Record of Christian Work, May 1919, page 316. (For Comment)

"Russellism has a wide advertisement in the South. It takes away the Christ of Scripture, denies salvation by faith, and encourages men to live in sin. That it makes headway is a reflection on the intelligence of the South and  the adequacy of the teaching in our pulpits."

Comments on the significance of these quotations for Watch Tower history are wanted.

Christian Evidence Society Report, 1922 

Birmingham Diocese 

Our Diocesan Hon. Sec., Rev. F. Mellows, M.A., writes: 

As last year, our Diocesan Evangelistic Council has undertaken the responsibility of keeping an eye on any Atheistic propaganda, and has organised services in several of the Parks. 'Russellism' has gained some adherents, and the supporters of this heresy have spent a good deal of money in propaganda. I have given several lectures on the subject, and spoken about it at meetings. I have also written a pamphlet, ' Russellism-The Latest Blasphemy' (published by C. J. Thynne, Whitefriars' Street, E.C. 4). 

Just now we are having a course of lectures on open-air work, which are being very well attended." – Page 26 

Chelmsford Diocese 

A course of lectures has been given at the Parish Church, Pitsea, by the Rector, on "Christianity as Opposed to Modern isms"Christian Science, Spiritualism, Russellism, Theosophy, Christadelphianism, Mormonism, and Modernism (of the left Wing)showing their errors with regard to the Nature of God, Divinity of Jesus, Personality of the Spirit, Sin and Atonement. These have been greatly appreciated. 

The Chapter Meeting of West Ham Rural Deanery has now formed an Evidence Committee, to perpetuate the work of the Secretary, around that Deanery. He (the Secretary) deeply regrets having to give up speaking at Hyde Park and Highbury Corner, for the Central Society owing to the distance at which he is now living and the unsatisfactory state of the train service, but he is using every opportunity of bringing the work of the Society before the Orset and Grays Deanery.
