The 1904 Herald of Gospel Liberty and John 1:1

 
See image above. I found this very interesting answer in regards to John 1:1:

Please explain John 1:1 through the Herald.~A.O. Jacobs, Newton, Illinois

Answer: The best explanation is a true translation, more in harmony with the Greek of John and with his doctrine. The passage might better have been rendered thus: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a divine being. For the literal translation of the language of John is this: "In (a) beginning was the Word, and the word was with the God, and the Word was (a) god. He was in a beginning with the God.

The Herald of Gospel Liberty is "what some claim was the first religious newspaper in the world. The Herald of Gospel Liberty played a formative role in the Christian Church that became part of the UCC" (United Church of Christ).
