A BOLD INDICTMENT AGAINST THE CLERGY - Contiinie

 Summing up the effect of the convention, The Watch Tower stated: "This little army of the Lord assembled at the Columbus Convention went away strengthened in faith . . . , invincible to any power or fiery darts that enemy may launch against them." Leo Claus, who attended the convention, recalled: "We left the assembly feeing enthusiastic about distributing the indictment in our territory." 

In October, the Bible Students began distributing millions of copies of the tract Ecclesiastes Indicted, the printed version of what Brother Rutherford had presented. In the small town of Cleveland, Oklahoma, Frank Johnson finished distributing the tracts 20 minutes before he was to be picked up by the publishers. He just couldn't wait in the open because men from town who were angered by his preaching work were looking for him. Brother Johnson decided to hide in a nearby church. Finding it empty, he left copies of Ecclesiastes Indicted in the preacher's Bible and at each seat. He exited the church as quickly as he had come. He still had some time, so he visited two more churches, following a similar pattern.
