Yea1'book 115
One priest said to his parishioners: "I am not going to
suggest what methods you should adopt but I advise you to
get rid of these people as quickly as possible." In this way.
the ignorant people are aroused to take action that we know
of only too well, and the responsibility rests with the clergy
for the mob action which so often follows. Not all, however,
are so easily hoodwinked by these false charges. It was
to help all such that It was considered advisable to prepare
a folder setting out the facts. This was done and thousands
of these folders have been distributed with the people. The
folder Is entitled: "Conspiracy Against the Truth or Liberty
to Proclaim It-Which Do You Favor? Read, Then Choose
Wisely." There is good reason to believe that this folder
has had the effect of aiding the honest people to know the
facts, but, as is to be expected, the clergy and their dupes
have been stirred to further opposition. They are now embittered
as never before and they are concerned at the
progress being made. No other religious body has dared to
show active opposition by declaring what they know to
be the facts concerning Catholic domination.
MALTA
Some time ago the government of Malta took action
against the work of Jehovah's witnesses, being determined
to prevent the spread of the Kingdom message.
Roman Catholic domination of the population
is practically complete. The Gilead brethren who
were assigned to Malta some time ago were removed
by the government of Malta. However, the Kingdom
message is still being preached by one faithful resident
of the island. We rejoice with this brother in
his service under the direction of the London office.
One lone brother reports to us monthly concerning his
witnessing. It is good to know that there is no power on
earth that can entirely shut the mouths of those who know
of Jehovah's purposes and want to tell their neighbors
about it. The Kingdom message continues to be delivered and
we rejoice to know that some at least will hear despite the
efforts of the Devil to suppress it entirely. We trust that
by some means there will yet be an expansion of the witness
to the people of Malta while the opportunity remains. Some
literature is being distributed among good-will interest and
back-calls are made. We are happy to record this brother's
share in the song of praise to Jehovah's name.
