"THE TIME IS AT HAND."(DAWN VOL. II.)Did you receive a copy? We sent one to each WATCHTOWER subscriber who had renewed for 1889, so far as weknow, as a special number for the months of April and Maycombined.We mailed it to all of the "Lord's Poor List" who have requestedthe TOWER for the present year (See Terms above), as well asto all who have paid for this year; and also, to all who requestedthat the paper be continued to them and who hoped to be able topay for it during the year.If any who renewed their subscription, in any of these ways,failed to get the book, they should at once drop us a postal-card,that any mistakes may be rectified.In our March issue we promised this book ("The Time is atHand"), without extra charge, as part of this year's WATCHTOWER, to those only whose subscriptions should be receivedbefore April 1. But as we find this left too short a time for some,especially our Foreign and Pacific coast readers, we haveconcluded to leave the offer open until August 1. next.Therefore all whose subscriptions for the TOWER for 1889 arereceived up to that date, will be supplied with this book withoutextra charge.Friends of the truth can therefore bestir themselves among thoseto whom they have sold or loaned DAWN VOL. I. and takesubscriptions for the TOWER for 1889 with VOL. II. includedfor 50 cents; or, "The Time at Hand" alone, for 25 cents.====================R1110 : page 1VIEW FROM THE TOWER.Many of the saints abroad, who could not meet with us here atthe celebration of the Lord's Supper and subsequent meetings,have written requesting a full report of the proceedings. Such areport we would like to give, but to do so fully is impossible. Ifpen could portray the glow and warmth of Christian love thatilluminated every countenance, the heartiness of the handshaking,the tones of good cheer in the words of greeting, andthe fervent farewells and God bless you and speed your work, atparting, then we might give a fuller report. But all this can bebetter imagined than described. It was a season which afforded ablessed foretaste of the joys of the gathering of the churchtriumphant, when all the faithful sowers and all the faithfulreapers shall rejoice together,--when the first-fruits of theharvest have all been gathered in.
