Urgently needed

I need scans, photocopies or orginals of "Prophetic Times and Watch Tower" all issues from 1879-1885. I especially need the full year 1882. Anyone?

1928 Song Book

You will recognize some of the tunes, though often the words have changed.

Bad manners

 

            I should not have to elaborate on previous posts about our rules. But apparently I do. 

           The copy function is turned off here to prevent a small group of Russian and Polish trolls from stealing copyrighted content. No, I do not hate Russians or the Polish. But I find those who steal intellectual content despicable.

             If you’ve come here to read, reread and copy Jerome’s Miracle Wheat article, just ask. Knowing who you are, either he or I will send the entire text to you via email. All you must do is ask.

             Frankly, you’re annoying. Your behavior is poor. Secretiveness is unbecoming a fellow Christian. You seriously need to grow up.

             Still, both Jerome and I contribute to essential projects related to you, and we will provide you with the text of any article published on this blog. Just ask: bruce . schulz @ aol. com

A. P. Adams

I need some help. I have located some of Arthur P. Adams' booklets. My research funds are too low to purchase photocopies. Is there some kind soul out there who would buy them for me? I hate to ask. It goes against my grain, to use an old woodworking expression. The booklets are: 

Christ's seamless garment. 16 pages.

True basis of redemption. 1894, 52 pages.

Endless torments not scriptural: an examination of the Bible doctrine of future retribution ... with an additional word on the intermediate state and spiritism ... Observer Steam Print House, 1882. 53 pages.

My preference, given the state of my health, is that any volunteer contact the library in person and arrange for the purchase and mailing. Contact me by email for details.

Submissions

 I am interested in well-written, expertly researched articles. I cannot pay you. 

Articles must be footnoted to original sources. They can be on any subject from the Russell era. I'm especially interested in articles about Russell's newspaper syndicate, the Russell era debates, clergy opposition and forgotten personalities. But I am open to almost anything. 

Remember that this is a history blog. A polemic won't see the light of day here. Some of our readers intellectually oppose Russell's belief system, and some see him as a saint. Keep those points of view out of your article. Neither is suitable for this blog.

Submit in Times New Roman, single space. Indent paragraphs with the "tab" key. Do not use the space bar. Footnote style should be

For books: First Last name of author, title in italics, publisher, place, date, page number.

For articles: First Last name, title of article, name of magazine in italics, date of publication, page number.

It is unlikely that a submission citing Wikipedia or any other web page will be accepted.

Expectations

 I expect those who visit here to behave as adults and to have at least some ethical standards. Trying to disguise who you are is unnecessary. I usually only broadly note where visitors live. And some I know by their IP address. Those who read this blog and who work and live in Wallkill or Paterson or Tuxedo Park NY are often people I know. They do not hide their identity behind a misleading IP. This is also true of those visiting from the Watch Tower Society branches in Japan, Germany and Brazil. 

But there is one troublesome individual who lives in Chelmsford who does not live by the same standards as do those I mentioned above. I question his reason for visiting this blog. 

To the person from Chelmsford, Essex, using Talktalk IP 79.69.250.222 I suggest that if you want to know the personal details of those who contribute to this blog, my email is in a recent post. "Spying" is unbecoming a Christian. 

I do not wish to ignite a controversy. I do not want to see condemnatory comments. This post is as it is. 

Can we identify these men?

 Sweden? colporteurs. Names?

Book

 JAMES H WHITMORE The Doctrine Of Immortality, Buchanan, Michigan, 1871 is listed on ebay. Whitmore was party to the 1872 debate mentioned by Paton in Day Dawn.

It is "buy it now" for about thirty-five dollars and postage. If you are interested in the Barbour era, you may want this book.
