that invitation. Drink of the life-giving waters of truth that Jehovah God now causes to stream forth from his written Word, the Holy Bible. In the carrying on of your Bible study associate yourselves with these symbolic fruit-bearing, curative trees of life and with all those who have already united themselves with this spiritual nation, whose God is Jehovah and whom he has chosen for his inheritance. Get spiritually healed. Let the deadly breach between you and Jehovah God be removed. Come to oneness, to friendly relationship with him, that you may not be destroyed as his enemy at Armageddon. Seek the forgiveness of your sins through his Lamb, Jesus Christ, and be relieved of the condemnation of eternal death. Let the truth of God’s Word make you free. Get your upset mind made over to God’s healthy, peaceful way of thinking. Leave this unhealable old world to its agonizing death at Armageddon and give your loyal devotion to God’s kingdom by Christ and be relieved of the oppression of Satan the Devil, “the god of this world.”
42. For what opportunities of survival and life do we put ourselves in line, and how?
42 Let your broken heart be bound up by knowing the comfort and joy of practicing the true religion, the worship of the one true God with spirit and with truth. Tell others how you were spiritually healed and invite them and guide them to the riverside to drink of the water of everlasting life. Put yourself in line to be protected by God through the end of this dying old world and to survive in excellent spiritual health into God’s new world under his kingdom, there to be further healed bodily until you attain to human perfection in a paradise restored, where there will be no more death as a penalty for the first man’s sin. (Rev. 21:1-4) Recognize the curative power of the great heavenly Physician Jehovah and avail yourself now of the healing that has drawn near to all people of all the nations, through his kingdom by Jesus Christ.

Handbill Message Convinces
● One way in which the Watch Tower Society makes the most of its opportunities is by printing messages on the backs of the handbills that advertise its public lectures. That doing this serves a good purpose is apparent not only from the requests for literature the Society receives from readers of the handbills but also from the reporting of such experiences as the following: “As the mother of five small youngsters, I used to find very little time for reading. But usually the day I washed and waxed my floors I’d read in the corner I had waxed myself into. On this particular day when I found myself in a corner I didn’t have a thing within reach to read. Then I remembered the little handbill a lady had left several weeks earlier. I had put it in my empty planter lamp on the radio. Because it was near I thought I might as well read it, rather than sit there idle. I was so convinced on the subject ‘Is Hell Hot?’ that I decided to look into the religion more thoroughly. As a result, both my husband and myself are sincere believers of the truth, and thank Jehovah for the many ways, though small, he has for gathering his sheep.”
