A Series of Articles
written by
Pastor Charles Taze Russell
for the
The "OVERLAND MONTHLY" magazine was a publication started by the
journalist and author, Francis Bret Harte, and published in San Francisco, California.
In late 1908 they requested Pastor Charles Taze Russell to write a series of articles on
"The Divine Purpose" which began to appear in February, 1909.
The response to this series was so large that his articles on a variety of subjects
continued to appear monthly until his death on October 31, 1916.
This book is a collection of these articles. They have been reproduced from Xerox
copies of the original magazine articles which accounts for the lack or reproduction
quality on certain pages.
