Normally, people in the island rise early in the day. Alfred Joseph recalled that one morning he and some other brothers decided to get an early start in the witness work in Holetown, a small community on the west coast. They hung the transcription machine high up on a tree so that the sound would travel far in the quiet morning air and thus reach more people. This aggressive tactic got an immediate response. Brother Joseph said: “A police sergeant soon appeared on the scene, advising that he had been dispatched by the ‘Reverend’ and that we were to stop our program of Bible education. We encouraged him to listen for a few minutes. When he observed that we were not disorderly in any way​—apart from starting early—​and that there was nothing wrong with our Kingdom message, he left.”

“Some time after that incident, I set up the transcription machine in the open air well to the rear of the same Nazarene Church and played Judge Rutherford’s recordings. As a result, when the congregation assembled for service, many did not go inside but, rather, stayed outside to listen to the recorded lecture. Whether it was mainly out of curiosity or because of real interest, I couldn’t say, but this I could say: ‘My congregation’ outside was larger than what was inside the church.”
