Pastor Russell made some predatory
remarks, explaining that although he
had accepted the pastorate Of the
London Tabernacle congregation. this
should not be understood to imply
that he had any thought Of leaving
America permanently. He greatly ap-
preciates the reverential spirit Of the
British. but this does not signify
greater love for the land Of his IA
thers than for the land Of his birth.
He accepted the London pastorate
with the clear understanding that he
must moi be- expected to serve there
more than four months in the year.
More and more he feels that his minis
try is a general one. He specially
thanks God for the privilege Of ad-
dressing tel million readers through
the press Of America and Great Britain.
