Rutherford Surrounds Self With Yes Men!
by VM44 in"pursuing my purpose in life, as told by hazel o. burford" w55 11/1, pgs 653-656. in 1941, when working isolated territory in western kentucky, we attended the zone (now circuit) assembly at cape girardeau, missouri.
while preparing the evening meal in the cafeteria i was called to answer a long-distance telephone call offering me the privilege of helping to nurse brother rutherford, then very ill in a hospital in elkhart, indiana.
shocked by news of his illness, overwhelmed by tremendous responsibility i would be expected to shoulder, my first reaction was to refuse; but, ever fearful of refusing an assignment for fear another would not be given, i prayerfully accepted.
