

The

Watch

Tower

list

is

especially

interesting.

A

number

of

sub·

scribers

canceled

their

subscriptions

during

the

year,

presum·

ably

becau~e

no

longer

in

harmony

with

the

Society.

About

the

same

number

of

new

subscribers

were

enrolled,

and

the

number

of

workers

in

the

field

has

increased.

'l'his

indicates

that

the

Lord

has

someone

ready

to

take

the

place

of

an~'one

who

steps

aside.

There

are

many

other

interesting

features

in

the

report.

A

number

of

classes

report

that

where

the

class

is

small

a

portion

of

the

Prayer

:l\Ieeting

hour

is

used

in

giving

consid

eration

to

some

part

of

the

Report

relating

to

a

country.

In

this

way

the

workers

keep

in

close

touch

with

every

part

of

the

field,

and

this

is

an

encouragement

to

each

other.

The

sug

gestion

is

a

good

one,

and

profitable.

In

addition

to

the

complete

report

are

the

Scripture

texts

with

comments

for

the

year.

First

is

the

Year

Text,

with

ap

propriato

comment,

and

a

text

for

each

Wednesday

prayer

meeting;

and

then

a

text

for

every

day

of

the

year,

with

suit·

able

comment.

Send

your

orders

in

promptly.

If

each

ecclesia,

through

its

secretary

or

stockkeeper,

will

act

promptly

in

sending

in

orders,

designating

the

number

you

wish,

this

will

greatly

aid

us

in

determining

the

number

to

bind

up.

The

limited

edition

makes

it

necessary

to

take

the

usual

price

of

fifty

cents

a

book.

Where

the

class

orders

a

number

through

the

stockkeeper,

the

ship

ment

may

be

by

parcel

post,

freight

or

express.
