THE RUSSELLIZED BIBLE.

Today the Devil is busy getting up diff
ferent kinds of Bibles He has now a
Christian Science Bible, which may be read
only in connection with that wonderful { p
textbook of theirs, "Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures"
The Devil also has in operation a Nor
mon Bible and SbirituaIistic Bible
He is now busily engaged in creating
''The Shorter Bible" in which all passages
in which the Name Of Christ is found, and
all references to the Blood, will not be al
lowed to appear.
He has moved the female men, the suf-
fragettes, to demand 7VonlanS Bible 1t
is to be free from all that Jesus, Paul, and
others said about women being in subJec-
ton to their fathers and husbands in the
7 ord. All references to women not being
allowed to become authoritative and official
teachers - promugators of doctrine = are
to be left out of this woman's Bible.
THE RUSSELLIZED BIBLE also came
from the Devil That Bible is, in form or
size, about as our Bibles in Zion 1t is ar
ranged in two general divisions. The first
half contains the Authorized Version, as in
any other Bible. Then come certain "Bible
Helps" Among these is can Extract from
Dawn Studies. Volume II" called, 1.-The
True Chronology of the Bible" In it an
effort is made to prove that the six thou
sandth year from Adam was reached IN
1872 A. D.; that the Lord was born in the
year of the world 4l2S, and that He actually
came the second time in 1874 A. d.
This Extract" is followed by certain
other helps; and then we meet what is
called 1.-THE Beyean Bible Teachers Man
nal" 1t is made up of "Zion's Watch
Tower and Dawn Studies Comments.
These Comments" occupy some five hun
dred and fifty pages of printed matter, the
finest India paper being used
Thus THE RUSSELLIZED BIBLE is
composed of the Authorized Version Of
the Word of God and the RnSSelIised Com
mentS
The Devil is subtle His plan is to get
the reader to accept the RmSSelliged Com
ments rather than the Word of God, con-
sequently, thousands have come under this
delusion.
Reader, are you Bible student?
Do you love and venerate the Inspired
Word of God?
What do you think of the RmSSelhsed
Bible? Is it not great mystery how any
one with a thimbleful of gray matter can
accept such teaching as Satan, through his
ready and enthusiastic servant, Charles Tdse
Russell, has palmed off on gullible public
through the Russell literature?
AN ILLUSTRATION OF BIBLICAL
EXEGESIS. as found in THE FINISH
ED MYSTERY" the last published RUS
SELLIZED "STUDY IN THE SCRIP
TURES." 1t is found on Page 338. 1t is
THE RUSSELLIZED COMMENT on
Revelation 22:18, and reads as follows:
God shall add unto him the plaques
that are 7Uritten in this book = his pen
atty will be, when he comes forth from
the tomb in the Times of Restitution,
that he will have to read the Seven
voImmeS of Scripture Studies, and get the
matter Strengthened out in his mind.
When it thus comes to a showdown, the
poor resurrected sinner may prefer to lose
F'his being, become extinct, utterly dead,
amnihiIated, the second time"! | sympath-
ize with him in advance! I have had to
buke and clean myself many times while
reviewing the RmSselHsed Bible, Studies IN
the Scriptures, The Finished Mystery, and
other zUorkS, preparatory to writing this
manuscript!
