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 fhrough 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,

ANNOUNCEMENTS
BOOKROOM AND BIBLES
Inasmuch as the public-address systems are

to be used only for bringing to the audience the
convention program and information pertinent
to the organization, neither the chairman of the
convention nor anyone else will make personal
announcements over these systems.
Literature for field service can be obtained in

the bookrooms at each stadium. At Yankee
Stadium the locations are Sections 22, 26, 34,
Lobby level, and at the Polo Grounds Sections
1, 1-A, Main level. Also, there will be a display
of Bibles in the main lobby concourse in Sections 3 and 29 at Yankee Stadium and Section
43, Main level, and Section 6, Ground level, at
the Polo Grounds. You will be able to obtain
various translations, concordances, Bible die
tionaries and other aids at these places. Maga
zines will be available in Section 41 at Yankee
Stadium and Section 2, Main level, in the Polo
Grounds.
BETHEL SERVICE
There will be a meeting of persons between

the ages of seventeen and thirty-five years who
are residents of the United States and unmarried and who are interested in entering Bethel
service in the United States. The meeting will
be held Thursday at 6 p.m. at the New Rockland
Palace adjacent to the Polo Grounds (see pages
21, 23).

you obtain your tray please follow the instructions of the attendants, who will direct you to
tables. When you finish your meal please do not
stand around and talk but take your tray to
tables where you may deposit the used trays
and cups. Then move on to the stadium or
somewhere else, inasmuch as space in the din
ing room will be at a premium. The crowds
should move quickly in order to accommodate
thousands of others that will also want to eat
at the cafeteria. There will be enough to accommodate all. Be patient. It will be helpful if
all do not endeavor to get to the cafeteria right
away. After the final session each night a 35c
snack lunch will be served up until 9:45 p.m.,
with exception of the final Sunday, when a regular meal will be served.
CAFETERIA
Cafeterias will operate at Yankee Stadium

and the Polo Grounds. They are located in tents
south of their respective stadiums. In addition
to this, another cafeteria dining room will be
located on the parking lot on River Avenue and
162nd Street. Brothers in the bleachers and
northern sections in Yankee Stadium will find it
more convenient to go to this dining room than
to the large dining room directly to the south
of Yankee Stadium. Those attending at the Polo
Grounds should go to the southeast corner of
the stadium and then follow the instructions of
the attendants in proceeding to the cafeteria.
As you approach the entrance of the cafeteria you will be able to purchase a meal ticket
to exchange for a tray filled with food. When

Time of Operation. Breakfast will be served

every morning beginning at seven o'clock and
will close ten to fifteen minutes before sessions
begin. The cafeteria will be closed during sessions. The noon meal will be served from 11: 30
a.m. to 1: 30 p.m., with the exception of those
days when there will be a morning program. In
this case the cafeteria will not open until the
morning meeting has been dismissed. The evening meals will be served from 4: 30 to 6: 30 p.m.
The same times will be observed at both stadiums. Identical menus will be served in both
cafeterias and all types of refreshments will be
the same in both stadiums.
On the final day of the convention the cafeteria will be open from 11:45 a.m. until 2:15
p.m. It will open again after the closing remarks by the president.
Refreshment Stands. There will be many refreshment stands throughout Yankee Stadium
and the Polo Grounds, as well as on the parking lots that are being used by the Society. You
will be able to obtain some kinds of food and
refreshment such as ice cream, beverages, sandwiches and other items. All refreshment stands
will be closed during sessions.
Pioneer Meals. Pioneers who have been on
the list since January 1, 1958, will obtain meal
tickets as a provision from the Society. You
may obtain these in Section 51 at Yankee Stadium. These tickets are not valid in the refreshment stands.
If all the brothers will bear in mind that the
cafeteria and refreshment stands, as well as all
the departments, will be closed during all sessions, there will be no confusion or reason to
be walking about in hallways. Please stay in
your seats and enjoy the spiritual food until the
conclusion of each session. All attend the assembly to be edified spiritually and this will include those who volunteer their services to make
it convenient and pleasant for you.
from all countries should attend these special

sessions for further instruction on the field
work. Branch servants and persons working in
the service department of any branch should
also attend.
CONVENTION REPORT
The Society is printing a complete 128-page

convention report. These may be ordered
through your congregation. The report is 30c a
copy. From time to time sixteen-page reports
will be released at the convention grounds at 5c
a copy. All these individual copies plus a sixteen-page photo section and a thirty-two-page
final report with beautiful cover will make up
the 30c copy of the 1958 convention report.
DEAF-MUTES
Programs at both Yankee Stadium and the

