CONDITION IS VERY GOOD FOR A 100+ YEAR OLD NEWSPAPERHAS SOME EDGE TEARS AND MINOR STAINING BUT DISPLAYS VERY WELLTHE PAPER IS OLD AND SOME WHAT BRITTLE . DIMENSIONS 18" X 22" THE DECEMBER 15,1907 WATCHTOWER SAID THIS THE NEWSPAPER MISSION Some eight or nine newspapers are now publishing Brother Russ ell's weekly sermons --the aggregate of their circulation amounting to more than 300,000 --possibly 400,000. This in a year means approximately 18,000,000 copies of sermons, and since newspapers are presum ed to be read by three to five person s each, it swells th e total of possibility in this direction to an enormous figure . We are not forgetting that comparatively few have ears to hear the whole truth, the deep things of God, but are remembering also that there are many features o f Present Truth which at the present time appeal strongly to the common sense of even the natural man, and it is our belief , based upon experience, t hat a favorable influence for the Truth is thus being widely exercised . What is the power, the influence, that is pushing forward this department of the Harve st work? We trust that it is the Lord who is moving in this matter, as in all others, and rejoice that he is using the brethren in this as well as in the other matters . For instance, the latest request that has come to us for publication of the weekly sermon explained that various of the brethren had made request of the editor that he should publish these discourses, and that finally some of them addressed the "Circulation Manager," assuring him that they could guarantee at least 100 new subscriptions to his journal if the sermons should appear . Thus was the Lord pleased to use the brethren, who had in mind not only their own desires in respect to the reading of the sermons weekly, and the opportunity of sending copies to their friends, but additionally the thought that thousands would thus be brought in contact with the Truth who otherwise could not be so favorably reached . We commend thi s course to the dear friends in various quar ters.
