r4638 BROTHER RUSSELL'S FOREIGN TOUR REPORT====================
[page 221]
DELIVERED FROM SATAN'S SNARE
DEARLY Beloved Brother and Pastor:--I am writing to tell you how good our dear Lord has been to me in delivering me from the Power of Darkness, and restoring me to his favor again; and also to ask you to forgive me for the trial that my recent course must have caused you. But in order that you may fully realize the mercy and loving kindness of God toward me, I will briefly tell you of my experiences of the past few months:
Late last summer I began to doubt the Scripturalness of your position on the Covenants and the Sin-Offering. From a small beginning, this soon grew until it included many other points of doctrine, and, in my conviction that you were wrong, I opposed your teaching, though not publicly. I still continued to meet with the Class, but felt that sooner or later a separation must come; yet I loved the friends so much my heart ached as I saw we were surely drifting apart. About the time of the Saratoga Springs Convention, I had become convinced that God's people were being misled by you, and that you were profiting by their blindness; that you had become unfaithful to your stewardship. Not only would I not go to the Convention myself, but was unwilling that my dear wife and daughter should go--both of whom are in the Truth and have never swerved in their loyalty to it--so I not only missed a blessing myself, but deprived them of one. But the prayers of the dear friends in my behalf prevailed, and my eyes were opened to see that I was wrong. I turned about, and peace and joy once more filled my heart.
Then I began to search for the cause of my blindness, my unbelief, and I was sure that I found it. It was the Vow! What! did I oppose the Vow? No! Had I not taken the Vow? Yes; but with limitations. You know that at the time the Vow was suggested I was doing local Pilgrim work under the appointment of The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, and I thought the Vow was only for the Pilgrims, so I took it "for so long as I was in the Pilgrim work." It followed, then, that when the local Pilgrim service was discontinued a year ago that my Vow expired by limitation, and the protection that it had afforded me against the suggestions of Evil Spirits was at an end. So for several months the barrier had been thrown down, as it were, and I believe Satan and his co-adjutors had seized the opportunity (Eph. 6:12), with the result that my faith had been nearly shipwrecked. Dear Brother, as soon as I saw this I renewed the Vow for all time. This happened immediately after the Saratoga Springs Convention. Some of the dear brethren to whom I had confided all, advised me to make a public statement of the facts in our testimony meeting, that others might be helped, and also write the same to you; but I said, No, only a few of the friends know anything of my doubts, and I will not tell them. I overlooked the fact that God knew, and that my testimony should be to his glory. Had I taken their advice, I believe, the remainder of this letter would never need be written. But this I failed to do; my stand for the Lord was not sufficiently firm. Is it any wonder, then, that Satan quickly took advantage of the loophole thus left open, and soon my doubts returned? Truly "every man's work is being tried so as by fire."
When the article on "The Wedding Garment" came out in THE WATCH TOWER of December 1, 1909, implying that full justification was granted only those who agree to consecrate--to sacrifice the restitution blessings reckoned to them, I took exception to this teaching. You recall, dear Brother, our talk over these points on the occasion of our ride from Washington to Richmond, and how I disagreed with you and charged you with wresting the Scriptures. At first I said, "This new view of justification is the only thing I take exception to," but soon discovered that you had erred (?) on the Covenants; next, the Sin-Offering doctrine was an insidious denial of the Ransom; next, it was Baptism--that was wrong, too; and of course you had worked your blasphemous (that is what I called it) doctrine into the Memorial service of our Lord's death. Soon those who opposed you were all right, and you were wrong. I got to believe that you had never been "That Servant, whom the Lord made master of all his goods"--that Servant was a class; that most of those things you once had right, but you had changed. You see the condition my mind was in, and yet, I believe I was honest, and was loyal to the Lord in opposing what I thought was error. My heart was not at ease; the conflict was terrible, and I suffered greatly. And while I verily thought I was right in my course, I have prayed earnestly every day for guidance into the Truth, and into peace. I kept the Vow as best I could under such conditions. While I thought my faith was on a surer foundation than ever, I now know it was nearly gone.
