Three Booklets

on a Contribution of 10c Should Be Most Attractive

The foreign-speaking brethren in the United States will find this an excellent opportunity to further spread the Kingdom message among the people of their own language. During the month of September there was tried a special offer of . three booklets in English on a 10c contribution, and this went exceptionally well. The Lord’s favor was manifest; and his blessing will undoubtedly rest upon the special campaign during December and January with foreign literature.

Companies, auxiliaries, sharpshooters and pioneers should order their stock immediately. You may have a small supply of this stock on hand, but do not bother with that supply now. Order a new stock and these will be charged to you at a lower rate during the two months of December and January. Any orders received for the booklets mentioned below can be hud by the companies and auxiliaries at 1c less than the regular rate and by the pioneers at jc less. This will enable all the workers to place 3 booklets in the, hands of the people on a contribution of 10c.

(Continued from page 1, column -I) three on 50c contribution just the same. When the wrappers come, use them.                            ‘        .

To further aid the brethren., each worker should be supplied with a testimony card. These will be printed and consigned to the companies and sharpshooters, aud these should be used in presenting the combination of three books to the people. The testimony card has proved a valuable aid in the spreading of the Kingdom message in. printed form. With

the Kingdom message in printed form. Each individual should put forth every effort and make careful plans and arrangements for this witness work. The winter months are the best for reading, and the best time to get this literature into their hands; so let’s do it now.

Listed below are the booklets and the languages in which these booklets can be had at this special rate, and the ones which we desire to be used during this special campaign. Place your orders immediately and we will fill all orders as long as the stock lasts.

it the brethren will be able to work more rapidly, cover more territory, and thus place more literature. Jehovah’s witnesses want to .find those of good will who are interested in the Kingdom message and With these leave the literature.

way for man to enjoy everlasting life on earth and that the earth is to be transformed into a paradise.”

The above-mentioned books and the ri ¹ i., its taken therefrom are just t tinny for :the people.

Thursdays as Well Saturdays and Sundays

Should Be Regular Witness Days

Most of the activity among companies is now carried on during Saturdays and Sundays. There is some work done by a few during the middle of the week, but we do not believe that there is nearly as much being done during this time as might he done. This is particularly true in the special service periods.

The Society has made a new arrangement to take effect immediately, and that is, that during the special service periods the factory, office and Bethel home will be closed all day Thursday to enable the Bethel family to have one whole day In the middle of the week in the field witness work. The arrangements are: The family will start with breakfast in the morning at 7: 00 o’clock. Each one will take a lunch with him and go into the field service, having his lunch in the field and working until welt into the afternoon and return to Bethel for supper at 5: 09 o’clock in the evening. We believe a similar

It has been a good many years since the territory has been covered with clothbound books such as The Harp 0/ God, Delivera,nce, Reconciliation, or Life. This really means that practically all of the territory is virgin territory. The work of December and January will be like starting with a new book or a new booklet, and we surely do have a new extraordinary combination. Territory which has been so thoroughly covercd with booklets during the past year should be in a very good condition for bound hooks, and every effort should be put forth by each individual worker to see to it that this offer is made and put within reach of the people.

The directors and sharpshooters should make careful plans and give

Now Is the Time to Place Them

Jehovah has graciously unfolded to his people his purposes, and he has provided them with this information in such a form that they can carry out their commission and responsibility, which is, to bear to others the. truths they have received. Let ns stop for a minute to consider what is contained In these books.

Everyone who has read The Harp of God will recognize the following: “A textbook for Bible study especially adapted to the use of beginners, dedicated to the invisible King of Glory now present, in the interest of the generation now on earth who will become his loyal subjects.” There are millions of people waiting for this book.

...Now for Deliverance: "A vivid description of the divine purpose, particularly-outlining Jehovah’s progressive steps against wickedness, arrangement can be made her of the brethren throng country and know that it will res an. in a more effective and greater witness to the name and purposes of Jehovah and will, therefore, have the Lord's blessing. This method is strongly recommended to the brethren throughout the country. In addition to ’Thursday, of course, the Bethel family will also have Saturday afternoon and Sunday to participate in the field work with the rest of the Lord’s people throughout the earth.

