Jehovah's witnesses told by one of their
oldest associates and best-known ministers.
FAITH ON THE MARCH:
The inspiring, spiritual-and human-events
recorded in this book are almost without parallel
in our time. Through its pages marches a band
of dedicated men who, like the early Christians,
were willing to sacrifice their living, their social
standing-even their lives-for God's truth, as
they saw it.
For the sake of this truth they have risked
imprisonment by their uncompromising stand of
neutrality. They have many times been sub-
jected to criminal prosecution and imprisonment
for alleged sedition. Their joyous faith and
strength throughout these trials is a permanent
inspiration to the millions of men and women-
Jehovah's witnesses-who follow their footsteps
today.
This is their story, told by a man who has
been one of the faithful for over five decades,
who has seen a tiny group of believers multiply
and expand into a mighty world organization.
Here you watch these spiritual pioneers as
they entered upon their mighty work. You share
their sacrifices and devotion . . . their joy as
their study of the Bible reveals to them God's
purpose for mankind. You are by the side of
the beloved Pastor Charles Taze Russell, who,
like Moses, led his people to a Promised Land.
Here, from the pen of one of his loyal asso-
ciates, is the heart-warming story of this great
man's quest for Truth . . . his doubts, his tire-
less and often lonely exploration of Scripture,
his fearless preaching of Christ's return and the

Millenium. Here is a vivid account of the
troubles that assailed the young movement after
Pastor Russell's death . . . the uncertainty, the
bitter dissension . . .the gathering hostility that
erupted in the famous 1918 Sedition trial of the
Society's directors, in which the author himself
was a defendant. Through his eyes, you see the
stern test of their courage in the ordeal of the
next nine months, and of the difficult, stormy
years that followed.
Clearly and succinctly, this book tells what
Jehovah's witnesses believe . . . the glorious
prophecy that neither fades nor fails through
good times and bad . . . that has flashed through
the world, spreading its message of fulfillment
and hope in every land . . . how, in spite of
mobs, bans, confiscation, and proscription, these
people have won acceptance in community after
community, country after country, and showed
millions the way to eternal life on earth.
Here is explained their stand on such crucial
questions as the purpose of Christ's first coming
. . . what his return means . . . whether there
is truly life after death . . . the meaning of
ressurection . . . why the Battle of Armageddon
must come . . . when the new earthly paradise
forseen in the Bible will be restored, and who
shall enjoy it.
With quiet, persuasive conviction, A. H.
Macmillan gives the reasons for Jehovah's wit-
nessess' refusal to salute the flag, the principles
behind their theocracy and their door-to-door
preaching of the gospel.
Faith on the March is permeated with the
joy and satisfaction that comes from a lifetime
of serving God. The author's own story of his
early self-doubts and soul-searching, his conver-
sion and the rewarding and eventful years that
followed, will cheer and encourage readers of
every faith.
