By Sabbath…we are to understand the Lord Jesus only, Who Alone is the Sabbath or Rest of Believers under the Gospel. And to keep this Sabbath from polluting it, is to believe in Him only unto righteousness. For to do any work, I mean to seek righteousness, or peace, or reconciliation with God by any work, is to pollute this Sabbath or this Rest; by Whom Alone, such as believe in Him, do and shall enjoy a glorious, an everlasting rest (Robert Garner).

Jehovah’s Witnesses: The Brooklyn Daily Eagle: November 1, 1916

    A year after this publication, The Watch Tower, had been established, Russell married Maria Ackley in Pittsburgh. She had become interested in him through his teachings, and she helped him in running the Watch Tower.
    Two years later, in 1881, came ‘The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society,’ the agency through which in later years ‘Pastor Russell’s sermons were published (as advertisements) in newspapers throughout the world. This Society progressed amazingly under the joint administration of husband and wife, but, in 1897 Mrs. Russell left her husband. Six years later, in 1903, she sued him for separation. The decree was secured in 1906 following sensational testimony and ‘Pastor’ Russell was scored by the courts.
    There was much litigation then that was quite undesirable from the ‘Pastor’s’ point of view regarding alimony for his wife, but it was settled in 1909 by the payment of $6,036 to Mrs. Russell. The litigation revealed that ‘Pastor’ Russell’s activities in the religious field were carried on through several subsidiary societies and that all of the wealth which flowed into him through these societies was under the control of a holding company in which the ‘Pastor’ held $990 of the $1000 capital and two of his followers the other $10.
