through to them. (2 Cor. 44) Je- hovah reads the hearts of man- kind and does not want practic- ers of unrighteousness among his people.

When we follow Jehovah's w@ys and enjoy spiritual light, we can reflect it to others. If they recognize through our con- duct that we "possess the light of life," then they too may be motivated to make needed changes so as to become light bearers.-John 8:12.

6'By letting our light shine, we bring praise to our Creator and help sincere ones get to know him and gain the hope of ever- lasting life. (1 Pet. 2:12) Since we have the light, let us use it to help others see the way out of spiritual darkness and pro- duce the works that belong to the light.

(Deut. 31:12) In ancieqt times "all intelligent enough to listenn among God's people had to be attentive ds the Law was read to them. (Neh. 8:l-3) If parents are in- volved in the meetings and pay close attention, their children are likely to do the same. It is not wise to bring toys or col- oring books to keep children amused. Unnecessary trips to the restroom also interfere with their listening. Since "foolish- ness is tied up with the heart of a boy," parents should put forth earnest effort to see that their children sit still and listen at meetings.-Prov. 22:15.

By being good listeners, we prove that 'we are truly wise and want to "take in more instruc- . tionan-Prov. 1:5.

Where interest is found on return visits, subscriptions may be offered. Offer the Knowledge book or Require brochure, with a view to starting home Bible studies.

Please note that the Memorial for the year 2002 will be on Thurs- day, March 28, after sundown and not on Friday, March 22, as indicat- ed at the end of the 2001 Cdendar. This advance notice is given so that brothers may make necessary res- ervations or contracts for available halls when there are several congre- gations using the Kingdom Hall and other facilities must be found. The elders should have an agreement with the management ensuring that there will be no disturbances from other activities in the building so that the Memorial observance can proceed in a peaceful and orderly manner. Because of the importance of the occasion, in assigning a Me- morial speaker, the body of elders should select one of the more qual- ifled elders instead of simply tak- ing turns or using the $ame broth- er every year. An exception will be made if there is a capable elder of the anointed who can give the taik. AU baptized publishers present

at the Service Meeting the week of January 8 may obtain the Advance Medical DirectivelReleaSe card and the Identity Card for their children.

Starting in February, and no lat- er than March 4, the new public talk for circuit overseers will be "Judgment Day-A Time of Fear or Hope?"

Congregations should make con- venient arrangements to observe the Memorial this year on Sunday,

the talk may start.earlier, the pass- ing of the emblems should not begin until @er s u m . Cheek with lo- cal sources to determine when sun- down occurs in your area. Since no meetings other than those for fleld service are to be held on that day, appropriate adjustments should be made for the Watchtower Study to be conducted at another time. Cir- cuit overseers will need to adjust their meeting schedule for the week according to local circumstances. Although it is desirable for each congregation to hold its own Me- morial observance, this may not al- ways be possible. Where a number of congregations normally use the same Kingdom Hall, perhaps one or more congregations can obtain the use of another facility for that eve- ning. Where possible, we would sug- gest a minimum of 40 minutes be- tween the programs so that all rnay beneflt fully from the occasion, a l ~ lowing time to meet visitors and en- courage newly interested ones. Con- sideration should also be given to tratflc conditions and parking, in- cluding the dropping off and picking up of passengers. The body of elders should decide what arrangements would be best locally.

The special public talk for the 2001 Memorial season will be gfv- en on Sunday, April 1. The subject of the talk will be "Who Can Be Saved?" An outline will be provided. Those congregations having thevis- it of the circuit overseer, a circuit assembly, or a special assembly day that weekend will have the special talk the week of April 9. No congre- gation should have the special talk before April 1, 2001.

Beginning with the January 1, 2001, issue, The Watchtower will be available in Kaonde and Seychelles Creole as monthly editions and in Silozi as a semimonthly edition.

Beginning with the January 8, 2001, issue, Awake! will be available in Bulgarian and Urdu as monthly editions.

Do the neighbors consider our house and yard to be clean and well kept? Do our workmates and schoolmates view us as punc- tual and diligent? Will others find our appearance modest and respectful?' Our fine works can make the worship of Jehovah more appealing to others.

