1881 Watch Tower - A2Z.org

We have meetings every Sunday from 2:30 to 4 P.M., and aWednesday evening meeting at 7:30 o'clock. We shall make anywho can meet with us very welcome. It was quite a neglect, thata regular standing notice of these meetings has not been kept inthe paper from the first; It will, however, be found this monthand hereafter, in first column of first page.R204 : page 8IT seems to me the trials and the temptations of this life are allmaking us fit for the life to come--building up a character foreternity. You have been in a piano manufactory; did you ever gothere for the sake of music? Go into the tuning room and youwill say, "My dear sir, this is a dreadful place to be in; I cannotbear it; I thought you made music here." They say, "No we donot produce music here; we make the instruments and tune themhere, and in the process much discord is forthcoming." Such isthe church of God on earth. The Lord makes the instrumentsdown here, and tunes them, and a great deal of discord isperceptible, but it is all necessary to prepare us for theeverlasting harmonies up yonder.--Spurgeon.R204 : page 8--Subscribers write us saying that they are 'very poor and willsend money for the paper as soon as they can get it.' To answerall such at once let us say, that if you are very poor we do notwant you to send us any money. Let us know that you want itand you can have it free.====================
