An easily recognized vehicle in the cities was the “Red Terror,” a bright-red panel van with a large sound horn mounted on top. Bert Horton, in turn a regional service director, zone servant and finally a member of the Bethel family, along with his wife, Vi, operated this outstanding vehicle for many years. In one year almost every street in Melbourne resounded with stirring exposures of false religion.

Such work ideally suited Brother Horton, who was affectionately known in every state of the country as “Armageddon Horton.” This was because of his fiery talks and his encouragement to the brothers everywhere to put Kingdom interests first in view of the imminence of Armageddon. Bert Horton and his wife were fine living examples of doing this very thing, and Bert served faithfully at Bethel in his advancing years until his death in 1972. Sister Horton continues on as a member of the Bethel family and still does her day’s work at the age of 78.
