Book Commended, by Rev. J. P. MacQueen.
A new important publication entitled, “But The Bible Does Not Say So,” by the Rev. Roberto Nisbet, Vice-Moderator of the Waldensian Church, and competently translated from the Italian by the gifted linguist, Mrs. Hilda Nott, has just been issued from the Press at the modest price of 2/6, postage 4d. extra. There is a foreword by Professor Sir Douglas Savory, retired Member of Parliament for Queen’s University College, Belfast, in which he says: “I do not know of any work which sets forward so clearly the dogmas of the Roman Catholic Church and refutes them so clearly and incisively. It could very well be set as a text book for all teachers in training colleges,” and candidates for the sacred office of the ministry would find it quite indispensable. Though Rev. Roberto Nisbet is an Italian Waldensian, his unmistakable Scottish descent is revealed in his famous Covenenting surname. All the usual stock-in-trade sophistry and casuistry of the Jesuit controversialist is here met and exposed by the most cogent of all logical arguments—the perfect infallible authority of the Word of God. How many Protestants, for instance, know that the Roman Catholic perverted version of the Fourth Commandment is “Remember the feast days to keep them holy.” This book is to be had from: The Secretary, Church Book Room Press, 7 Wine Office Court, Fleet Street, London, E.C.4, and should be in every Protestant home, or rather, in every home, Protestant or otherwise.
Thirty Years a Watch Tower Slave by William J. Schnell.
This book is a most devastating exposure of Jehovah’s Witnesses by one who for years was one of their leading exponents in close and intimate co-operation with Judge Rutherford. “It was in the year 1954,” the foreword reads, “that William J. Schnell wrestled with God in prayer for an entire agony-filled night. As morning broke he arose with peace in his soul and a song in his heart. For the first time in thirty years Schnell was a free man. For three decades he had been enslaved in one of the worst totalitarian systems of the twentieth century. That morning he stood up with the firm determination that, with God’s help, he would reveal to the world the inner workings of the Watch Tower Society. “This book is a powerful warning to all who may be approached by the mis-named Jehovah’s Witnesses. It is likewise Mr. Schnell’s appeal to his former brethren to throw off their shackles and to return to the liberty which is in Christ Jesus.” Price 12/6 net. Obtainable from Messrs. Marshall, Morgan & Scott, Ltd., 1-5 Portpool Lane, Holborn, London, E.C.1.
