with
him victorious would be the called,
the chosen, ami the faithful. Many have been
called, and many chosen. The question now
remains, Who will be faithful? Faithful means
not only to be full of faith, but to prove that
faith
by
Otlt"· w01'ks,
by unreservedly declaring
ourselvP" on the
side
of the Lord. He has
gra-
ciou~ly
provided the
.
means for us not uuly
to
giYe
a
mental
assent
to
his
side
but to take
our
stand
on his
side
and
give
the witness
for
him.- While we are thus giving the
witness
we
are preparing ourselves for the glorious kirig-
dOJil.
Takiug
a
retrospective view
of
the work, we
see
that siuce the
end
ef
the Gentile times
each

forth-
some
special
effort as

1914
was the Photo-
Drama of Creation, a
world-wide

in
1915
and
1916
carne the Pastoral work; in
1917
and
1918
the campaign for "The Finished Mys-
tery", resulting in
1918
and

A Marked Year
Nineteen
Hundred
Twenty-One is here,
and
we are well inl'o it. All the full;x consecrated
believe
that this is
one.
of the most
important
years of the harvest, and certainly none has
been more important
since
the
end
of the Gen-
1lle
times.
'
We may
expect
the battle to in-
crease
in
fierceness this
year, the forces of
dark-
ne's
s
warring
against
the
forces
.of
light ; and
while this is
on,
mankind is
suffering.
Now ask
yourself:
What
may I do to prove that I
am
on the Lord's
side?
The
Lord
has provided the
weapons of warfare for his people. "The weap-
ons
of
our warfare
o,re
not carnal, but mighty
through God to the pulling down of stt·ong-
holrls."-2 Corinthians
10:4.
We
!mow that
the
demons
are
the ones who
m·e
playing this
fmud upon
the
people. The
booklet recently issued by
the Society,
"Talking
with the Dead", gives the
strong
argument of
the proponents themselves
and then
shows the
fl':IUd and
fallacy
of that argument by
the Scrip-
tural proof. There has been no
weapon placed
in
the
hands
of
the Lord's people
I'ecently
that
is
so effective
in destroying
the
intluence
of
these evil ones
on
the rnin<ls of the people as
this booklet, "'l'alking With the
Dead": This
delusion of
spiritism that
has
come
upon
man-
kind thro11gh
the
forees of the Adversary is
one
of
the
greatest
delusions of the' age;
imd it
is
the duty as
well
as the privilege
of every
follow-
er of
.Jesus,
every
one who is
fighting
under his
banner, to
aid
in disposing
of this stronghold of
error.
'!'he
whole creation
is
groaning
and travailing
under
pain.
·
Thet·e
are millions of widows and
o1·phans
in the
earth
as a result
of
the
great
World War
and
of the pestilence that followed
thereafter. There
is
great distress amongst the
peoples of
earth
nationally, politically, finan-
cially, in a business
way,
in every
way.
Millions
of
hearts
are
made
sad, and
they
get
no comfort
from
those
who claim
to be
the
tea~hers
in
nominal Zion. The Lord.
in the exercise of
his
loving
kindness, has brought to light
just
at the
proper time the message of
comfort; and
since
he has commissioned the church to bind up the
broken-hearted and to comfort those that
mourn,
clearly then our
privile~Z:<i'
is marked out. This
message is set forth
in
the otlter little booklet
Strongholds o(
Error
One of the
strongholds
of Satan's empire is
his entrenched
·
false and faithless

syRtemR.
He has long caused the people to be

fni'nished by the Society, "Millions Now Living
Will Never
Die":
A careful examination of Matthew 24:7-14
conclusively
shows
that this
is
the message now
that must
go
to the worltl, to those who desire
to have
their
hearts. comforted. The question
was propounded to Jesus, How may we know
when we have come to the
entl of
the worl(,l?
And after
giving
the
answer
to that question
in the verses preceding the 14th, he reaches a
climax in that verse,
sa~·ing,
"And this gospel
(this
good
news] of
·the
kingdom
shall
be
preached in all the world for a witness unto
all nations, and then the end shall come". His
words ring in the
ears of
Christians today,
call-
ing them to battle against the forces of dm·k-
ness that are blinding and making
sa<l
the
hearts of t11e people.
'l'his

true message of
comfort, one that will bind up

broken
heat·ts,
one that
will

those that mourn.
it is just as essential to participate in the
.ser-
vice of the Lord as it is to uttend a meeting.
The Apostle makes
it
clear that
vigilance
and
activity in the service are essential in the war-
fare against the
forces
of the Adversary. (1
Pet.

