| − | LORD IS USING PHONOGRAPH TO HIS PRAISE
| |
| − | Dear BrorHeR RUTHERFORD:
| |
| − | I feel I must write to tell you how much I appreciate the
| |
| − | changes the Lord is now making in this country in order that
| |
| − | his people may be better equipped for greater activity in this
| |
| − | day of war against his enemies. With the coming of Brother
| |
| − | Schroeder in our midst we have been much encouraged to press
| |
| − | forward in this battle. As some have said, ‘‘we had got into a
| |
| − | rut in this country’’; but by the Lord’s help and grace we are
| |
| − | getting out of it and are now on the warpath in real united
| |
| − | action against the forces of the enemy.
| |
| − | It has been my happy privilege to be twenty-seven years in
| |
| − | full-time service, but this is the best time of all; we have so
| |
| − | many rich blessings from the hand of the Lord, it really seems
| |
| − | impossible to enumerate them all. I especially thank him for
| |
| − | Biches and Enemies and for the rich food he is providing for
| |
| − | us through The Watchtower, particularly the recent artichs
| |
| − | on Jeremiah and Jonah. I also desire to thank him for using
| |
| − | you to make such wonderful provision for the pioneers in this
| |
| − | country, the very best we have ever received; and this gracious
| |
| − | provision should encourage many more in this land to enter
| |
| − | full-time service in the ranks of the pioneers.
| |
| − | Being in the special business house service I am unable to
| |
| − | use the phonograph as much as those who are in the ordinary
| |
| − | pioneer service; but I make use of it whenever possible u.d
| |
| − | usually join the local company where I am working on Sundays
| |
| − | in this particular service, and thoroughly enjoy the same. It
| |
| − | is very evident the Lord is using this instrument to his praise
| |
| − | and to the blessing of many people of good will.
| |
| − | Before closing I would like to say how much I appreciate
| |
| − | the change made at ‘‘Kingdom Hall’’, and I am sure you vill
| |
| − | appreciate same when you visit England next time. Hoping it
| |
| − | yi not be long before that happy event, and with much love,
| |
| − | am
| |
| − | Your brother in Jehovah’s service,
| |

| |
| − | MORE DETERMINED THAN EVER
| |
| − | Dear BROTHER RUTHERFORD:
| |
| − | We desire to acknowledge receipt of our new 1938 Year Book,
| |
| − | and to thank the great Jehovah and his King, Christ Jesus, for
| |
| − | this bountiful gift.
| |
| − | As we read the details of the witness work carried on by our
| |
| − | brethren in every part of the world under cruel persecution by
| |
| − | the Roman Catholic Hierarchy and their allies, we are more
| |
| − | determined than ever to assault the hiding place of lies and
| |
| − | fully expose the ‘‘old harlot’’ until she is naked, ashamed and
| |
| − | disgraced.
| |
| − | As pioncer witnesses in the front ranks of the battle of truth
| |
| − | against lies we stand with you, shoulder to shoulder, until His
| |
| − | enemies are made to lick the dust and the name of Jehovah
| |
| − | God is fully and for ever vindicated.
| |
| − | With warm Christian love, we are
| |
| − | Your brethren and fellow witnesses,

| − | OBEDIENT TO ORGANIZATION INSTRUCTIONS
| |
| − | Dear BROTHER RUTHERFORD:
| |
| − | After having been scattered in various parts of the East
| |
| − | for the last eighteen months, we tho undersigned pioneers ure
| |
| − | met together in Batavia, Java, for the purpose of discussing
| |
| − | ways and means of better organizing the Lord’s service in
| |
| − | these parts.
| |
| − | We take this opportunity of unitedly sending to you our
| |
| − | heartfelt greetings and assurance that we are ready and priv-
| |
| − | ileged to follow the instructions of the two great Teachers and
| |
| − | at the same time work shoulder to shoulder with you against
| |
| − | the Devil and his forces to the honor of Jehovah.
| |
| − | All are pleased with the recent progress of the Lord’s service
| |
| − | in the Far East, and interest is now manifest in territory that
| |
| − | had previously seemingly borne no fruit.
| |
| − | Watchtower and Consolation are looked forward to with
| |
| − | eagerness and the spiritual food concerning ‘‘ Understanding’’,
| |
| − | ‘¢Evil Servant,’’ etc., was eagerly devoured. Golden Age re
| |
| − | Salter was read with smiles; for there were many things con-
| |
| − | cerning pioneers that Salter did not know. Even though the
| |
| − | working conditions in these distant lands are at times very
| |
| − | trying, the joy of the Lord is our strength and the pioneer
| |
| − | spirit was never so manifest by the East Indies publishers as
| |
| − | it is at present. Happy is he that getteth understanding.
| |
| − | We are sure that the other pioneers in this territory working
| |
| − | in Malaya, Siam, Indo-China, Sumatra and on the yacht ‘‘ Light-
| |
| − | bearer’? would also like to be with us; we therefore send you
| |
| − | greetings on their behalf.
| |
| − | We assure you of our desire to always work in harmony with
| |
| − | you and be obedient to organization instructions. May the Lord
| |
| − | continue to bless you in your efforts as you seek to magnify
| |
| − | the name of Jehovah.
| |
| − | With much love in the Lord,

| |
| − | ENLIGHTENED OF JEHOVAH
| |
| − | Dear BrorHer RUTHERFORD:
| |
| − | At the December studies at Bethel it has been our privilege
| |
| − | and pleasure to study the first two articles of ‘‘His Work and
| |
| − | His Act’’, and the attendances at the said meetings were 9,
| |
| − | 9, 7, and 10.
| |
| − | We esteem it a privilege to be amongst those who are en-
| |
| − | lightened of Jehovah and are able to sce the importance of these
| |
| − | prophecies and their lessons for us. When we consider the great-
| |
| − | ness of our enemies and all the efforts which they are putting
| |
| − | forward to destroy those who have faith in Jehovah, our pray-
| |
| − | ers of gratitude arise tu the Lord for all the assurances and
| |
| − | evidences of his watchcare.
| |
| − | The witness which to our enemies appears so strange is to
| |
| − | us the most reasonable thing, and it is surely inspiring to sce
| |
| − | how, even down to the smallest details as to the manner and
| |
| − | spirit in which the work shall be done, the Lord, in this proph-
| |
| − | ecy of Jeremiah, has given us explicit instruction.
| |
| − | Our desire is to faithfully use the opportunities which are
| |
| − | ours to proclaim the praises of Jehovah.
| |
| − | With warm love and best wishes,
| |
| − | Your brethren in Jehovah’s service,
| |
| − | Berne. Famny, Copenhagen,
