Greetings! To you Christians from scattered residences in Asia, Europe, Africa, North and South America and the great and small islands of the sea who have journeyed to this assembly, may Jehovah's undeserved kindness and peace be increased. While all of us are most joyful at being together in assembly, still we are mindfu! of our many brothers and sisters who have been unable to ioin us here in New York at this marvelous Divine Will International Assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses. Our love reaches out to every one of them, and our prayers ascend to our gracious God to bless them nonetheless. May it be Jehovah's will that f·hrough our being here we shall be able to take the ioy, gladness and warm fel!o~Nship of this assembly back to our brothers, along with the abundant spiritual food that we are confident Jehovah will shower upon us to overAov1ing. As delegates at this assembly we must all feel our responsibility in this regard. What a pleasure it will be for you delegates to talk soon to our brothers around the world about the goodness of Jehovah! · We are grateful, too, for the many labors of love already expressed by willing workers in prepara"tion for this glorious assembly, and we rejoice to see the spirit of Jehovah operating through his Son, Jesus Christ, upon all his willing slaves. Together, all of us are determined by Jehovah's undeserved kindness to make the good news of Jehovah's kingdom known in all the inhabited earth and to make this assembly a praise to the most holy name of Jehovah, our God. To all of you present I extend a hearty welcome and transmit the warm love from Jehovah's witnesses from all around the world. Together our prayers continue to be that the divine will may come to pass at this assembly to the honor o'f Jehovah's great name and to the blessing of his

faithful people. Your brother,
