There are some conventions that have never been forgotten by those who were present. One of these was held in Mexico City on April 13-15, 1945. None of the delegates arrived in a personally owned automobile. More than 200 came on a train from Monterrey. A sign on the outside of one of the coaches announced where they were going, and at stops all along the way the delegates witnessed to vendors and curious folk who came alongside. To get to the convention, a family group with a baby walked from their home in Chihuahua for seven days and then took the railroad. N. H. Knorr and F. W. Franz were also on hand, from the world headquarters in New York. On the first day of the convention, 717 of the 1,107 present were out in the field service to announce the public discourse, “One World, One Government,” to be given by Brother Knorr at the Arena México. And that talk was given successfully, despite efforts of Catholic hecklers to break up the meeting.

Another such heartwarming convention was held in Mexico City, in 1966, when hundreds of delegates from about a dozen other lands traveled to Mexico to join their brothers there for the largest convention sponsored by La Torre del Vigía in Mexico up to that time. More than 30 times as many were present on this occasion as had been in attendance in Mexico City for the convention in 1945.
