I s It Up-to-Date?
Not long ago two Witnesses on
vacation in Connecticut inquired in
the town where they were staying
as t O the location of the Kingdom
Hall. Without hesitation the shop- '
keeper told them where it was, near
the edge of town. They drove out to
the hall and sfopped to read the
sign in front to make sure of meeting times, so they could plan to be
there. I t did not appear that any
of the brothers were a t the hall
just then, so the visitors started
to drive away. But a s they did,
a brother came from behind the
hall, curious to see who had stoppep
The visiting Witnesses were gla
to meet him, and told him that they
,were looking forward to being a t
the meeting there Friday evening.
"Our meetings have not been on
Friday for quite a while," he said.
"We meet on, Thqrsday." It was a
good thing that the visitors met
him, because, if they had followed
the sign, they would have missed
the meeting.
2 I n another location, in Pennsyfvania, a Witness whose husbanq
is not in the truth located a Kingdom Hall and checked the sign in
front to be sure about meeting
times. She worked hard to get the
children ready and, with her husband's permission, left for the hall
-just in time for the concluding
song. Meeting times had changed,

but not t'he sign.

THE
To Assist Our Catholic Neighbors
l o n e woman said, "We've been
tricked." Another said, "Now that
me hear the mass in English,
there's nothing to it." Others say,
"We are supposed to witness to
Christ, but we don't know how."
These are some of the comments
heard from Catholic people since
the ecumenical council in Rome.
2 What ' approach might we take
so as \to assist our Catholic neighbors? If we are certain that it is
a Catholic home, we could say, "We
have been making friendly visits
on our Catholic neighbors to encourage more Bible reading and
discussion." Whatever introduction
you use, there are three points that
you may wish to include: (-1)our
call will take only a few minutes,
(2) it is free, and (3) we would
like ,to have the householder use
his own Bible. The householder can
be invited to get his Bible, and, if
"lere is some hesitation, we might
ent ti on the subject we want to
discuss. If Revelation 21: 3, 4 is
used, for example, we could briefly
4iscuss what its fulfillment will
nean to the householder. Other apropriate texts from a booklet such
a God's W a y Is Love or "This
_:ood News of the Kingdom" can be
used. After discussing appropriate

right from the householder's own Bible, literature can
be offered a s an aid to understanding 'the Bible. If 'the literature
offer is refused, you may still be
able to arrange for another call
to have a further discussion directly from the Bible.
3 However we handle such calls,
it would be good to make the sermon simple and something that appeals to us a s well a s being informative and setting out a Scriptural
hope. Make plain the purpose of
your call so there will be no doubt
in the householder's mind.
4At the outset same brothers
talking to Catholics find it best to
state that they are Jehovah's witnesses and then kindly explain why
they are calling. They mention that
they are very much interested in
their neighbors and that is why
they take time to come to their
homes to help them with their study
of the Bible. Also, you can stress
the importance of Bible study because of the seriousness of the
times in which we live. Try to end
the call on a positive note, even if
the householder does not respond
to the offer of assistance made. May
our plain words of truth appeal to
the ears and act on the hearts of
those who feel they have been
tricked by their church.

~NOW
that you nave learned tne
truth and have dedicated your life
to Jehovah, what is your goal in
life? IS it not to stay in Jehovah's
favor to serve ~ e h o v a h everlastingly; Yes that is the goal all of
US gave ' ~ n dWe want to find
delight always in doing Jehovah's
will. But what is Jehovah's will
for U S now? Simply stated we are
called on to do the work that
Jehovah's only-begotten Son did and
to conduct our lives by the pattern
he set.
NOW, just think for a moment
about the pattern he set. Jesus was
a preacher and a teacher of God's
Word. He trained others to become fellow preachers and teachers
of the good news. And he foretold
that during the "time of the end''
'this good news of the Kingdom
would be preached for a witness
to all the nations.'-Matt. 24 : 14.
Those words let us know what
our work is. 'CVe know that if you

"no man ever hated his own flesh;
but he feeds and cherishes it."
(Eph, 5 : 29) He wants to keep
his flesh alike and healthy, so he
endeavors to follow regular eating
and living habits. As Christians we
well know the necessity of taking
in knowledge of God and Christ if
we are to enjoy everlasting life.
Therefore, regular spiritual habits
are required. Why not pause for a
moment and examine your spiritual
habits? Ask yourself: When is my
regular personal study period? Are
you really looking after your
own spiritual well-being? Spiritual
strength must be ours if we shall
endure. So for your good be sure
you have your weekly personal
study period.

a man's loving his wife a s himself,
