In northern France, Józef Krett preached to immigrant Polish mine workers. He was scheduled to deliver a talk entitled “The Resurrection of the Dead Soon.” When invitations were delivered to residents of the town, a local priest warned his parishioners not to attend. His warning had the opposite effect. More than 5,000 people attended the lecture, including the priest! Brother Krett invited the priest to defend his beliefs, but he refused. Brother Krett placed all the literature he had, noting that the people he witnessed to had a thirst for God’s Word.​—Amos 8:11.
