Show Bountiful Resident Gains Bible Post Announcement from Watch-tower Watch-tower Bible and Tract Society of Brooklyn, New York, said that Bountiful had been chosen to be the host city for the spring semi-annual circuit convention of Jehovah's Witnesses. Fred L. Vandres, presiding minister of the Salt Lake City congregation, said the three day Bible educational educa-tional program is scheduled for February 28 to March 1 and that all sessions will be held in the Bountiful Armory. Commented Mr. Vandres on the program, "Those who will be in attendance will enjoy a special treat. Last year Jehovahs Witnesses had a series of conventions con-ventions around the world in 24 cities and the highlights were filmed for later release, so at this Bountiful gathering a two hour film "Proclaiming Good News Around the World" will be shown on Saturday evening at 7:15 p.m." "World shattering events of the past few months opened the eyes of many honest hearted persons per-sons to the shocking realization that we are truly living in a most wicked generation. Mankind Man-kind needs God today and thus Jehovah's Witnesses stress reading read-ing the Bible daily, diligently applying its principles, thereby pleasing God." The climax Bible discourse will be given by a special traveling travel-ing representative on Sunday afternoon, March 1, at 3 p.m. The subject will be "Facing Up to the Urgency of Our Times." A peak attendance of over 700 ministers is expected. Utah Circuit Cir-cuit No. 1 is presently represented repre-sented from Bountiful to Richfield Rich-field in Utah and Ely and Elko, Nevada. , |
