In an explanatory paragraph in the will the testatrix states: "I am fully persuaded from Bible testimony which is the word of Jehovah God and that God's Kingdom is now in course of establishment, and that it will result beneficially to the people of the earth; that the governing power or authority will be invisible to men, but that the Kingdom of God will have visible representatives on the' earth, -who will have charge of the affairs of the nations under the supervision of the invisible ruler Christ Jesus; that among those who be the, faithful representatives and visible governors of the world will be David who was once king over Israel, and other faithful men who are named in the Bible at Hebrews the eleventh chapter.