Polo Grounds will be interpreted for deaf-mutes
in Section 24 of the lower stands at Yankee
Stadium and Section 18 of the lower stand's at
the Polo Grounds.
Earphones will be set up at the same locations for those who are hard of hearing.
DISPLAY
You will be keenly interested in seeing the

beautiful display of The Watchtower and
Awake! in all languages. This will be located at
Yankee Stadium in Section 12 on the Mezzanine
level.
Photographs of the branch offices of the Society world-wide will be on display, half of them
at Yankee Stadium, Mezzanine, Section 10, and
half at the Polo Grounds, Ground level, Section 7.
A special display of "Let God Be True'' in
its forty-eight languages will be set up attractively in the Polo Grounds on the Ground level,
Section 7. This publication has been a basic textbook that has assisted thousands of people to
a knowledge of the truth.
Photographs of Kingdom Halls built by Jehovah's witnesses in the United States will also
be on display at Yankee Stadium, Mezzanine,
Section 10, and at the Polo Grounds, Ground
level, Section 7.
CHECKROOM
There will be a large checkroom in each stadium. The one at Yankee Stadium will be in
Sections 14 to 20, Basement level, and at the
Polo Grounds it will be in Section 1-A, Ground
level. Where brothers check out of their rooms
on the last day of the convention before the
final session it will be better for them to take
their baggage directly to the railroad station or
bus terminal from which they will be leaving
than to bring it to the convention grounds. If
you have anything to check you may do so, at
your own risk. The Society will not be responsible for any loss. The checkroom is operated as
a convenience.
FIELD SERVICE
Every publisher attending the Divine Will

International Assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses
will want to engage in field service. In addition
to talking about the good news to persons en
route to New York and on your return trip, you
should spend some time in the service while in
the convention city. Then be sure to turn your
report in to your home congregation. To facilitate field service while in New York it will not
be necessary to come to either of the stadiums
in the morning to obtain territory if you do not
wish to do so. There will be, however, a morning service at the stadiums and you will be able

GILEAD APPLICATIONS
The literature offer for the months of July

and August is two bound books and two booklets on a contribution of $1. This same combination may be used during the. assembly.
However, if you find it inconvenient to carry so
many publications during the assembly, you
may use the la test issues of both the Watchtower and Awake! magazines on a contribution
of lOc. Many publishers may be going directly
to the territory with automobiles and will have
no difficulty carrying an extra supply. The
Bookroom, Magazines and Field Service departments are located in the general location
of Sections 22 to 26, 32 to 34 and 41 to 43 on the
Ground level at Yankee Stadium and on the
Main level in Sections 1, 1-A and 2 at the Polo
Grounds.
It is advisable to arrange publishers in groups
and then designate one as a captain who will
be responsible for the territories. The territories
are clearly marked for the activity that is to
be carried on in them.
Where a publisher is living in a private home
he should take advantage of the opportunity to
present the literature to his host. Give him a
witness and try to start a Bible study. Above
all, be certain to invite him to the meetings
during the week and especially the Sunday
public meeting. If you start early enough in the
week to talk about the truth, it is quite possible
that a Bible study may be carried on with the
person where you are staying. Be systematic
about it and before you leave turn in the name
and address of this interested person to the
Field Service department so further attention
can be given the individual by the local congregation.
IMPORTANT. Field service reports for placements or time are NOT to be turned in at the
assembly. Be sure, however, to keep an accurate
record of all time witnessing to people while
you are coming to and returning from the convention, as well as the time spent in witnessing
during the assembly itself, and report it to your
own congregation by mail for July and again
in August, when you get back home.
Full-time publishers from all countries who

wish to make foreign missionary service their
life ministry career and who want to study at
Gilead in preparation for missionary service
may assemble Friday at 5:30 p.m. at New
Rockland Palace adjacent to the Polo Grounds
(see pages 21, 23). If you are between the ages
of eighteen and forty and in excellent health
and without dependents, you may qualify. You
will be admitted to the meeting by showing
your pioneer identification card.
IDENTIFICATION
Besides wearing a regular convention badge,

everyone at the convention should have personal identification papers, such as driver's license (if he has a car), registration card, or
passport, and the name and the address of the
people with whom he is staying. Volunteer
workers should carry their Identification and
Assignment card with them at all times. Where
identification ribbons are furnished, they should
be worn to assure ingress for any location
where they are entitled and required to go.
IMMERSION
All candidates for immersion should assemble

