YOU ARE offerDING ON THE FOLLOWINGA Better Day is ComingThese cards are quite collectable, the \"Lardent cards\" are often found as bookmarks in old Watch Tower publications. They were also used as postcards.Frederick Lardent (1885-1970) was an optician by profession, and wrote articles for medical magazines on occasion. A contemporary of Pastor Charles Taze Russell, founder of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society and International Bible Students Association, he produced two sets of cards – one with the prefix L (for Lardent) which ran to nearly 200 different copies, and one with the prefix F (for Frederick).His cards were circulated by all strands of Bible Student opinion until the mid to late-1920s. Then, as the Daily Heavenly Manna was phased out along with other changes, his cards were more circulated by those who left the Society. By 1931 he was on the speaker’s list for a breakaway movement in Britain. He formed the Christian Truth Institute in the UK, and published several anthologies of his cards, such as The Call of the Bride and Comforted of God. He also published the journal \"Gleanings for Truth Seekers\" as well as various booklets and tracts.In his will he left his printing blocks to Albert Hudson., a contemporary of Pastor Russell in the UK. Hudson, who once described Lardent’s efforts as having “a sublime disregard for copyright” promptly dumped them. This adds a bit to the scarcity value of the product for collectors. This is L-174, \"A Better Day is Coming\", and is a beautiful colorful card.
