and
to
grow
in

but
he
will
find
in
the
divine
provision
everything
needful
to
these

Hence
the
Scriptures
declare
that
God
is
faithful
in

and
that
if
any
of
these
Spirit

shall
fail
to
reach
the
glorious
outcome
of
the
call,
it
will

Let

Cincinnati
at

of
his
"little

Of
course
many
more
will
be
present
in
spirit
than
can
arrange
to
be
personally
present;
but
these,
too,
will
share
the
general
blessing
of
the
Lord
by
reason
of
their
spirit
of
fellowship.

THE
WOMAN'S
NATIONAL
DAILY
Confident
that
thousands
of
WATCH
TOWER
readers
would
be
glad
to
get
Brother
Russell's
sermons
weekly,
at
the
very
cheap
clubbing
rate
of
600
per
year
above
the
TOWER
price,
we
arranged
accordingly.
As
the
subscriptions
did
not
come
in
as
rapidly
as
we
had
expected,
we
advanced
the
subscrip
tion
price
for
some
Tract
Fund
contributors
and
some
on
our
poor
list,
in
order
to
make
good
our
promise
to
the
National
Daily.
But
the
National
Daily
is
not
publishing
the
sermons
as
they
proposed;
hence
we
are
holding
subscriptions
received
for
it
within
the
last
two
weeks.
We
have
requested
that
they
stop
all
subscriptions
sent
in
by
us
and
return
the
pro
rata
amount
of
money
as
agreed.
They
decline
to
do
so;
but
say
that
they
will
stop
subscriptions
and
refund
money
on
request
of
the
subscribers.
We
request
that
all
who
have
been
receiv
ing
the
National
Daily
send
postal
cards
requesting
that
their
papers
be
stopped
and
their
money
refunded
unless
Pastor
Russell's
sermons
appear
weekly:
as
it
was
on
this
understand
ing
that
the
subscription
was
given.
Those
who
have
sent
us
their
subscriptions
are
being
tem
porarily
supplied
the
sermons
otherwise.
We
suggest,
how
ever,
that
those
who
desire.
this
cheap,
clean
daily,
but
who
are
not
now
receiving
it,
might
also
help
by
writing
postal
cards:
saying,
that
their
subscriptions
and
those
of
their
friends
are
awaiting
an
assurance
that
Pastor
Russell's
ser
mons
will
appear
in
their
journal
every
week.
AN
INTERESTING
LEITER
Dear
Brother
Russell:-
I
had
in
mind
to
write
many
times,
but
put
it
off
for
one
reason
or
another.
I
can
assure
you,
however,
that,
although
my
letters
are
few
and
far
between,
I
nevertheless
think
of
you
every
day,
many
times
a
day-thinking
of
your
many
kindnesses
to
me,
and
the
fact
you
were
the
means
in
God's
hand
of
leading
my
wife
and
me
into
the
light
of
present
truth,
which
we
still
love,
we
are
glad
to
say,
with
the
same
fervency
as
the
day
we
received
it.
The
field
here
secms
white
unto
the
harvest,
and
we
en
counter
less
prejudice
than
in
the
States,.
In
the
two
years
and
six
months
of
our
stay
in
the
colonies
my
wife
and
I
have
been
privileged
to
circulate
about
20,000
volumes
of
DAWN,
and
our
hearts
have
been
caused
to
rejoice
in
hearing
of
some
fruit
to
our
labors-ilome
brought
to
the
light
and
knowledge
of
the
present
truth
through
the
books
thus
scattered.
It
has
given
us
pleasure
to
see
the
work
of
Brother
and
Sister
Hen·
ninges
so
abundantly
blessed
by
the
Lord
in
Melbourne.
Some
of
the
friends
there
who
have
become
interested
have
devel
oped
into
efficient
colporteurs.
Sister
S
,
who
has
been
with
us
since
Christmas,
is
exceptionally
so,
taking
orders
for
as
high
as
seventy
volumes
in
one
day.
I
mention
this,
be
cause
I
know
it
will
give
rou
pleasure
to
hear
of
the
zeal
and
earnestness
of
those
who
In
tl}is

of
the

have
been
brought
to
a
knowledge
of
the
truth.

