Lewisburg officials of the Watch-
tower Bible and Tract Society have
said plans for a series of 142 district
conventions of Jehovah's Witnesses
in the United States have been
made for this summer.
Spokesman James H. Copland
said 59 separate facilities would be
used to accommodate more than
one million delegates expected for
the four-day district convention
meetings throughout the country.
Mr Copland said the convention
program will be presented in nine
languages. In addition to English
they include Spanish, Chinese,
French, Greek, Italian, Japanese,
Korean and Portuguese.
Hope Lutheran Church, located on Routes 39 and 92 at Min-
the Springs, was established in 1876 by the family of Henry
The congregation met in homes until 1893, when the present
building was constructed. Reverend J. F. A. Lautenschlager
first Reverend Neal Weltzin took over the pastorate of
ly 15.
Mr Copland said 1,500 delegates
will represent 21 congregations from
Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia
at the convention scheduled July
19-22 at the Civic Center Coliseum
in Roanoke, Virginia.
Mr Copland said language has
been a divisive factor in human rela-
tions for centuries. "Language is
only one of the reasons for divisions
among men, however," he said.
"Others are nationality, race, educa-
tion and social status. But Jehovah's
Witnesses are working internation-
ally to overcome all these divisive
factors and become truly united."
"Last summer we saw a more
striking display of this unity in the
cities of Chorzow, Poznan, and
Warsaw in Poland. Witnesses
speaking at least 20 different lan-
guages were present from 37 lands.
Yet, a striking oneness was manifest
by all of the over 160,000 who at-
tended," he said.
"By means of talks, demonstra-
tions, symposiums and dramas, lhe
theme of international unity will be
emphasized," Mr Copland said.

Ronceverte PreSbyterian Church
joined a growing Vacation Bible
School trend June 11-15 as it con-
ducted its first "Tour of the Holy
Land."
According to co-chairman Pam
Arnold, 23 adults helped in the
week's emphasis on the traditions
and culture of Jesus' day in Israel.
Thirty children, aged three through
eleven, attended and were divided
into four groups. Groups visited a
different "town" each evening and
experienced a variety of "hands-on"
opportunities to become acquainted
with foods, crafts, worship, and
other traditions of Biblical times.
Represented were Bethany,
where children learned about every-
day procedures in the Jewish home;
Nazareth, where they worked in car-
pentry; Jerusalem, where musical
instruments, cloth, and foods were
studied; and Capernaum, where
children were involved in Jewish
worship traditions.
Junior and senior high school
students served as assistant tour
guides and helped adults in a vari-
ety of ways. Mary Burdette and Pam
Baker joined Ms Arnold as co-chair-
men of the Vacation Bible School
Committee.
"It went very well," Ms Arnold
said. "The children thoroughly en-
joyed the week, and the adults en-
joyed it just as much. One thing I
really liked about it is that it involved
a large number of our adults--and
that's something you don't often see
in Vacation Bible School. It gave our
children an opportunity to get to
know them in a way that's not often
possible. It was a wonderful 'inter-
geherational experience.'"
The week's activities concluded
with a& open house June 22. Mini-
tours of the four towns were pro-
vided for visiting parents.