Peter warned that Chris- tians would be subject to de- rision. (1 Pet. 4:4) We must be sure that our conduct is not the cause of negative talk. (1 Pet. 2:12) If our daily works glori- fy the God whom we worship, then we will be like lamps held high, beckoning others to the safe shelter that Jehovah pro- vides.-Matt. 5:14-16.

knew that by working together they would learn from and encourage each other. The same is true in telephone witnessing. By working as partners, you can learn from each other, discuss your results, and offer sugges- tions for the next conversation. Even during a phone call, you can help each other locate appropriate information.

lo To promote clear thinking and concen- tration, sit where you can lay your witness- ing materials-Bible, Reasoning book, Re- quire brochure, magazines, and so forth-in front of you. Write out some presentations, and have them where you can see them. Be prepared to keep accurate and complete rec- ords, including the date and time of day so that you will know when to follow up. the in- terest found.

l1 People are often cautious when hear- ing an unfamiliar voice on the phone. So be warm, friendly, and tactful. The household- er has only the sound of your voice to de- termine your character and sincerity. Relax and speak from your heart. Speak slowly and clearly and with sufficient volume to be heard. Allow the householder opportunity to speak. Use your full name, and mention that you live in the community. We do not want people to think that we are telemarketers. Rather than saying that you are calling all the residents in a particular building or com- plex, personalize your call.

la Telephone Presentations: Many of the introductions on pages 9-15 of the Reasoning book can be adapted to telephone witness- ing. You might say: "I'm calling you on the phone because I'm unable to come and see you personally. The purpose of my call is to ask your opinion on a very interesting ques- tion." Then state the question.

l3 The first presentation under the head- ing "Crime/Safety" could be used this way: "Hello. My name is - I live in the commu- nity. I want to assure you that I am not sell- ing anything or taking a survey. I am calling because of my concern about the matter of personal safety. There is a lot of crime around us, and it afPects our lives. Do you think the time will come when all people will be able to walk on the street at night and feel safe? [Allow for response.] Let me read what God has ~romised to do."

l4 Using the df )pkoach to offer Bible studies over the phone has had good results. The study may be demonstrated in a few minutes. Offer to visit the individual at his home to continue the study, or if the person is reluctant, offer to continue the study by phone on another day.

l5 When you close a conversation, have in mind something that will lead to your visit- ing the person at his home or to mailing a piece of literature. If the person hesitates to give you his address, offer to phone again. It may take several calls before he feels com- fortable enough to invite you to his home.

l6 Taking the Inltlative.: A 15-year-old sis- ter started her morning service with a phone call. She talked to awoman who agreed to ac- cept a Knowledge book. When the sister de- livered the book to the home, the woman wanted to know how the youth knew her phone number, since it was unlisted. The sister had dialed it by mistake! The woman welcomed a study and is now an unbaptized publisher.

A sister signed out a telephone territory but held off working it for three weeks be- cause of fear. What gave her the courage to start? She remembered the January 22,1997, Awake! article entitled "When I Am Weak, Then I Am Powerful." It was about a Witness who preaches by telephone in spite of phys- ical limitations. The sister said: "I prayed to Jehovah and asked for strength. I asked him to give me the proper words to give my pre- sentation." Wh* was the result of her first day of telephone witnessing? She reports: "Jehovah answered my prayer. The people gave me their attention, and I arranged for a return visit." Later her telephone witnessing resulted in a Bible study. She concludes: "Je- hovah has taught me once more to trust in him and not in myself."-Prov. 3:5.

l8 Presenting the truth by telephone has become a successful method of preaching the good news. Prepare well, and participate wholeheartedly. Do not become discouraged if a favorable response is not forthcoming on the first few tries. Pray for Jehovah's direc- tion, and compare notes with others who are preaching in this exciting way. with a desire to miss no one in our territory, may we thor- oughly carry out our ministry with urgency. -Rom. 10:13, 14.

Let Us All Honor Jehovah and His Son How All Who Attend the Memorial on April 8 Can Benefit More Fully

Who today are given special honor? Those whose performances are highly regarded by the world. In most cases, however, their deeds are soon forgotten. But what about deeds that truly bene- fit all mankind? The greatest of these will receive our closest attention as we observe the Lord's Eve- ning Meal after sundown on April 8,2001.

Who is worthy of the highest honor? The Bible answers: "You are worthy, Jehovah, . . . to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things." (Rev. 4:ll) As the Creator, Jehovah is the Sovereign Ruler of the universe. His worthiness to be honored will never cease! -1 Tim. 1:17.

Jesus Christ, God's Son, performed worthy deeds that will bring endless blessings to rnan- kind. He perfectly imitated his Father. (John 5:19) Nis flawless obedience and faithful service made him "worthy to receive the power and the riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing." (Rev. 5:12) His Father honored him by enthroning him as King. (Ps. 2%-8) As for us, we will have the opportunity to honor both the Fa- ther and the Son as we observe the Lord's Evening Meal on April 8,2001.