If
you were engaged in THE GoLDEN
AGE work, you may have f,ound it difficult to
solicit subscriptions; but we
are
quite certain,
in view
of
the present
conditions and
the
great
desire of the people for
some
message of
com-
fort, that witlt the combination now arranged-
'"l'he
I~inished
Mystery", "Talking
·with
the
Dead", and
~"Millions
Now Living 'Vill Never
Die"-you
w[\1
be
surprised at
the success you
\vill have in putting this message into the hands
of the people.
Canvass
The combination offer we recommend is these
three booklets for 55
cents.
As
a
canvass we
suggest
the following :
·
"Good morning
!
"Do
you li:now that millions now living will never
.
die? (holding up the booklet as
you say
this)
"Yes,
I mean that
you
have
excellent chances
ot
neYer using your cemetery Jot or hiring an undertaker.
"This
booklet
by Judge Rutherford tells why the
people now living have such pros pects, notwithstand-
ing the
fact
that people h
a
Ye been
dying
for years.
And why
is
this so now?
"There is
spedal significance
in the
troubles
we are
now
havin~.
'!'hey
were
.
foretold long ago by the
prophetR. 'l'he
great
'Vorl<! 'Var. the
famines
we all
.
know of,
the pestilence--inftuenza epidemic,
the
typhus
scourge
now sweeping gurope--the falling
away of
the
cl
ergy
and their union with the financial
powers and pro
fession a
l politicians, the establishment
of
the J
ews
a
s
a
nation-all th
ese
happenin:; at this
time form real
and corroborative
proof that millions
noW living will never die.
"Many
people ridiculed Pastor Russell and the
International
Bible
Students Association's message
spread broadcast since 1881, that the Bible prophe-
sied a world war in 1914. The war came on
time.
Now their. message 'millions now livint; will never
die' is beint; regarded seriously.
"That
millions now living will never die is an
absolute
fact.
It
is
stated
in every book of the Bible,
by
every writer-the
prophets, our Lord Jesus
an~
all of the Apostles (here be leafing over the ScriP-
.
tural references in the rear of the booklet) --even
though it has been.
entirely
overlooked by the modern
clergy.
"Then
comes
up the question,
If
we are never t;OiDJ!:
to die,
what
about our immortal
souls?
and especi-
ally since our professors now tell us that they are._
communicatinl': with the dead. This is
a
delusion.
These men are really communicating
with
demon11.
Isn't it quite a coincidence that spiritism is spread·
int; at the same time that the world is having iW
troubles? This book demonstrates that this is
th•
stronu
delusion that God would send in the last days.
"I believe you will agree with me that this subject
is of such vital concern as to be worth one
evenln~:'-s
time for Investigation (for that is all the .time neces-
sary to read it).

the question:
Can
I afford to neglect
these
instruments now? Is it not my

that
God has pronounced his decree
of
,]p,;truction
against
jt,
that the judgment is
written
and
that this judgment must be exe-
cuted"? Shall I have
a
part in the
execution
of
it'!
You will find the answer to that question
in
the !49th Psalm.
Het·e
the Psalmist
says:
"To execute upon them the judgment written:
this honor have all the saints". Then it neces-
sarily follows if you are one of the saints who
will stmid victorious with the Lord at the end
of
this conflict
you
will
participate in this work.
We are calling
your attention
to these facts,
not for the purpose of urging you to
enter
the
battle, but that you may see your privilege;
and we
feel assured
that when you do
see
it you
will be
like
Jeremiah, in whose heart the word
Qf
the- Lord was "as a burning fire shut up in
[his] bones", urging him on so that he could

Service Essential
How much time each week can you give to
this service?
If
only one day, then that should
be
used for that purpose.
If
you can give tw•
or three days, so much the better. If all the
time, greater is your privilege. Remember that

Keeping Interest
A
live
On
e of
the
important features
of the campaign is
te
see that the interest awakened is kept awake.
Bndeavor
to have the people to whom
you sell the
UQOks
promise that they will
read them.
Then, by
making
a
second
call, take advantat;e of the
interest
that has been awakened.
Do not
wait a month or
two, by which time
it
will
probably have died, hut
<;all
t
he
nex
t
week
if
possible. No matter
how
much
peopl
e
are impressed with your argument or with th
!l
good
news
you bring
them,
it
is
soon forgotten unless
the
mind
iR
refreshed.
Each time
you
have
j;o re-
a11'aken interest
there
is
j'ust
that much
time
lost.
So,
then, it you
have disposed of the
combination oft'er,
we
suggest that yeur second
call be with a
canvass
for the
~et
of
Seven Volumes and the
GOLDEN

In making the

you have previ-
eusly
8old them,
but
proceed
on the
assumption that
