“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
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
ean 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 shalilive
on earth forever.

specifically designed to aid Jehovah’s witnesses and all people
of good will. It arranges systematic Bible study for its readers
and the Society supplies other literature to aid in such studies,
It publishes suitable material for radio broadcasting and for
other means of public instruction in the Scriptures.

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 the
Scriptures. It does not indulge in controversy, and its col-
umns are not open to personalities.

ness’’ Testimony, comes neur the climax of the current world-
wide campaign which began last April 9. During this special

tensity in effort. Continue offering the excellent combination of
a year’s subscription for Consolation, the book Enemies (or
Riches), and the new booklet Cure, on a $1.00 contribution.

eriod a favorable time to start exercising boldness by arrang-
ing to then begin taking part in the house-to-house witness,
offering the above splendid combination. Those not already re-
ceiving copies of the Informant with detailed instructions on
this campaign and its procedure, either through a local organi-
zation or direct from here, should get in touch with us. All
assistance will be gladly rendered. All publishers should duly
report in the regular way the results of the witness during
this ‘‘Boldness’’ period.
