True to his promise Claude Brown sent word to W. R. Brown in Sierra Leone about the wonderful results of his lectures in the Gold Coast. He also told of the desire of a number of interested persons to start classes for Bible study in Accra and Koforidua. Immediately Brother W. R. Brown arranged for Brother Obadiah Jamieson Benjamin to proceed to Accra.

Sometime in August of 1925 Claude Brown stopped in the Gold Coast on his return journey to Sierra Leone. How happy he was to see the interested people doing so well in Bible studies! He spent a few weeks with them, giving lectures in both Merry Villas and Palladium Cinema Hall. At one of these lectures he invited the willing ones to take a supply of the tract Ecclesiastics Indicted and distribute them free to anyone who was willing to have a copy. Almost all in the audience rushed to get copies. Beginning from the gates of the hall, they distributed them all over the city, some actually going from house to house with the tracts. Thus in 1925, for the first time, the natives of the Gold Coast were aided to have a share in the house-to-house distribution of the message in printed form. It is worthy of note that this was the tract containing the resolution connected with the third trumpet blast of judgment messages against false religion, released at the Columbus, Ohio, U.S.A., convention July 20-27, 1924.
