Heir public ministry has taken i

rom all walks of life and into '<
lmost every town and country r
hroughout the world. As the 1
Vitnesses call at the homes, '
many Introduce themselves by f

"That ours is an educational

nd equip each member in Bible '
listory, research, public speak- 1
ng and their house-to-house '

mique aspect of this school is
hat there is no graduation.
\nother feature is that all members
are free to join, both young
ind old, male and female. It is
lot uncommon, acording to Mr.
?homas, to see a youngster eight
o ten years of age on the platoon,
delivering a well-prepar:d
Bible discourse. After each
tudent delivers his assignment,
le is given kindly counsel by
he instructor.
In addition to their local congregation
meetings, the Witlesses
organize conventions of
/arious sizes where advance
courses in ministerial training
ire Dresented. as will be done at
he coming Greensboro convention.
The program lor these
inventions is designed to better
;quip its members to stimulate
Bible education in the various
immunities to which they beong.
As they strive to educate
hemselves and oti,?rs on vital
Biblical topics, the Witnesses
make good use of the printed
sage. Many varied publications
ire usea 10 guoa advantage Dy
providing printed sermons and
lome Bible study courses.
During the convention in
Greensboro, the delegates will
je continuing their Bible education
work by calling on the
tiomes of local residents with
Brief sermon. They will be offering
to demonstrate the free
course in home Bible study and
will invite all persons to attend
the local convention.