Within the last few months meetings have been established in Washington by those who oppose your teachings; and to this meeting I went, while still attending the regular services of those in the Truth. However, I soon found it impossible to partake of two tables, and I chose the table of error, as I now see it to be; then, however, I felt sure it was a purified table of the Lord. Such was the state of my mind when the One-Day [page 222] Convention was held here on March 13th, 1910. This was the turning point with me--the day when the Lord graciously showed me my true condition--that I was growing spiritually blind. On the Wednesday previous I had declared that I would never attend another "Russellite" meeting, and when I arose on the morning of the Convention I was still resolved not to go to the services. Then, as I saw my wife and daughter preparing to go I thought I would better pray over the matter; and I earnestly besought our dear Father for guidance-- whether to go or to remain away. I arose from my knees, now undecided. I then began to arrange some papers in my desk, when my eyes fell on a note I had made on a statement in THE WATCH TOWER of March, 1898. It read, "The armor complete in 1898 with the New Covenant as one of the pieces." (This is not a quotation, but a comment I had made.) I started to copy it in a "List of evidences that Brother Russell has changed." I see now that the knowledge that God "will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah" is a part of the armor. When I looked up the paragraph I happened to glance over the article in the same TOWER on the Memorial Service (p. 101). Now at our "Opposition meeting" our last Bible study had been on the Last Supper, and we thought we had learned something that Brother Russell had never seen, viz., That the Jewish day on which our Lord instituted the memorial of his death was the day of preparation for the passover, "when the lamb should be slain."
Judge my surprise when in a short paragraph I found that you had fully set forth the same thought some twelve years ago, together with a more important thought that had escaped our attention, namely, that we do not celebrate the passover feast, but the death of the antitypical Passover Lamb. I then turned to page 71 and read the list of questions and found in questions 5-8 a thought recently more clearly stated, that our Lord in dying "bequeathed the Restitution blessings purchased by his death to the fallen, dying race--as many as shall accept the blessings under the conditions of the New Covenant." But the fact that we symbolize our acceptance and sacrifice of these shows they will not be given directly to the world, but through the Church. Now this was the very point that I had declared "new" last year, when it was more plainly set forth in THE TOWER, and over which I had been finding so much fault, and getting more and more confused, until I had finally rejected nearly all that you had ever presented. But the most surprising fact that dawned on me was that for ten years I had been using this same article as a basis for the Memorial service, and had explained these same points each time. The alarming truth dawned on me--I was growing spiritually blind! I was not only forgetting the precious truths, but I saw that I was losing sight of the true import of our Lord's death. This decided me: I went to the Convention. I was further convinced that what I saw and heard was of the Lord.
On the advice of two loving Sisters, I asked several Brethren to call on me and pray with me and give me counsel. I told them that I realized that I was spiritually sick from improper food, and was growing blind, so that my ability to appreciate the deep things of God's Word was slipping away. I told them how our Lord had called my attention to this, and now, that I saw what the trouble was, and while I could not even then see as they did on some of the points of doctrine, it was no longer a matter of doctrine, but a desire of getting back fully into God's favor; and I had confidence that I would soon get all right on the doctrine. After a season of prayer and counsel from the brethren, the Lord enabled me to make a firm decision as to my future course. Immediately I gathered up all of the literature of the Henninges, McPhail, Randall, et al., stamp and burned it. You can imagine how pleased the brethren were to see me do this, for they had been very cautious in advising me, rather leaving the Lord to guide me. On the following day I sent a letter to the ones with whom I had been meeting, explaining why I could not attend those services again. I enclose a copy of this letter. On the same night I made a statement to the Church confessing my error in my past opposition to the Truth, and my resolution and by the Lord's help to return to the clean table, where the food neither sickens nor blinds, and asked them to forgive me.
I am glad to add, dear Brother, that the points of doctrine which had been a cause of stumbling to me have since become clear; the Lord has graciously healed my spiritual sight, and my heart is rejoicing in the sunlight of his favor. I want to add in behalf of my brethren who are still in confusion, that I believe they are honest in their convictions, and that there is no bitterness in their hearts, and I hope they will yet be recovered from the snare of the Adversary. I think when they show a disposition to return by attending the regular meetings in a proper spirit, they should be met with kindness and encouragement. With much Christian love,
Your brother in Christ,
CLARENCE E. FOWLER,
Washington, D.C.
