WATCH TOWER REFERENCES RE TABERNACLE SHADOWS
Excuse me for taking a few moments of your valuable time. I write this message thinking perhaps it may be a means of assistance and blessing to some of the Lord's flock.
In studying the TABERNACLE SHADOWS, certain questions often come up which might receive a more satisfactory answer. Few of the friends, however, have the time to look up past references in THE WATCH TOWER. Quite a while ago I made a list of every reference I could find in the TOWERS from 1907 to 1914, relating to the TABERNACLE, and when we went over the TABERNACLE in class I found the added references exceedingly helpful and satisfying. I thought I might pass the blessing along to others. Hence I enclose a list of them, and you may do with them as you see fit. Our Bible Helps give references up to 1907, and these take up from that year to 1914 and also some Convention Reports.
God bless you, dear Brother, in all your labors of love, now and hereafter. You are constantly in my prayers. I love you and your work dearly.
Yours in the One Hope, DAVID DAVIDIAN.—Calif.

DEARLY BELOVED BROTHER RUSSELL:—
May the love of God be with thee! It has long been my desire to tell you my appreciation in my feeble way. Three years ago, I had the pleasure to listen to a workman in the Standard Oil Yard, Pt. Richmond, Cal. When I heard him I was amazed and coming home that night I told my wife that I had heard a man talk as none else before in my life, although I used to seek around for the Truth, but had failed to find that which I could love. My wife asked me to bring that man (Brother Starr) home, so I brought him home one night and I got some of my friends over to hear him. Thanks be to God for that night, for there began our happy life! Our home before that time was not very happy; but since then it has certainly changed. We are now consecrated to the Lord, and one of our friends, a sister, has done the same. Happiness untold in both homes is now to be found.
The Lord has been feeding us from His storehouse, and
each time when we read THE WATCH TOWER, and see the
letters from the friends, I simply must pray for each one of
them! It has been hard for me to learn certain lessons.
I
have prayed for patience and would forget time and time
again.
I am a hard workman and my associates are very
impatient.
So in a recent WATCH TOWER you told us to pray
for love to be cultivated in us, and in the evening report to
our Heavenly Father.
Since then I have had great blessings
along the line of patience.
Both my wife and I love the
brethren, for among them we spend all the time we can,
thanking our Heavenly Father for his loving kindness to us.
My wife is doing colporteur work as much as her strength
permits, and we have both had great blessings therefrom.
The six volumes have brought us untold happiness.
Daily
we pray the Lord to give you strength.
We love you and ask
you to include us in your petitions to the Lord that we may
be among that Little Flock.
BROTHER AND SISTER CHRISTIAN LARSEN.—Cal.
