Annual Report For French-Speaking Countries

"Dear Bro. Jolly: Motto text for 1974! I am writing this report after our French Home Gathering at Lens. The Polish, Belgian and Swiss gatherings are held respectively at Auchel, Dampremy-Charleroi and Vallorbe. Emphasis was put in the programs on the Parousia and the Epiphaneia (both from religious and secular viewpoints). The brethren were quite conscious of the exceptional solemnity of these Home Gatherings, marking the first centenary of Christ's Return and Thousand-year Reign, and emphasizing the gigantic works accomplished during that first century by our dear Savior and present King (including the Gospel Harvest reaping and the glorification of the Body of Christ, the manifestation—epiphanizing—of the Parousia of Christ to the Great Company and the Youthful Worthies as classes, the building of the Epiphany Camp, the Time of Trouble since 1914, the gradual overthrowing of Satan's empire and the general shaking of Great Babylon)."—Excerpt from Marcel Caron's report, PT January-February, 1975.
