Both Jumalan Valtakunta and Consolation magazines started to be published again at the beginning of 1945. And from the July 1 issue onward, the name of the magazine Jumalan Valtakunta was again The Watchtower. Did people want the magazines? There were not many periodicals offered on a subscription basis right after the war, so the publishers received a record number of new subscriptions: 40,038!

Although Finland was a notable producer of paper at that time, the government wanted to export all the paper in order to get foreign currency into Finland. Would the printing of our magazines grind to a halt because of the difficulty in obtaining paper? To economize, Brother Knorr decided to discontinue the printing of the Consolation magazine for the time being.
