THE

BROOKLYN,

the
shepherd.
God
provided
for
man's
protection,
but
by
reason
of
sin
the
race
got
into
the
wilds
and
became
expo.sed
to
various
difficulties
which
otherwise
would
not
have
been
man's
lot.
Those
who
are
the"
sheep"
will
come
back
into
harmony
with
the
Lor<1.
As
represented
in
our
text,
the
church
class
comes
back
in
the
present
time.
We
all
recognize,
as
the
days
go
by,
how
nece.ssary
is
the
divine
care.
As
we
come
to
see
the
divine
plan,
we
see
that
"all
who
are
of
this
foIU,"
all
those
who
will
come
into
harmony
with
Gou,
will
have
this
care;
and
that
eventually
there
shall
be
one
Shep
herd
and
one
flock.
Our
Lord
Jesus
is
the
representative
of
the
Father.
Humanity,
as
the
Lord's
sheep,
went
astray.
All
of
Adam's
posterity
are
nl'W
a.stray.
The
Great
Shepherd
sent
his
son
for
the
lost
sheep.
He
is
seeking
them
and
will
ultimately
find
all
who
belong
to
this
true
flock.
He
is,
therefore,
in
the
highest
sense
of
the
word,
the
Bishop,
or
Shepherd
of
our
souls,
the
Good
Shepherd
who
laid
down
his
life
for
the
sheep.

