The Harvest Is Not Ended
The Watch Tower (C. T. Russell, editor)
Unsigned lead article of The Watch Tower for 1 September 1916. It holds that the Times of the Gentiles ended in October 1914, calls the expectation that the harvest would close by then a mistake, and sets out parallels in which the nominal Christian house is made desolate from 1881 to 1918.