Service leaders sent ont from Bethel within an area of 200 miles, instead of going on Friday night or Saturday morning as formerly, will now leave after work Saturday noon. Wherever possible the brethren will leave immediately after dinner and be with you to have some part in the service Saturday afternoon and serve the local company Saturday evening, participate with them in the field service on Sunday, returning home Sunday night. Therefore in your request for brethren to serve your company during the “Servant’s Testimony Period” Nov. 24 to Dec. 2, do not expect them before Saturday afternoon.

sufficient territory to all the workers as well as have a good supply of literature on hand, so that this work can progress without any hindrances. It will hardly be necessary for pioneers and auxiliaries to move to other territory during these two months, for it will be very well for them to remain in the territory in which they now are and cover it with this special combination on contribution of 50c. Almost all pioneers have been working with Preparation, Preservation, Government and booklets, and now, with this new arrangement for two months, it will save them traveling expenses by their covering this same territory with this special offer. Consider these points and see what will be to the best advantage in the interest of the Lord’s kingdom.

TESTIMONIES TO HATE, 4,037,491

“Dividing the People” Testimony-Jan. 20-28

Transcription Meetings Should Be Started

Advertise Them Well According to Instructions

The importance of this campaign cannot be overstated. The truth of Jehovah is now forcing the people to take their stand on one side or the other of the great issue; thus they are being divided and forced to identify themselves. He has committed into the hands of his remnant the privilege of proclaiming this great truth, and lias blessed us with every necessary requirement to do the work.

Upon the service directors and sharpshooters rests the responsibility of making the detailed preparations for this work so that others associated with them may in no wise be hindered. The other brethren in the companies have the responsibility of fully cooperating in making the campaign a real success by devoting as much time to it as they possibly can and also seeing to it that unnecessary hindrances are set aside and that they are not deterred by inclement weather or other obstacles which a few years back we considered as insurmountable, but which the anointed now recognize as only another opportunity to demonstrate their zeal and love for Jehovah by overcoming these. Pioneers and auxiliaries will, of course, make their personal arrangements to push this campaign vigorously, especially if they are in isolated territory.

In choosing territory keep in mind that this campaign also inaugurates the special transcription activity. This will mean a slight departure . from the general outline presented in the special transcription bulletin, in this, that Dividinff the People will be presented the first time you go over tiie territory, instead of the other literature as recommended in the special bulletin. In other words, you will be presenting the Dividing the People booklet the first time and the last time you go over the territory set aside for the transcription program. Afterwards, of course, you will return to the plan presented in the special transcription bulletin. Choose your territory, therefore, and arrange for a portable transcription machine meeting and advertise the meeting as you go along with the booklet in a given district. If your company is large enough, arrangements can be made for a number of portable transcription meetings, provided you have the machines to. handle them.               '

Tn 1 lie work with the Dlvvling the People hooklei rover as much territory as you possibly can and in the transcription meeting district also advertise the transcription lecture with the first announcement.

Many Radio Stations ’ Engaged for Series of Bro. Rutherford’s Lectures

Consigning Radio Folders

It has again been arranged to broadcast over in any stations throughout the United States the remarkable series of lectures by Brother Rutherford, beginning with “Religious Intolebakce: Wby” on December 31. More than 400 radio stations have been invited to take this lecture, but through fear, and because of plain, outspoken truths such as Brother Rutherford always uses, many are afraid to broadcast it. However, 125 stations will well cover the United States. We hope that all of the brethren will have opportunity to hear this epochmaking speech. This lecture will be followed by five others, as has been set out in the radio folder shipped to all companies, auxiliaries and pioneers. These lectures also were given over large chains, and now, by electrical transcription, more than 200 stations will rebroadcast them. Over 3,700,000 radio announcements for the December 31 lecture have been shipped, and now there are being shipped a similar number announcing the series of five which will be given during January and on February 4, one on each Sunday. Be sure that everyone with whom you conic in contact is duly informed of this series, because it is of utmost importance that the people hear. These special radio folders are being consigned. The distribution of folders announcing the five lectures should begin December 31 and continue until all are .disposed of.

Send in Request for Service Leader

In harmony with the usual custom, the office and factory at Brooklyn will be closed on the forenoon of Saturday, January 20 and January 27, to enable the entire Bethel family to have two full days at each end of the campaign in the field service.

