that

the

the

Chief

THAT

GOD

created

the

earth

for

man,

created

perfect

man

for

the

earth

and

placed

him

upon

it

j

that

man

willfully

dis

obeyed

God's

law

and

was

sentenced

to

death

j

that

by

reason

of

Adam's

wrong

act

all

men

are

born

sinners

and

without

the

right

to

life.

THAT

JESUS

was

made

human,

and

the

man

Jesus

suffered

death

In

order

to

produce

the

ransom

or

redemptive

price

for

obedient

ones

of

mankind;

that

God

raised

up

Jesus

divIne

and

exalted

him

to

heaven

above

every

creature

and

above

every

name

and

clothed

him

with

all

power

and

authority.

THAT

JEHOVAH'S

ORGANIZATION

a

Theocracy

called

Zion,

and

that

Christ

Jesus

is

the

Chief

Officer

thereof

and

is

the

right

ful

King

of

the

world;

that

the

and

faithful

followers

of

Christ

Jesus

are

chlldren

of

the

fruits

of

THE

WORLD

has

ended,

and

the

Lord

Jesus

Christ

has

been

placed

by

upon

his

throne

of

authority,

has

ousted

Satan

from

of

the

peoples

of

can

come

only

by

through

kingdom

under

which

the

Lord's

next

great

act

is

the

destruction

Satan's

organization

and

the

establishment

of

righteousness

In

the

earth,

and
