The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, March 16, 1967—Page 5
Miss Judith Mazzola (left
center) and Miss Josephine
Schlott formerly of Newberry
have just completed a five-
month specialized course in
Bible instruction and mission
ary training at the Watchtower
Bible School of Gilead in New
York City. Miss Mazzola and
Miss Schlott as well as Rober
to Franceschetti (right center)
of Italy are shown with a fel
low student who portrayed an
ancient Israelite in a Biblical
drama on the student’s pro
gram, which followed the
graduation exercises March 12.
The course provided each
day for a half-day’s classroom
activity and a half-day’s prac
tical training. Academic stud
ies included a chapter-by-chap
ter study of the entire Bible,
the relation of world history
to the history of the Bible as
well as Bible-teaching techni
ques. A very practical feature
of their missionary training
was the intensive. instruction
given to every student in one
of the following languages:
Spanish, French, Portuguese,
Korean and Chinese. These
studies were shared by a
class of 103 selected ministers
of Jehovah’s Witnesses who
were gathered from 12 lands
around the world and who are
now equipped to take their
mission of peace to the 29
different lands to which they
are assigned.
S tudents were also given an
opportunity to study and par
ticipate in the United States
Branch’s supervision of its
5,314 congregations and 359
traveling ministrial supervisors
in addition to sharing in the
operation of the Society’s
printing plants. The entire stu
dent body participated in the
actual production of the year’s
output of 17,682,964 Bibles and
Bible study aids as well as
141,596,580 copies of the So
ciety’s two magazines, The
Watchtower and Awake!
“It was most impressive,”
Miss Mazzola said, “to observe
the force for peace that the
Bible exerted in our close as
sociation with so many dif
ferent nationalities and cul
tural backgrounds. We always
enjoyed mutual understanding
and peace with our fellow stu
dents and this emphasized to
me that the nations of the
world could peacefully coexist
if the teachings of the 'Bible
were only followed.” Miss Ma
zzola and Miss Schlott are
being sent to Columbia, South
America on special assignment.
Many Newberry County resid
ents will remember them for
their missionary activity thru-
out the county prior to their
course of missionary training
in New York.

my own savings account. Is it

ility pension taxable? I re
