Conference Held '
At Kincardine
There was an attendance of 435
persons at the main Bible lecture
"The Watch Tower Society in
God's Purpose" which climaxed the
three day conference held by Jer
hovah's Witnesses in the Kin-
cardine District High School this
past week-end,
Delegates assembled from 13
congregations for Bible instruction
and practical demonstration in
how it can be-used in miPisterial
activity and their personal lives,
A. V. Danley, district supervisor
of • the Watch Tower Bible and
Tract Society, the legal channel for
Jehovah's Witnesses, pointed out
in the main discourse Sunday
afternoon that the policy of the
Society rests on four basic premis-
es, That there is a Supreme Being,
Creator of heaven and earth named
Jehovah God; that the Bible .is His
inspired and infallible word; that
God has ever had a channel of
communication between Himself
and man; and that today the
Watch Tower Society is being used
as a legal servant of God's channel,
Mr, Murky further pointed out
"The purpose of Jehovah God
therefore calls for a Channel of
communication now that will serve
notice upon all his enemies that
God's war of Armageddon is im-
pending; otherwise when it strikes
they, will not know the reason
why." Showing the most important
work for God's people, he con-
tinued; "The channel is also needed
So as to warn all Men of geod-will
toward 'Cod so that they might
take a life preserving course even
as Noah and his family."
Now over 792,000 persons ih 179
lands are sharing in this preaching
work, devoting over 100 million
hears to Such activity to aid all
