Jehovah’s Plan Convention
The Watchtower Bible and
Tract Society of New York has
finalized plans for 59 district
conventions of Jehovah’s Wit
nesses for 1972 in the United
States.
Convention officials in New-
York revealed that the Round-
Up Stadium in Pendleton has
been selected as one of the
sites, July 20-23.
Fred Huffman, convention
manager, said 7,000 delegates
are expected. Huffman said
other conventions are scheduled
for the Gill Coliseum in Cor
vallis, July 6-9; and Civic Cen
ter in Butte, Montana, July 20-
23.
Charles Dodge, supervisor of
the congregation in Payette with
whom the Witnesses of Nyssa
associate, said the four-day
convention will stress the im
portance of spirituality in an
age of materialism. -Theworld
is under great stress,” he said.
“Daily the news media reports
on revolution, anarchy, pollu
tion, war, crime, disease and
death. Jehovah’s Witnesses feel
that there is a definite drift
away from the Bible,” Dodge
continued.
“This convention
will place the Bible in its pro
per place. It is not simply an
accurate historical record and
a good collection of prose and
poetry. It is a book detailing
God’s standards by which men
should live including worship,
morals, and our dealings with
others.”
Dodge said the theme of the
convention is “Divine Ruler
ship” and the program’s com
postion of lectures, sym
posiums, dramas and discus
sions will center on the need
for Divine intervention for man
to have peace and life.
Dodge said 90 delegates will
represent Payette at the con
vention.

Harris. “It’s really clean and dirt-free. They
took out our old furnace and put in this new
one in about a day and a half. In the process
we gained a lot of space, because the old one
took up the whole center of the basement.

which could be made clean and comfortable
by changing as we did,” says Mr. Harris.
