@@@^Then from Pennsylvania writes Sr. Dundore: “I have been studying the SRod and am persuaded that God is sending a message to awaken His church, but am sad to think that our leading brethren are turning down such a plain truth. Our pastor says that a copy of the SRod was sent to him but that he destroyed it without looking into it! O how terrible to condemn that of which he knows nothing!
Judges 4:12
@@@^@0Dear Bro. and Sr. H____________:@^We are glad that you have found help in the message of the SRod and that you realize that it is best not to leave the S.D.A. church but to help spread the reformatory message within, which position the SRod takes. Evidently you have not read that part of our literature which plainly proves from the Word of God that we must not separate ourselves from the churches though some would even attempt to make us do so by force. Read SRod, Vol. 1, pp. 245-252; SRod, Vol. 2, p. 233, and our tract #4, “The Latest News for Mother.” We hope and pray that you will be able to reach many of our brothers and sisters within the church.
Judges 5:1
@@@^@0Dear Brother K_______:@^We do not have anything published which would directly answer the objections against the SRod as found in the above mentioned tract, but those objections being about the same as the one entitled, “A Reply to The Shepherd’s Rod” you will find our answer to it in our tract #3, “The Harvest,” and tract #4, “The Latest News for Mother.” These tracts do not only contain an answer to those of objections, but also a message for God’s church. Please study them carefully and we feel certain that you will be pleased with the contents therein.
Judges 7:5
@@@^To this end we should always have at command the ensuing group of statements which will always compel the honest mind that believes in the Spirit of Prophecy to lay aside the implements of warfare until it has come and given a fair hearing to what you have to present. “Testimonies on Sabbath School Work,” (abbreviated TSSW, a little book which, if you have not, you ought by all means procure as soon as possible from your Book and Bible House), page 59: “Listen with candor...; p. 60,“When new light...; p. 65, “Precious light...; p. 65, “If a message comes...; p. 66 (complete page); T.M. 69-70 “Preaching Contrary to Established Doctrines.” 5 T 728 (full page); T.M. 106-7 “But beware of rejecting...; T.M., pp. 108-10; G.W. 300-1, 303-4; T.M. 476 “Brethren, we must... ; M. to Y.

I feel like fleeing from the place lest I receive the mold of those who cannot candidly investigate the doctrines of the Bible. Those who cannot impartially examine the evidences of a position that differs from theirs, are not fit to teach in any department of God’s work.”–R. & H., Vol. 67, No. 7, February 18, 1890. See also tract #4, pp. 80-84.
Judges 8:1
@@@^(4) Take the main subjects treated of in the Rod, i.e., the sealing of the 144,000, Ezek. 9, purification of church, sealing of great multitude, judgment of living, and present them as forcibly as possible. Clear these main points so they stand out like mighty beacon lights that cannot be escaped. Then when this is done, read one or two statements such as the following: G.C. 527 “While God...; G.C. 528 “There is...; 5 T 690 “Those who...; 5 T 68-9 “If you...; 3 T 255 “The True Witness...; 3 T 258 “The word...; P.P. 290 “We should obey...; 5 T 729 “It is...; 5 T 486 “Has the Lord...; 5 T 94 “Gather up...; 1 T 262 “We must walk...Having done this, you leave the individual without a vestige of footing upon which to stand and cavil over inconsequentials and recondite points which one needs much discernment to understand.
Judges 8:7
@@@^Then you may present the matter yet from this angle if necessary: We are sent “to the lost sheep of the house of Israel,” and it “is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs.” (Matt. 15: 24, 26.) God has not sent us “into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans,” but to the church, and He has commanded: “Bring ye @9all@7 the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in @9Mine house@7.” The storehouse is where present truth is, and as we bear present truth–meat in due season–then the Rod must be the storehouse, and the Lord says “Bring ye @9all@7 the tithes into the storehouse.”
Judges 8:8
@@@^Then, too, you might well reason with the individual along this wise: “Suppose we should all feel that our tithes must go to the treasury at Tacoma Park, then how would the message ever reach the endangered souls in our churches? God is not desirous at this time to bring the unconverted into the church to meet the fearful slaughter of Ezekiel Nine, but is exceedingly anxious to save His church.
Judges 8:9
@@@^Let only those who do not yet have light on the sealing of the 144,000 support the church in its present activities,–in its round of formalities, goal getting, devisings, etc., and those who have the light let them “follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth.” There is the past message and the fresh message. “God does not want any man to think that no other message is to be heard but that which he may have given. We want the past message and the fresh message.” R. & H., March 18, 1890. Let each side follow the course of supporting that which they believe present truth (after all, the inevitable course), then the interests neither of the one nor the other will suffer.