Those companies within 200 miles of Bethel who desire service leaders for this period will please write to the office immediately, making such request.. When such requests are made it is understood that arrangc-

Don't Forget! Dec. 31, 9 a.m.,

merits will be made by the company to have as many as possible participate in the service Saturday forenoon and afternoon and Sunday. Some of the brethren, when they reach an appointment, find that no provisions have been made for Saturday’s activity. This should not be. If none of the company are able to go out in the service on Saturday it is Inirdly worth sending a service leader nil tire way from Brooklyn, incurring considerable expense.

Divisional Campaign Meeting

Year Book and Calendar

It is essential that everyone have a copy of the Tear Book. It contains a most thrilling report of the work accomplished by Jehovah’s witnesses under the direction of Jehovah's organization. The president of the Society has written this report and you will, be pleased to learn that in hook form it required 32 more pages to print the report than in previous years, They are 50c a copy.

Auxiliary Division Should Increase

Transcription

One of the Big Features

There are certain features in every year’s work that are outstanding, and certain objectives that the Lord’s anointed will earnestly strive to accomplish. The purpose of the organization which the Lord has formed is to give a testimony to the nations of the earth concerning God’s purposes. He has blessed us with the great privilege of being his witnesses that he is Jehovah and that his kingdom shall shortly he established in all the world for the blessing of those who love righteousness. Due to the fact that the remnant are commissioned to give the testimony, it is appropriate tiiat the Society should set as its goal each year a quota in testimonies. In arranging for the quota, which is set at 22,500,000 testimonies given in the United States, the number of company workers, of pioneers, of auxiliaries and of sharpshooters has been carefully considered. The time they are putting into the service has been used as a basis for the quota, as well as the number of testimonies they are delivering each hour. There has been a marvelous increase in the number of workers this year. This is due mostly to those of good will, the Jonadab class, who are taking in the water of life freely and then in turn passing it on to others. These have been richly blessed, and should be aided hy all of the Lord’s people, throughout the coming year, to continue in this privilege of honoring Jehovah’s name in the earth.

The Workers

It is estimated that during the fiscal year 1934 there will be an average of 14,000 company workers and sharpshooters engaging in the field service and reporting monthly. We hope that this will be increased, however, due to the interest shown by the Jonadab class, which results would be included in company results. It is hard to estimate this figure. In considering the number of pioneers that might be expected in the service, the estimate is 1,850 reporting each month. There are more than 2,000 on our list, but, for some reason or other, between 150 and 200 always fail to send in reports. We hope that during the coming year this will be overcome. Even though pioneers are ill or unable to work during the month, a report should be sent in, so that we shall be in close contact with every individual in the pioneer service. The pioneers are granted the greatest privilege, because they cau spend all of their time in giving testimony, which is the commission to them from Jehovah. During the year their experiences in the work as reported to this office have been very gratifying.

The Auxiliaries

There has not been much of an increase in the auxiliary list, but here is a point we hope that every company worker will consider. Our estimate is 850 for the year; but we hope that hy the end of the year this will be far short, because the number in the auxiliary work should be at least more than 1,000 reporting monthly. Many of the company workers are working only part-time or Short hours, many on a 5-hour day, others 4 days a week ; and with such hours for their secular employment which is necessary to take care of their obligations, it would be easily possible for many of these individuals to arrange their time so as to spend at least two or three hours a day in the field work. If this be done, in a month’s time they could easily pnt in 55 hours in the work, and, in that way, be enrolled as auxiliaries, making reports direct to the Society. Special rates are granted those on the auxiliary list. In spending a few extra hours a day in this branch of the service it will be especially pleasing to the Lord, and much witnessing can be accomplished by going at it in a systematic manner such ub this. We hope that every company director will bring this to the attention of the company every short while, and then it will be up to each individual to decide whether he has the time or can arrange to engage in the auxiliary branch of the service.

How you are able to arrange your time to engage in this work will be of interest to this office, as your experience may be an aid to others to get into the auxiliary work.

