@@@^“The ‘A Word to the Little Flock,” p. 12, places in post-probationary time ‘the day and night cry’ of the saints, represented by the angel’s cry to Jesus in Revelation 14:14, 15, thus making the saints to cry day and night in a time when they were ‘in the sight of a holy God without an intercessor.’ Speaking of this time, ‘Early Writings,” pp. 280, 281 says, ‘The last tear for sinners had been shed, the last agonizing prayer offered.’
Hosea 8:5
@@@^“There seems to be a contradiction between ‘A Word to the Little Flock’ and ‘Early Writings,” the one’s stating that after the close of probation ‘the saints will cry day and night to Jesus,” and the other’s stating that ‘in that fearful time . . . the saints were living in the sight of a holy God without an intercessor,” thus making it appear that they could not cry to Christ—offer any more prayers for deliverance. Please explain.”
Hosea 8:8
@@@^Those who have made the above statement must know more than we who are on Mt. Carmel, for no such statement has ever been made by us. There are nearly four hundred acres of land on this hill, and we believe that we can serve all God’s people regardless of color or race.
Hosea 8:9
@@@^Of course, it is better in the cities and communities for the two races to meet separately, because each has individual peculiarities which are not always so compatible when brought in too close relationship. Moreover, as there unfortunately exists color prejudice and racial restrictions, especially through the South, neither the one race nor the other could work so successfully together as apart for their own unconverted people, relatives, and friends. This of course is a fact recognized by both races and needs, therefore, no further explanation. However, this does not mean that colored and white brethren should never meet together, especially if the meeting be for believers only, which sort of occasion could not hinder any in becoming interested in studying the message and being converted to Christ, for there should be no racial prejudice among God’s people who are thoroughly converted.
Hosea 9:3
@@@^“Angels keep a faithful record of every man’s work, and as judgment passes upon the house of God, the sentence of each is recorded by his name, and the angel is commissioned to spare not the unfaithful servants, but to cut them down at the time of slaughter. . . . And the crowns they might have worn, had they been faithful, are put upon the heads of those saved by the faithful servants. . . ”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 1 p. 198.
Hosea 9:5
@@@^Our greatest burden should be to know that our tithe belongs to God’s storehouse, and to see that it is faithfully paid there, and not to watch to see how it is used. Nowhere in the Bible do we find that the Lord has laid upon us the duty to be guardians of His tithe. Furthermore, it is His own money, and who are we to instruct Him as to what He should do with it?
Hosea 9:6
@@@^The Lord’s treasury should be under God’s control, and if He Himself should not care how it is handled, it would be impossible for us to correct the evil regardless of how hard we might try, and much less could we help Him by withholding that which is His. If we guard carefully that part of the Lord’s work which is entrusted to us, we shall have all that we can do. Our only concern should be to find out where is His “storehouse,” and then faithfully deposit His money there, and, if it is@9 His@7 “storehouse,” He will, without a doubt, take care of His own, but if He does not care for the storehouse which you think is His, then either your conception of His storehouse is incorrect, or else He has moved it to another place. “Seek and ye shall find.”
Hosea 10:8
@@@^“Let those who gain . . . an experience in working for the Lord write an account of it for our papers, that others may be encouraged. Let the canvasser tell of the joy and blessing he has received in his ministry as an evangelist. These reports should find a place in our papers; for they are far-reaching in their influence. They will be as sweet fragrance in the church, a savor of life unto life. Thus it is seen that God works with those who cooperate with Him.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 6, p. 336.
Hosea 10:9
@@@^“But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.” (Matt. 3:7-9.)
Hosea 11:8
@@@^“Those who understand the laws of health and who are governed by principle, will shun the extremes, both of indulgence and of restriction. Their diet is chosen, not for the mere gratification of appetite, but for the upbuilding of the body. They seek to preserve every power in the best condition for highest service to God and man. The appetite is under the control of reason and conscience, and they are rewarded with health of body and mind. While they do not urge their views offensively upon others, their example is a testimony in favor of right principles. These persons have a wide influence for good.
Joel 2:1
@@@^Believing that “The institutions of human society find their best models in the word of God” (“Fundamentals of Christian Education,” p. 95), we are endeavoring to found at Mt. Carmel an academy patterned “after the order or example of the schools of the prophets.” (Id. 223.)
