● Selective Service regulations require that all men register for the draft when reaching 18 years of age. All of those required to do so should take care of the matter promptly, viewing it as a Christian’s obligation to the superior authorities. Elders will want to have this in mind when young brothers are nearing the age of 18 and give them appropriate reminders. Questions as to the young Christian’s responsibilities in this regard may be answered by the elders.
● The book “All Scripture Is Inspired of God and Beneficial” is now available, for purchase only, in grade-two English Braille. It is in seven volumes, each bound in a durable vinyl cover, at $45.00 for the set. You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth is available in grade-one French Braille. It is available on loan or may be purchased for $5.00.

As a reminder to those who have received Braille publications on a loan basis: If the publications are no longer being used, we would appreciate having them returned to the Society’s Braille Desk so that others may use them.
