MEMENTOES OF OUR JOURNEY TO PALESTINE

While in Jerusalem it occurred to us that many of our friends might like very much to have some little thing as a memento, both of our journey and of the “Holy City.” We had no difficulty in selecting some inexpensive ones suited to our purpose. Some small olive-wood articles—paper weights, pen-holders, egg-cups and napkin-rings.

Next came the difficulty—How many shall we purchase? How many friends have we to whom we would like to present a little token? We knew no place to draw a line, for surely all the TOWER readers are beloved as friends indeed. We could not, however, afford to purchase and pay transportation and customs and postage duty for so many—nor did we like to offer to sell them to our friends. We concluded, finally, to purchase about 1700 pieces and present them to the WATCH TOWER TRACT SOCIETY and let the society pay freight and customs tariff and packing and postage, and supply them at low prices to such as may desire them. Thus all will be accommodated, some will be pleased and the cause will be profited. These articles we ordered from the Baron Rothschild Industrial School in Jerusalem. They are olive-wood and stamped Jerusalem.

We also saw some neat but inexpensive “Flower Cards,” which we surmised would be appreciated by many of you. We ordered 4000 of these; they, too, have arrived. These will be sent gratis, postpaid, as love tokens and mementoes from Sister Russell and myself. They are not printed flowers, but colored wild flowers, grasses, etc., from the surrounding country, pasted on cards in tasteful designs. These will be sent as follows: (1) One card to each person purchasing one or more of the olive-wood articles and (2) one card each to those of the Lord’s poor who have written since Dec. 1, 91, requesting the Watch Tower for 1892, gratis. Thus all can have a little memento.

Write order with full address separate from other orders and letter. When the article ordered is sold out, we will send one of the others until all are gone. If you have a second choice, name it in your order.

THE MEMORIAL MEETINGS AT ALLEGHENY

The present prospects are that there will be quite a large attendance this year. The last TOWER gave very explicit directions for all intending to come, and it should be carefully re-examined to insure no mistakes. On arrival, come to the TOWER office, 58 Arch st.

We have only to add further that friends coming from points West of Chicago and St. Louis can obtain excursion Certificates with their tickets from PEORIA, ILLINOIS, via the C.R.I.& P., or the C.B.& Q., or the J.S.E.—A.T.& S.F. Rail Roads.

We are by no means sure that these Memorial Excursions will be granted another year, as the railroads are yearly more exacting.

When sure that you can come, drop us a postal card about 24 hours before you start, advising us again of names and sexes, that our preparations may be as complete as possible.