Placements

In order that contracts may be made for the purchase of paper, and schedules made for the operation of the factory, it is necessary to work out an estimate of the amount of literature that is expected to be placed in the United States. It is anticipated and hoped that during the year 1,250,000 clothbound books will be placed by the companies, pioneers and auxiliaries. Also, it is estimated that 9,250,000 booklets will be placed, as this is the big work for the year. Experience shows that by covering your territory as often as possible, and leaving a different booklet each time, more booklets can be placed. This would make a grand total of 10,500,000 pieces of literature placed in the United States. Tliis can be done if all the workers in the United States put in a total of 5,000,000 hours and deliver 22,500,000 testimonies. These figures are tremendous, but it can be accomplished, by the Lord’s grace.

For your encouragement; During the month of October more than 1,300,000 pieces ' of literature were placed by the workers in the United States. If we average a million books and booklets a month, which is possible, we shall very easily reach tills quota. If the remnant do their part the Lord will grant the increase.

Outstanding Events

For this year the Society has set aside five special testimony periods of 9 days each. The details of each period will be set out in the Bulletin from time to time. Two of the periods for the fiscal year which began October 1 have passed with astonishing results. We list these dates below, for your convenience;

“Dividing the I’bople” Testimony’ January 20-28

Thanksgiving Testimony of Jehovah’s witnesses March 24-April 1 "Ths Nations Hope” Testimony Pkbiod June 30-July 8

The Kingdom Pbaise Pebiod September 29-Octoher 7 The Servant's Testimony Period November 24-December 2

Divisional Campaigns

Pour dates during the year have been selected for Divisional campaigns. These are:

December 30, 31 May 19, 20 March 3, 4 August 18,19 These dates are also specially noted on the Calendar of the Society.

Transcription Machines

One of the big features of this year’s witness work will be that carried on with the transcription machines. The Society has recently published a special bulletin entitled “Your Work with Transcription Machines”, a copy of which should have been given to each worker for careful study and consideration. The Lord has wonderfully blessed tills new instrument, which is a necessary part of every service organization. The experiences that the brethren are having with these machines and published in the Bulletin from time to time show that many people can be reached and a marvelous witness given. The advantage of the transcription machines is that you como into personal contact with people who are interested in the truth. Many of these will, undoubtedly, before the year is ended, join in singing forth the praises of the only true God. It is hoped that each month at least 100,090 people will attend the transcription meetings, and by the time all the companies are w-ell organized under the new system of advertising we feel sure that it will reach a quarter of a million monthly. For the present we hope that reports will be sent in regularly on the work done by all machines and that these reports will show a total attendance of 100,000. When we reach that we will set our goal higher.

When we look at the work set before us, which is a privilege, it looks as though it would never be accomplished ; but comparing it with results of previous years, and especially of last year, we can see that by the grace of Jehovah and working in harmony with his organization all things cau be accomplished. Summarizing the work for the year we find that this is the outline:

The Quota—22,500,000 testimonies Company Workers—14,000 Pioneers—1,850 Auxiliaries—850

Total Workers Reporting Monthly— 16,700 (We hope it will be many more. Think about that auxiliary work.)

Total Hours—5,000,000

ilfwwwwn Time for Different Divisions:

Pioneers—110 hours monthly Auxiliaries—55 hours monthly Company Workers—3 hours weekly Estimate on Books Placed—1,250,000 Booklets—9,250,000

Total Literature—10,500,000 (Can we place a million a month? We did in October.)

Testimony Periods—These are outlined on your Calendar.

Divisional Campaigns—Four are specified on your Calendar.

Transcription Machines—Follow- outline as set forth in the special bulletin “Your Work with Transcription Machines”.

If every company worker, pioneer and auxiliary keeps pace with the above schedule, his time should be well occupied, and that to the glory of the Lord.

Consignments of Dividing the People

Over 2,000,000 Will Be in the Hands of the Workers by January 20

Shipments of Dividing the People in English are now being made to the workers throughout the country.

Supplies of this booklet are being consigned to the companies and sharpshooters and are being shipped without waiting for the companies and sharpshooters to place their orders. In the cities where there are more than one company, the shipment is being made to the English service director, and all foreign-speaking and colored companies located in that city will get tlseir stock from him. However, the supplies for these various companies are all invoiced and charged to the accounts of the different companies although they are being shipped together. The service director should see that all get their consignments.

