“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 willfully dis-
obeyed 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 Hfe.
THAT JESUS was made human, and the man Jesus suffered
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 creature and above every name
and clothed him with all power and authority.
THAT JEHOVAH’S ORGANIZATION is a Theocracy called Zion,
and that Christ Jesus is the Chief Officer thereof and is the right-
ful King of the world; that the anointed and faithful followers of
Christ Jesus are children of Zion, members of Jehovah's organiza-
tion, 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 establishment of righteousness in
the earth, and that under the kingdom the people of good will that
survive Armageddon shall carry out the divine mandate to “fill
the earth” with a righteous race.

“NEW EARTH” TESTIMONY PERIOD
June is thus designated, and the activities outlined for the
month are related to the work now proceeding of laying the foun-
dation of the new earth. Jonadabs as well as the anointed king-
dom publishers will rejoice to have part therein. An attractive
special offer should make June outstanding for the placement of
booklets, to wit, seven booklets on a contribution of but 25c, three
being self-covered and four being colored-cover booklets. People
unable to take the combination will be offered the new booklet
Fascism or Freedom on any contribution they can afford. This
applies to foreign-language booklets also. Fuller details are to
be found in the Informant. Your part now is to prepare and equip
yourself for an active share in this testimony period. A good
report for the month is expected from you.
IMPOSTORS
Persons going about the country, and claiming to be in the
truth and Jehovah’s witnesses, present themselves at different
places and collect money and get other favors of the brethren.
We warn the brethren everywhere to have nothing to do with
these impostors.
CONVENTION
At New York City, June 23-25, a convention of Jehovah's
witnesses will be held. Thousands desire to attend who are too
far away, and for their convenience arrangements are being made
to connect Los Angeles, Chicago and some other cities in the
United States, and London, Glasgow and other citics in England,
by wire direct from Madison Square Garden in New York City.
The president of the Society will address the convention on Sat-
urday the 24th, from 3: 00 to 4: 00 p.m., and on Sunday, June 25,
will address the public, 4: 00 to 5:00 p.m., New York time. Other
cities desiring to be tied in to this convention should notify the
Brooklyn office immediately. More details later.
