?r\ J Read The Future Outlook! THE Keep Up With The Times! VOL. 21, NO. 87 GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1962 PRICE 5 CENTS A School From Which You Never Graduate One of the world's fastest growing ministerial societies ? never "graduates" its ministers. "Christian development nevier L ends and the Christian minister can always advance in minister . ial qualifications." These are Jehovah's Witnesses. For that reason the organiz . ' a lion provides a : continuous training program of activity for young and old. A featured part , of that program is to be a three day conference of Jehovah's Witnesses scheduled for July 16 .15 at the Coliseum. Their spokesman is Mr. Garland Mc Iver,. 2112 Belcrest Drive, a min ister. of Jehovah's Witnesses and the ministry school director ior the Central Unit Congrega tion, 442 East Washington St. :J . "Since their beginning Jeho vah's Witnesses have been a ,'i preaching fellowship," Mclver said. "The faith of each believ ing Christian in the organization is tested by his participation in the most important Christian activity-propagation of the faith. , .v. "By plying this method," Mc Iver continued, "during the past ten years the Witnesses have V' doubled their numbers in North \i. ? ,;v! America, multiplied five times in Asia, more than six times in . : the Pacific Islands, seven times in Europe and Africa, and more than twelve times in the Atlantic Islands and nearly fifteen times ? 'in South America. "As a stimulation to the preaching methods of the Wit nesses the Greensboro program carries the theme "Courageous Ministers." This will provide the background for the advanced ii;, course planned," Mclver said. ? "The program is really an ex tension of and a refresher for the regular training program conducted in all congregations 'of Jehovah's Witness," Mclver ? explained. "One of the require ments for every Christian that ?Is set forth in the Bible is that he be 'apt to teach,' " he said. !? . r'". "That means he must not only be well grounded in the Bible but he must be acquainted with . the techniques of preaching. Jesus took the apostles with him on his tour of Galilee, where they could observe his teaching. Then he sent them out by twos and. later, after training others, sent out seventy others by twos. " "Jesus told his disciples, 'Freely you have received, give freely.'an d Jehovah's Witnesses believe that this applies to their Christian knowledge as much as to anything else. Jesus made the statement when he was send ing his followers out to preach." According to Mclver, Jeho vah's Witnesses conduct a re gular schedule of five weekly classes in all their congrega tions. Their object is to develope each believer into a preacher. Two classes are conducted as ad vanced studies of the Bible, an other is to improve speech and speaking ability with practice sermons given by the students enrolled. Another is a ministry development class, where prob lesrs of the ministry are dis cussed. The fifth meeting is a public sermon on a timely Bible subject. "After a new student expres ses his willingness and dedicates himself to do God's will as Jesus did," Mclver said "he is assisted in practical field minis try by being assigned to a ma ture minister who assists him in develpoing his preaching abi lity." "After features of the regular training program will be covered at the Greensboro convention," Mclver said. "However, these meetings at the coliseum will be under the direction of Mr. Saka .os, a special representative of he Watch tower Bible and Tract Society sent out from New York." The Greensboro program sche duled for July 13-15 will draw more than 6,000 people from a 20 state area, according to Mc lver. In addition, a number of car groups of interested per sons are planning to attend the sessions, all of which are open to the public. The meetings are free and no collections will be taken at any time. MISS ANNIE B. HERB IN Receives Master Degree Miss Annie B.
