Late in 1954 Brother Knorr visited once again, giving lectures in theaters at Mazatenango, Quezaltenango and the capital. During the lecture at Mazatenango a power drain in late afternoon rendered the sound system ineffective, but Brother Knorr finished his talk without it. In Quezaltenango the Municipal Theater, given free, was crowded with over 400 persons. In the audience was the wife of Presbyterian leader Pablo Burgess, who had once opposed Brother Flores and who had distributed the tract against “Russellism.”

Though Brother Knorr flew to Mazatenango, the trip from there was not an easy one. Continuing with the missionaries by car over narrow, dusty, winding mountain roads, the Society’s president once again showed his desire to be “on the scene” of the missionary expansion, even getting into the interior. He was persuaded to put aside his suit in favor of more suitable attire borrowed from the missionaries. Incidentally, during this journey a brother traveling with Brother Knorr photographed some scenes later used in the Society’s motion picture “Happiness of the New World Society.” Among these was one of David Hibshman conducting a Bible study amid surroundings of corn drying on a roof and on the ground. Another captured the beauty of the waterfalls high above Lake Atitlan.

During December 1960, for the first time over one thousand publishers preached throughout Guatemala. In March 1961 Brother Knorr again visited the capital. By now there were ten congregations in the city.
