circuit servants are appreciated is shown by the following
experience.
"Sunday morning was devoted to announcing the
public talk. But now is the rainy season and one cannot
count on the weather. The discourse was, of course,
to be given in the open air. At 4 p.m. it began to rain
and it continued in a drenching downpour until 6 p.m.
The discourse was scheduled for 6:30. Already a goodly
number had gathered. At 6:35 there was a break in
the clouds and the circuit servant decided to begin
his talk. After half an hour the rain again began to
pour in torrents. Umbrellas went up; everyone tried to
protect himself. The circuit servant asked if he should
stop the talk, but everyone wanted him to continue.
So, protected by an umbrella, he finished his talk, and
that before an attendance of 875. We looked with
astonishment on these people, who were like so many
hungry sheep. There is a great work to be done here."
The great event of the year for the brothers in

Two of the circuit servants had been to the Paris
Triumphant Kingdom assembly and they were eager
for their colored brothers to taste of the Kingdom joys
experienced during that assembly. The assembly program
was identical with the Paris program. This assembly
lasted four days, November 6 to 9, and brought
great joy to the brothers there.
There are now fourteen special pioneers in this vast
territory. One of them writes: "For a long time we
have heard in our territory mention of the God 'Jehovah.'
It was like the wind in the trees. It is because
of such assemblies as our last circuit assembly that
the people are beginning to learn of the true God Jehovah.
With other brothers we traveled over a hundred
miles to attend this assembly. Some went on foot and
were walking for two and a half days. All were joyful
on the return journey, talking of the blessings of that
assembly. We thank Jehovah God, who protected us
during our voyage there and back and who has given
us his holy spirit so that we may retain what we have
learned at that assembly."
MOROCCO
Morocco is real virgin territory. Ten months ago a
married couple, special pioneers, were assigned to Casablanca.
Before their arrival there were only three or
four scattered isolated publishers who needed help
badly in the Kingdom service. The special pioneer brother
writes: "In this country, which for several years
has seen only a long series of riots and where the
