Jehovah s Witnesses containing report for the service year of

The fruitage of the spirit is
... self-control.-Gal.
5,' 22, 23, NW.
Those who become eunuchs
for the sake of God's kingdom
fill up the void that they might
naturally fecI because of not
having a beloved mate by planning
and striving to fill up
their lives with all the service
to Go(1 they can possibly rendeI'.
Keeping thus fully occupied
holds t.heir hearts and
their attention riveted on the
urgent work now to be done
in the short remaining time.
This self-application rewards
them with joys and blessings
that countl'rbalance anything
that their flesh might at times
try to persuade them that they
are missing by not being married
to a Christian mate. SeIfcontrol
is one of the fruits of
God's spirit, one of the important
things that every Christian
must add to his knowledge,
faith and virtue. So they
specially cultivate the spirit's
fruitage of self-control in order
to hold onto their singleness.
They strengthen and fortify
this specially directed selfcontrol
by looking at the advantages
they enjoy by this
and the undesired things they
avoid by this. W 10/1 6a

Btlt as for me, I will walk in
mine intcgrity.-Ps. 26,' 11.
How dol'S integrity influence
our relation to our brothers?
God now gives special privileges
and responsibilities to
servants in a congregation who
willingly take the lead in lahoI'
and in care of his sheep.
Mature publishers can aid others
in the house-to-house ministry,
taking them along, showing
them how to preach and
training them to become fellow
witnesses. Husbands too will
remain true to their wives and
wives to their husbands. Par-
ents will similarly teach and
train their children and children
will obey their parents in
union with the Lord. And how
will our integrity affect our
relation to the worldly? Our
commission is to do good to
all, to injure none. As far as
posRible our preaching and
teaching work should be intensified
us the world's end
draws near. This means to
read from the Bible to the
people in their homes, at their
doors. wherever possible--outside
and inside prison walls.

Observe the commandment in
a spotless and irrcprehensible
way.-l T'im. 6,' 14, NlV.
To keep pace with the New
World society means many
things for us. It means a life
of dedication to Jehovah as
Jesus' was and now is. It
means for us to get rid of oldworld
habits and to conform
ourselves to God's requirements.
It means to recognize
the faithful and discreet slave
and show due respect to those
in authority. It means proving
what we ourselves really arc.
H we do this we shall mature
by God's undeserved kindness.
"Ye shall become aware of the
bountiful blessing it is to keep
in step with his organization.
We shall thrill in theocratic
expansion. "Ye shall glow with
the spirit at the increase of
knowledge and understanding.
We shall reap with joy what
we have sown. Our conviction
will be strong, our faith immovable,
our appreciation deep,
and our joy will abound with
full assurance that we are in
step with the New "Vorld society
of God, whose guidance
will feed us well spiritually
now and keep us alive on into
the New World of righteousness
and forevermore. lV 6/1
