SPECIAL ITEMS FOR REGULAR READERS

DAILY FOOD CALENDAR FOR 1893

We imported a lot of calendars for this year, but not nearly sufficient to meet the orders received from our readers. An increasing number seem to appreciate the convenience of having these calendars (tearing off one date each day)—exhibiting a new text with each new date.

We have succeeded in procuring a large lot of such calendars, still handsomer than our own importation, from a New York importer: and as the season is now somewhat advanced we got them at a great bargain, and can supply them to you at about one-third the usual price, including postage, viz., FIFTEEN CENTS EACH.

Those who can spare this sum from other necessities cannot make much better use of it than to have one of these calendars in their dining room and have the Scripture verse committed to memory at the breakfast table. It may sometimes help direct the thoughts of an entire family into good channels for the day. Besides thus furnishing the mind with spiritual Daily Bread, it lays up a store of precious promises for future use. “Thy Word was found, and I did eat it.”

THE ADDRESS-TAG RECEIPTS

We are still greatly behind in our office work, thanks to your loving promptness in renewing your subscriptions. (These, and especially the accompanying kind words of your letters, greatly encourage us in the service, corroborating the assurance of the Word that “our labor is not in vain in the Lord,” and add to our strength and courage amidst discouragements and difficulties raised up by the world, the flesh and the devil.) We trust you will excuse our inability to get the date on your address-tag so changed as to furnish you a receipt for subscription moneys sent in recently. We will attend to this as soon as possible.

YOUNG’S ANALYTICAL CONCORDANCE

Orders for this work are delayed, waiting for a new, revised edition, now in preparation.

THE MEMORIAL SUPPER

The anniversary of our Lord’s Last Supper, on the eve of his crucifixion, falls this year upon Thursday, March 30th,—after six P.M. At that hour begins the fourteenth day of the first month, (old) Jewish reckoning.

As usual, the Church meeting at Allegheny will celebrate it by commemorating our Lord’s death. As usual, also, a protracted meeting for Bible Study will precede the memorial; and, as usual, friends from far and near will be invited to join in both, as may suit their convenience. These meetings will convene on Tuesday, March 28th, at 2 P.M., in Bible House Chapel, Allegheny (just across the river from Pittsburg), and be followed, on the 31st, by a Colporteurs’ Meeting. Fuller particulars will be given in the February 15th WATCH TOWER.

OUR CRITICAL READERS

Few journals, if any other, have such critical readers as has ZION’S WATCH TOWER. And we are glad of this. Prove critically all that is offered you, by us and by others, by the Word of the Lord; and let us know whenever you find a discrepancy. We will be pleased to correct an error.

We refer more to a number of letters received calling attention to our comments on verses 15 and 16 of the Bible Study for Dec. 25th, in our issue of Dec. 1st, ’92. These letters were nicely expressed; and inquired whether the “Shepherds,” and the “Wise men” who visited the infant Jesus, were identical; and if so our proofs. We answer, No: it was merely “a slip of the pen” on our part which thus blended into one the two classes.

—————

THE SYRIAC NEW TESTAMENT

Orders for this translation are for the present delayed awaiting a new edition which the publisher advises us is now on the press. Orders will be filled in rotation as received as soon as possible. Our price is $2.00, including postage.
