    Thank you Nevada for scanning that page and making it available.

    And so he took the dollar and bought
    PROPHECY LIGHT(2 books) LIFE
    Of course you don't believe in clairvoyance, horos-
    copes, palmistry, laying the cards, or spiritism. Of
    course you no longer believe in the preachers
    and priests of Christendom as having any light on the
    future. But the Bible made plain, that's different.
    Are you living in this strange day and yet don't
    know what it's all about? Are you worried about the
    world's future? Then read Judge Rutherford's book
    PROPHECY. Have you an idea you've been kept
    in the dark long enough? Here's what you want,
    LIGHT (two books). It will be a revelation to you
    and it deals with every verse and chapter of the last
    great Bible prophecy, Revelation. And when you've read
    the above, you'll not want to miss LIFE. It
    explains what the great Life-giver has done and is
    now about to do to abolish death, and to give you life,
    not up in heaven, but on earth made perfect.

    All four books are written by the world's foremost
    Bible scholar, Judge Rutherford.
    They will be mailed
    to you postpaid upon receipt of $1.00.

    Address
    The Watch Tower, 117 Adams St., Brooklyn, N.Y.

    It should be pointed out that all these books Judge Rutherford wrote were dumped after Nathan Knorr assumed control in 1942. --VM44

    cabasilas,

    That is a good observation that the Life book, published in 1929, is not pictured among the other books in Rutherford's Rainbow series.

    This is a case of a book of Rutherford's being dumped while he was still alive!

    If memory serves, I believe there's a similar picture of Rutherford's books in Riches (1936). The book Life is pictured in that book. My guess is that there were still stocks of the book in Brooklyn in 1936 and so it was still advertised and sold even though the WT's support of Zionism had disappeared in the early 30s. Evidently they'd sold them all by 1941 when Children was published.
