1957 MEMORIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

The time draws near when Jehovah’s people, remnant and other sheep, will assemble as congregations for the observance of the most significant of all memorials, the one that annually commemorates the victorious death of the Lord Jesus Christ. The date this year is April 14. The meeting, which will start after 6 p.m., will be opened with song and prayer, after which the discourse will be given by a qualified speaker, one of the remnant if available and capable. Then the emblems will be served separately after Jehovah’s blessing has been prayed for upon first the bread and then the red wine. The meeting will be closed with prayer and song, after all present have been invited to have part in special field service arrangements. Each congregation should commence making Memorial arrangements.

DISCOVERING HIDDEN TREASURES

A veritable storehouse of treasure, its priceless contents far more valuable than any material riches—that is God’s Word, the Bible. In it are found treasures that are not to be kept under guard or in a safety vault away from the eyes of truth seekers. But how can you discover the treasures of the Bible? First, it is necessary to go to the storehouse itself. But that is not enough. There you must dig and search for it. Modern tools will make your search much easier, that is, reading and digging into the Bible that is in the living language of today. That is why the New World Translation is a real treasure in itself. Three volumes are now completed, the entire “New Testament,” called the “New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures,” Volume 1 of the “Hebrew Scriptures,” containing the books from Genesis to Ruth, and Volume 2, containing the books from First Samuel to Esther. Each volume is $1.50, and a de luxe edition in genuine morocco leather is available for $5 each. Order yours today.