at Yankee Stadium not later than 8: 55 on
Wednesday morning for the discourse on baptism. They will be seated in the box seats in
Sections from 19 to 24. Each one should have
his own bathing suit and towel. The immersion
itself will take place at Orchard Beach, located
about ten miles from the stadium. The address
is Pelham Bay Park, the Bronx. Buses are
being arranged for by the Society and will be
dispatched to Orchard Beach from various locations around the stadium. Only candidates
for baptism will ride in the buses provided. If
others decide to attend they should do so by
private car. However, since other meetings immediately follow the immersion the rest of the
brothers are encouraged to attend the meetings.
There will be no registration of candidates. The
Immersion department will be located at Yankee Stadium in Section 3, Basement level.
ALL FIELD SERVICE REPORTS ARE TO BE

TURNED IN OR MAILED TO YOUR LOCAL CONGREGATION WHEREVER YOU LIVE IN THE
WORLD BEFORE AUGUST ENDS.
INFORMATION
Information desks at Yankee Stadium are located in Sections 3, 29 and 48, Ground level. At
the Polo Grounds they are located in Section
5, Ground level, and in Section 1-A, Main level.
New York city has excellent subway and surface transportation. The easiest and cheapest
way to travel is by the use of the subway, if it
is convenient to your living quarters. Subway
and bus fares in New York are 15c. Follow the
signs in the subway stations and you will not
get lost. If you are not sure, 2.sk other persons
or the conductor on the train.
FIRST AID
The First Aid department at Yankee Stadium

is located in Sections 2 through 6 on the Basement level. The department location in the Polo
Grounds is in Sections 1-A and 22, Ground level.
Keep in mind that this provision is for first aid
and emergency treatment only. It is not a place
to rest, nor is it a place for the treatment of
chronic cases; they will not be handled.

LOST AND FOUND
ORCHESTRA
This department is located on the Basement

level in Section 22 at Yankee Stadium and Section 1-A, Ground level, under the bleachers at
the Polo Grounds. Please bear in mind that
both stadiums are open to the public, so be very
careful about your belongings. Take care of
them. Do not leave them on seats. Beware of
pickpockets. They generally always mingle in
with large crowds. Even though you are assembling with your own brothers, others will
sneak in and try to steal. Be very careful with
your money, handbags, umbrellas, coats and
other belongings.
If you have lost any items of apparel, valuables, pocketbooks, jewelry, or otherwise, go
_to the Lost and Found department and inquire
for them. If you find such items, please turn
them in to the Lost and Found department.
There will be an orchestra in each stadium.

Those that have received assignments should
proceed to the Music department. If your assignment calls for you to play with the orchestra at Yankee Stadium, go directly to the Music
department located in Section 19, Basement
level. If in the Polo Grounds, go to the Music
department located in Section 8, Ground level.
PANORAMIC PICTURES
The Society will have no large pictures of the

convention or stadiums available during the
assembly itself. However, it has planned to
have a large panoramic picture of both the
Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium on one picture about 16" wide and 30" long. All congregations will certainly want to have one of these
pictures as a memento of the Divine Will In28
ternational Assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses

for their Kingdom Hall, and undoubtedly many
other individuals would like to have this photograph too. These may be ordered through your
congregation as a cash item at $3 each. No orders will be taken at the convention. If you
want a copy, order it through your congregation servant after the assembly.
ROOMING ACCOMMODATIONS
There will be a Rooming department handling

assignments of rooms at Yankee Stadium located under the bleachers in Sections 46 to 50.
At the Polo Grounds the department is on the
Main level in Section 1-A. Be certain that you
have on your person at all times the address of
the home where you are staying. Also, write
down the telephone number on a slip of paper or
in a special notebook. Do not depend on someone else to have th,is information for you. It is
possible that you may get lost from your own
group, so please know where you live.
PARKING
Parking space is extremely limited for cars in

the neighborhood of both stadiums. Each person will have to look after his own arrangements for parking his car. It is again suggested
that you park your car near some convenient
subway stop and proceed to either stadium by
subway, or regular bus transportation if the
latter is more convenient.
SERVING OVERSEAS
Many brothers are now interested in serving

where the need is great in other lands. If you
have questions relative to this service, visas, or
travel, you may get such information at the
Travel department located in the Polo Grounds,
Main level, Section 44-A.
PIONEER APPLICATIONS
Those desiring to enter the pioneer service

may obtain full information relative to this fulltime ministry by attending a meeting Wednesday at 6 p.m. at the New Rockland Palace adjacent to the Polo Grounds. Its location is

SURPLUS ITEMS

night, the beautiful flowers, shrubbery, etc.,
used around the stages at both stadiums will be
available to the brothers at wholesale rates.
After the final meal is served there will be surplus food items available as well in the dining

circuits are desirous of obtaining public-address
and cafeteria equipment. Such items will be
made available to the circuits upon ordering by
the circuit servant.

