I t is the positive conviction of the "ser- vant" tha t the Watch Tower Bible & -.act Society is being use3 an11 will be used by the Lord to proclaim Cod's name and Word and his .iudrntznts in the earth and tn help God's pcuple, both those tuho a re free and those who a r e in the Devil's cages, to grasp the blessings and to see

the duties and privileges of the hour. Judge Rutherford, presiient of the

Watch Tower Saeietv. is one of the hard- ~ ~

est-worked men in the world. Anybody can be a Christian in peace-time, but Judge Rutherford mas one of the war- time Christians; and, for daring so to he, went to Atlanta Penitentiary under four sentences of twenty years each.

When h e emerged he was in p w r physi- cal condition, and even now has the use of but one lung. Since his return from Atlanta, prudence and good common sense dictated that , working a s hard a s he con- stantly works, he should have the hene- I r t 01 the most equable winter climate to he found. It is a matter of com- mon knowledge among meteorologists

F o r years a f te r he emerged from prison, Judge Rutherford went to San iliegn to work during the winter months, renting surh quarters a s could be se- eurecl. His physician, Dr. A. G. Eckols, of San Dtego, urged hini to make the c ~ t y his permanent winter home; and in the 1:ltter par t of the year 1929 some brethren, out of their own personal funds, arranged for the ereetinn of Beth-Sarim, "the house of th? princes," of which sev- eral illustrations appear in this issue.

Before .Ju( l~o Rutherford would ac- cept an:l use the home, he insisted upon writing the deed tha t it sha:l forever be held in t rus t by the Watch Tower Bible & Trac t Society for the use of the Lord's

The Innocent Cause of Many Phone Calls to the "Mes-

Princess Bonnie

So many people have callcd up Thc 8frrnrn.qcr officc a n 1 wantcd to know the identity of the liltle gir l who hnd the privilege of interviewing Brother Ruth- erford. and h r ~ she came to hnvc -31-h a privilcee, tha t we give just a little =xplanation:

How caulrl we know, when we n u b lisbed a picture of .Tulge Rutherford tn'king t~ a lit t lr r i r l . that i t w ~ s KO- inp to s ta r t a s n ~ ~ l l - s i r e d revolution in the Nursr-y? And how could we know 'hat a whole battolion of mothers would lie in wait fo r the {udge and t r y to ambush him into talkine to their k'd- dies. ton? I t is snmethinr he likes to do. but he doesn't get much time fo r it.

Thcre is a particular reason why Brother Rutherfor l was t.glkinc to t h a t "articular little g i r l Flrrr a r e the facts :
