5:2

@@@^He is aware that God’s Kingdom is made up of “mature” Christians, “not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing.” He therefore never wastes his time looking for specks or beams in another’s eye (Matt. 7: 1-5). If anything, he searches to see that there is nothing in his own eye. He knows that God has not made him a judge of His people, or corrector of heretics. He does what Truth says, and those who wish to fall in line may do so, but he never tries to push them over to his side.

4:2

@@@^“I saw that if any held on to their property, and did not inquire of the Lord as to their duty, He would not make duty known, and they would be permitted to keep their property , and in the time of trouble it would come up before them like a mountain to crush them, and they would try to dispose of it, but would not be able. I heard some mourn like this: ‘The cause was languishing, God’s people were starving for the truth, and we made no effort to supply the lack; now our property is useless. Oh, that we had let it go, and laid up treasure in heaven!’ I saw that a @9sacrifice@7 did not increase, but it decreased and was @9consumed@7, I also saw that God had not required all of His people to dispose off their property at the same time, but if they desired to be taught, He would teach them, in a time of need, when to sell and how much to sell. Some have been required to dispose of their property in times past to sustain the Advent cause, while others have been permitted to keep theirs until a time of need, Then, as the cause needs it, their duty is to sell.”-“Early Writings,” page 57.

9:1

@@@^When this field worker asked one minister if he believed the Seventh-day Adventist church was the Laodicean church spoken of in Revelation 3:14, he answered in the affirmative. Then he was asked who the “angel” of this church represented. The minister said the “angel” represented Christ. Then the field worker asked him if he was willing to apply to Christ the description of being wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked given to this “angel” in the book of Revelation. He still insisted the “angel” was Christ, closing his eyes to the truth that the “angel” represents the present Seventh-day Adventist church leadership. Apparently he would rather have Christ wrong than himself.

9:3

@@@^In dealing with the laity it was found, generally speaking, that those in the smaller churches were more cordial and receptive than those in the larger congregations. Since the ministry is not at all receptive to the additional Truth, whereas a fairly good percentage of the laity are, this shows that the eyes of all the people have not been closed.

11:2

@@@^Those who have recently accepted the Davidian Truth and are supporting the timely message and living out its principles, should request the Davidian Association to send them an application blank for fellowship. A Certificate of Fellowship will be granted upon satisfactorily filling out the application.

11:3

@@@^The applicant must be striving to be an overcomer—to be freed from sin, to keep the Truth, and to continue in the race; striving @9not@7 to fall, but resolving , in case he should fall, to rise again and to press on more determined than ever to reach the goal. He must be able thus conscientiously to sign the application for fellowship.

15:1

@@@^@@“Dear Brothers and Sisters:@^“Sisters ____ and I returned after 39 days on a missionary trip. The Lord surely was with us, protecting us , and His Holy Spirit impressed hearts with the Truth for this time without which all our words would have been sounding brass and tinkling symbols.

15:2

@@@^“We took God at his Word, if you go right to work in the name of the Lord in a humble way doing what you can to teach the truth, God will vindicate you’ and ‘everyone is required to work to the extent of his ability. Every worldly consideration should be laid aside for the glory of God.’

17:3

@@@^@@“Mr. V. T Houteff@0Mount Carmel Center@0Waco, Texas@8@0Dear Sir:@^“With much pleasure I write this letter to you. I went to ____ and there I found many S.D.A.’s. I stayed with them three weeks preaching unto them about the message of the Eleventh Hour. I’m telling the truth, the whole church believed because I brought them the new interpretation. I have names and addresses of some. Send them tracts. Please try to help these thirsting souls. In ____ they are still calling me to go and help them.

5:5

@@@^“Since marriage is in reality an extension of creation, the means of upbuilding the Kingdom of God, it must be entered into intelligently and in the fear of the Lord if it is to have God’s blessing and if the home is to prosper. A present-Truth believer who enters upon marriage for any reason other than God’s reason, or for a purpose irrelevant to His business, is sure to fail in one respect or another. It is therefore exceedingly important that the officiating minister make certain that the individuals who seek the rite of marriage are intelligently and in the fear of God venturing life together.

7:1

@@@^As Brother Bingham was unable to remain in the Bahamas (Brother Holmes’ native land) until the hunting job was finished there, Brother Holmes made an offer to pay for Brother Warden’s transportation from Mt. Carmel to Nassau and back if he would go there with his car. So arrangements were made for Brother Warden to go, and he left on February 28, where he remained until April 30. Through this combined effort more than a dozen souls embraced the Truth.

10:3

@@@^“The battle is raging more and more against us here, as the leading brethren and church members are getting to realize that they are not merely fighting against two young ladies who might appear very small in their eyes, but rather against God’s Truth and his judgment message to the people of God at this time.

16:3

@@@^“Since my arrival at Mt. Carmel, I have had the privilege of meeting many fine, interesting people who have all the appearance of being a dedicated group. At my first introduction to the religious activities of Mt. Carmel, I was impressed with the number of earnest young people present, in comparison with the young people of the mother church, who many times possess a subversive attitude toward their church activities. My purpose here at Mt. Carmel is to attain not only a thorough knowledge of present Truth doctrines but also a spiritual foundation and experience that will fit me to give the Message to the church and the world-with the ultimate goal of a heavenly home.”- A new student from California.

16:4

@@@^“The impression I received when I arrived at Mt. Carmel was of a people with a Christ-like spirit, who are striving to enter in at the strait gate; a people who praise God the @9Rod@7 did arrive to reform and revive; a people who are making their calling and election sure by setting their affections on things above. My goal, hope, and aspiration is to ‘study’ to shew [myself] approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of Truth.’ My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. I desire to remain faithful and to continue to strive to enter in at the strait gate, and be among those who will stand with the Lamb on Mount Sion.”—A new student from Mississippi.

17:2

@@@^“While visiting here for the first time, one of the believers took my mother, two sisters, and myself out near the Mt. Carmel dam. On our way out there, she told us that a highway was being built to the Kingdom. All sorts of ideas came into my mind concerning this highway, but now I can understand more clearly what it all meant. Several weeks ago I received a letter from Mt. Carmel, stating when the ministerial class would begin and what the requirements were. Just then I made up my mind to enroll. Now I am here, and I firmly believe it is the Lord’s will. My greatest ambition is to take the course, make a success of it, and go out and preach it to our Laodicean brethren — those who are seeking present Truth. My greatest hope is to gain many souls for God’s Kingdom and to reach the same goal myself through the help and power of the Lord.”—A new student from Texas.

@@@^@@I asked the guard above the watchman’s gate,@0“O tell me, watchman, tell me of the night.”@0The watchman said, The hour is getting late;@0O’er in the east I see the gleams of light.@0The ordered constellations of the stars,@0Give certain proof the day is soon to break.@0But, lo!!
