Additionally he has had great pleasure in receiving manycallers. Nothing could please him better than to write personal acknowledgmentsof all these kind expressions of Christian love, fellowship,sympathy; but to respond to each and all separately would mean ahindrance of the general work, which he is sure would be far from thewish of his many friends. He therefore takes this opportunity ofacknowledging the many kindnesses of the Brethren and of assuringeach of his loving appreciation of their many tokens and of his goodwishes and prayers on behalf of them all and on behalf of all who aretruly the Lord's in every place--known and unknown. The Editor hopesthat all will accept the articles of THE WATCH TOWER instead of hispersonal letters.====================R5016 : page 143WHY CHRIST AROSE FROM THE DEAD"If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain and yourfaith also vain; yea, and we are found false witnesses of God.
