less mourners. But what follows that end, to wit,

the lorig-promised Tlleocratic Governmelit u-it11

its unspealiahle blessings t,o obedient men, is of

still greater consolation. When Judge 1i.nther-

ford delivered the speech on this corr~forting

tlieine to the many t,l~ousandsgathered in a na-

tional assembly on Saturday, August 9, 1941, in

and about The Arena, St. Louis, &!Lo., the vast

audience acclaimed the message with joyous ap-

COMFORT ALL

THAT MOURN

W HEN the people of all nations mourn ; when

all are in distress and greatly perplexed,

there is need of diligence to ascertain the cause

of distress and learn and give heed to the pre-

scribed remedy for such.

Never within the memory of man has there

been on earth such general sorrow and mourn-

ing as now. Never a time when the people need

comfort as they do now. Who can give the de-

sired co~nfort ?

The Creator of heaven and earth, the Al-

niighty God, "whose name alone is .Jehovah,"

is the God of all comfort. In the Bible, which is

Exis Word, he has set forth the truth telling

plainly why the people mourn and what is the

complete remedy therefor. All persons who

would have such information, and who woulcl

receive comfort, must resort to and give heed

to the Word of God. All persolls who are now

of good-mill toward Almighty God will do that

very thing.

Christians are those persons who follow the

lead of the Lord Jesus Christ. They are the

servants of the Almighty God. As his servants

they are dully and fully ordained and commis-

sioned by the Almighty God to deliver His mes-

sage of truth to all persons on earth who are

of good-will toward Jehovah. The conlmission

ed by the Lord, to all nations for a witness, and

that preaching must be done by those who are

devoted to Jehovah, and who therefore areJeho-

vah's witnesses.-Matthew 24 : 14 ; Isaiah 43 : 12.

Every follower of Christ Jesus who is in a

covenant to do the will of God is and indeed must

be a preacher of"this gospel in obedience to the

Lord's commandment. All such have, in obedi-

ence to God's commandment, separated them-

selves from Ihe things of this world, and they

must, as comrunnded, keep themselves "unspot-

ted frorn the world". (James 1: 27) They must

devote all of their energies to preaching "this

gospel of the kingdorn" to llie people that those

who mourn may receive comfort. That is the

present-day work of paramount importance to

all who would live.

Those in distress, and who mourn and who

desire comfort, must fully realize that Almighty

Cod is the fountain of life and source of all com-

fort and joy. (Psalm 36: 9) The Bible contains

all of that needed information, which will conn-

fort all who desire righteollsness and peace.

The faithful servants of God, receiving comfort

from the Lord as set forth in the Bible, must

bear that same message of comfort to them that

are in trouble and who desire to hear the truth.

Sucli is the present-day commission and work

oE Jehovah's witnesses.

The people are torn by war, famine, pesti-

lence, and beset by all manner of wickedness.

No longer are the people free to assemble, speak

which Almighty God has given to each one of

his faithful servants and followers of Christ

Jesus is set down at Isaiah 61 : 1,2, in these

words : "The spirit of the Eord God is upon me ;

because the Lord hath anointed me to preach

good tidings unto the ~eek;

he hath sent me to

bind up the broli.enhearted, to proclaim liberty

to the captives, and the opening of the prison

to them that are bound; to proclaim the accept-

able year olthe Lord, and the day of vengeance

sf our God; to c0;vepon.r ALL THAT MOURN."

This is the "day of vengeance of our

and therefore the time when He will vindicate

His holy name.

Before He exercises his power for the vindi-

cation of his name his servants must proclaim

His great name throughout the earth. For sev-

eral years past the witnesses for Jehovah have

declared to the people throughout the earth the

purpose of God to vindicate his name, and of his

vengeance against all wickedness. The time

draws near, therefore, for him to exercise his

supreme power.

This is the day in which the people mourn,

and this is the time when Jehovah's servants

must carry the message of God's comfort to all

that mourn. This is the time when the good

news, or gospel, must be preached, as command-

Am. PCev. Ver.) The rule of wiclcedness is over

the entire earth; as it is written: 'The whole

world lies in the m~iclcedone.' (1 John 5: 19)

Since the year 1914 the sorrows and mourning

of the nations have continuously increased, and

the reason therefor is stated atRevelation 12 : 12

in these words: "Woe to the inhabiters of the

earth [meaning the rulers of the earth], and of

the sea [meaning the peoples that bear up and

support those nations] ! for the devil is come

down unto you, having great wrath, because he

lrnoweth that he liath lout a short time." The

Devil knows his time is short because the due

time is here when he must be ousted and when

righteousness shall rule the world, and which

good news, when proclaimed, brings comfort

and joy to a!l who have faith in God tend in his

Word. The present is the transition period from

the wiclced to the righteous.

is of the greatest ins-

portance to all creation. Under His rule the

righteous will of %EROVAH shall be done in the

earth, and for this reason Jesus commanded all

Christians to pray to God these words: 'Thy

kingdom come ; thy will be done in earill as it is

done in heaven.' (Matthew 6 : 10) Concerning

Christ Jesus, the righteous Ring, it is written,

at Isaiah 9: 6: "The g.svernment shall be upon

his shoulder; and his name shall be called

Wonderful Counsellor, The mighty God, The

everlasting Father, Tlae Prince of Peace. Of the

increase of his government and peace there shall

be no end." When that righteous King rules the

world in completeness the people shall rejoice.

The hour for his unobstructed rule is at hand,

and every person who gets life everlasting must

take his place wholly on the side of the King of

and, doing so, will participate

in the blessings to be administered. This good

news, or gospel, must now be preached to the

people that they may have hope and have an

opportunity to choose Christ the King of right-

eousness and live, and, failing to do so, remain

as supporters of the wicked rule and perish.

Each parson, therefore, must choose his own