The supply of Dividing the People for pioneers and auxiliaries located with companies is also being sent along with the shipment made to the company service director, without waiting for these pioneers and auxiliaries to order. This means that tlie pioneers and auxiliaries who are located in company territory will have their supply of this booklet included in the shipment that is being made to the company and will get their booklets from the service director. The booklets are being invoiced to the various pioneers and auxiliaries, and copies of all these invoices are being sent to the director, with the bill of lading.

To the isolated pioneers and auxiliaries who are not located near the headquarters of any company has been sent a letter at the bottom of which is a special order blank. (No consignment has been shipped to or for those who receive this letter.) These brethren are to use this order blank at once, notifying us of the quantity of Dividing the People, Preparation, Escape to the Kingdom and other literature they wish to have, and should order at least 100 pounds in order to save In shipping charges. Whenever possible, we shall be glad to ship orders of several pioneers and auxiliaries together, and brethren who wish to have their orders shipped together should send in all their orders in the same envelope, with complete shipping instructions marked thereon.

The Calendar this year contains a beautiful picture in full color portraying in an excellent manner the year's text, “In his name shall the nations hope.” They are 25c each, or, in lots of 5 or more to one address, 20c each. Printed under the picture is a fine letter “To Uis Witnesses” from Brother Rutherford, which everyone should read and have on hand. Get your order in early for both the Year Book and the Calendar, as we have every reason to believe that they will not last long.

Much Opposition in Many Lands

Over l’/₂ Million Books and Booklets Placed

Ws are happy to give you Hie final results of the international witness given during Kingdom Proelanmtwn | Period, September oO-Octobei 8. Il was the first nine days of the Society’s new fiscal year, and what a £Vu_S start it was! The witness was given in 79 different countries, 1 572,631 books and booklets were left with the people (an increase of nearly a million over the corresponding period last year), 3,6b8,<69 testimonies were delivered, by 3L-518 faithful witnesses, in 433,399 hours of service, and a total or 1380,846 people obtained literature. The results obtained, by the Lord s grace, are even more remarkable when we consider that over 19,000 workers in Germany were not included in this report,

Many countries report a very lalge increase over Remnant’s Thanksgiving Period : notably, the British Isles, with an increase of over 90 0W booklets ; the countries of Northern Lu rope, which more than doubled Australia, with an increase of over 90 percent; Canada, Greece,, and other countries, with similar m-ereases. The total for the hinted States dropped by about 270,000 under the Remnant’s Thanksgiving Period, but this was doubtless due to the fact that just preceding this period a strenuous campaign had been carried on during the entire month of September with Men and Purgatory, Crimes and Gatom-ties, War or Peace, and o Jiei booklets, in addition to putting out over a million copies of the special Wto Aoe with Brother Rutheifoids Plainfield address. It is interesting to note that a year ago, for the entire world, a total of 37,411. woi keis reported, and this year, "nth Ge -many left out, the total number of , workers came to 34,518. This shows I that the Lord’s arm is not shortened, and the witness work is increasing in spite of this vieion.. attack by the Devil,.                    I

During this period the new booklet Escape to the Kingdom was distributed in all the Engllsh-spoakmg countries, the countries of Centiai Europe, and some of the other countries The special testimony written by the president of the ^S°n^Ct^ proved to be a great help for all of the anointed, and the brethren were very happy to go forward in unity with the same testimony, with the same booklet, at the same time, throughout the world. _

It is impossible to give you the many interesting experiences reported for this period, hut we set out a few which show the enthusiasm and zeal of Jehovah’s witnesses throughout the earth, and also how much opposition was encountered m giving tills testimony. In addition, we have tabulated the results for each individual country-, and we know it will thrill the hearts of the anointed and the people of good will ^re™^w this table and see the extent of the witness given in so many countries of the earth.

AUSTRALIA

‘•The enthusiasm of all workers and the wide publicity given to the ■ campaign have enabled us to eclipse all records. Our quota for Australia and New Zealand was 180,000 testimonies, 22,000 hours, 60,000 placements, and 80,000 pieces of literature. The figures for Australia alone exceed the quota for the whole of the territory. The suggested 15-per-cent increase over the Remnant’s Thanksgiving Period figures has been turned into an actual increase ot 1)0 percent in the literature placed.”

