BROTHER KNORR VISITS AGAIN

Prior to this attempt to silence the Witnesses and to hamper their preaching activities, the brothers were strengthened and prepared for their tests by a visit from Brothers Knorr and Henschel.

Four years after Brother Knorr’s first visit, so much expansion had taken place that it was time to make plans for more expansion. The number of publishers in Kingston had increased by 25 percent.

In 1954 Brother M. G. Henschel made a zone visit and recommended that an inspection be made to determine the structural soundness of the branch building. This was done, and the need for new branch headquarters was confirmed. Brother Knorr visited the following year and gave the go-ahead to secure land and make plans for the new branch office and missionary home. A suitable site was soon found at 41 Trafalgar Road in suburban Saint Andrew parish, and building plans were drawn and submitted to the building authority.
