Greeting: Beloved In The Lord.

Those of you who already know and love the Dawn series and the Watch Tower will find in this little booklet nothing new; nothing which you will not at once recognize as gleanings from either Dawn or Tower.

While any who have not already studied the Bible with those helps will find all gleanings from them so backed and fortified by Bible verses, that they can but recognize the fact that we stand upon the “Firm Foundation” laid for our faith in “His Excellent Word.”

In the arrangement of these subjects and quotations I have had in view two ends. First, to bring together, within a compass small enough to carry always with us, the strongest Scriptures upon such points as we are most likely to be questioned about. So that even those of us who lack time or ability to fix so much in our minds for ready repetition, may be able to answer convincingly, and to clinch our answer with a “Thus saith the Lord,” whenever and wherever we may be questioned.

Second, I have aimed to arrange the Scriptures used so as to bring out certain truths strongly, hoping that some might thereby be led to enquire more earnestly “Whether these things be so.”

Each subject is followed by a note stating in just what volume of Dawn or number of Tower, and at what pages, a full exposition of the subject may be found.

Blank pages are also provided, so that each may make such additions as they desire. And if the little book, as I send it out, shall be helpful to even a few of the Lord’s people, I shall feel that the time spent in compilation has been well spent.

Your servant in Christ,

The Compiler.
