Meeting Ended By Witnesses
RALEIGH —“Armageddon
is the forerpnner of-the
happiest time for man
kind in all human history,”
explained Lester L. Roper,
Bible authority and lec
turer, here Sunday.
The occasion was the
concluding day of the mid-
Atlantic “Disciple-Making”
District Assembly of Je
hovah’s Witnesses, which
drew delegates from more
than half of the United
States to the State Fair
ground’s Dorton Arena,
August 3 to 6.
M. E. Baltrami, local
minister, headed a delega
tion of Witnesses and in
terested persons from the
Edenton area. They were
among the more than 10,850
in attendance that heard
Roper, Watchtower official
of New York, speak on the
subject, “Rescuing a Great
Crowd of Mankind Out of
Armageddon.”
Roper described Arma
geddon as God’s war to be
directed against “this
wicked system of things”
and urged his audience to
look into the Bible more
carefully in order to follow
a course pleasing to God.
“Although we do not
date Armageddon,” said
Beltrami, commenting on
Charlie Bill Phelps.
Mr. and Mrs. J. B.
Smithwick visited Mr. and
Mrs. Hobson Taylor of
Williamston Sunday.
the convention, “we feel
the urgency of the times
rule out its being in the
distant future. Therefore,
we stress the prime obli
gation of Christians today
is to aid others to build up
their faith in God.”
The entire convention,
according to Beltrami, was
operated by some 2,000
volunteer workers, includ
ing many local Witnesses.
A highlight of the four
day event was a mass bap
tism of 140 persons in a
lake on the fair grounds.
Beltrami announced that
the weekly meetings at
the local Kingdom Halls
would be resumed this
week.
