Witnesses plan
Aiken trip
The Newberry Missionary
Group of Jehovah’s Witnesses
is busy arranging for transpor
tation, living expenses and var
ious assignments for a Watch-
tower - sponsored assembly in
Aiken August 30-September 1
to improve their ministry.
Eddie Stewart, presiding min
ister of the local group, will
head the delegation, which will
be traveling by car. Stewart
said that the gathering will be,
“not a revival, but a giant
three day Bible class extend
ing the training received
through five weekly meeting. 1
at the local Kingdom Hall.”
Response from the announce
ment recently made by Stewarl
showed that nearly all members
are included in plans to join
the expected 800 persons from
18 South Carolina and Georgia
cities.
The local group attended a
similiar gathering in Columbia
in February which over 1000
persons attended. A larger
convention was attended by the
group in Greenville last month
with a peak attendance of 9,528
“Although the Greenville as
sembly had a program of in
structive discourses, demonstra
tions and dramas on Biblical
events and principles,” said
Stewart, “we still need the
smaller gatherings like the om
scheduled for Aiken in order to
apply locally the things learn
ed.”
The principal address is
scheduled for Sunday, Septem
ber 1, when C. G. Thompson,
a district supervisor, speaks on
the subject, “God’s Way Is
Love.” The site is Schofield
High School.