COPY OF BRO. FOWLER'S LETTER TO THE SECEDERS
DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS--LOVE AND GREETINGS IN CHRIST OUR REDEEMER:--Perhaps it will be a surprise to you to know that during the last few days I have become awakened as to my real spiritual condition. As I reread some of the views I once appreciated and rejoiced in, I was surprised to find that to some extent their deep significance seemed obscure. I also found that some of the things that we had labored so hard to search out, and thought as new, had been presented some twelve years ago; and I saw that I was fast becoming spiritually blind, and that Satan was leading me around in a circle, as it were. Then, at the Convention meetings last Sunday, the fervor, the zeal, and the love manifested by the brethren touched my heart, already broken. Again, Brother Russell's talk on "Choose you this day whom ye will serve," caused me to seriously ask myself, Have I chosen aright? Does the Lord approve my course? Surely this that I both see and hear is Truth, and of the Lord, and yet I have arrayed myself in opposition to it. And then I prayed our Lord (as I had been praying for months), to open my eyes, and I believe he answered my prayer. I became convinced that the trouble was with myself, and not with the Truth as Brother Russell had presented it; I had not been looking at it from the proper angle of vision. I have since prayed over the matter, and some of the points have become clear to me, and I have confidence that in the Lord's due time it will all be plain again. So I have resolved, by the Lord's grace, to retrace my steps ere it is too late--to return to my "first love"--the Table where we all received the Truth.
There is no question, dear brethren, that of us who believe we are in the Harvest of the Gospel Age--in the second presence of the Lord--events of tremendous importance are occurring which are rapidly approaching a climax. Church Federation and events outside sink into insignificance in comparison with developments within the Church: "Every man's work is being tried as by fire"; the question is, "Who shall stand?" [page 223]
In view of my recent positive stand in opposition to the teachings of THE WATCH TOWER, no doubt my present attitude will seem inconsistent, but, dear Brethren, we must each answer to his own Master, and I know your love for me will prompt you to wish me God's blessing, even though to some extent our views of doctrine diverge. On the other hand, dear Brethren, I wish to assure you that my recent experiences and associations with you enable me to more deeply sympathize with you, and love you all. And even though you cannot admire my vacillation, believe me to be sincere.
As long as we stand together on "Christ, the solid Rock," I shall esteem you as brethren, and will daily pray that the mists of confusion which now threaten to separate us will speedily be cleared away, and then we will once more see "eye to eye." Meanwhile, dear Brethren, I trust you will see it to be the Lord's will to meet with us again, and can assure you a hearty welcome in seeking with us to know and serve the Lord. God bless you! With love, as ever,
Your brother and servant in the Redeemer,
CLARENCE E. FOWLER.

BEREAN STUDIES ON CREATION
The Text-Book Used for this Course of
Scripture-Studies is Series VI--Study I
AUGUST 7
(1) Is there any Scriptural foundation for the claim of some that original sin consisted in sexual intercourse on the part of our first parents? Give a full Scriptural analysis to this question. P. 41, par. 1,2.
(2) How should we regard the suggestions of some that the Scriptures mislead us into thinking of Adam as the first "of the earth, earthy"? What answer shall we give to those who urge a pre-Adamite race of man and who claim to find proofs of their hypothesis in various strata of the earth's surface, some of which they attribute to a period long before Adam's creation? Give Scriptural proof texts in contradiction to this theory and show their consistency with scientific facts. P. 42.
(3) State the views of Profs. Stokes, Bennett, Beale, Virchow and Barraude respecting the answer of geologists to the theory that man was developed from the lower orders of animals. P. 43, par. 1.
(4) Read to the class an extract from "The Meeting Place of Geology and History," by Sir J. W. Dawson, LL.D., F.R.S.

(6) Quote the views of the Russian savant, Prof. Virchow, respecting the Darwinian theory of man's evolution from lower animal species. P. 44, par. 3.
