"Mankind, close to annihilation," related Mr. Jones, "needs humbly to find the true means of unity, love of God and neighbour which is God's Kingdom by Christ. Jesus gave a great sign pointing to our present chaotic generation as proof of the Kingdom's establishment." The be-| ginning of that kingdom and condi- tion he remarked, began in 1914. "There is no disunity in the New World Society of Jehovah's witness- es," continued Mr. Jones, "because they have found and applied that} means of unity. They have unitedly fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy at chapter two, verse four, by adopting instru- ments of peace in place of war." Unity was manifested from the out- set of this three-day gathering the theme of which was, "Assisting One Another to do God's Will." Friday evening four took part in a model form of the Ministry School main- tained by each of the 25657 congrega- tions of Jehovah's Witnesses in the world.

What would our life be like without | 0il? All our ears would have to be driven by steam or electricity, and how far would they go lubricated by (whale oil or bear grease. Many of the big liners and naval vessels ari fueled by oil, and no one has yet pro- duced an airplane that can get alon without oil.
