On August 25, 1920, President Rutherford and others from Brooklyn began a lecture tour of Britain. The public address was entitled “Millions Now Living Will Never Die.” Up and down the land, packed halls, overflow meetings and thousands not getting in, marked the public response. This lecture was the high point of a four-day convention in London, where the brothers distributed more than 400,000 leaflets for a meeting that overflowed the Royal Albert Hall.

In 1922 came another tour of Britain by Brother Rutherford again to present the “Millions Now Living Will Never Die” lecture, and again to capacity audiences.

The seven-day assembly began on Tuesday, May 25, 1926, at the Alexandra Palace, London. In his lecture Rutherford predicted the disintegration of the British Empire, and this produced howls of protest later both from British sources and from some outside. Thirteen thousand people filled the Royal Albert Hall to hear “Why World Powers Are Tottering​—the Remedy,” which contained the resolution “A Testimony to the Rulers of the World.” In this public lecture Rutherford denounced the clergy-sponsored League of Nations and predicted its continued impotence and ultimate end. His remarks were widely published in the London Daily News.

This was the first convention in Britain to enjoy a book release. The second bound book from the pen of J. F. Rutherford, Deliverance, was made available to the conventioners. Referring to this new publication at its release, Rutherford said: “Some objections have been raised regarding the Harp of God in that it had not one word of criticism of this present world under Satan’s control. You will find that this book fully atones for any such omission.” And it did.
