usual Anglican minister and, indignant at having to give
way to Jehovah's witnesses, this again happened the second
week. However, the radio station boldly allowed our programs-but
every other Saturday instead of weekly; this,
they said, "because other denominations hearing us wanted
the same privilege."
The New York convention was the talk of every publisher
even if thousands of miles away, and a great send-off was
given to 12 delegates from here. More would have gone but
the sudden devaluation of the pound sterling put them at
a financial disadvantage which caused them to change their
plans. With the fast air-mail service from New York we
were able to schedule three assemblies in Georgetown as
we received regular convention reports and for which we
were very grateful. And not only the reports, but kind
individuals sent us copies of all new releases by air. So
you can imagine the unexpected thrill to the brethren as,
one after another, out of the bag came new things, and
who had antiCipated so mUCh, so soon and so timely? Now
we are looking forward to the return of our delegates and
new missionaries and then for a 4-day district assembly
in the warm and dry November weather.
Upon new instructions from the president the companies
in British Guiana will now be served three times a year
by the circuit servant who is also the branch servant. Means
of transportation is oftentimes by boat, and time so spent
always proves to be 'in season preaching' because fellow
passengers readily take the magazines. Most of them recognize
The Watchtower and Awake! and as we ply between
the many little islands en route to small companies and
isolated brethren one can spend almost the entire journey In
WitneSSing. The visit is enthusiastically awaited by the
brethren who have done much oral advertising in advance.
The result is that upon arrival the white circuit servant
is already well known and is greeted by all the villagers
with "Good day, brueder!" All the "hard" questions are
saved for his visit, and so there is quite a session when these
are answered.
The wild interior too is receiving a witness. In addition
to one pioneer brother who has been sowing some good seed
there, as well as doing some patient watering, there is a
constant stream of men heading for the gold and diamond
fields, including some who love the Kingdom. While in
Georgetown some of these men learn of the truth sufficiently
well to begin preaching themselves. So as they return to
the fields they take along literature to distribute, thus
spreading true riches. We now find subscribers all over
the interior, and who can tell to what this w!ll yet lead?
