Witnesses To
Attend Atlanta
Meeting July 6
Seashore or mountainside,
vacations are designed to “get
away from it all,” and for one
group of people from Coving
ton no vacation would be com
plete without a convention.
"Nearly all of Jehovah’s Wit
nesses plan their vacations aro
und our annual summer conven
tion,” said John E. Baugher,
presiding minister of the Cov
ington Congregation. Plans have
been completed for a large dele
gation here to attend an eight
day convention in Atlanta July
6-13,” he said.
A survey of congregation mem
bers indicate that many are mak
ing convention-time a time of
relaxation, too, with side visits
to the usual tourist attractions
planned along the way.
"Sessions will be held in At
lanta Stadium and will emphas
ize the Bible’s promise of a new
and peaceful system of things
on earth,” Mr. Baugher said.
“This promise of‘peace on earth’
is, in fact, the convention’s
theme.”
Local Witnesses will join over
45,000 others from 47 states and
26 countries to hear and see
Bible dramas and talks built
around the theme of peace.

in addition to address changes,
are starting or stopping work
