| In sending forth this message, an effort is being made to arouse
deeper interest in the study of the Scriptures. It is gratifying to note that many of the
members of the International Bible Students Association are becoming less and less
sectarian and more appreciative of the unity of the Spirit. No effort is being made on the part of those interested in this dispensational study of the Word of God to build up any organization or to establish any basis for Christian unity, other than that outlined in the Scriptures themselves. We are not exhorted to make the unity, but to keep it -- not to break it. The years of fellowship with the Lord's dear people witnessing with the publication of Pastor Russell have been very precious indeed, and this special message to them goes forth with a prayer that He will bless it to the opening of their eyes and hearts yet further to a realization of the truth as it is in Christ Jesus. Accept with this message our Christian love and fervent hope that at least a portion of the joy and peace will attend it in its reading that has come to the compiler in getting the material ready for a witness to the great love of our God and our Saviour. |
