exercise of his loving-kindness, manifests in the unfolding of his
prophecies to those who are devoted to him....the Watchtower
being the means the Lord is pleased to use to transmit his message
of truth to the people, it is a real comfort to the remnant and the other sheep of the Lord to have
this given to the regularly twice each month." (1937 Yearbook, p.82)