Sad to say, relatively few in human history have rendered Jehovah and his Son the honor that is due. At times, even God's ancient people, the Is- raelites, rendered only token service to Jehovah. This was blatantly disrespectful. (Ivlal. 1:6) Proper respect demands faithful obedience based on love and on appreciation for all that Jehovah and his Son have done for us. Giving such honor and re- spect means that we show godly fear and rever- ence, acknowledging Jehovah and Jesus in all our ways. The Christian congregation endeavors to teach and assist others to do the same.

A Speclal Ooeaslon to Show Honor; The ob- servance of the Memorial is the most significant gathering of Jehovah's people each-. Everyone who has a desire to serve and honor ~ehdvah should be present. (Luke 22:19) We anticipate that

' in addition to the 6 million active Witnesses, inter- ested ones will swell the attendance to more than 14 million. What a fine omortunity to honor our heavenly Father! While the observance focuses on Jesus, the honor and respect shown for what'he

1

accomplished glorifies the Father, who sent him. -John 5~23.

What can we do to support this special occa- sion? We can help newly interested ones to bene- fit fully. Urge them to attend, and where needed, offer kindly assistance to help them get there. Ex- plain the purpose of the Idiscourse. Introduce them to- others. What they see and hear could movethem to seek to unitewithus in honoring Je- hovah.

?DO not underestimate the impact of the pro- gram. A university studexit had this reaction: "I have attended Communion many times in my church, but this is quite Merent. I see that this is just likq what the Bible says, and I think you have the truth." He began to attend meetings regularly and was soon baptized.

8Help New Ones Make Progress: Take note of the new ones who attend the Memorial, and visit them soon after to- review the refreshing things they learned and observed. Make them aware of the other meetings, where they can add to their Bible knowledge. A review of chapter 17 of the K m l e d g e book, "Find Security Among God's People," will show them the wide range of spiritu- al provisions offered by the congregation, whieh are readily available to them. Arrange for them to view the video Our Whole Association qf Brothers so that they can see the unity, joy, and zeal of Je- hovah's people with their own eyes!

It is important that interested ones learn how they can personally show honor and respect for Jehovap. Explain that heartfelt prayer pleases Je- hovah and is a constant source of spiritual re- freshment. (1 John 5:14) Using lessons 8 through 12 in the Require brochure, describe the kind of conddct that honors Jehovah. By discussing whdt is stated in the brochbre Jehovah's Wit- nesses-Who Are They? What Do They Believe?, pages 30-1, encourage new ones to think about the possibility of honoring Jehovah by personally sharing in the preaching work.

Appreciation for JesW sacrifice and for our privilege to serve as his'disciples honors the Fa- ther and brings blessings to others. Jesus prom- ised: "If anyone would minister to me, the Father will honor him."-John 12:26.

~he'weekg surrounding the Memorial are atime of reflection for Jehovqs people. This is a time to ponder what .was accomplished by Christ's death and to contemplate our Cbd-given hope made possible by Jesus' shed bload As you think back to April 19th of last year, what comes to your mind? Can you re- member the faces you saw on that spring evening? the rich, spiritual atmosphere at the Memorial? the serious Bibqcal discussion and heartfelt prayers? Perhaps you resolved to demonstrate more fully the depth of your gratitude for the love shown to you by ~eho- vah and Jeqxs. How does such mecjita.tion af-: fee$ you now?

8 It i8 clear that Je- hovah's people express thankfulness that goes well beyond words. (Col. 3;15,17) Last April, par- ticularly, we reached out to show our ap- preciation for Jehovah's provis'ions for salvation by expending ourselves in the Christian minis- . try. Auxiliary pioneers numbere& into the thousands, exceeding the previom peak in

. the contiguous United States br 2T.percent. Their effort, along with that of mother King- .dom proclairners, resulted in new peaks in hours, magazine placements, and return iris- its. Our, joy was enhanced by $eeingrfhou- sands of new Bible studies Stn&f06d and a new peak attendance at the Mergodal!

. Indeed, the certdnty of our hope st@ us to action. ,It is just as the apostle Paul wrote: "To this end we are working hard and exert- ing ourselves, because we have ~ested our hope on a living God, who ii a Savior of all sorts of men, especially of faithful ones." -1 ~ h . 410.

TTW Memorial season, how will you dem- onstrate your faith in Jehovah's provisions for life? Last April we saw the second high- est number of Kingdom proclaimers ever re-

:, eprded in the United Slates. Can we exceed

Your child? A Bible student?

