witnesses gather
at convention
Many families from the
Clinton area were among
80,008 delegates who
packed out Montreal's
Olympic Park for the
finale of, the '-`Victorious
Faith" International
Convention of Jehovah's
Witnesses.
Local spokesman, Mr.
Walter Gardiner said
Frederick W. Franz,
President of the Watch
Tower Society spoke on
the subject: "Jesus
Christ -- Victorious King
With Whom Nations Must
Reckon".
Discussing the "social
environment" in society
today, Franz said things
are in a bad way. "We
might think of the day of
reckoning that is ap-
proaching because of the
decline in good =,morals
that is taking. place in all
lands," he said.
Sp aking of another
area of concern, the
arms race, Franz said
the United Nations has
offered no inducement for
slowing it down , and the
nations rely upon
military preparedness
for safety.
"But there is still
another sector of human
affairs that is due for a
reckoning," Franz said,
"a sector that may seem
to many of us to be an
untouchable thing, like
something sacrosanct...
It is religion!"
Franz said religion has
proved to be the , most
divisive force on earth.
"It has separated races,
nations, peoples, tribes
and even members of a
family," he said. "Thus it
has caused human
disunity. Differences of
religions have led to
bitter hatreds and
prejudices, sadly to
violent conflicts," he
continued,. "to feuds that
have lasted for centuries
down to now."
Pointing to Christen-
dom, Franz said "she has
been most outstanding in
this respect. Becapse of
hideous wars her 'realm
has been stained with
seas of human blood," he
said.
