Show Witnesses Meeting Will End Sunday The three-state 19-congrega-tion circuit convention of Jehovah's Je-hovah's Witnesses came to a close Sunday afternoon as John P. Sutherland, district supervisor super-visor and principal speaker, addressed ad-dressed a record attendance of 957 persons on the third and final day of this Bible educational educa-tional gathering. In his keynote Bible talk entitled en-titled "The Bible's Answer to Our Problem of Survival," delivered de-livered in the Clearfield High School and climaxing this convention, con-vention, Mr. Sutherland said, "For centuries survival has been mankind's greatest problem. The solving of it has always been a 'will-o-the-wisp,' and the pursuit pur-suit of it has always depended on force with mankind deluding himself into thinking that his efforts will be the means of se-curing se-curing it. Nothwithstanding man's efforts the great threat to survival is not nuclear weapons, atomic fall-out or population explosion, ex-plosion, but, rather, the war of the great day of God the Almighty, Al-mighty, Armageddon." Continued M r . Sutherland, "This war will not be fought between be-tween humans but rather powerful power-ful spiritual creatures, headed on one side by Jehova's Son, Christ Jesus, and on the other side by his enemy, Satan. The many examples of the protection God gives to his faithful followers follow-ers is promise enough that there is a sure hope for some survivors of this great threat to fulfill God's purpose for the earth and man to endure." Fred Vandres, presiding minister min-ister of the local congregation, said that all in attendance were stirred to action and realizing that time for mankind to serve God is running out, all fo Jehovah's Je-hovah's Witnesses are anxious to return to their home territory to zealously proclaim the Word of Life. |
