and only those who turn to Jehovah God shall live.
To those who love God the light is now shining more
brilliantly than ever, and just preceding that great
evil day it is an obligation laid upon the parents to
see that their children are taught to remember the
Creator and his provision made for his creatures, and
especially to impress that upon them before that terri¬
ble day breaks upon the earth. It will be only those
who have been taught that can be fortified. Those who
are now taught to remember and serve the Creator,
Jehovah God, and his kingdom will be the ones in line
for the protection and blessing of the Lord. The trutli
is set forth in a simple way in The. Harp of God, and
this may be used to instruct the children; and, by the
Lord’s grace, the Society will soon have a publication
especially for the benefit of the “great multitude”.
LETT
THINGS HID, NOW MADE MANIFEST
Dear Brother Rutherford:
Loving and happy Christian greetings in the name of Christ
Jesus, Zion’s King. The undersigned company take this op¬
portunity to drop you a few lines though we are aware of how
busily engaged you are in the “King’s business’’; still we
cannot forbear expressing to you in a feeble way the great
appreciation we have for you, and our thankfulness to our
loving heavenly Father for using you as an elder, in the real
meaning of that term as made manifest to us lately from the
temple, to convey through his earthly channel the Watch Tower
and you his willing servant to the Lord’s people the “food
convenient’’ for us; we have reference to the articles appear¬
ing in the Watchtowers of August 1 and 15 respecting “The
Great Multitude’’. Language fails us to express ourselves as
we would like to in appieciation to God for this special feast,
which is some of the ‘things hid from generations past but
now made manifest to his saints ’. We are very glad to express
ourselves as being fully in harmony with the light thrown on
the “great multitude”, that there is no need for stumbling,
but that we are seeing “eye to eye” with that which we have
received from our Teachers, Jehovah and Christ Jesus, and
the intent of our heart is fully expressed in the words of the
psalmist David as recorded in Psalm 27: 4. We are one hun¬
dred-percent devoted to the Lord’s work which he is doing in
the earth, and the Watch Tower Society, his earthly vehicle,
and you, dear Brother Rutherford, who so unselfishly are daily
laying down your life in sacrifice in Jehovah’s cause and on
the behalf of his people. Our sincere prayer to the Lord is that
he will continue to keep you in his “secret place” and use you
as you devote yourself to the King of kings and Lord of lords.
We look forward with sharpened appetites to the further light
to be thrown on “prisoners”, the “priests”, the “Leifites”,
the “scapegoat”, “Samson,” and the ‘foolish virgins’. Our
united prayers go out on your behalf to the end that the Lord
may bless, preserve and direct you to carry out the work he
has given you to do until you shall hear his “Well done”.
Yours by grace in vindication service,
Port Limon (Costa Rica) company of Jehovah’s witnesses.
GLAD TO SERVE
Dear Judge:
I want to say that I am deeply appreciative of the wonder¬
ful work that you are doing in the interest of the coming
kingdom, and I am convinced from your writings, which I am
sure are inspired by the flashes from the temple, that Arma¬
geddon is near at hand, and I rejoice to know that the evil
reign of Satan over the people of this earth is about to be
brought to a close.
For some years past I have been a subscriber for The Watch¬
tower, and also The Golden Age, and it has afforded me genuine
pleasure in keeping up with the correct interpretations as con¬
tained in your writings relating to the closing scenes of this
age.
With the hope that I may be considered as a humble Jona-
dab I have contributed, and am still contributing, in a humble
way to help those faithful men and women who are going from
house to house distributing literature telling of the close ap¬
proach of that kingdom which our blessed Redeemer taught
us to ever pray for.
Although not a very old man, yet I have become convinced
that I don’t want any longer to be an active practitioner of
my profession as a lawyer, for the reason that I want to wholly
ERS
sever my connections with any and all worldly organizations
so that I will not have anything to divide my loyalty toward
the coming kingdom.
In this connection I will state that some four years ago I
was elected by the Bar Association of Rusk County as its
first president, which office I am still holding, although wo
have not met as an association for something like three years,
and really such organization is now virtually defunct. How¬
ever, I would like to have your advice as to whether I should
tender my resignation as president of this virtually defunct
organization in order that I might be fully severed from any
and all organizations which might be a part and parcel of
Satan’s world.
I have let it be known heretofore to all of Jehovah’s wit¬
nesses that I would gladly go to their rescue, free of charge,
and give them the benefit of my legal services should they get
into any trouble with officers of the law by reason of their
work. That is to say, X have given all of Jehovah’s witnesses
that I have come in contact with this information, and I here
and now tender to you, as president of the Watch Tower Bible
& Tract Society, my services to help any and all of Jehovah’s
witnesses who may get into trouble with officers of the law by
reason of their work in this section of Texas; my services to
be given free.
And in this connection it has occurred to me that my services
in behalf of such of Jehovah’s witnesses as may be oppressed
by reason of their work might, as president of the Bar Asso¬
ciation of Rusk County, be more effective in their behalf than
were I only a private practitioner of the law. Therefore I
would thank you to give me your ideas on the subject above
mentioned.
Permit me to say that I have especially enjoyed your
thorough explanation of the Scriptures relating to the “great
multitude” class. I have been greatly comforted by such ex¬
planation, and the fact that it has been given to you to explain
such Scriptures further convinces me that Armageddon is close
at hand.
I am sending you herewith my check for . . . which I want
you to use in any way that you see proper for the advance¬
ment of the blessed kingdom which we are all praying for.
May God bless you and the noble work that you are doing
in furtherance of the coming kingdom, is my constant prayer.
Yours in the true faith,
R. T. Jones, Texas.
A GREAT PRIVILEGE
Dear Brother Rutherford:
For Jehovah and for Gideon. Greetings.
Indeed it was a great privilege for the opportunities which
we have had in having a part in declaring and announcing the
name of our great God Jehovah of Hosts and of his kingdom
through Christ Jesus, which is the only hope for mankind.
We thank our God, making mention of you and all the breth¬
ren, and our prayers are that Jehovah will continue to use us
all and that we may remain faithful to the end. W'e wish to
express our love and thanks to the many friends who have
been wilting to us and who have come to visit us while in¬
carcerated, and wish Jehovah’s rich blessings upon all who
faithfully serve and seek to do His will.
With much Christian love,
Your brethren in Jehovah’s service,
Peter Semansky,
Alice Rosendahl,
Ella Hering, New Jersey.