Judges 8:10
@@@^“Moreover,” we might continue to reason, “what success do you suppose we could hope for in getting the sealing message to the church if we should support that side which is rising against us like the waves of the sea? No, my Brother, if we should continue paying our tithe to them, we would not only be weakening our power against the enemy, but also our position with the message we bear, for then they would think, and justly so, that if we had something vital to their salvation, we would dare not before heaven do other than place our gifts to the advancement of the present message and not the past message. To do the latter would, instead of winning the sheep, not only drive them away, but also would strengthen the forces of the enemy and weaken God’s, for no man can fight his adversaries by lending them his weapons with which to stand strong against him.”
Judges 9:1
@@@^The instruction in the SRod, Vol. 1, p. 251, regarding tithe, proves that we have payed our honest part all the way. It says that the tithe should be paid to the old S.D.A organization. But now since the leading part of the denomination has rejected the sealing message of the 144,000 and is passing on to the people a pseudo refutation of its subject matter to justify their actions, doing all they can to prevent the people from coming in contact with the message, the action of the SRod in calling not only for the tithe but also for the offerings to be brought in for the support of the message of present truth is Divinely approved and justified, for present truth has always constituted God’s “storehouse.”
Ruth 1:4
@@@^“But beware of rejecting that which is truth. The great danger with our people has been that of depending upon men, and making flesh their arm. Those who have not been in the habit of searching the Bible for themselves, of weighing evidence, have confidence in the leading men and accept the decisions they make; and thus many will reject the very messages God sends to His people, if these leading brethren do not accept them.
Ruth 1:5
@@@^“No one should claim that he has all the light there is for God’s people. The Lord will not tolerate this. He has said: ‘I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it.’ Even if all our leading men should refuse light and truth, that door will still remain open. The Lord will raise up men who will give the people the message for this time.” (“Testimonies to Ministers,” pp. 106, 107.)
Ruth 1:6
@@@^In the light of these clear, positive warnings against rejecting truth because men in high office do not accept it, may every Seventh-day Adventist minister and layman search his own heart in the light of his own Bible, before condemning “The Shepherd’s Rod” Message as heresy. Have the other 2174 ordained ministers made an earnest and prayerful investigation of “The Shepherd’s Rod” Message as has Elder E. T. Wilson? Surely, to be fair to themselves, honest with the people, and true to God, they should do so before branding him as a heretic, and before barring him from the homes of the people.
Ruth 1:9
@@@^In fulfillment of the above promise I wish to relate a few experiences showing His tender watch care over the work and the workers. Early in the year, when beginning to labor in Loma Linda, the first brother we met at that place told us that we had come to “the valley of dry bones.” As the days went by we realized more and more how terribly true this was. Nevertheless, we could see occasional signs of life, and though at one time it looked as if we must move on to another field, we continued to work and pray, with the result that God rewarded us by resurrecting several for a memorial as firstfruits in that locality.
Ruth 2:3
@@@^“’The Lord can spread a table in the wilderness.’ Under His direction food will go a long way. When we place ourselves in right relation to Him, He will help us, and the food we eat in obedience to Him will satisfy us. We can subsist on very much less than we think we can, if God’s blessing is on the food; and if it is for His glory, He can multiply it.”–”Counsels on Health,” p. 495.
Ruth 2:4
@@@^In opening my mail the next morning, there I found a one dollar bill! The Lord knoweth what things we have need of before we ask Him. “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?...Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:).” (Matt. 6:25-32.)
Ruth 2:5
@@@^Upon returning from a journey some time later, I again knew not whence my next meal was coming, and as I unpacked my books, there seemed to be a leaf turned down in my Bible. Upon examining it, there I found two one dollar bills! And several times since, when just about at the point of necessity, letters have come which, when opened, gave material assurance that God cares for those who put their trust in Him.
Ruth 3:8
@@@^Besides making this first hand investigation, I have studiously read Vol. 1 of the SRod twenty-one times, and Vol. 2 about fifteen times. I have also read the four tracts that are now in circulation, and I can testify that the reports we hear against him and his writings I have found to be baseless and false. My investigation of the publications and the man convinces me beyond question that God has given him a message for the S.D.A. church, and I want to be in line with those who are endeavoring to bring it before the people.
Ruth 4:1
@@@^It has been about sixteen months since I got hold of the first volume of the SRod. I have read it along with the other publications several times, and the more I read the clearer it becomes, and my heart is filled with gratitude to God for the wonderful truths I have found.
Ruth 4:7
@@@^“Those who are enjoined to represent the attributes of the Lord’s character, step from the Bible platform, and in their own human judgment devise rules and resolutions to force the will of others. The devisings for forcing men to follow the prescriptions of other men, are instituting an order of things that overrides sympathy and tender compassion; that blinds the eyes to mercy, justice, and the love of God. Moral influence and personal responsibility are trodden underfoot.
