TltE

SCRIPTURES

CLEARLY

TEACH

THAT

JEHOVAH

is

the

only

true

God

and

is

from

everlasting

to

everlasting,

the

Maker

of

heaven

and

earth

and

the

Giver

of

life

to

his

creatures;

that

the

Logos

was

the

beginnmg

of

his

creation,

and

his

active

agent

in

the

creation

of

all

other

things,

and

is

now

the

Lord

Jesus

Christ

in

glory,

clothed

with

all

power

in

heaven

and

earth,

as

the

Chief

Executive

Officer

of

Jehovah;

THAT

GOD

created

the

earth

for

man,

created

perfect

man

for

the

earth

and

placed

him

upon

it;

that

man

willfully

disobeyed

God's

law

and

was

sentenced

to

death;

that

by

reason

of

Adam's

wrong

act

all

men

are

born

sinners

and

without

the

right

to

life;

THAT

THE

LOGOS

was

made

human

aa

the

man

Jesus

and

mffered

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

other

creature

and

above

every

creature's

name

and

clothed

him

with

all

power

and

authority;

THAT

GOD'S

CAPITAL

ORGANIZATION

Is

a

Theocracy

called

Zion,

and

that

Christ

Jesus

Is

the

Chief

Officer

thereof

and

Is

the

rightful

King

of

the

world;

that

the

anointed

and

faithful

followers

of

Christ

Jesus

are

children

of

Zion,

members

of

Jehovah's

organization,

and

are

his

witnesses

whose

duty

and

privilege

it

is

to

testify

to

the

supremacy

of

Jehovah,

declare

his

purposes

toward

mankind

as

expressed

in

the

Bible,

and

to

bear

the

frults

of

the

Kingdom

before

all

who

will

hear;

THAT

THE

OLD

WORLD

ended

in

A.

D.

1914,

and

the

Lord

Jesus

Christ

has

been

placed

by

Jehovah

upon

his

throne

of

authority,

has

ousted

Satan

from

heaven

and

is

proceeding

to

the

establishment

of

the

"new

earth"

of

the

New

World;

THAT

THE

RELIEF

and

blessings

of

the

peoples

of

earth

can

come

only

by

and

through

Jehovah's

kingdom

under

Christ,

which

has

now

begun;

that

the

Lord's

next

great

act

is

the

destruction

of

Satan's

organization

and

the

complete

establish

ment

of

righteousness

m

the

earth,

and

that

under

the

Kingdom

the

people

of

good-will

that

sUlVlve

Armageddon

shall

carry

out

the

divine

mandate

to

"fill

the

earth"

With

a

righteous

race.

MEMORIAL

CELEBRATION

The

time

to

celebrate

the

Memorial

this

year

is

after

6

p.m

,

Standard

Time,

on

Wednesday,

March

28.

At

an

agreed

hour,

let

each

company

assemble

on

that

night,

and

the

anomted

one~

there

of

partake

of

the

emblems,

their

compalllons

the

"other

sheep"

being

present

as

observers.

Before

the

MemOrIal

emblems

are

par

taken

of,

let

a

competent

brother

deliver

a

brief

dIScourse

extempo

raneously

or

read

paragraphs

selected

from

past

Watchtower

articles

on

the

Memorlal

to

those

assembled.

Since

the

brealung

of

bread

and

drinking

of

wine

both

symbolize

the

death

in

which

Chnst's

body-members

share,

both

the

bread

and

the

wine

should

be

served

together

at

partaking,

the

bread

bemg

unleavened

and

the

wine

red.

Most

certainly

Jesus

and

his

disciples

used

red

wIDe

to

correspond

with

his

blood

poured

out

in

death,

and

we

should

harmonize

with

them.

Let

all

companies

or

groups

report

thell'

celebration,

showing

both

the

total

attendance

and

partakers.
