news is concerned Y Certainly not! Because if 16,000
came in during this year, how many more thousands
can come into the truth in the remaining few years 1
With more ministers in the field, undoubtedly more
people will be reached, more time can be devoted to
home Bible studies and making calls on those who have
shown interest in the Kingdom; so the end is not yet,
but we are rapidly approaching to the accomplished
end. In the United States there is still much to be
done, as is true throughout all parts of the earth. Not

interest of all the companies at heart and look after
the thousands of pioneers who serve this land, but
the branch office in America also prepares millions
of books, booklets, Bibles and magazines for use here
and by the Society's branches in other lands. The report

tells us what has happened in the factory and in the
field, and from it we shall see how Theocracy's increase

dedicated purpose of praising Jehovah. Expanding out into
this approximate 90 per cent increase of floor space provided
urgently needed room for more efficient production in
the old section of the factory. While the floor space was
being occupied, 2,280 gallons of paint was being applied to
the interior and exterior of the entire factory building. AU
this was being accomplished by our own brethren from the
factory force.

Bethel family to work extra hours evenings and Saturday
