transatlantic travelers? Not just for the jaunt, but for reasons that are practical. What better mission is there than (1) improving one’s appreciation of Jehovah’s goodness and of the unity of the Christian organization, (2) bearing testimony to one’s brothers in other lands of the fact that all of Jehovah’s witnesses are of the same purpose and of the same mind, and (3) participating on an international scale in obeying the Christian command to ‘not forsake the gathering of ourselves together’? (Heb. 10:25, NW) Are these good reasons good enough for you? Then will you be there? Do not delay. Plans must be made now. Attend and benefit from this grand series of international assemblies that is now less than five months away.
AN EASY WAY TO KEEP INFORMED
Some people do not know very much about anything. Others know something about many things. They can follow practically any conversation with appreciation and enjoyment, because the subjects discussed are not completely strange to them. How do they get to be so well informed? Doing some reading every day, perhaps fifteen minutes or so, is a great aid. Subscribers for Awake! magazine get information on a wide variety of subjects. This 32-page magazine, which comes to its subscribers twice a month, not only keeps them informed on world happenings, but discusses things of interest in every field of human activity. Additionally, Awake! always contains a helpful Bible article of unusual merit. All this information to keep you informed is available at the surprisingly low cost of $1 a year. All who subscribe during February, March and April will be given three booklets dealing with interesting Bible matters. Wait no longer. Write today.
1955 MEMORIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
The annual celebration of the Lord’s evening meal in commemoration of Christ’s death, in which his anointed followers share, will occur this year on April 7, after 6 p.m., Standard Time. That date corresponds to the ancient Nisan 14, on which evening Christ Jesus and his apostles gathered for the institution of this memorable observance. Accordingly, Jehovah’s witnesses (including all persons of good will toward God) will assemble together on this date. A capable speaker, dedicated and baptized, one of the remnant if available and capable, will give the discourse and supervise the distribution of the emblems, after Jehovah’s blessing has been prayed for over each separately. All in attendance will be invited to share in the special week-end field service arrangements made by the congregation.
