ORY
FOR
LIGHT
ANSWERED
DEAR
BRETHREN:-
We
regret
to
hear
of
our
beloved
Pastor's
passing
away;
for
it
was
one
of
his
sermons
in
the
Winnipeg
Free
Pre88
that
8ta'rted
us
in
the
truth.
We
were
siek
and
tired
of
what
the
churches
were
giving
us;
80
we
left
them.
But
we
did
not
leave
the
Lord.
We
cried
aloud
unto
him
and
he
heard
us
by
sending
a
little
light
in
that
sermon.
Then
a
few
months
later,
we
~ot
the
STl:DIF1S
IN
THE
SCRIPTURF.8;
and
now
we
know
that
we
read
and
understand
the
Scriptures:
not
through
the
wisdom
of
man,
but
through
the
wisdom
which
cometh
down
from
lLbove.
We
are
glad
to
see
that
our
dear
PlLBtor,
whom
having
not
seen
yet
we
loved,
has
left
his
house
in
order,
that
all
things
may
<!ontinue
the
same.
My
wife
and
I
are
alone
here
in
the
truth,
yet
not
alone,
as
he
that
is
for
us
is
more
than
all
that
are
against
us,
We
pray
that
God's
richest
blessing
may
continue
to
rest

DEAR

Enclosed
find
Report
ending
Sept.
30.
I
am
glad
to
say
that
of
late
I
fiad
more
interest
manifested
in
the
truth
than
ever
-before.
Another
thing
very
noticeable
is
that
some
people
are
becoming
less
prejudiced
and
are
investigating,
and
others
are
becoming
so
prejudiced
that
they
will
not
investigate.
One
class
is
talking
more
fa.vorably
of
the
truth;
the
other
is
denouncing
it
more
vehemently.
I
have
met
several
of
the
latter
class
who
would
make
things
pretty
lively
for
the
1.
B.

A.
if
it
were
in
their
power.
I
was
recently
told
that
I
wa..q
doing
more
harm
putting
out
those
books
and
explaining
such
"devU's
doc·
trines"
than
all
the
preachers
put
together
could
rectify;
and
that
something
ought
to
be
done
to
tltop
those
people
calling
themselves
Bible
Students
going
around
and
deceiving
people!
It
occurred
to
me
that
if
I,
one
of
the
least
in
the
work,
am
doing
so
much
damage
to
the
devil's
cause
that
all
the
preachers
can't
rectify
it,
what
will
the
end
be-soon!

January 15, 1917 literature, and then it was on a rack mixed up in a disorderly way with Christian Science literature. At one station we saw an J. B. 8. A. box with no literature. We know from THe Watcu Tower that many of the towns have I. B. S. A. classes, and we could not help thinking an opportunity for spreading the truth was being missed by not providing notices of meetings and literature with boxes to keep it, at every available station. If this suggestion were followed it would provide not only reading matter for the public, but also information regarding places of meeting for the benefit of traveling friends. Yours in the Lord’s service, Mrs. ELtten HuntTER.—Iil. CRY FOB LIGHT ANSWERED Dpar BRETHREN :— We regret to hear of our beloved Pastor’s passing away; for it was one of his sermons in the Winnipeg Free Press that started us in the truth. We were sick and tired of what the churches were giving us; 80 we left them. But we did not leave the Lord. We cried aloud unto him and he heard us by sending a little light in that sermon. Then a few months later, we got the STUDIAS IN THE SCRIPTURES; and now we know that we read and understand the Scriptures: not through the wisdom of man, but through the wisdom which cometh down from above, We are glad to see that our dear Pastor, whom having not seen yet we loved, has left his house in order, that all things may continue the same. My wife and I are alone here in the truth, yet not alone, as he that is for us is more than all that are against us. We pray that God’s richest blessing may continue to rest upon the Bethel home.

I go on rejoicing, thankful for this further opportunity of telling out the glad tidings. In about four hours recently I took orders for three full sets at the new prices; also orders for three first volumes. (This, by the way, waa in the follow-up work and quite a little of the time was spent in explaining the chart to interested ones.)

ONE WHO CAN CHASE A THOUSAND Dear BRETHREN :— Enclosed find Report ending Sept. 30, I am glad to say that of late I find more interest manifested in the truth than ever before. Another thing very noticeable is that some people are becoming less prejudiced and are investigating, and others are becoming so prejudiced that they will not investigate. One class is talking more favorably of the truth; the other is denouncing it more vehemently. I have met several of the latter class who would make things pretty lively for the I. B. S. A. if it were in their power. I was recently told that I was doing more harm THE WATCH TOWER (31-35) putting out those books and explaining such “devil’s doctrines” than all the preachers put together could rectify; and that something ought to be done to stop those people calling themselves Bible Students going around and deceiving people! It occurred to me that if I, one of the least in the work, am doing so much damage to the devil’s cause that al] the preachers can’t rectify it, what will the end be—soon!

Y., FEBRUARY 1, 1917 No. 3 HOW THE CHURCH RENDER JUSTICE AND JUDGMENT ‘To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.’’—Proverbs 21:3. Justice and judgment are two words which are very closely allied in meaning. Justice represents that principle of righteousness, truth, honesty, which is the basis of the divine law; and judgment seems to mean the enforcing of the principle ot justice and the giving of rewards or punishments in proportion as justice would be obeyed or infracted. All of God’s people should, to the best of their ability, live justly. Justice—the Golden Rule—should be the standard of life. All those who desire to be pleasing to God should measure with the Golden Rule every act, every word, every thought. Nothing is said in our text about doing more than justice; it states simply what is just, what ia right. Judgment might come in respecting the punishing of ourselves or re specting our dealings with any one else over whom we properly have control; as, for instance, the parent with the child. If you are a parent, you render judgment to the child for wrongdoing and commend him for well-doing. It is the duty of the parent so to do. A magistrate, also, might have the right to punish for wrong-doing. God would expect these to render judgment—the proper reward or punishment for the well-doing or evil-doing—because that is in their province, in their control. It is not for each individual to mete out judgment to other individuals; for this would make a kind of anarchy throughout the world, quite out of harmony with the divine law. In 80ciety we have laws to which, if any one does another an injustice, the injured one would have the right to appeal for pro [6037]
