The House of Justice appreciates that many of the voters at
a district election may have a limited acquaintance with the believers of the
area, although naturally they will do all they can during the year to follow
the news of the work of the Faith and the activities of their fellow believers.
All that any voter can do is to vote for those among the believers who are
known to him either personally or by reputation, trusting in God to produce
ultimately the best result for the Faith.
