    Project Gutenberg makes available online and for free some major books whose copyrights have expired.

    For some reason Rutherford's "Harp of God" (1921) was considered worthwhile enough to be added to the collection.

    Oh well, here is the link:

    The HTML version including the book illustrations is at:

    I wonder if there'll be a letter from the GB to the congregations about that.

    Hmmm....probably not.

    Note the title,

    The Harp of God
    Proof Conclusive that
    Millions now Living will never Die

    and this was published in 1921!

    Someone should have complained to Rutherford....too late, he is dead now!

    I don't think Rutherford knew what "Proof Conclusive" really meant.

    Sounds like about along the same speed as all the other "conclusive" things the WTS has managed to delude teach its members with through the decades...

    Although, with the Judge's reputation maybe he meant "100 proof" instead of "conclusive proof"

    VM44,

    It's an interesting exercise to compare the third edition of the "Harp" with the first one from 1921. It makes you wonder if they are the same book!
