fhe WATCHTOWER. PuBsLIsSHED SzuMI-MoNTHLY By WATCH TOWER BIBLE TRACT SOCIETY 117 Adams Street ~ Brooklyn, N. Y., U.S.A. OFFICERS J. ¥. Roruerrorp President W.E. Van AuBuncy Seeretary “And all thy children shall be taught of Jehovah; and great shall be the peace of thy children.”~ Lseiah 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 lis creation and his active agent in the creation of all things; that the Logos is now the Lord Jesus Christ im glory, elothed with all power in heaven and earth, and the Chict Executive Officer of Jehovah, THAT GOD ereated the earth for man, created perfect man for the earth and placed him upon it; that man wilfully disobeyed God’s Jaw and was eentenced to death; that by reason of Adain’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 i8 purposes toward mankind as expressed in the Bible, and to bear tho fruits of the kingdom before all who will hear. THAT THE WORLD haa ended, and the Lord Jesus Christ has been placed by Jehovah upon his throne of authority, has ousted Sutan from heaven and is proceeding to the establishment of God’s kingdom on earth. THAT THE RELIEF and blessings of tho peoples of earth ean come only by and through Jehovah’s kingdom under Christ which has now begun; that the Lord’s next great net ig tho 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 rightcous laws shall be restored and live on earth forever. MEMORIAL For the year 1934 the Memorial of the Lord’s supper will be held after six o’clock on the evening of March 28 The Watchtower hopcs to contain some timely instruction for all those who partake, and we suggest that each one be prepared by thoroughly considering the matter in advance. CONVENTION Los Angeles, March 24-28 inclusive, are the place and time for a convention of Jehovah’s witnesses. All! mectings except Sunday afternoon will be held in the Trinity Auditorium, Grand Ave. and 9th. Sunday afternoon, from 2 to & o’elock, the Shrine Auditorium will be used. At 3:30 to 4 o’elock p.m. Brother Rutherford will deliver an address which will be broadcast from coast to coast, The convention will conclude on the night of the 28th with celebration of the Memorial. The forenoon of each day of the convention will be used for house-to-house witness work. This marks the beginning of the THANKSGIVING Periop. The booklet Dividing the People will be used throughout the entire world during that period. The brethren on the Pacifie coast will have opportunity of a eon- vention, and doubtless most of them will take advantage of it. For further information, address C. V.

Y., Postofice, Act of March 8, 1879. PUBLIC LECTURES BY TRANSCRIPTION Jehovah's blessing has been markedly upon the use of the portable transcription machine. He has plainly manitested that this machine mects the need of the hour, when the enemy, under Gog, is seeking to curtail the use of the radio by God’s anointed and when the people’s ears are eager to hear, not man’s message, but God’s. The transcription machine has in- creased the power of Jehovah’s witnesses afield to preach His truth manyfold, so that the desire for the literature is stimu- lated and study classes of many interested hearers are being formed. Besides more than 300 such machines in the United States alone, great numbers are now being effectively used in countries near and afar.