AUGUST 14
(7) Should we consider the unscriptural theories of Prof. Darwin and those who follow his suggestions as wise and logical, or otherwise? What proofs can be adduced to prove that humanity four thousand years ago no more had tails than we have--nor different toes and thumbs? P. 45, par. 2.
(8) What should be the attitude of the Lord's people in respect to these evolutionist propositions of our day which are discrediting the Bible in the eyes of the learned? P. 45, par. 3.
(9) In view of what we have already seen respecting these creative epochs styled in the Scriptures "days," what can we say of the Sixth Day, which we are now considering? When was its beginning and when its close? What would be the date of its close, counting from the beginning of the ordering of creation--the putting in order of the earth, the time of whose creation is not stated but whose setting in order is being accomplished during the seven great epoch days? Summarize the matter. P. 45, par. 4.
(10) We come now to the examination of the great Seventh Day of the creative period. Does it have an evening and a morning?
(11) What should we expect of this Seventh Epoch Day as viewed in the light of our findings respecting the six previous epoch days and what is signified by the statement that Jehovah God rested from his creative work during this Seventh Epoch Day? P. 46, par. 2,3.
(12) What has our Lord Jesus to do with this Seventh Epoch Day and the Father's cessation from creative work? Why did the Father rest? Will the Son undertake the completion of the Father's work? If so, why was it thus left to him? Make the entire matter clear. Let all of the class express themselves on this important question and have clearly in mind the matter of its great importance in God's Plan and therefore in the understanding of it. Pp. 47, 48.
AUGUST 21
(13) Did this resting on the part of the Great Creator from further creative work and from actively rescuing his creatures from sin and its penalty imply a lack of love on his part? Or how shall we understand it? P. 49, par. 1.
(14) What can we know respecting the period in which the Creator rests from his creative work? In other words, according to the Scriptures, how long will this Seventh Epoch Day last and how do we reach information on the subject? P. 49, par. 2.
(15) May we be sure that our Creator's expectations respecting the ultimate outcome of his purposes regarding the earth will be realized? Can we be sure that the Redeemer will accomplish all that the Father intended? P. 49, par. 2.
(16) Quote some Scriptures showing the ultimate victory of Messiah and the accomplishment of the Divine purpose. P. 49, par. 2; P. 50, par. 1.
(17) What grounds have we for assuming that the whole period in which God has been ordering the earth and developing it from the inert, void mass at the beginning down to the Paradisiacal condition at the close of the Seventh Day will be in all a period of 49,000 years--seven great days of 7,000 years each? P. 50, par. 2.
(18) Give a brief outline of this creative epoch from the Scriptural standpoint. Quote Scriptures applicable to the earliest beginning of the creative power, and other Scriptures showing the glorious consummation at the end of these seven great days. P. 51, par. 1; P. 52, par. 1,2,3.
AUGUST 28
(19) Does the first chapter of Genesisconflict with scientific discoveries, or merely with the theories of some scientific gentlemen? Quote the views of Prof. G. F. Wright, D.D., LL.D., on this subject and discuss these. P. 52, par. 5,6.
(20) Is the Genesis account compatible with scientific facts? Do not these facts corroborate the Genesis records rather than conflict with the Divine record? What does Prof. Wright say for himself on this subject and what does he give as the opinion of the great geologist, Prof. J. D. Dana of Yale College? P. 52, par. 6.
(21) We have seen that the Genesis record does not attempt to explain the creation of the earth as respects its matter--that the Genesis account merely relates that there was such a beginning and that the matter was created by God, but tells nothing whatever of the time of its creation, nor concerning how long a period elapsed before the ordering work of the seven epoch days began. Does this view appeal to others? Read to the class a quotation on the subject. P. 53, par. 1.
(22) The Genesis record shows a progressiveness in the matter of bringing forth of vegetable and animal life; in part, perhaps, an evolutionary process. Our contention is merely as respects man's creation--that it was a distinctly separate work and in no sense an evolutionary process. What is the main point and argument of Prof. Darwin and his evolutionary followers? Read to the class what Prof. Wright has to say on this subject. P. 53, par. 2; P. 54; P. 55, par. 1.
