You will be pleased to know that in the continental United States there was a peak attendance of 785,051 and 5,539 were baptized.

The field service Friday morning was also a delight. Indeed, “the one whom people put in charge of much, they will demand more than usual of him,” and so it was most fitting that talks during the morning and afternoon sessions of one entire day were devoted to considering the needs of the elders, who number about 45,000 in this country.​—Luke 12:48.

Elders especially appreciated the kindly admonition to keep examining themselves as to their attitude toward their assignment, their spirituality and the example they set in the evangelizing work, matters of morality and firmness for right principles. One of them said: “Wednesday’s program was for me. Now I can see how to perform all my duties and be balanced as a person and family head.”

Were you not encouraged to learn that almost 28,000 were baptized in the United States last year and 273,000 studies were conducted each month?
