THE MEMORIAL SUPPER

We again remind those who are trusting in the precious blood of the propriety and profit of celebrating our dear Redeemer’s death upon its anniversary, after the example of the early Church,—this year on Thursday evening, April 19th, after 6 P.M. See particulars in TOWER of March 1, 1894. We also repeat our suggestion that the little groups be supported—that the abler ones do not forsake their brethren at home to attend the Allegheny meeting or any other.

In reply to inquiries as to a good order to be observed at such meetings we suggest the following:—

Meet at 7.30 P.M. Open with a hymn and a prayer. Then explain the import of the Memorial Supper and its type, the Passover supper. Then explain (or read from this TOWER) the import of the bread. Then have a prayer of thanks for the bread. Then pass it to all the believers. Next speak of the import of the “cup” as an emblem (or read from TOWER). Then let some one offer prayer and thanks specially for the blessings represented in the “cup.” Then pass it to those who commune. Close with a hymn, and disperse (without gossip) with your minds resting upon the remarkable events which followed the first memorial—Gethsemane, Pilate’s court, Herod’s soldiers, and Calvary.

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT ADDRESSES

We are always glad to receive lists of addresses of persons likely to be interested in the truth—good people, honest people, regardless of church-membership. Send all you can that we may send them reading matter—Old Theology Tracts, Sample TOWERS, etc.

We have inquiry from some as to what they would best do when others ask them for addresses of WATCH TOWER subscribers. We answer, You would best not comply with such requests. You do not know what use may be made of them. You do not know but what some kind of poison might thus be administered to some “babe” in Christ, for whose injury you would thus be partially responsible. When you send us names, you know the kind of reading matter we intend sending. It is only those who know what we publish and who agree with the same that we invite to send us addresses.

The article “Personal Liberty—Its Responsibility,” in March 1, TOWER applies to this matter and to everything else we seek to do for God.

WILL IT APPLY TO THE BIBLE?

We are asked how the following extract from the article, “Personal Liberty—Its Responsibility,” in our issue of March 1, would apply to the WATCH TOWER, MILLENNIAL DAWN, and the BIBLE.

“If you have read and failed to comprehend a publication, do not suppose your mind incapable of grasping anything so deep and complex, and then proceed to circulate it among others; but conclude that if you have not the mental capacity to understand it, your safest plan will be not to run the risk of choking any one else with it.”

We reply: that whoever has not had satisfactory evidence of the general truth of the BIBLE, the DAWNS and the TOWERS should not circulate them. Everyone should have a conscience and no one should be asked or expected to violate his conscience, in the interest of any theory, person or publication.

“A PRINCE OF PEACE LIKE MYSELF”

Emperor William of Germany recently described the Czar of Russia as “a prince of peace like myself.” The true Prince of Peace will very soon conquer a peace that will last a thousand years, without ten millions of soldiers to maintain it. He will use the present “powers that be” in overthrowing and conquering each other,—shortly.
