There is some construction
work underway a short dis
tance from my house. Mind
ful of my own forgetfulness,
I’ve often wondered if on
jobs like these, after a ter

has been completed and the
Witnesses Plan
Big Ga thering
Jehovah’s Witnesses of the
Edenton congregation are
completing'their preparations
to form a delegation ’to a
five-day convention of the
group in Baltimore, Md.
Under the direction of
Raymond Weathers, 219 Car
teret Street, local presiding
minister, the Witnesses will
be among 50,000 or more
persons attending the “God’s
Sons of Liberty” District As
sembly of Jehovah’s Witness
es, to be held in Baltimore’s
Memorial Stadium August
17-21. 4-
According to Weathers,
many of the local group
have arranged their vacations
from secular jobs so they
can attend the entire con
vention.
“Most people spend a va
cation at the shore or in
the mountains, and they can
not conceive of families us
ing their vacations to attend
sessions of Bible talks,” he
said. “It is even more diffi
cult for them when they
learn that oftentimes the
delegates volunteer to work
in one of the convention de
partments. Yet to us the an
nual assembly is the high
light of the year—something
we really look forward to.”
There has to be a motive
and, of course, there is.
“It’s love of God hnd of
one another,” Weathers ex
plained.

building half finished, what,
if anything, could be done
if it were discovered that
something vital had been for
gotten or omitted. Would the
builders have to tear down
what they had completed and
start again? Every time I
see a building under con
struction, this worries me.

shown holding a hammer,

ness, will never be wholly

History is what action and
plot are to a well-written
novel ... I don’t like su
perlatives in advertising. No
one has a monopoly on Best,
Greatest, Finest, etc. A deal
er may be as good as his
competitor—so he should op
erate on that premise and
let the consumer decide
who’s best.

never.

needs no reminder to patron
