A $75,000 dwelling in Kensington Heights has been deeded to the ancient kings and prophets of Palestine by Judge J. R. Rutherford, president of the International Bible Students’ Association. Judge Rutherford stated he had purposely landscaped the grounds with palm and olive trees so that the kings and prophets would feel “at home” when they come.

Two associations of which Judge Rutherford was the head had offered him the home. He accepted it on condition that he be allowed to write the deed. In order to prevent imposters from claiming the residence Judge Rutherford has designated officers of his societies who, “having consecrated themselves to the Lord,” will be able to distinguish imposters from the real princes.
