    Guess who wrote this letter? (Taken from a WT from 1894)

    GENTLEMEN:--Enclosed herewith please
    find Exchange on New York for the sum of
    $6.00, for which please send me ZION'S
    WATCH TOWER one year and copies of
    MILLENNIAL DAWN.
    By way of explanation for ordering this
    amount of books, I desire to say that, about
    two months ago, two young ladies came into
    my office selling those books. I was very
    busy when they presented their card; and,
    seeing that they were ladies selling books,
    I bought the three volumes, thinking that
    by so doing I was helping them out. I have
    since concluded that these ladies brought
    to me "glad tidings of great joy." I took
    the books home, and thought little of them,
    until a few weeks ago, when I had some
    spare time, I began reading the first volume,
    and it was so very interesting that I could
    not stop. The result is, my dear wife and
    myself have read these books with the keenest
    interest, and we consider it a God-send
    and a great blessing that we have had the
    opportunity of coming in contact with them.
    They are indeed a "helping hand" to the
    study of the Bible. The great truths revealed
    in the study of this series have simply
    reversed our earthly aspirations; and realizing
    to some extent, at least, the great opportunity
    for doing something for Christ,
    we intend to take advantage of this opportunity
    in distributing these books, first,
    among our nearest relatives and friends,
    and then among the poor who desire to read
    them and are unable to purchase; and for
    that reason we desire these extra copies.
    As soon as these are exhausted, we will
    order more, and try to do what we can in
    this way, be it ever so little.

    Yours, etc.,

    drofrehtuR .F .J

    If only he told those 2 women to get lost.

    Are you serious about Rutherford having written that letter to the WT? I'd love to see a copy if it is true...
