ITS

SACRED

MISSION

T

HIS

journal

is

published

for

the

purpose

of

aiding

the

people

to

un<Jerstand

Jehovah's

purposes.

It

provides

systematic

Bible

study

in

which

all

its

readers

may

regu

larly

engage.

It

gives

announcement

of

the

visits

made

to

Bible

classes

by

traveling

speakers,

announces

conventions,

and

gives

reports

thereof.

It

announces

radio

programs

and

pubhshes

suitable

Bible

instruction

for

broadcasting.

It

adheres

strictly

to

the

Bible

as

God's

revealed

word

of

Truth.

It

stands

firmly

upon

the

great

ransom

sacrifice

as

the

fundamental

doctrine

by

which

all

doctrines

are

measured.

It

is

free

from

parties,

sects

and

creeds

of

men.

It

does

not

as

sume

a

dogmatic

attitude,

but

confidently

invites

a

careful

examination

of

its

utterances

in

the

light

of

the

infallible

Word

of

God.

It

does

not

indulge

in

controversies

z

aud

its

columns

are

not

open

to

personalities.

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

lleaven,

and

presented

the

value

of

his

human

sacrifice

as

the

redemptive

price

for

man.

THAT

FOR

MANY

CENTURIES

God,

through

Christ,

kas

been

selecting

from

amongst

Dlen

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

purpose

of

Jehovah

God,

and

ultimat.ely

1)e

glorified

with

Christ

Jesus

in

his

heavenly

kmgdom;

that

Christ,

Head

anu

body,

consti

tutes

the

"seed

of

A

braham"

through

which

all

families

of

the

ell.rth

sh:l.ll

be

blessed.

THAT

THE

WORLD

HAS

ENDED;

that

the

Lord

.Tesus

has

returneu

and

is

now

present;

that

Jehovah

has

placeu

Christ

.Tesus

upon

his

throne

and

now

all

nations

and

peoples

to

hear

and

obey

him.

MONEY

ORDERS

Enclosing

coin

or

currency

with

an

order

for

books

or

other

publications

often

results

in

disappomtment

when

the

sender

is

notified

that

neither

order

nor

remittance

has

been

received

by

us.

In

this

day

of

disturbed

finanCial

conditions

even

the

use

of

checks

involves

a

risk.

For

the

sender's

own

safety

and

convenience,

use

of

the

money

order

(either

postal

or

express)

is

generally

more

reliable

than

almost

any

other

method

of

remitting

payment.

It

is

well,

of

course,

to

keep

each

money

order

receipt

for

reference

in

case

of

loss

or

theft.
