An hour and three-quarters of foolishness
was enjoyed by all when "military mass" was
celebrated at Fort Jay, to commemorate the
300th anniversary of the purchase of Gover-
nor's Island from the Indians. Everything
was as strictly Roman Catholic as could be
desired, including the rolling of drums, bugle
salute, saluting the flag, etc., when the idola-
try was at- its height. The speaker, "Reverend
Father" William
B.
Martin, pastor of Holy
Family Church, New Rochelle,
N. Y.,
called
for a crusade against "the forces of atheistic
Communism", and then spoiled it

The Golden Age's
New
Name-Consolation
P P E AR I NG in this issue in a new
dress,
The Golden Age,
on its
eight-
eenth anniversary, takes a new
name,
a
Scriptural one. This does not
mean, however, that this will
be a reli-
gious magazine. The old name suggested
religion and tradition; the new name
stands for truth.
In the mythical Roman golden age all
was peace, happiness and contentment,
the earth yielded its fruits spontaneous-
ly and spring was eternal; and while it
is true that there is here
a
hint of the
paradise that was lost in Eden, and
which will be restored; and while it is
also true that the Romans had
a
legend
that the
mythical
golden age would
some-
time return, why continue to use a leg-
endary
or
religious name, when a better
name,
a Scriptural
one,
may
be
had in its
place!
Since the Lord J-esus has come to the
temple and the Day Star has arisen in the
hearts of God's "remnant", and He is
being revealed also to the "great multi-
tude", it is not appropriate to appear to
continue to look for a return of a myth-
ical golden age such as mythology alleges
existed in Rome when the heathen god
Saturn 'kept men free from bodily in.
firmities or
the
necessity
of
labor'. The
word
saturnalia
is derived from the
name Saturn.
The Golden Age
has been a consolation
to many: their letters, though appreci-
ated, are not published; the magazine
speaks for itself.
It
is the intent to make
it better with every issue; -indeed, that
has always been its motto.

zine was appreciated before, it will be
more appreciated hereafter; and there
will be some new features. No need to
tell you. Look!
"Consolation" is solace in compact, inten-
sive form. The Hebrew
tahnkhoom
and Greek
paraklesis
(calling alongside for help) occur
32 times in the Scriptures and arc, in the Com-
mon Version, translated sixteen times by the
English word "consolation", derived from
the Latin
solari,
meaning solace. Mar the new
name of the "Journal of Fact, Hope and
Courage" be prophetic of the place it
will
occupy in Jehovah's organization in the stir-
ring years that are just at hand!
"Waiting for the Consolation"
For centuries Jehovah's people have, like
the just and devout Simeon, been "waiting
for the
consolation
of Israel" (Luke 2: 25),
and their hearts' desire has been gratified.
The Kingdom has come; Jesus, as
a
divine
spirit, is here, ruling in the midst of His
enemies.
"Rejoice ye with Jerusalem [God's
organi-
zation], and be glad with her, all yo that love
her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn
for her: that ye may suck, and be satisfied
with the breasts of her
consolations
j
that ye
may milk out, and be delighted." (Isaiah
66: 10, 11)
This magazine hopes to have
a
share
in
dispensing these blessings of
conso-
lation.
Truth on any subject is
a
consolation.
It
is
of no use for anyone to think he loves God if
he does not love the truth. David voiced the
attitude of
all
Jehovah's people
when
he said,
"In the multitude of my cares- within me, thy
consolations
delight my
soul."
(Psalm 94: 19,
3
Their difficulties were straightened out by an
epistle, "which when they had read, they reo
joiced
for the
consolation."