THE
WATCH
TOWER
No.4
THE
FINANCIAL
STRESS
WORLD-WIDE
SO
intertwined
are
the
finances
of
the
world
that
our
recent
disturbance
from
lack
of
circulating
currency
is
affecting
all
Europe.
Precipitated
by
a
battle
between
financial
giants,
which
obliterated
one
party
and
crippled
the
other,
the
panicky
sentiment
spread
to
every
quarter
of
this
land
and
its
waves
are
now
causing
disturbances
afar,
whilst
New
York,
the
original
center,
has
become
more
calm.
That
there
was
not
sufficient
money
for
the
vast
business
enterprises
of
our
land
was
seen
by
many
financiers,
and
warning
signals
were
given
a
year
in
advance.
But
nobody
moved
to
produce
the
needed
extra
currency
(which
silver
would
have
supplied
had
it
not
been
demonetized).
Unless
this
new
blood
(more
currency)
be
supplied
speedily
no
rapid
recovery
need
be
expected.
This
means
further
depression
along
some
lines,
notwithstanding
the
great
prosperity
within
grasp.
Much
is
being
said
in
a
partizan
spirit,
charging
that
the
panic
was
deliberately
brought
on
by
the
very
rich,
to
show
their
power
and
to
take
a
stronger
hold.
This
is
surely
er
roneous,
as
the
very
rich
have
suffered
most.
The
President
and
Mr.
Lawson
are
also
blamed
unjustly
for
precipitating
the
panic
by
exposing
the
disapproved
methods
of
some
finan
ciers.
Public
distrust
did
extend
to
railroad
bonds
and
some
railroad
shares
and
justly;
but
this
would
have
produced
no
panic
had
there
been
sufficient
currency
(money)
for
the
coun
try's
needs.
Congress
and
the
bankers
are
responsible,
though
they
do
not
realize
it.
However,
from
our
standpoint
we
need
blame
none
of
them.
[4134]
(47-51) still need to grow in grace, to grow in knowledge and to grow in faith, but he will find in the divine provision everything needful to these ends. Hence the Scriptures declare that God is faithful in the matter, and that if any of these Spiritbegotten ones shall fail to reach the glorious outcome of the eall, it will be their own fault—because they have neglected ZION’S WATCH TOWER ALLEGHENY, Pa. or not properly used the divine grace in harmony witb the divine injunction. Let our faith abound, dear brethren, and grow stronger and stronger, and to this end let us feed upon the heavenly manna provided us, and make use of the various opportunities for growth, and be not slothful, but fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. CINCINNATI DEBATES AND CONVENTION Debates were announced in our last issue, to be held in Cincinnati, O., for six consecutive nights, beginning Sunday night, Feb. 23, between Mr. White of the Christian or Disciple denomination and the Editor of this journal, C. T. Russell. At onee we began to receive letters suggesting that a WaTcH TowER CONVENTION be held in Cincinnati at the same time, as quite a number of the friends desired to attend the debates anyway. Accordingly we have arranged for an eight-day Convention —Feb. 23—March 1, inclusive. This will give us two Sundays, We anticipate a spiritual feast at the Lord’s table in company with many of his ‘‘little ones.’? Of course many more will be present in spirit than can arrange to be personally present; but these, too, will share the general blessing of the Lord by reason of their spirit of fellowship. MUSIC HALL SECURED Our latest information is that Music Hall has been secured for the debates. It is Cincinnati’s finest auditorium, with a seating capacity of 3600. Further announcement of the Convention arrangements will appear in our next issue. Mean time we remark that the railroads south of Cincinnati will give excursions on the Certificate plan if requested. When buying ticket at full single fare ask for a certificate which will entitle you to a return ticket at one-third of full fare when properly endorsed. These rates will be open to anybody. Arrangements will be perfected for securing clean rooming accommodations at 50 cents to $1 per night each person. If you desire us to secure such for you give full particulars before Feb, 15th, that the address of your room may be sent you. NEWSPAPER BEPORTS OF THE DEBATES One of the Cincinnati newspapers proposes to give stenographic reports of the debates. We have arranged to receive subscriptions for the period covered by the reports—four copies to one address, and later six copies of a paper containing the entire six debates, all for $1.00. A party of friends will leave Chicago for Cincinnati in special car Saturday night, Feb. 22. Any desiring to accompany them write Dr. L. W. Jones, 2024 Washington Boul., Chicago. THE WOMAN’S NATIONAL DAILY Confident that thousands of WatcH Tower readers would be glad to get Brother Russell’s sermons weekly, at the very cheap clubbing rate of 60c per year above the Towrr price, we arranged accordingly. As the subscriptions did not come in as rapidly as we had expected, we advanced the subscription price for some Tract Fund contributors and some on our poor list, in order to make good our promise to the National aily. But the National Daily is not publishing the sermons as they proposed; hence we are holding subscriptions received for it within the last two wecks. We have requested that they stop all subseriptions sent in by us and return the pro rata amount of money as agreed. They decline to do so; but say that they will stop subscriptions and refund money on request of the subseribers. We request that all who have been receiving the National Daily send postal cards requesting that their papers be stopped and their money refunded unless Pastor Russell’s sermons appear weekly: as it was on this understanding that the subscription was given. Those who have sent us their subscriptions are being temporarily supplied the sermons otherwise. We suggest, however, that those who desire. this cheap, clean daily, but who are not now receiving it, might also help by writing postal cards: saying, that their subscriptions and those of their friends are awaiting an assurance that Pastor Russell’s sermons will appear in their journal every week. AN INTERESTING LETTER Dear Brother Russell:— I had in mind to write many times, but put it off for one reason or another. I can assure you, however, that, although my letters are few and far between, I nevertheless think of you every day, many times a day—thinking of your many kindnesses to me, and the fact you were the means in God’s hand of leading my wife and me into the light of present truth, which we still love, we are glad to say, with the same fervency as the day we received it. The field here seems white unto the harvest, and we encounter less prejudice than in the States, In the two years and six months of our stay in the colonies my wife and I have been privileged to circulate about 20,000 volumes of Dawn, and our hearts have been caused to rejoice in hearing of some fruit to our labors—some brought to the light and knowledge of the present truth through the books thus scattered. It has given us pleasure to see the work of Brother and Sister Henninges so abundantly blessed by the Lord in Melbourne. Some of the friends there who have become interested have developed into efficient colporteurs. Sister S————, who has been with us since Christmas, is exceptionally so, taking orders for as high as seventy volumes in one day. I mention this, because I know it will give you pleasure to hear of the zeal and earnestness of those who in this part of the world have been brought to a knowledge of the truth. Yours in him, 8S. J. RicHarpson,—Australia. Vou.
