Doubtless all the village came to hear the talk, as there were 475 in attendance.

“The next day we walked another two miles through the bush to Bereku. The brush was so thick that it was like walking through a tunnel; it being so dark I could not take any pictures. A native Methodist clergyman hearing one of the young witnesses read from the Bible sent for me. He asked how it was that so many of our people could read when he had been instructing boys a long time in the Methodist school and these could not read nearly as well as did our people. The young witness spoke for himself and gave a sufficient answer. There were 232 that came to hear the public talk at Bereku.

“From there I traveled to Winneba, a village near a beach and of some 15,000 population, where, on Sunday, the largest crowd ever gathered to hear the public lecture. There, a young lad, after hearing a previous lecture, told his fisherman father: ‘We made that boat with our own hands and now we are sacrificing to it. I learned today that this is wrong and I’m not going to do it again.’”

‘Let Each One Watch How He Builds’

THE Scriptures speak of Jehovah God as a builder or constructor. “Every house is constructed by someone, but he that constructed all things is God.” They also speak of Christ Jesus as a builder. “On this rock-mass I will build my congregation, and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.” Christ’s followers are spoken of as being both God’s building and his fellow workers: “For we are God’s fellow workers.

But let each one keep watching how he is building on it. For no man can lay any other foundation than what is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on the foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood materials, hay, stubble, each one’s work will become manifest, for the day will show it up, because it will be revealed by means of fire, and the fire itself will prove what sort of work each one’s is. If anyone’s work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward; if anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved; yet, if so, it will be as through fire.”—1 Cor. 3:10-15, NW.

To whom are these words addressed? Primarily “to the congregation of God that is in Corinth, to you who have been sanctified in union with Christ Jesus, called to be holy ones, together with all who everywhere are calling upon the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ”.