There will be a Post Office location at each

stadium. In Yankee Stadium it will be on the
Lobby level near Section 33. At the Polo

York Street if you travel on the "D" train. If

you are traveling on the IRT Seventh Ave. line,
you will use the Clark Street stop. Borough
Hall is the BMT and IRT Lexington Ave. line
station.
You may want to visit Gilead School on your
return trip home. The Watchtower Bible School
of Gilead is located on Route 34 in New York,
north of South Lansing (not far from Ithaca
in the Finger Lakes region). Gilead may be
visited any time during daylight hours on your
way home from the convention. There is no
provision for staying overnight. The Society
would appreciate it if those who are going to be
staying in New York a few days would visit the
Society's buildings on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday after the convention so that those
brothers who cannot remain after the assembly
can visit the home and factory during the four
mornings of the convention week, as indicated
above.
TRAVEL
VOLUNTEER SERVICE
Information on all chartered airplanes, steamships, special trains and buses may be obtained
at this department on the Main level, in Section
44-A, at the Polo Grounds. Representatives of
the various countries will be on duty at designated times to provide information to delegates
from abroad. Bear in mind that no announcements will be made over the loud-speaking system at either stadium concerning the time of
departure of any special trains, planes or buses
at the conclusion of the convention, or at any
other time. Groups should be sure to make their
own arrangements and each individual should
know when the party is to leave and point of
departure.
All non-U.S. citizens departing from the
United States, with the exception of Canadians,
must be in possession of U.S. Tax Clearance
forms. Delegates who traveled from Europe to
New York by chartered plane or steamship
should call at the Travel department to obtain
their clearance forms. All others may obtain information on getting clearance by coming to
the Travel department, where U.S. government
tax inspectors will be on duty during the convention.
During convention time a wonderful opportunity is afforded us in which we can serve our
brothers' needs and welfare during the assembly. Much assistance is required for a
well-functioning convention organization. The
Society is very appreciative of the volunteer
assistance that has already been received. Yet
bear in mind that much more will be required.
Whatever we do in behalf of our brothers
should be considered a manifestation of our
love for our brothers and Jehovah. {1 John 4:
20, 21) So we would suggest that you take advantage of this opportunity to share in the
volunteer service and help in whichever department you have had experience with or
would like to serve. Go to the Volunteer Service
department in Section 31, Lobby level, and
Section 52, Lobby level, at Yankee Stadium or
Section 5, Ground level, and Section 44-A, Main
level, in the Polo Grounds. We will require
many individuals for the Cleaning department,
others for serving in the Attendant department
to assist with moving the crowd properly and
orderly. Others will be required for serving food
in the cafeteria and refreshment stands and
for many other services. Would you not like to
volunteer your time and labors in behalf of the
convention organization? Keep in mind that
departments are closed during the sessions, so
almost everyone will have opportunity of taking in the spiritual food that Jehovah so graciously provides at the assembly. All of us want
to return home enriched with the good spiritual
food supplied here. When you volunteer you
will be told of the department to which you
should report and will accordingly be given an
identification card. We would suggest that you
report immediately and obtain your instructions concerning the hours that you are to serve.
VISITORS' DAYS
It will be possible for conventioners to visit

the Brooklyn offices of the Watch Tower Bible
and Tract Society at 124 Columbia Heights and
the factories at 117 Adams Street and 77 Sands
Street between the hours of 8 a.m. and 10:30
a.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday
of the convention week as well as between 8
a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, August 4, 5 and 6, after the conclusion of
the assembly. The nearest subway stations are
the High Street on the Independent {IND) line
if you are traveling on the "A" train, or at
30
When assigned, remember that those in charge

of the departments are depending on you to be
there. Dependability is a virtue.
This is an eight-day assembly, and when you
off er your services we expect you to stick to
your work. It will be hard work, but afterward
you will certainly be going away with a happy
feeling in your heart, knowing that you served

your brothers, as well as having come to take
in the spiritual food. Volunteer servants at the
Divine Will International Assembly can make
it possible for this to be the greatest assembly
of Jehovah's people to date. May Jehovah bless
you and give you strength.
