PARTIAL TRADES ARE ENCOURAGED THIS IS AN ORIGINAL WATCHTOWER Celluloid Heart-Shaped Bookmark In 1910, Charles Taze Russell gave one of these bo okmarks to each Bethelite at his Brooklyn Tabernacle as a Christmas gift. (The holiday was still celebrated back then) Later that year it was made available to Colporteurs (early Regular Pioneers), and an advertisement for it appeared in the Watch Tower magazine. (The ad describes it in detail, authenticating this bookmark as the real thing!) It is stunningly beautiful, with "Brooklyn Tabernacle" printed on the bottom. (The Brooklyn Tabernacle was the main Society building when they first moved to Brooklyn in 1909) WATCH TOWER- JANUARY 1, 1910 describes it as followed. Greetings to Pilgrims and Colporteurs............. We invite the Pilgrims, as well as the Colporteurs, too send to us the addresses of such persons as desire the sermons but cannot afford the cost. We desire to send a little Christmas token to each regular Pilgrim in the service and to each regular Colporteur. By "regular" we mean such as devotes entire time to the work, or at least one-half of his time. Please accept one of the new gold Cross and Crown pins and advise us at your convenience where we shall send it. Reckon on its leaving here January 11, which will give us time to get through with our Christmas rush. We will enclose one of the little booklets, "The Sweet Brier Rose," and trust that the sentiments of the poem are those ofyour heart. We send also one of the "Heart Bookmarks" and trust that the sentiments thereon expressed will find echo in your souls throughout the coming year. "Keep thy heartwith all diligence" for the Lord and in his service and love, which means in the love and service of all who are truly his. Thus doing, undoubtedly the year 1910 will be to us a very happy and profitable one. As you look at the grape clusters on the bookmark, let them remind you of the Master's words, "Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit"-- fruits of the spirit of love. Your brother and servant in Christ, C. T. RUSSELL . If there are any questions, please ask them before bidding.