(23) Let another read Prof. Wright's suggestions as respects the difference between human reason and animal instinct. P. 55, par. 4.
(24) Let another read to the class Prof. Wright's comment on man's capacity for religion in contrast with the incapacity of the brute. P. 55, par. 5; P. 56, par. 1,2.
(25) Who discovered the principle of "natural selection"? What does Prof. Wright remark respecting his findings and respecting the disposition of humanity to wear clothing and use tools and respecting his musical capacity, etc., etc.? P. 56, par. 3, to P. 58.

THE "NEW YORK AMERICAN"
Amongst the most prominent of the world's newspapers is the New York American. It published the weekly sermon on June 20 with the announcement that it would hereafter be a regular Monday feature.
We hope to turn in soon to the American quite a large list of subscribers for its Monday issue--especially from the Eastern States. To this end we offer it with THE WATCH TOWER for one year for $1.50, or for six months for 75 cents. If already a WATCH TOWER subscriber you may send us the additional 50 cents or 25 cents.
Do not forget to encourage the papers publishing the sermons, and should any discontinue their publication, promptly send a card of regrets and express hope that their publication may soon be resumed. Also advise us of such discontinuances.
INTERNATIONAL BIBLE STUDENTS ASSOCIATION
When using the above title, print it as we have it, without the apostrophe, and do not add "of Brooklyn." The Association is international and your branch of it is of your own city. We advise that this simple and appropriate and unsectarian name be not added to in any manner.
BROTHER RUSSELL'S SERMONS
The number of papers publishing the sermons is continually increasing, yet for lack of encouragement some are dropping them. Your Tract Fund contributions cannot be better used than in sending several of the sermon-papers to your friends and in writing encouraging letters frequently to the editors. If the sermon stops only once write to the editor of your disappointment.
JEWISH HOPES AND PROSPECTS
This little pamphlet, especially for the Jews, sells at 10c. per copy, including postage--three copies 25c., fifteen copies $1.

INTERNATIONAL BIBLE STUDENTS ASSOCIATION CONVENTION
CELORON, NEAR JAMESTOWN, N.Y.--JULY 30--AUGUST 7
WE ANTICIPATE a large attendance at this Convention, and advise friends intending to be present to send at once to us for reservations at the rate of $9, $11, or $14 each, for food, shelter and electric car or steamboat service to and from Celoron Auditorium. The $9 rate is usually for four in a room. Where a room is occupied by but two the rate will be not less than $11 each. Those paying in advance for the full nine days will naturally have the preference over those making a shorter stay. Remit to us at once. For less than the nine days the rate will be a little higher, $1.25 to $1.50 per day inclusive. The higher prices represent choicer accommodations, with only one or two in a room. The cheaper terms represent generally four in a room. Hotel accommodations at Jamestown will be scarce at any price. We have adopted the plan of making all the arrangements, believing it will be to the comfort and advantage of those in attendance, who will be considered as the Society's guests. Following will be found a table of rates showing cost of railway transportation which, from some points, is very reasonable.
Write to us at Brooklyn what accommodations you desire, and for how many, enclosing money order or draft for the same. We will immediately forward to you a memorandum with full description of the cottage, room, etc., apportioned to you, so that, on your arrival, you can proceed forthwith to your lodging place and find it ready and waiting for you. Along with this receipt and order we will send you programme for the Convention and a map showing the Lake, etc., and such further particulars as may seem necessary for your guidance.
On the list following, the cities marked * have regular Summer Excursion rates. These tickets should be purchased to Jamestown, N.Y. Other quotations noted are for the "Chautauqua Excursion," July 29. If you come from the West continue in the electric car to Celoron, paying an additional fare. If you come from Eastern points via Jamestown, get off at that place or at Celoron, about five miles westward, and do not go on to Chautauqua. Chautauqua tickets needing endorsement will be attended to by our Committee at Celoron.
It appears that there is no very special rate granted from Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Savannah, Jacksonville, etc. We believe that friends in those parts will do well to purchase their tickets to New York City via Penna. R.R.--on the customary "ten-or-more-to-the-party" plan, or on New York excursion plan--whichever is the cheaper. Then in New York they can easily transfer by the Subway to the Erie R.R. station and there secure the very favorable terms mentioned in our list as the rate from New York (July 29) to Jamestown and return ($11.75).