(207-211) the shepherd. God provided for man’s protection, but by reason of sin the race got into the wilds and became exposed to various difficulties which otherwise would not have been man’s lot. Those who are the ‘‘sheep’’ will come back into harmony with the Lord. As represented in our text, the church class comes back in the present time. We all recognize, as the days go by, how necessary is the divine care. As we come to see the divine plan, we see that ‘‘all who are of this fold,’’ all those who will come into harmony with God, will THE WATCH TOWER Brookiyn, N. Y. have this care; and that eventually there shall be one Shepherd and one flock. Our Lord Jesus is the representative of the Father. Humanity, as the Lord’s sheep, went astray. All of Adam’s posterity are new astray. The Great Shepherd sent his son for the lost sheep. He is seeking them and will ultimately find all who belong to this true fiock. He is, therefore, in the highest sense of the word, the Bishop, or Shepherd of our souls, the Good Shepherd who laid down his life for the sheep. OUR NEW BIBLES Hereafter, to distinguish our own special edition, from other Bibles, we will refer to them as Berean Bibles. They are becoming more and more indispensable to all readers as they learn how to use them. The translation, of course, is not at all different from that of other Bibles of the Common Version. Our peculiar, distinctive feature is the Berean Helps at the back. These consist of: (1) Biblical Comments from Genesis to Revelation, with references to the Scripture Srupies and other of our publications showing the page where the text is more fullv discussed and elaborated. We can scarcely imagine anything more helpful than these for Bible study. It is so easy to turn to the reference and ascertain if the matter has been treated and where and how. It represents four hundred and eightyone pages of matter. (2) The Instructor’s Guide. This is a topical arrangement of Bible subjects specially convenient for those who have opportunity for teaching others the Divine Plan of the Ages, Its various topics are arranged under distinet headings and the various texts bearing upon the subject are colJated. With this help a novice has at his command, wellfurnished, ‘‘the Sword of the Spirit.’’ It is in condensed form, very convenient, and consists of eighteen pages solid matter. (3) The Berean Topical Index, alphabetica‘ly arranged, presents a large variety of subjects showing references to the Scripture StTupies and other of our publications treating the same. This feature is comprised in twenty-eight pages. (4) In this specially difficult texts are brought to the attention and references given showing where they are treated in our publications. Following this is a full list of various interpolations and spurious passages of the Seriptures not in the original MS8S., as proven by the oldest Greek MSS.— fifteen pages. These four features, representing five hundred and fortytwo pages, are not to be found in any other Bibles on earth and, in our opinion, they are of almost priceless value. One of our interested readers who could not procure another would not sell his eopy for a hundred dollars—many of them, surely, would not take thousands for it. All of our Berean Bibles contain the above, and some of them, the numbers of which end with a nine, contain additionally Bagster’s Bible Study Helps, including an alphabetieal index of proper names and Bagster’s Bible Concordance and Maps—a total of one hundred and eighty-six pages. We uot only supply these Bibles at cost price, but be Vou. NX ATI BROOKLYN, N. Y., JULY 15, 1911 cause of the large quantities ordered at a time, we are enabled to secure a cost price which is really phenomenal, We are safe in saying that, even aside from our Berean Helps, no Bibles are to be found in the world of such extraordinary values. The price is the same whether the order be for one copy or for more. To save danger of misunderstanding we below quote the prices, including postage. The very low prices must not lead you to think that these are manufactured in any slipshod manner. They are first class in every particular. The prices are, many of them, less than one-half what you pay for such books almost anywhere else. So great is the demand for these Berean Bibles that hereafter we purpose carrying no others in stock except pocket Bibles and large type Bibles for the aged. We will still, however, be pleased to serve anyone who desires other Bibles. We can procure for these wholesale rates, usually twenty-five per cent. off publishers’ catalogue prices, plus postage. BESCRIPTION AND PRICES—BEREAN BIBLES Number 1918, price $1.65, is a beautiful book. It is small and light. Size 434 x 634 inches. It has minion type, red under gold edges, divinity circuit, French seal. Looks like the genuine seal skin, but it is in reality good sheepskin. Number 1919, price $1.75, postpaid; the same book, the same Bible; the same every way except the addition of Bagster Helps, Concordances, ete. Number 1928, price $2.65. This is the same book exactly as number 1918, except that it has genuine morocco binding; leather-lined. LITTLE LARGER, IONIC TYPE, SELF-PRONOUNCING Number 1939, price, $1.95, postage prepaid. This is the same book as 1919, the same binding and contents, but it has @ coarser print and is a little larger book. Size, 544 x 7% inches. Number 1959, price $3.65, postage prepaid. This is the same book as 1939 except that it has splendid morocco binding, is calf-lined and silk-sewed. Bibles similar in quality and finish are listed in many catalogues at $11. The sale of these books is not restricted to Watch Tower readers. They are valuable aids in Bible study, excellent value in every way and open to the public. We have a good supply of these books in stock now ready for immediate shipment anywhere. Registered at 10c. Remit with order. We can secure such prices only by paying spot cash and must sell on the same terms. Anyone ordering patent index on any of these Bibles should so state and should add twenty-five cents to the price. No. 14 OUR CONVENTION TOUR NO. 1 Having reached Denver on our westward journey, we must give an account of the Lord’s blessings and favors and our experiences; for we well know that the prayers and thoughts of many are with us. Although the blessing of the service keeps us busy continually, our thoughts and vrayers go out to the Lord’s dear flock collectively, and individually in many cases. ‘‘We share our mutual woes, eur mutual burdens bear, and often for each other flows the sympathizing tear.’’ Our first stop was at Cleveland, Ohio, where a meeting had been arranged by the Bible Students in the interests of the Jews. The topic was, ‘‘Zionism the Hope of the World.’’ We will not even outline the discourse, because the interested will have the report from our San Francisco meeting. The meeting was successful in one sense of the word, in that the Lord always blesses those who seek to serve and praise him; but it was not a success in respect to the number of Jews present. Two reasons contributed: (1) It was Friday night, the beginning of the Jewish Sabbath, the worst night in the week, as we subsequently learned, for the Orthodox Jews hold the Sabbath very sacred, and many of them would not even ride upon a street car on that day. (2) The prejudice awakened amongst the Jews by one of their journals calling us a ‘‘missionary’’ has not yet worn out. The audience altogether was probably a little over a thousand, and of these less than half, probably only three hundred, were Jews. The dear friends of the Cleveland class felt a little disappointed that their efforts had not brought larger success. We encouraged them, however, with the thought that having done our best the results were entirely in the Lord’s hands, and the credit that he would give them would be just as great as though five thousand had heard. THE INDIANAPOLIS CONVENTION The night train carried us to Indianapolis, where a convention was already in progress and continued also after our leaving. The attendance was excellent—about six hundred (three or four hundred from the surrounding district). The attendance at the public service to hear [4852]
