DISTRIBUTING THE “ZG”

On June 21, 1920, the Bible Students began an intense campaign to distribute the “ZG,” a paperback edition of The Finished Mystery.a A large number of these books had been stored when the book was banned in 1918.

All class workers, not just the colporteurs, were invited to share in the distribution work. “Every consecrated [baptized] person in every class who can participate should do so gladly. Let this be the motto of each one now: ‘This one thing I do’​—put out the ZG.” Edmund Hooper recalled that this campaign was for many the first actual door-to-door work they had ever done. He added, “We really began to get the feel of the work that was to expand beyond our wildest expectations.”
