JEHOVAH WITNESSES WILL NOT MEET Meetings will not be conduct ed in the local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses this week according to Timothy L. Brooks, presiding minister. The Witnesses will be in Anderson, for a three-day Bible education assembly. “One of the reason assem blies like this are held,” Brooks said, “is to enable dedicated Christian men, women and chil dren to gain knowledge and in formation to be able to more successfully fulfill their minis try.” The Bible training sessions will begin Friday evening, Sep tember 12 with the keynote ad dress by the assembly’s gener al chairman, Joseph Saia, on the theme “Right Kind of Min isters” (Matt. 7:29) Saturday’s program will highlight an or dination ceremony of new min isters and the featured talk, “True Worship Versus False”, will be delivered at 3 p.m. on Sunday. Briefly reviewing the need for true worship in men’s affairs Mr. Brooks said that mankind’s hostility for law and order has reached world wide proportion and that this is clear evidence of an abandonment of Bible principles. “Soon God will in tervene and then an answer will have to come to the Lord’s Prayer’ where it says, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in hea ven,” he said.
