Draws l,5OO Sunday

A crowd of 1900 people
filled Wickers Stadium Sum-
day afternoon to hear the
main lecture of the south
east Florida Circuit assem-
bly, of Jehovah's Witnesses

"a, 25 and &c.
A large group of Witnesses at
tended the mass immersions held
Saturday afternoon at the Marine
Motel Pool when approximately 80
persons were immersed.
Overflow Crowd
At the Sunday afternoon lecture
the Witnesses and friends overflow
ed Wickers Stadium and over a
hundred heard the lecture in the
cafeteria of Poinciana School via
a special wire from the stadium
to the school.
The lecturer, A. A. Catanzaro, Ut
Brooklyn, New York, speaking on
docs God Really Care?" pointed
out that 1.-The situation and gener-
al picture in the world today with
all its crime, war, violence and
juvenile delinquency, coupled with
a general disrespect for law and Or
der is the reason why many say
that God doesn't care and have
given up hope"
Catanzaro told the assembly that
proof that God cares is shown
by his word, the Bible. He hears
the call for freedom and liberia
ton from His people and He will
deliver them"
Worlds Hope
The speaker concluded his ad-
dress saying 1T is high time we
set aside all preconceived notions
based on traditions of men and
stop reading the Bible with denom'
national eyeglasses. BY so doing
We can be in that kingdom we
pray for in saying Thy Kingdom
! come, they will be done on earth
for the hope of the Kingdom is the
whole worlds hope and its only
one."
A. Payette spoke Saturday follow
ing the immersions and stressed
the need Of Christians to engage in
pastoral and shepherding work IN
searching for sick and lost sheep.
Of great interest to the Witness
es was the film 1.-The New World
Society in Action which was
shown at Wickers Stadium.
The movie is being shown world
wide by the religious sect.
