THE temperature had already started to climb that Friday morning in September 1922 as 8,000 people crowded into the auditorium. The chair- man announced that during this important ses- sion, anyone was free to leave, but no one would be allowed to reenter the hall.
Songs were sung during the opening “Praise Service,” after which Joseph F. Rutherford stepped up to the speaker’s stand. Most in the audience sat in suspense. A few restlessly paced about in the heat. The speaker earnestly urged them to sit down and listen. As the talk began, did anyone notice the large cloth roll neatly tied and hung high overhead?
Brother Rutherford spoke on the theme “The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” For about an hour and a half, his powerful voice reverberated through the hall as he discussed how the proph- ets of old had fearlessly announced the coming Kingdom. Reaching the climax, he asked, “Do you believe that the King of glory has begun his reign?” The audience responded with a mighty shout: “Yes!”
“Then back to the field, O ye sons of the most high God!” Brother Rutherford thundered. “Be- hold, the King reigns! You are his publicity agents. Therefore, advertise, advertise, adver- tise.”
At that moment, the cloth roll overhead grace- fully unfurled, revealing the slogan: “Advertise the King and Kingdom.”
“The audience was electrified,” recalled Ray Bopp. Anna Gardner described how “the rafters shook with the applause.” “The whole audience rose to its feet as one,” stated Fred Twarosh.
Evangelos Scouffas said, “It was as if a mighty power pulled us up from our seats, and we stood up and our eyes filled with tears.”
Many at that convention had already been spreading the Kingdom good news. Yet, they now felt infused with a new sense of purpose. Ethel Bennecoff related that the Bible Students went forth “with more zeal and love in [their] hearts than ever before.” Odessa Tuck, who at the time was 18, left the convention determined to answer the call “Who will go?” She said: “I did not know where or how or what. The one thing I did know was that I wanted to be like Isaiah, who said: ‘Here I am! Send me!’” (Isa. 6:8) “That celebrat- ed day,” said Ralph Leffler, “was the real begin- ning of the Kingdom advertising campaign that today has encircled the earth.”

If you have anyone has more photos from this convention (or audio) please add it to this post. Thank you - The Librarian

Re-dedicated Kingdom Hall to Allah?
It still looks like a Kingdom Hall to me.
Anyone know what year this Kingdom Hall was built and by what RBC back then? I'm guessing it was a 2 Day Kingdom Hall in 1988.

This is some super exciting work into autophagy. Let's hope they isolate the right proteins. ;-)

Ibid. is like the word ditto.
It means the same source as the one right above it.
It's an abbreviation of the Latin word ibidem, which means "in the same place."
You may also run across op. cit.
Op. cit. is used to direct your reader to a previously noted full citation located somewhere else (not immediately before it) in your work, like "F. Franz, op. cit., p. 221."

Yes @Anna it is a separate threaded reply comment system that sits on top of this forum. You will need to sign in there again for this to work. Sorry.
The @admin didn't want to wait for the forum developers to learn about threaded replies... so he added this one on.
It might be a good idea to split up relevant additional factual info... from the accusations and bickering and awesome humor some share..... it's all good ... but it can hijack threads.
Just thought we should try something new....
Let me know down there what you think.
-
It should show right below like this.... at least it does on Google Chrome and Safari:
What OS are you using... just curious.
-
see this other thread for instance...
we are training ourselves to improve the site overall.

@James Thomas Rook Jr. Help me out trying out a new protocol.....
As these threads gets hijacked and cumbersome....
lets have everyone start to make humor, accusations, status updates etc... in the threaded replies area below.... and leave the flat replies section up here for substantial additions or comments directly related to the title / themes,

perhaps this displays differently on different screens. I see no option other than to comment as I have been.
Look for this area below:

As you can see. .. popular threads are overtaken (hijacked) and become a mess in a flat thread forum.
hence the threaded replies section below.
I'm thinking we can start to train ourselves to use the flat area to address the actual theme.... and the side conversations between members can go below.
This will take some time to learn for everyone but I think it will be better for all....substantive additional comments or questions above... chats or accusations below.
Help me out training others as well please.
everyone will still get email notifications when replying to another person down there as they currently do.

@b4ucuhear please see my last comment in this post....
Your argument / comment has very little to do with the title of this post.
hence... please post it below in the threaded chat area and I will delete the one up here.
Thank you in advance.

Let's have everyone start to use the threaded discussion area below for their tit for tat petty accusations rather than make posts on the thread....
At least those will be threaded and won't hijack a post thematically.
Could we all learn to post the most substantive "stuff" here as posts and regular comments and side arguments in the threaded comments area?
Thanking everyone in advance.
