TRINIDAD 
In 
the 
face 
of 
certain 
restrictions 
put 
on 
the 
work 
in 
this 
British 
colony 
during 
the 
year 
we 
find 
from 
the 
year's 
report 
an 
increase 
in 
the 
work 
and 
results. 
There 
are 
now 
199 
publishers 
proclaiming 
the 
good 
news 
of 
the 
Kingdom, 
and 
these 
were 
prIvIleged 
to 
ptace 
in 
the 
hands 
of 
the 
people, 
to 
wit, 
358 
books 
and 
7,627 
booklets, 
making 
a 
grand 
total 
of 
7,985 
pIeces 
of 
literature. 
This 
is 
1,300 
more 
pieces 
than 
last 
year. 
The 
publIshers 
devoted 
much 
time 
to 
the 
Kingdom 
in­ 
terests, 
and 
particularly 
increased 
their 
back-call 
ac­ 
tivity, 
which 
shows 
a 
fair 
advance 
over 
the 
work 
effected 
in 
this 
field 
the 
preceding 
year. 
Barbados 
island 
also 
operates 
under 
the 
Branch 
office 
established 
at 
Trinidad, 
and 
the 
report 
from 
there 
is 
very 
gratifying 
also. 
During 
the 
year 
54 
pub­ 
lIshers 
were 
in 
the 
field. 
These 
brethren 
put 
out 
9,519 
pieces 
of 
literature, 
also 
pressing 
forward 
with 
the 
phonograph 
and 
recorded 
speech 
and 
improving 
on 
their 
back-call 
efforts 
over 
all 
previous 
times. 
Grenada, 
in 
the 
British 
West 
Indies, 
reports 
11 
pub­ 
lishers 
as 
having 
placed 
641 
publications. 
The 
general 
report 
shows 
a 
steady 
increase, 
by 
the 
Lord's 
grace. 
At 
St. 
Vincent 
island 
a 
distribution 
of 
435 
pieces 
of 
literature 
was 
made 
by 
two 
publishers 
during 
the 
year 
. 
.All 
together, 
every 
means 
is 
taken 
to 
see 
that 
the 
people 
in 
the 
British 
West 
Indies 
are 
given 
the 
blessed 
opportunity 
of 
hearing 
the 
truth 
in 
these 
urgent 
times

222 Yearbook TRINIDAD In the face of certain restrictions put on the work in this British colony during the year we find from the year’s report an increase in the work and results. There are now 199 publishers proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom, and these were privileged to place in the hands of the people, to wit, 358 books and 7,627 booklets, making a grand total of 7,985 pieces of literature. This is 1,300 more pieces than last year. The publishers devoted much time to the Kingdom interests, and particularly increased their back-call activity, which shows a fair advance over the work effected in this field the preceding year. Barbados island also operates under the Branch office established at Trinidad, and the report from there is very gratifying also. During the year 54 publushers were in the field. These brethren put out 9,519 pieces of literature, also pressing forward with the phonograph and recorded speech and improving on their back-call efforts over all previous times. Grenada, in the British West Indies, reports 11 publishers as having placed 641 publications. The general report shows a steady increase, by the Lord’s grace. At St. Vincent island a distribution of 485 pieces of literature was made by two publishers during the year. All together, every means is taken to see that the people in the British West Indies are given the blessed opportunity of hearing the truth in these urgent times immediately preceding the “battle of that great day of God Almighty”. The report from the Branch servant concerning the conditions as they appear is briefly set out herewith. I am glad to report that during another year the brethren in these parts have been rejoicing m Jehovah’s service. The difficulties grow, but with Armageddon so near they are being advised to redouble their efforts. In line with St Lowis, a convention was held at the island of Barbados August 10. The brethren here in Trinidad also met in a well-attended and enthusiastic convention the same day. At it, a local booklet entitled ‘‘The Strait of Jehovah’s witnesses in Trmdad’’ was released.
