The Kingdom-preaching and disciple-making work was growing in the Leewards during the early 1950’s. For instance, it was progressing in St. Kitts, that fertile island noted for its sugar and molasses production. In fact, the growth was sufficient to warrant the holding of the first circuit assembly in St. Kitts from November 17 to 19, 1950. Samuel McKenzie and Arnold Stoute, two more Gilead graduates who had recently arrived, shared in the program.

Milton G. Henschel, from the Society’s headquarters in Brooklyn, visited the Leewards from March 30 to April 1, 1954, and a three-day assembly was arranged in conjunction with that visit. The local Witnesses surely appreciated the fine Scriptural counsel provided during Brother Henschel’s assembly talks. Imagine, too, the joy of the brothers as a result of the unexpected showing of the Society’s film “The New World Society in Action”!
