"And

all

thy

children

shall

be

tau~ht

of

Jehovah;

and

grea.t

shall

be

the

peace

of

thy

children."

-

Isaiah

54:

IJ.

THE

BIBLE

CLEARLY

TEACHES

THAT

JEHOVAH

Is

the

only

true

God,

from

everlasting

to

everlustlng,

and

Is

the

Maker

of

heaven

and

earth

and

Giver

of

life

to

his

creatures;

that

the

Word

or

Logos

was

the

beginning

of

his

creation

and

his

aCUve

agent

in

creating

all

other

things;

and

that

the

creature

Lucifer

rebelled

against

Jehovah

and

raised

the

Issue

of

His

universal

sovereignty;

THAT

GOD

created

the

earth

for

man,

made

perfect

man

for

the

earth

and

placed

him

upon

it;

that

man

yielded

to

unfaithful

Lucifer,

or

Satan,

and

willfully

disobe~'ed

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

as

the

man

Jesus

and

suf

fered

death

in

order

to

produce

the

ransom

or

redemptive

price

for

obedient

men;

that

God

raised

up

Christ

Jesus

dIvine

and

exalted

him

to

heaven

above

every

other

creature

and

clothed

him

with

all

power

and

authority

as

head

of

God's

new

capital

organization;

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

new

world;

that

the

faithful

anointed

followers

of

Christ

Jesus

are

Zion's

children,

members

of

Jehovah's

organization,

and

are

His

witnesses

whose

duty

and

privilege

it

is

to

testify

to

Jehovah's

supremacy

and

declare

his

purposes

toward

mankind

as

expressed

in

the

Bible;

THAT

THE

OLD

WORLD,

or

Satan's

uninterrupted

rule,

ended

A.D.

1914,

and

Christ

Jesus

has

been

placed

by

Jehovah

upon

the

throne,

has

ousted

Satan

from

heaven,

and

now

proceeds

to

vindIcate

His

name

and

establish

the

"new

earth";

THAT

THE

RELIEF

and

blessings

of

the

peoples

can

come

only

by

Jehovah's

kingdom

under

Christ,

which

has

begun;

that

His

next

great

act

Is

to

destroy

Satan's

organization

and

establish

righteousness

completely

in

the

earth;

and

that

under

the

Kingdom

the

people

of

good-will

surviving

Armageddon

will

carry

out

the

divIne

mandate

to

"fill

the

earth"

With

righteous

otrspring,

and

that

the

human

dead

in

the

graves

will

be

raised

to

opportunities

of

life

on

earth.

VACATION

So

that

the

companies

and

pIOneers

might

be

prepared

to

carry

on

the

field

activities

with

the

aid

of

Somety

publications,

it

is

suggested

that

orders

for

literature

be

placed

with

the

Society

well

in

advance

of

August

1,

1949.

Tills

information

is

gI,en

now

because

the

Bethel

home

and

the

factory

will

be

closed

from

August

6

to

the

21st,

incluSlve,

so

that

the

members

of

the

Bethel

home

will

have

the

opportumty

of

getting

a

change

from

their

regular

work.

No

correspondence

Wlll

be

handled

during

these

two

weeks

as

far

as

the

Brooklyn

office

is

concerned;

so

i~dividu

als

ordering

supplies

should

have

their

orders

in

to

117

Adams

Street,

Brooklyn.

New

York,

no

later

than

the

1st

of

August.

It

would

be

better

to

get

them

in

much

sooner

and

not

wait

until

the

last-minute

rush.

Companies

and

pioneers

should

send

in

thelI

regular

monthly

report

cards,

and

indiVlduals

whose

subscriptions

for

this

magazlDe

expire

should

also

send

their

subscriptions

in

i=ediately,

regardless

of

the

closing-down

period,

because

they

will

be

given

immediate

attention

on

the

reopening

of

the

offices

of

the

Society

on

the

22nd

of

August.

"CONTENDING

TESTIMONY

PERIOD

The

best

way

to

contend

and

put

up

a

defense

it.

doing

with
