DAILY PRACTICING TRUE LOVE

There are those who sing of love a great deal but who do not practice it, because they do not know what true love is. They think of it as self-gratification instead of self sacrifice. (1 John 3:18) True love goes out to others with a desire to aid and do good to them. Jesus stressed to his followers the requirement that one deny himself. True love and service of God prompt one to aid others to a real appreciation of God and his purpose. To that end Jehovah’s witnesses during July will present to people a Bible study aid book and booklet on a contribution of 50c. Would you like to share? Contact the local Kingdom Hall or write this office.

BETTER THAN A BEST SELLER

The 320-page book “Let God Be True” now approaches a world-wide circulation of 13,000,000 copies. It is a fundamental Bible study aid that has helped unnumbered truth seekers to gain a better understanding and deeper appreciation of outstanding Bible teachings. Wasting no time on nonessentials, this helpful volume goes direct to the root of matters and shows what the essential things of the Bible really are. This book, together with the booklet, God’s Way Is Love, is available on a contribution of 50c.
