"And all thy children shall be taught of Jehovah; and
great shall be the peace of thy children.” - Isaiah 54:13.
THE SCRIPTURES CLEARLY TEACH
THAT JEHOVAH is the only true God, is from everlasting
to everlasting, the Maker of heaven and earth and the Giver
of life to his creatures; that the Logos was the beginning of
his creation and his active agent in the creation of all
things: that the Logos is now the Lord Jesus Christ in glory,
clothed with all power in heaven and earth, and 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 wilfully
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 JESUS was made human, and the man Jesus suf¬
fered death in order to produce the ransom or redemptive
price for all mankind; that God raised up Jesus divine and
exalted him to heaven above every creature and above every
name and clothed him with all power and authority.
THAT JEHOVAH'S ORGANIZATION is 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 fruits of the kingdom before all who will hear.
THAT THE WORLD has ended, 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 God’s kingdom on earth.
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 estab¬
lishment of righteousness in the earth, and that under the
kingdom all those who will obey its righteous laws shall live-
on earth forever.
ITS MISSION
HIS journal is published for the purpose of enabling
the people to know Jehovah God and his purposes as
expressed in the Bible. It publishes Bible instruction
specifically designed to aid Jehovah's witnesses. It arranges
systematic Bible study for its readers and supplies other liter¬
ature to aid in such studies. It publishes suitable material
for radio broadcasting and for other means of public instruc¬
tion in the Scriptures.
It adheres strictly to the Bible as authority for its utter¬
ances. It is entirely free and separate from all parties, sects
or other worldly organizations. It is wholly and without
reservation for the kingdom of Jehovah God under Christ
his Beloved King. It is not dogmatic, but invites careful
and critical examination of its contents in the light of tho
Scriptures. It does not indulge in controversy, and its col¬
umns are not open to personalities.

“THE TESTIMONY OF FAITHFULNESS” PERIOD
Appropriate to the covenant of faithfulness for the kingdom
into which the approved ones are taken, the nine days, Decem¬
ber 7 to 15 inclusive, of special action in unity have been
designated “The Testimony of Faithfulness”, Those anointed
ones who will be faithful unto death will be found diligent
during that period in advancing the testimony of Jesus Christ
as commanded by Jehovah. All present Jonadab brethren will
faithfully join in, thereby maintaining their integrity toward
the Lord. All together will concentrate on placing the latest
book and booklet, Jehovah and Government, with everyone con¬
tributing 25c. Previous testimony periods emphasize the wis¬
dom and helpfulness of thinking, planning and arranging now
for your sharing in this one as largely as you can. All the
faithful will bestir themselves. The usual report thereon of
work you do will be submitted, direct to this office if you arc
not under supervision of one of our branch offices.
YEAR BOOK 1936
The Year Book, including the annual report of the activities
of Jehovah’s witnesses throughout the earth, is nearing com¬
pletion and will go on the press shortly. All those devoted to
the Lord, including the remnant and the Jonadabs, will be
anxious to read this report and to have the benefit of the year
text and the daily comments on the daily texts. Only a limited
number of these can be published, and therefore the cost of
publication makes it necessary for us to receive fifty cents a
copy for this book. Orders sent in early will enable us to know
how many to manufacture. Please place your orders as soon as
convenient. Each company of Jehovah’s witnesses and the Jona¬
dabs may send in orders through the company secretary. Your
early attention to this will be appreciated.
CALENDER FOR 1936
The text “For Jehovah and for Gideon” (Judges 7:18,
A.Il.F.) is appropriate for Jehovah’s publishers, and therefore
it will be used for 1936 the same as for 1935. Calendars are
being prepared for those who desire them. The same illustra¬
tion will be used; however, the general design and appearance
will be different, the calendar pad, of course, for the year
1936. The companies and individuals will please send in orders
as soon as possible, for the number required for 1936, as we
wish to print only what are required. The price will be, for
single calendar, 25c; for lots of five or more, 20c each.
