Greetings

o

you

Christians from

scattered

residences in Asia, Europe, Africa,

North

and

South

America

and

the

great and

small islands

of

the

sea

who have

journeyed to this assembly, may Jehovah's

undeserved

kindness and

peace be increased.

While

all

of us are most joyful at

being

together in

assembly,

still we

are

mindfu

of our many

brothers

and

sisters

who have been unable

to ioin

us

here

in

New

York at this

marvelous

Divine Will International Assembly

of

Jehovah's Witnesses.

Our

love

reaches

out to

every

one of them, and

our prayers ascend

to

our

gracious

God

to

bless

them

nonetheless.

May

it

be Jehovah's will that

fhrough

our being

here

we shall be able to take the

ioy, gladness and warm f e l o ~ N s h i p of this

assembly

back to

our

brothers,

along with the abundant spiritual food that

we

are confident Jehovah

will

shower upon

us to overAov1ing. As

delegates

at this

assembly

we must

all

feel

our responsibility in

this

regard.

What a

pleasure

it will be for

you

delegates to talk soon to

our

brothers around the world about the good-

ness

of Jehovah

We are

grateful,

too, for the

many labors

of love already

expressed by

willing

workers

in

prepara tion

for this glorious assembly, and we rejoice to

see

the

spirit

of

Jehovah operating through his Son, Jesus Christ

upon

all

his

willing

slaves.

Together, all of

us

are determined by

Jehovah's

unde

served

kindness to make the good news

of

Jehovah's

kingdom

known in

all

the inhabited earth and

to make this

assembly

a

praise

to

the most

holy

name

of

Jehovah, our

God.

o all of

you

present I

extend

a

hearty welcome

and transmit

the warm

love from Jehovah's witnesses from all

around the

world.

Together our

prayers

continue to be that the divine will may

come

to pass at this

assembly

to the

honor o f

Jehovah's

great name and to

the

blessing

of

his

faithful people.

Your

brother,

FIEL

SERVICE

Every

publisher

attending

the Divine Will

International

Assembly of Jehovah s Witnesses

will want to engage in field service.

In

addition

to

talking about the

good

news to persons en

route to New York and

on

your return

trip,

you

should spend some time in the service while in

the convention city. Then be sure

to turn

your

report

in to

your

home congregation. To

facili

tate field service while in

New York it

will not

be necessary to

come

to either of

the

stadiums

in the morning to

obtain

territory if you do not

wish to

do so. There will be, however, a

morn

ing service at the stadiums and you will be

able


30/37

to obtain territory and literature. But to save

time, it is suggested

that

you

get

territory

and

literature

at the

nearest Kingdom Hall

used

as

a service center. On your room

assignment card

you will notice a

territory

number. The number

has

prefix

letters. These

will

identify the

King

dom Hall nearest

your

room. Look through

the

tabulation below

and

you will find

the

address

of your nearest field service center. (The sub

way station

is

shown in

parentheses.)
