“Charles Taze Russell, thou hast, by the Lord, been
crowned a king; and through the everlasting ages
thy name shall be known amongst the people, and thy enemies shall come and worship at thy feet.”
The Divine Plan of the Ages (SS-1), 1927 ed., p.

“He did a greater work for the cause of Messiah’s
kingdom than did any other man that ever lived on
the earth.”
Compare this to what Joseph Smith (Mormon) has said:
I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet. You know my daily walk and conversation. I am in the bosom of a virtuous and good people. How I do love to hear the wolves howl! When they can get rid of me, the devil will also go.