AUSTRIA

“In spite of greater difficulties' it was still possible to obtain such good results. One company reported that the witnesses were actually hunted in their territory-. One brother was three times arrested, two brothers twice, aud four brothers once. .In one case the police, at the instance of a priest, confiscated 85 booklets, saying ‘the picture on the cover dishonors the clergy because it shows a bishop in hell’. A pioneer reports that he had hardiy arrived in a vil

The response to the Pbotkst and Petition campaign is marvelous. The enthusiasm with which the public have availed themselves of the opportunity to sign the petition has exceeded our fondest expectations.

There are certain details relative to tliis work which will have to be taken care of locally aud before the petition forms are sent to this office. To this end we arc asking the cooperation of each one. Please do not forward them until all these details are completed. Some have sent in a few “Protest and Petition” forms filled out already. These we will fix up here if possible. If not, they will be returned for correction.

At the bottom of each sheet should he clearly shown the number of signers, the name of the city written out, the county the city is in, and the state. If this is done it will greatly aid us in segregating them here. Companies in the larger cities where there are more than one congressional district are being forwarded the boundaries of each district and requested to send in the names grouped hy districts. Please do this, as it is impossible for us, in this office, to make divisions within any one city. If you do not get any such request it means that this requirement is not necessary as far as your company is concerned. Where counties are divided into two or more congressional districts, the company, pioneer or sharpshooter holding the territory is being forwarded a list of the towns in each congressional district, with a request to see that the names from each congressional district are kept together and forwarded to this office in that manner, with each group clearly marked on the outside on a separate sheet of paper showing which district they are from.

'There is a special letter going forward to some company or pioneer in each congressional district, requesting special information. The brethren who receive this letter will also receive a complete outline of each congressional district in their territory, so that they may be familiar with the boundaries. Please see that the information requested । in this special letter is filled in and lage ‘when five priests in long brown robes and a girdle around the belly ■ appeared in my room and asked me who I was and where I had my license and papers’.”

BELGIUM

“The results in this country are better than the results of the Kingdom Week last year. The brethren were again very zealous.”

CANADA

"During the Kingdom Proclamation Period the special onslaught on Quebec city took place and a French Escape to the Kingdom booklet was left at practically every home in that city, in addition to other special literature used for that nr tack, As a result of this witness 30 of our brethren were arrested on a charge of being party to a seditious conspiracy. The preliminary trial lasted for three days. The witness given has been outstanding, and without

(Continued on page 4, column 1) forwarded to this office with the petitions for each congressional district. These petitions and information should be retained by each company, sharpshooter, pioneer aud auxiliary until the campaign is over, and then forwarded to this office so as to reach here by the 15th of January.

Where pioneers, auxiliaries, foreign and colored companies and sharpshooters are working in the same territory with an English service organization, please arrange to , turn all Protest ami Petition ^: forms over to the English service director, who will see to it that they are arranged according to the special instructions forwarded to him. Any service director who has not received special instructions regarding the segregation of names may forward the names for all the companies and sharpshooters, pioneers and auxiliaries in his territory according to the general instructions, but if he received special instructions from this office regarding subdivisions of Congressional Districts within his territory assignment he is to see to it that the petitions of all companies, pioneers, auxiliaries and sharpshooters in his territory are segregated as requested. There were 300 special letters sent out. The others did not get this letter, as it did not apply to them. Please, therefore, consider the above instruction carefully and follow out the suggestions. It will greatly aid in the work to be done with the Petitions, on January 15, 1934, at 117 Adams St.

The brethren should see to it that all signatures made on these forms are made with either ink or indelible pencil. We have had a few come to the office which were made with an ordinary lead pencil.

have already reported for this special period. That means that in January each pioneer, auxiliary', service director and sharpshooter will send us two reports, one for the “ ‘Dividing the People’ Testimony”, and another one for the entire month of January, including this special testimony period. Everyone who is on the list: should always report, so that our records will be complete.

. The Lord has shown that a dividing work is being done. ‘The man with the writer's inkhorn’ is going ‘through the city’ doing a marking-work. This must he done before the great slaughter work.
