1931
The
WATCH
TOWER
235
was
unusual
for
Paris.
The
Society
maintains
an
office
in
Paris,
and
for
several
days
following
a
number
of
persons
called
at
this
office
to
get
more
books.
One
gentleman
drove
a
long
distance
in
a
taxicab,
of
course
paying
his
taxicab
fare,
which
cost
him
more
than
all
the
books,
and
he
bought
all
the
books
the
Society
has
in
French.
A
week
later,
when
some
had
had
time
to
read
their
books,
three
different
persons
called
at
the
office
and,
expressing
their
joy
in
what
they
had
learned,
asked
for
permission
to
gct
into
the
field
and
put
the
books
out
also.
In
addition
to
the
public
meeting
the
president
of
the
Society
delivered
a
lecture
over
the
VITUS
radio
station,
which
was
delivered
first
in
English
and
then
by
a
French
speaker
in
the
French
language.
Ten
days
later
the
president
of
the
Society
delivered
another
radio
lecture
over
the
same
station.
The
radio
is
creat
ing
much
interest
in
and
about
Paris,
and
the
Lord
has
put
his
blessing
upon
this
effort
to
spread
the
truth.
The
discourses
at
the
convention
were
along
lines
set
forth
in
The
Watch
Tower
concerning
the
kingdom
interests
and
the
great
privilege
now
of
proclaiming
the
truth
and
making
known
Jehovah's
name.
It
would
be
difficult
to
imagine
how
this
number
of
people
could
be
brought
together
that
would
be
more
joyful
in
the
Lord
than
those
who
attended.
An
enthusiastic
spirit
permeated
the
convention
during
the
entire
period,
and
when
it
was
concluded
everyone
was
heard
to
say:
"Surely
this
is
the
best
convention
yet";
and
of
course
it
was
the
best
ever
held
in
Paris,
and
probably
no
better
had
been
held
anywhere
else.
The
time
seems
now
certain
for
the
widening
of
the
work
in
France.
A
number
of
colporteurs
have
gone
into
France
and
Belgium,
and
more
are
making
arrangements
to
enter
the
service.
The
Lord
thus
indicates
to
his
people
that
the
time
has
come
to
give
a
strenuous
testimony
throughout
France,
and
it
is
believed
that
this
will
result
in
much
good
in
awakening
the
people
to
their
privileges
and
in
encouraging
some
of
good
will
to
take
their
stand
on
the
side
of
Jehovah
and
the
king
dom.
The
Society
expresses
its
deep
gratitude
to
Je
hovah
for
arranging
this
convention
in
France.
His
name
has
been
defamed
there
by
the
clergy
and
there
must
be
many
people
of
good
will
who
would
love
to
know
the
truth
concerning
God
and
his
gracious
pro
vision
for
mankind.
Let
those
who
are
in
France
be
encouraged
to
press
on
with
the
work
now.
A
new
location
for
the
office
has
been
found
where
there
is
more
room,
and
better
light.
In
addition
there
to
the
Lord
has
provided
a
home
in
which
the
office
force
can
live
reasonably
and
comfortably
as
one
family
and
also
provide
some
shelter
for
a
few
colpor
teurs
that
will
be
kept
constantly
in
the
city
of
Paris.
GERMANY
A
three-day
convention
had
been
arranged
at
Berlin,
Germany,
for
:May
30
to
June
1.
Because
of
the
finan-
cial
stress
in
the
land
and
much
unemployment,
and
:for
the
further
reason
that
many
of
the
German
brethren
had
attended
the
Paris
convention,
it
was
not
expected
there
would
be
such
a
great
attendance
at
Berlin.
However,
when
the
Lord's
people
have
a
chance
to
come
together
those
who
really
love
him
make
every
effort
to
get
together.
The
result
was
that
at
Berlin
fully
10,000
attended
the
convention.
It
was
the
most
inspiring
scene.
The
convention
was
held
in
the
great
Sports
Palace
hall.
Public
address
system
was
installed
so
that
everyone
could
easily
hear.
The
music
was
led
by
an
orchestra
of
more
than
100
pieces,
and
the
son~s
sung
by
that
great
audience
showed
a
fervor
and
devotion
to
God
and
to
his
kingdom.
The
discourses
were
inspiring
and
helpful
and
in
line
with
present
truth.
The
attention
was
profound
and
the
brethren
gave
evidence
of
the
fact
that
they
were
deeply
appreciating
the
truth.
This
was
more
fully
demonstrated
in
their
response
to
calls
for
the
field
service.
On
service
day
fully
8,000
took
part
in
the
field
service.
The
meeting
for
the
public
was
held
on
Monday
night
in
the
same
great
hall
and
after
the
convention
had
adjourned.
By
that
time
fully
half-of
the
brethren
were
compelled
to
return
to
their
homes,
leaving
ap
proximately
5,000
at
the
convention.
The
total
number
attending
the
public
meeting,
however,
was
16,000.
The
great
hall
was
packed
out
and
another
hall
con
nected
by
wire
and
voice
amplifiers
was
also
filled.
The
public
audience
frequently
manifested
its
approv
al
of
the
rebuke
administered
to
the
clergy
for
deceiv
ing
the
people
and
expressed
their
joyful
approval
of
the
opportunity
that
awaits
them
for
the
blessings
of
the
Lord
in
the
kingdom.
Nearly
12,000
books
and
booklets
were
disposed
of
at
this
meeting.
The
final
checking
up
of
the
books
and
booklets
disposed
of
during
the
convention
and
public
meeting
was
a
grand
total
of
146,505.
This
is
a
remarkable
result
in
view
of
the
conditions
that
now
exist
in
that
land.
The
German
brethren
are
in
good
spirit
and
are
pressing
the
battle
to
the
gate,
rejoicing
in
their
privileges
to
be
witnesses
to
the
name
of
Jehovah.
ENGLAND
A
convention
of
the
British
brethren
was
held
at
Alexandra
Palace,
beginning
Friday
night
June
12
and
concluding
Tuesday
afternoon
June
16.
The
con·
vention
was
attended
by
approximately
3,500
of
the
consecrated.
Never
before
at
a
convention
hetd
in
this
land
was
there
so
much
unity
of
spirit
of
everyone
present,
and
it
could
not
have
been
better
anywhere
else.
The
brethren
show
a
joyful
determination
to
press
on
with
the
work,
and
the
convention
here
was
without
a
question
of
doubt
a
wonderful
stimulus
and
blessing
to
the
brethren.
The
convention
was
addressed
by
the
president
of
the
Society
and
a
number
of
the
other
brethren,
but
the
best
feature
of
the
entire
con
vention
was
the
field
service
work,
in
which

The Society expresses its deep gratitude to Jehovah for arranging this convention in France. His name has been defamed there by the clergy and there must be many people of good will who would love to know the truth concerning God and his gracious provision for mankind. Let those who are in France be encouraged to press on with the work now. A new location for the office has been found where there is more room, and better light. In addition thereto the Lord has provided a home in which the office force can live reasonably and comfortably as one family and also provide some shelter for a few colporteurs that will be kept constantly in the city of Paris, GERMANY A three-day convention had been arranged at Berlin, Germany, for May 30 to June 1. Because of the finan Te WATCH TOWER 235 cial stress in the land and much unemployment, and for the further reason that many of the German brethren had attended the Paris convention, it was not expected there would be such a great attendance at Berlin.
