Making
Jehovah's
Name
Known
in
All
the Earth
When
Jesus
commissioned
his
disciples to
be
witnesses
"to
the
most
distant
part
of
the
earth,"
he
had
already
set
the
example
for
them
to
follow.
(Acts
1:8)
Whenever
and
wher-
ever
he
found
people,
he
talked
about God's
purpose
for
hu-
mankind.
In
imitation
of
Jesus,
the
faithful
slave
class
is
using
a
great
variety
of
ways
to
make
Je-
hovah's
name
"known
in
all
the
earth."-Isa.

Of

prirna-

emphasis
has
always
been
placed
on
making
personal
con-
tact
with
people
so
that
the
in-
terest
found
can
be
cultivated.
Consequently,
the
house-to-
house
ministry
has
proved
to
be
a
very
effective
means
of
making
Jehovah's
name
known
every-
where.-Acts
5:42.

will
be done
after the next Congregation Book
Study, with assistance where neces-
sary from the book study conduc-
tor. Before signing, be sure that the
cards are filled out completely. Those
signing as witnesses should actually
see the cardholder sign the document.
By adapting language from this card
to their own circumstances
and
con-
victions, unbaptized publishers may
write out their own directive to use
for themselves and their children. The
durable power of attorney, or proxy,
form has been prepared by the So-

is
a more comprehensive
health-care document that provides
primary legal protection. Witnesses
who have not already filled out this
form
and
wh? wish to do so can obtain
a copy from the congregation secre-
tary.
(If
a publisher has moved to an-
other state, he would need to execute
a new form
in

Use
Tracts
to
Start
Conversations
Would
you
not
agree
that
giving
an
effective
witness
de-
pends
largely
on
your
taking
the
initiativeto
start
conversa-
tions?
The
challenge
is
to
say
something
that
captures
the
person's
interest
and
gets
him
involved.
But
how
can
this
be
done
effectively?
=
Many
publishers
have
found
that
with
a
few
well-
chosen
words, offering
one
of
our
Bible-based
tracts
can
start
conversations.
The
titles
are
appealing,
and
the
illus-
trations
are
colorful
and
eye-
catching.
A
tract
does
not
overwhelm
a
person,
giving
the
impressionthat
there
is
a
lot
of
information
to
read.
Still,
the
concise
messages in
tracts
are
absorbing
and
can
be
used
to
lead
into
a
Bible
study.
3This
is
how
one
Witness
personally
felt:
"In
this
hurry-
up
world,
people
often
do
not
want
to
take
much
time
to
read,
but
the
tracts
are
just
long
enough
to
give
an
impor-
tant
message
but
not
so
long
as
to
turn
people
away
before
they
even
look at
it.
I
read
many
of
the
tracts,
and
I
even-
tually
learned
the
truth."
Nev-
er
underestimate
the
power
of
God's
Word
as
explained
in
these
brief,
printed
messages.

Distributing
Bible

is
a
time-tested,
effective
means

you
can

Tracts
play
an

Be
