I need some information.

 This is the front page of a four page tract published in 1912. I do not believe it is a Watch Tower product, but think it was published independently. Do you have any information?

I am sure it will have been published independently because it does not contain any address or advertising material for the Society. "The Vow" and "The Morning Resolve" were reproduced by many Bible Students and are quite common on motto cards or post cards, again without any Society imprimatur.

Can we be sure the tract was even of Bible Student origin? The cross and crown symbol was by no means exclusive.

Bruce kindly sent me a scan of the tract and it contains "The Vow" and "The Morning Resolve" both of which identify it as of Bible Student origin.

Thanks for this clarification Jerome.

When I first seen this my only question was if was done before or after Russell died. I lean toward the latter. After Russell's death many of these memorial souvenirs of with some of the more common tenets like the vow etc were printed by various Bible Students groups. The WT had printed barely nothing outside of the 1916 WT, The Messenger of Laodicea and the Memorial set of Scripture Studies with Russell's picture and biography. A postcard of Van Ambugh visiting the grave site. That is all that comes to mind.