Joel 2:3
@@@^However, as the reestablishing of the schools of the prophets is still in process, we do not as yet have facilities either necessary or adequate to the teaching of all the courses prescribed in the Spirit of Prophecy. Nevertheless, we are striving to the end of gaining a knowledge of all of the subjects taught in the ancient schools of the Hebrews, chief among which were “the law of God, . . . sacred history, sacred music, and poetry” (“Patriarchs and Prophets,” p. 593), besides English, mathematics, bookkeeping, geography, physiology, etc., along with industrial training in “agriculture, manufactures,—covering as many as possible of the most useful trades,—also in household economy, healthful cookery, sewing, hygienic dressmaking, the treatment of the sick, and kindred lines.”—“Education,” p. 218.
Joel 2:6
@@@^We have set no arbitrary grade or amount of studying as a standard of attainment for the school. At no time during the student’s schooling is he presented with a diploma for having graduated from a lower to a higher grade. However, using wisely that knowledge which he has received, he can constantly improve, “reaching higher and still higher,” finally receiving “the very best diploma that anyone can have,—“the endorsement of God,” which will secure for him, “his passport from the preparatory school of earth to the higher grade, the school above” (“Education,” p. 19).
Joel 3:5
@@@^“Words fail me to express my gratitude for the privilege that I have of associating from day to day with the company here at Mt. Carmel. To see, as the scroll unrolls, the working out of God’s Providences; to witness the battle raging between the forces of darkness and the heralds of light; to have a part in the training of the most wonderful group of youth that I have ever met, is my happy and exalted lot.
Joel 3:11
@@@^“Truly, we have a wonderful message, one that changes our thoughts and desires. Before I received present truth, (when I was still a regular member of the Adventist church), I spent my time seeking for amusement, but now, studying God’s Word, and striving to know and do His will, has taken the place of parties, tennis, basketball, baseball, radio, fashion, and numerous other things of the world.
Joel 4:2
@@@^‘The one who understands the art of properly preparing food, and who uses this knowledge, is worthy of higher commendation than those engaged in any other line of work. This talent should be regarded as equal in value to ten talents, for its right use has much to do with keeping the human organism in health.’—M. S.—95—’01. All this being true, the school on Mt. Carmel could not fulfill God’s requirements did it not, in a practical way, teach this subject to its students.
Joel 4:6
@@@^“However, because of the Laodicean ways which still cling to us, we are a long way from being as God. But in spite of this fact, we are progressing toward that high standard which the Lord has set for us, and we earnestly solicit your prayers that we might go through the purifying fire, coming out as ‘fine gold’, and having attained that Christian character which will enable us to ‘follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth.’ @3Sarah Bigelow
Joel 5:8
@@@^“Mt. Carmel is a beautiful place, surrounded by hill and valley and tree, which I enjoy very much. Moreover, I am grateful for the privilege of being here, for here the statement is surely fulfilled that ‘God can teach us more in one moment than all of the great men of the earth.’ (‘Testimonies to Ministers,’ p. 119.) Also, I enjoy reading ‘The Symbolic Code,’ for it is a great help to me.
Joel 5:18
@@@^@@I love Mt. Carmel Academy,@0Surrounded by hill, and vale, and tree,@0Whence some have wearily walked and trod@0To learn more of our loving God;@0And here upon this sacred spot,@0Prepare themselves in heart and thought,@0To spread the tidings far and nigh@0That all may live and never die.@0And let the Devil’s siren song@0Allure me from that happy throng,@0Preparing here below on earth@0To sing beyond the song of mirth!@4Dorothy Pinon, age 9.
Joel 6:2
@@@^In like manner, the great apostle to the Gentiles, who, upon meeting Jesus for the first time, made inquiry as to what he would do, and who, further, desiring to reach a higher standard, set for himself a goal, or resolved that he would remember not the “things which are behind,” but would “press toward the mark,” even the “high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” This determined purpose was so sacredly guarded all through his life that when the eventide came, he was able to say, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” Our pledges or vows are no less binding than were those of Christ and Paul.
