Baptist Missionary Review, India

 I do not have time to pursue this. If you want to further my research see what additional information you can find. Better yet, if you can turn your research into the Watch Tower's early presence in India into a footnoted article, I'll consider it. 

Articles should be Times New Roman, one inch margins, NO WHITE BACK GROUND. Single spaced, fully justified. Footnote format for books is:

Author, Title in Italics, Publisher, place of publication, date, page number.

For articles it is:

Author if known, Article Title, Publication Full Name in Italics, date, page.

I'm very ill and do not have time or inclination to reformat submitted articles. 

November 1912


April 1912
September 1912

Photo Drama Invitation in Britain.

 Brother S. in Australia found this article in Acton, (London) Gazette of October 30, 1914. Notice the reference to a Photo Drama invitation. Certainly upset this Baptist clergyman, but I need, NEED to see it. Do you have one? Will you please scan or photograph it for me? A scan is preferable. Anyone?

Way past the era we consider here, but interesting

 Neutrality as published by Watchtower London. 

It's on ebay, and I'd love to have it but can't afford it. Enjoy the photos.

Paton as a Poet

 


     Inside the cover of a copy of Moses and Christ by John H Paton was found the above dedication. The photograph is, alas, poor quality, but transcribed it reads:


     To Mary Miller

     From John H Paton

     A Birthday Token

     March 18th, 1901


     Mary, if you’ll love the Saviour,

     And obey him every day –

     Run the heavenly race with patience,

     You’ll be happy all the way.

 

     All together now…

 

     Although we have the birthday date, without a year of birth and a location it is difficult to trace the right Mary Miller. There have been an awful lot of them.