The "party-of-ten-or-more" rate is always available on all railroads. One ticket is sold for an entire party at an excursion rate. This is known as a theatrical rate. Friends in various parts of Northern Pennsylvania, not far from the Erie R.R. lines, will find it to their advantage to buy their tickets to some point on the Erie R.R. From points on the Erie R.R. there are special excursion rates to Chautauqua on July 29.
SPECIAL TRAIN FROM NEW YORK CITY
A special daylight train has been arranged for friends of New York City and vicinity, Friday, July 29, leaving via 23rd Street Erie Ferry at 7:40 a.m., Chambers Street Erie Ferry at 8 a.m. From Brooklyn take the Penn. R.R. Annex Ferry (at the foot of Fulton Street) at 7:15 a.m. for Jersey City. From the Pennsylvania Railroad Station in Jersey City take the Hudson Terminal Subway for the Erie Railroad Station.
The train starts from Erie Railroad Station in Jersey City, N.J., at 8:15 a.m., arriving in Jamestown at 7 p.m.
All who desire to be accommodated on this train, or would care to join the party from intermediate points between Jersey City and Jamestown, should at once communicate with the Celoron Convention Committee, 17 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, N.Y.
CHICAGO SPECIAL TRAIN WITH SLEEPERS
On Friday, July 29, at 6 p.m., a special train over the Erie R.R. will leave the depot, corner Dearborn and Polk Streets, Chicago, due to arrive at Celoron 7 a.m., July 30. The train will be composed of day coaches and Standard and Tourist sleeping cars. A berth in the Tourist Sleeper will cost $1.25; in the Standard Sleeper, $2.50. Two moderate-sized persons could occupy a lower berth comfortably.
Friends from beyond Chicago desiring to join this Excursion Train should at once notify Brother Dr. Jones, 3003 Walnut Street, Chicago, so that sufficient car space may be secured early, and should see to it that their tickets from Chicago read via the Erie Ry. Such as desire sleeping car accommodations should enclose the money at the above-mentioned rates.
OTHER SPECIAL TRAINS
There will probably also be special trains from points mentioned below, and inquiries should be made at once of those whose addresses are given:-- Pittsburg, Pa., N. S., Dr. W. E. Spill, 1002 Cedar Ave. East St. Louis, Ill., Horace E. Hollister, Box 54. St. Paul, Minn., Charles L. Dick, 515 Charles Street. Cincinnati, Ohio, Horace K. Blinn, 228 E. 4th St. Cleveland, Ohio, W. D. Soper, 5647 Broadway, S. E. Toledo, Ohio, Ernest Kuehn, 24 Produce Exchange. Columbus, Ohio, C. B. Shull, 170 North 22nd Street. Indianapolis, Ind., C. A. Owens, 1119 West 29th Street. Baltimore, Md., C. H. Anderson, 119 S. Calvert St. Washington, D.C., J. T. D. Pyles, 1727 Columbia Rd., N.W. Boston, Mass., A. M. Graham, 165 Tremont Street. Philadelphia, Pa., N. F. Sears, 3038 North Darien St.
MAKING MELODY IN YOUR HEARTS
All who have learned the New Song of Moses and the Lamb are earnestly invited to come to this Convention, "Singing and making melody in their hearts unto the Lord." Thankful for the blessings already received from the hand of the Lord, let us come together glad to communicate to others of that grace which we have so freely received of our Father through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ--our Advocate. Let us leave the world behind and enjoy a season of spiritual fellowship and refreshment--in considering the "things freely given to us of God," and the "things which God hath in reservation for them that love him, which eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither hath entered into the heart of man." Whoever thus comes is sure to receive a blessing, as well as sure to dispense one.
Decide promptly what you believe will be to your advantage
and the Lord's will concerning you in respect to
attending this Convention. If you decide to come, secure
accommodations through us promptly; for the outlook
is that otherwise there will be confusion and trouble for
both you and us.
