which 
was 
almost 
equal 
to 
what 
was 
done 
during 
the 
entIre 
year 
of 
1932. 
More 
people', 
therefore, 
propor­ 
tIOnately, 
were 
reached 
durm~ 
1033 
than 
in 
any 
year, 
and 
today 
more 
people 
in 
Gernu:ny 
have 
some 
1m 
owl­ 
edge 
of 
God 
's 
klll~dom 
than 
at 
any 
other 
tIme. 
There 
has 
been 
a 
great 
lllcrcase 
of 
demand 
for 
a 
knowledge 
of 
God's 
klllguom, 
and 
this, 
of 
course, 
has 
angered 
Gog 
and 
his 
eluef, 
Satan, 
and 
the 
persecutIon 
has 
been 
earned 
forward. 
The 
specIal 
WItness 
period" 
have 
been 
responded 
to 
loyally 
and 
faIthfully 
by 
the 
workers 
in 
Germany. 
During 
the 
Thanksgivmg 
period 
of 
the 
remnant 
there 
were 
19,268 
,yorkers 
in 
the 
field, 
whIch 
is 
more 
than 
at 
any 
time 
prevIOUS. 
It 
is 
mteresting 
here 
to 
note 
that 
from 
1919, 
when 
the 
work 
was 
revIved 
m 
Ger­ 
many 
after 
the 
W 
orld

untIl 
the 
latter 
part 
of 
April, 
1933, 
books 
and 
booklets 
placed 
m 
the 
hands 
of 
the 
people 
in 
Germany 
aggregated 
48,000,000. 
In 
ad­ 
dItion 
to 
this, 
77,000,000 
copies 
of 
the 
Golden 
Age 
nagazme 
were 
placed 
in 
the 
h:::.nds 
of 
the 
people. 
There 
being 
only 
approximately 
15,000,0::lO 
famIlIes 
in 
Germany, 
that 
means 
an 
averace 
of 
3 
books 
or 
booklets 
and 
more 
than 
5 
copies 
of 
the 
periodicals 
to 
every 
family 
and 
in 
the 
hands 
of 
the 
people. 
In 
ad­ 
ditIOn 
to 
this 
there 
has 
been 
a 
hlrge 
dIStrIbutIon 
of 
free 
literature. 
It 
can 
be 
well 
said 
that 
Germany 
has 
received 
a 
witness 
more 
thoroughly 
probably 
than 
any 
other 
country 
under 
the 
sun. 
The 
last 
WItness 
perIOd 
observed 
III 
Germany 
was 
that 
of 
the 
ThanksgIvmg 
period 
from 
AprIl 
8 
to 
17. 
Durmg 
that 
time 
books 
and 
booklets 
were 
placed 
as 
follows: 
books, 
1l,G47, 
booklets, 
2,259,983, 
obtainers, 
1,921,341, 
and 
testnno­ 
llles 
given 
to 
the 
number 
of 
2,312,726. 
During 
the 
first 
part 
of 
the 
year 
a 
number 
of 
pubbc 
addresses 
were 
delIvered, 
at 
which 
the

showed 
Year Book 145 which was almost equal to what was done during the entire year of 1932. More people, therefore, proportionately, were reached during 1933 than in any year, and today more people in Germany have some knowledge of God’s kingdom than at any other time. There has been a great increase of demand for a knowledge of God’s kingdom, and this, of course, has angered Gog and his chief, Satan, and the persecution has been carried forward. The special witness periods have been responded to loyally and faithfully by the workers in Germany. During the Thanksgiving period of the remnant there were 19,268 workers in the field, which is more than at any time previous. It is interesting here to note that from 1919, when the work was revived in Germany after the World War, until the latter part of April, 1933, books and booklets placed in the hands of the people in Germany aggregated 48,000,000. In addition to this, 77,000,000 copies of the Golden Age magazine were placed in the hands of the people. There being only approximately 15,000,000 families in Germany, that means an average of 3 books or booklets and more than 5 copies of the periodicals to every family and in the hands of the people. In addition to this there has been a large distribution of free literature. It can be well said that Germany has received a witness more thoroughly probably than any other country under the sun. The last witness period observed in Germany was that of the Thanksgiving period from April 8 to 17. During that time books and booklets were placed as follows: books, 11,647, booklets, 2,259,983, obtaincrs, 1,921,341, and testimonies given to the number of 2,312,726.
