OVERLAND MONTHLY

The “OVERLAND MONTHLY” magazine was a publication started by the journalist and author, Francis Bret Harte, and Published in San Francisco, California. In late 1908 they requested Pastor Charles Taze Russell to write a series of articles on “The Divine Purpose” which began to appear in February, 1909. The response to this series was so large that his articles on a variety of subjects continued to appear monthly until his death on October 31, 1916.