Someone who has

that nyrnber this ~ p r i l ? It is well within our reach. But every publisher, baptized and un- baptized, will need to participate. Many new ones may also qualify to take part. Thus, as you make plans to work.hard and exert your- self this ,April, consider ways in which you can stimulate'others, including newer and less ex- perienced ones, to accompany you.

Helping Some to Resume Their Actlvlty: If you know some who have not been out in field service for a month or'two, perhaps you could encourage them and invite them to ac- company you in the field service. If some in the congregation have become inactive, the

elders will make a spe- cial effort to visit them and encourage them to start again in April.

All of us must con- tinue asking for Jeho- vah's spirit to strength- en us in his service. (Luke 11:13) What must we do to receive that spirit? Read God's in- spired Word. (2 Tim. 3:

16,17) We must also "hear what the, spirit says to the congregations" by being in attendance at all five weekly meetings. (Rev. 3%) Now is an opportune time to help irregular and in- active ones improve in their study habits and establish constancy in their meeting atten- dance. (Ps. 50:23) We do this while keeping close watch on our own spiritual welfare. Yet, something else is required.

7The apbstle Peter explained that .God gives his holy spirit "to those obeying him as ruler." (Acts 5:32) Such obedience includes heedirig the ,order "to preach to the people and to give a thorbugh witness." (Acts 1:B; 10: 42) Thus, although it, is true that we need God's spirit to strengthen us to preach, it is also true that as we begin to demonstrate our desire $0 please Jehovah, he helns us even fur- ther. May we necner'mlnlmize the importance of taking those initial steps of willing obedi- ence! I

. Helping Young Ones: parents, have you keen evidence that your children want to talk to others about 'the truth? Have they been ac- companying you in field service? Are they ex- emplary in their conduct? If so, why hesitate? Approach one of the members of the Congre- gation Service Committee, and see whether your child is qualified to be counted as a pub- lisher this April. (See the Our Ministry book, pages 99-100.) Recognize that your children can contribute in a mighty way to the shout of praise to Jehovah this Memorial season. -Matt. 21:15, 16.

A Christian mother in Georgia, U.S.A., al- ways encouraged her young daughter to talk to others about Jehovah. Last year, as the girl was engaging in the ministry with her moth- er, she placed a Require brochure with a man and briefly explained the table of contents. He asked her: "How old are you?" She said: "Sev- en." The man was surprised to see her give such a meaningful presentation. It so hap- pened that he had been raised around the truth but had never taken it seriously as a way of life. Soon, a Bible study was beingcon- ducted with the man, his wife, and his daugh- ter.

lo Many young ones are already publishers, and we enjoy their company as they work along with us in service. These youths can motivate and encourage others their own age. But April is also a fitting time for individual families to strengthen their bonds and build spirituality by working together in sacred service. Family heads should take the lead in this.-Prov. 24:27.

l1 Helping New Ones: How about the new ones with whom you are studying the Bible? Might they contribute to the special effort this April? Perhaps they expressed a desire to tell others what they were learning as you covered chapter 2, paragraph 22, or chap- ter 11, paragraph 14, in the Knowledge book. If you are nearing the end of the book, pre- pare to discuss this matter plainly as you cover chapter 18, paragraph 8, which states: "Probably you are eager to tell your relatives, friends, and others what you are learning. In' fact, you may already have been doing this, even as Jesus shared the good news with oth- ers in informal settings. (Luke 10:38,39; John 46-15) Now you may want to do more." Is'this true of those with whom you are studying?

12Does your student believe the Word of God? Has he been applying Bible principles? Has he brought his life into harmony with di- vine standards? Has he been attending con- gregation meetings? Does he want to serve Jehovah God? Then why not encourage him to talk with the elders so that they can deter- mine whether he qualifies to become an un- baptized publisher and work along with you in April? (See Our Ministry book, pages 97-9.) In this way he can begin to experience first- ' h h d how Jehovah's organization will support him in his efforts to serve Jehovah.

l3 True, some students progress faster than others. Thus, in harmony with the direc- tion in the June 2000 Our Kingdom Minis- try, page 4, paragraphs 5-6, many have been studying a second book with people who manifested interest initially but who needed additional help to become actively associat- ed. We never give up hope that these honest- hearted ones will become genuine disciples of Christ, "whether in a short time or in a long time." (Acts 26:29) Yet, if the number of months that you have been studying with such individuals is best described as "a long time," might this Memorial season be a good opportunity for your student to begin dem- onstrating the depth of his appreciation for Christ's ransom?

