Millions Now Living Will Never Die, “Concluding argument”

1920 · p.97 · J. F. Rutherford · International Bible Students Association

“that 1925 shall mark the resurrection of the faithful worthies of old and the beginning of reconstruction, it is reasonable to conclude that millions of people now on the earth will be still on the earth in 1925. Then ... we must reach the positive and indisputable conclusion that millions now living will never die.”

The book's title claim is explicitly derived from the 1925 expectation.
