Regarding his own experience and that of others in 1925, Jules Feller explained: “Those who had set their confidence in Jehovah remained steadfast and continued their preaching activity.” They recognized that a mistake had been made but that in no respect had God’s Word failed, and therefore there was no reason either to let their own hope grow dim or to slow down in the work of pointing people to God’s Kingdom as mankind’s only hope.

Jules Feller

When he was a young man, Jules Feller observed severe testings of faith. Some congregations in Switzerland shrank to half their former size or less. But he later wrote: “Those who had set their confidence in Jehovah remained steadfast and continued their preaching activity.” Brother Feller determined to do that too, and as a result, down till 1992 he has enjoyed 68 years of Bethel service.