l4 How to Help Them Share: We learn much about helping qualified ones to start out in the ministry by examining how Jesus trained others. He did not just find a crowd and tell his apostles to start talking. He first empha-, sized the need for the preaching work, en- couraged a prayerful attitude, and then gave them three basic provisions: a partner, a ter- ritory assignment, and a message. (Matt. 9: 35-38; 10:5-7; Mark 6:7; Luke 9:2,6) You can do the same. Whether you will be helping your own child, a new student, or someone who has not reported any activity for a while, it would be appropriate to make a special effort to pursue the following .objectives.

l5 Highlight the Meed: Impress upon the person the importance of the preaching work. Be cheerful about it. Relate experienc- es that show what the congregation is accom- plishing in the ministry. Display the spirit Je- sus expressed at Matthew 9:36-38. Encourage the prospective publisher or the inactive one

new person who attended. If you invited new ones, you have a special responsibility. Before they leave, make sure they know about the other meetings at the Kingdam Hall. Mention the title of the next public talk. Let them know the location and time of the Congrega- tion Book Study nearest their home. Later, supply them with a copy of the Creator book, and let them know that the discussion for the week of April 30 is "What Can You Learn About the Creator From a Book?' Explain why the whole congregation is planning to attend a nearby district convention that is Scheduled in the near future.

a4 Arrange for a cordial visit at their home. Make sure they have copies of the Require brochure and the.,Knowledge book, which ac- quaint them with the fundamentd teachings of the Bible. If they are not studying already, offer them a Bible study. Suggest +at they read the brochure Jehovah's Witnesses-.Who Are They? What Do They Belime?, which pre- sents a clear picture of how we function as an organization. 1nvke them to view our videos, 'such as Our Whole Association of Brothers. Arrange for them to meet others in the con- gregation. In the coming months, keep in touch with new ones; invite them to attend the meetings when the circuit overseer visits or when you have a circuit assembly or spe- cial assembly day. Give them every opportu- nity to show themselves "rightly disposed for everlasting life9'!-Acts 13:48.

25 What the Elders Can Do: The success of the intensified effort in the ministry this April will depend, in large measure, on the el- ders. If you are a book study conductor, make . a list of things that you can do to help every: one in your book study group participate in the special activities. Are there any assigned to your group'who are young, new, irregular, or inactive? Check to see whether the par- ents, pioneers, or other publishers have taken the initiative to help them. Provide whatever personal assistance you yourself can offer. One sister who had been irregular in field ser- vice for two years spent more than 50 hours in the ministry last April. What made the dif- ference for her? She said that it was the up- building shepherding calls made by the el- ders.

Elders and ministerial servants should cooperate to ensure that there is enough ter-

ritory, magazines, and literature for the up coming month. Can additional meetings fa field service be arranged? If so, make the spe cial arrangements known. Above all, in your public and private prayers, ask for Jehovah% blessing on our month of heightened King- dom activity.-Rom. 15:30,31; 2 Thess. 3:l.

27Last April in a congregation in North Carolina, the elders really encouraged in- creased activity in the ministry. At the meet- ings each week, they invited the publishers to consider prayerfully whether they could en- roll as auxiliary pioneers. At every opportu- nity, all in the servant body talked enthusias- tically about making April the best month ever. As a result, 58 percent of the publishers, including all the elders and ministerial ser- vants, pioneered that month!

28 The Joy of Having a Full Share: What are the blessings of "working hard and exerting o~rselves'~ in the ministry? (1 Tim. 4:lO) Re- garding their congregation's zealous activity last April, the above-mentioned elders wrote: "The brothers and sisters often speak about how much more love and closeness they feel toward one another since they began working more in the field ministry."

29 A young brother with limited mobility longed to have a share in the special activity last April. By m e w of careful planning and with the help of his mother and spiritual brothers and sisters, he enjoyed a productive month as an auxiliary pioneer. How did he feel about the experience? He said: "For the first time in my life, I felt like an able-bodied man."

30 There is no doubt that Jehovah blesses richly those who highly esteem their privilege of talking about his kingship. (Ps. 145:11,12) As we commemorate our Lord's death, we un- ' derstand that the blessinq for godly devotion will be even more abundant in the future. The apostle Paul keenly longed for the reward of eternal life. Yet, he knew that this was not . something for which he could just sit back and hope. He wrote: "To this end I am indeed working hard, exertingayself in accordance ivith the operation of him and which is at .' work in me with power." (Col. 1:29) Jehovah, through Jesus, made Paul powerful to accom- plish a lifesaving miniqtry, and He can do the same for us today. Will that be your personal experience this April?
