Yearbook 155
good-will persons were found. They were glad to hear about
Jehovah's provision for the new world, as they had never
heard anything about it before. And so by gOing from door
to door the lovers of righteousness were satisfied and 23
books, booklets and copies of The Watchtower were placed

EL SALVADOR
During the past year the people of El Salvador have
partaken freely of Jehovah's provisions to the fine
end that the organization in that land has grown in
size. It is a joy to banquet at the spiritual table of
Jehovah, and the witnesses in El Salvador appreciate
the feast of fat things. When the missionaries
who have been serving so well in EI Salvador left
for the New York assembly, they were a little fearful
of what might happen to the new publishers and
the organization that remained behind. But on re-
