REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Seven -"Do the Former Deeds"

The John class, however, emerged from the tumultuous days of the first world war with a love for Jehovah and for the truth that impelled them to serve him  with flaming zeal.  They  resisted those who tried to introduce sectarianism through practically idolizing the first president of the Watch Tower Society, Charles T. Russel, following his death in 1916.  Disciplined by persecutions and adversities, this Christian group  clearly received  a judgment of "well done" from their Master and an invitation to enter into his joy. (Matthew 25:21, 23)  They recognized in the course of world events, and in their own experiences, the fulfillment  of Jesus' great prophecy: "And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached  in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations and then the end will come." (Matthew 6:9, 10; 24:3-14)  If their love for Jehovah had been in some way lacking, it was fanned into a flame from that time onward.
