³ Nthawi yosangalatsa inafika pamene M’bale Rutherford anapempha anthu omwe anasonkhanawo kuti: “Onse amene akuyembekezera kudzakhala ndi moyo wosatha padzikoli aimirire.” M’bale wina yemwe analipo pamsonkhanowu ananena kuti pa anthu 20,000 omwe anasonkhanawo, anthu oposa 10,000 anaimirira. Kenako M’bale Rutherford anati: “Taonani, khamu lalikulu!” Atangotero, anthu onse pamsonkhanowo anafuula mosangalala.

M’malomwake ndinkayembekezera kudzakhala padziko lapansi n’kudzagwira nawo ntchito yolikonza kuti likhale paradaiso.” (Aroma 8:16, 17; 2 Akor. 1:21, 22) Kuchokera nthawi imeneyo, khamu lalikulu likuwonjezereka, ndipo lakhala likugwira ntchito ndi Akhristu odzozedwa omwe adakali padzikoli.
