But the principal idea was to leave literature with no thought of calling back to encourage Bible study, except in unusual cases where interest definitely was manifested. Even then, personal home Bible studies were not conducted. Rather, these people would be invited to come to the common meeting place for group studies. Believing that Armageddon would come very shortly, the brothers endeavored to cover as much territory as possible with the Kingdom message in printed form.

After his release, one faithful brother felt an overwhelming happiness, not because of escaping further persecution, but for having remained faithful. He thought: “This is the way one would feel after passing through Armageddon.” And so his heart was filled with hope.
