Page 24 of 56Psalms 4:2
@@@^Thus we have seen it demonstrated time and again that the message does not propagate itself, but only moves forward as a result of much faith, effort, and prayer. But the reward of joy we received at the Lord’s hand words fail us to express as we saw the thirsty sheep with notebooks and pencils who carefully jotted down all the references while their faces lightened up with every ray of increased light. These are now burdened to pass on to “Mother” the blessings they have received.
Psalms 6:7
@@@^One of the oldest members of the Charleston, S.C. church, after becoming interested in “The Shepherd’s Rod” message, was visited by the pastor, and a General Conf. Field Secretary, who gave the interested party a copy of “A Warning Against Error,” telling her not to let any of the “Shepherd Rod” folk see it. This instruction she faithfully carried out. But in the meantime, she had come into possession of “Testimonies to Ministers,” together with all the volumes of “The Testimonies for the Church,” and to her great surprise, she found the truth of “The Shepherd’s Rod” taught in these books also and that the “A Warning Against Error” was not only contradictory to “The Shepherd's Rod” but also to the Spirit of Prophecy! Therefore, at her first opportunity, during the fifteen minute missionary service in the church, on Sabbath, this sister arose and asked permission to speak, and her request was granted by the pastor of the church.
Psalms 11:1
@@@^“But the days of purification of the church are hastening on apace. God will have a people pure and true....Those who have trusted to intellect, genius, or talent, will not @9then@7 stand at the head of rank and file....They are self-sufficient, independent of God, and He can not use them...The Lord has faithful servants, who in the shaking, testing time will be disclosed to view....But, it may be under a rough and uninviting exterior the pure brightness of a genuine Christian character will be revealed.”
Proverbs 3:7
@@@^You may not understand all there is about it, but that would not excuse you from doing faithfully the little things which you already perfectly know. Start with the A B C’s in the science of reform as you would in a grade school, gradually climbing up the ladder of perfection as you would from the first grade up to a course in a university. As you are unable to understand in the schools of the world the higher grades ahead of the lower, so you will never learn all the science in physiology or the mysteries in the laws of God from its heights down or all at once. Moreover, if you are not willing to do correctly the little things in life, what will it compel you to agonize in prayer for the power you need to accomplish the great thing?
Proverbs 4:2
@@@^“When our church leaders voted out Brother G’s membership for no other reason than his faith in this added light to the Third Angel’s Message and as they justified themselves while going contrary to divine authority, it is enough to convince any one that our brethren have turned their backs ‘against Christ their Leader.’” (“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 5, p.217.) @3(Signed) J. N. K.
Proverbs 4:3
@@@^@@Dear Brethren in Christ: @^“Words can not express my joy and delight and appreciation for the good work of The Shepherd’s Rod. I am convinced that it spells lost or saved to any one who ever reads it. It certainly is the last message for our people (the Seventh-day Adventist) to awaken them to a realization of their own condition. Oh, may the Lord help us to study this light more and fully accept it by His grace and by faith. I love it and may His blessings abide with you and all who study it. It is what we have needed for a long time and may I add this? If you need money for support call on me and what little I can give, by His grace, I shall be glad to help.” @3(Signed) E.W.
Proverbs 7:4
@@@^“Make your complaint, plainly and openly, in the right spirit, to the proper ones. Send in your petitions for things to be adjusted and set in order; but do not withdraw from the work of God, and prove unfaithful, because others are not doing right.” (9T 249.)
Proverbs 7:5
@@@^Our only aim in life is to be true to the Word of God–the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy–faithful in our duties and a blessing to His people–we have no other plans. Therefore, we take the liberty of perusing the pages to which our attention is called with intention to comply strictly with the instruction found therein.
Ecclesiastes 1:5
@@@^We most heartily thank Mt. Carmel’s friends for their co-operation and faithfulness in all lines of the work in this sealing message, and as it has been quite cold lately, we have especially appreciated the articles of clothing and bedding that were sent us.
Ecclesiastes 1:7
@@@^Trusting that by your hearty cooperation and by our enduring faithfulness we shall not retard the Lord’s most important work, upon which the fate of His church depends, but without delay prepare this hill for His “dwelling place” and for a refuge to His needy children as well as for preparing an army of workers to go forth “clad in the armor of Christ’s righteousness,...’fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners,...into all the world, conquering and to conquer.”
Ecclesiastes 2:7
@@@^It is a real pleasure to find in this section of the field all those “standing in the light” true to the message and faithful to their post of duty, working and praying for their dear brethren and sisters in the church, which is the Lord’s “only object upon earth” upon which Christ lavishes His “supreme regard.”
Ecclesiastes 2:9
@@@^The solemn work that is committed to us compels us to earnestly plead with all who have accepted this precious “present truth” that they be faithful, for the mere acceptance of the theory of the message will not save any of us. We are indeed now in the “eleventh hour” call, and just as the Lord demonstrated to the Jews of old how “Justice and Mercy met together and Righteousness and Peace kissed each other,” so we are soon to see how God is to answer the question raised by the old gospel prophet when he asked:
Ecclesiastes 3:2
@@@^How solemn indeed are these words, and the fact that “the closing work for the church” will soon be over, shall we who know this “startling denunciation” which God in His mercy is sending to the “angel of the church of the Laodiceans” (3 T 253) allow anything to turn us from the work of warning the angel and the church of the storm that shall “sweep away the refuge of lies” (Isa. 28:17) and be counted with the false brethren who are to be taken away by the slaughter weapons of Ezekiel Nine? (5T 211) or shall we do our part faithfully so that the Lord may set the S.D.A.’s as “light bearers” in all the world? (P.K. 725)
Ecclesiastes 6:7
@@@^@@Dear Brethren: @^In the absence of our regular leader, in prayer meeting last night a lay member was called upon to hold the service. He talked about false churches and then about the true church and said, “The true church is the one which keeps the commandments of God and has the faith of Jesus.” Though not out loud, in our hearts we said amen. Attention was called to “The Shepherd’s Rod” and after asking him questions, he supposed we (six of us) were against the Rod’s teachings but when he found that we were adherents to it he immediately closed the meeting and never talked any more about it.
Ecclesiastes 7:5
@@@^@@Dear Brethren: @^We find ourselves in conflict and trouble for believing what we think is God’s call to us and for reforming our lives as never before, and therefore, we are asking you to pray for us that our faith in the Lord may be such as to remove these mountains of difficulties or to help us bear the cross that we may be worthy of His name and fitted for His kingdom. The following are some of the trials that we are encountering:
Ecclesiastes 8:5
@@@^We love these brethren though they are so bitter against us, and will you please pray for us that we do nothing that would cause them to forever remain in their “Laodicean” “sad” condition, but that we may be willing to do everything for them that they may be saved. May our conduct and determination to remain with the denomination and in the church witness that we have not apostatized as they think, but that we are trying to reform our lives and prepare ourselves to meet the Lord in peace, and thus convince them to investigate our faith for themselves. @3(Signed) The Young People of La Crescenta, Calif. @4Per Mrs. M. J. Bingham
Ecclesiastes 10:3
@@@^The bee that faithfully labors all summer, when winter comes has plenty to eat and some to spare for a hungry man that cannot manufacture his own honey, while the grasshopper by wasting his time singing all summer long is starving during the winter in the cold. The plant that is raised in the shade is weak and pale and if exposed to the sun too late, instead of receiving its natural beauty, it withers away. Those who are living wrongly, when they start correcting their habits they begin to feel the same effects, but instead of continuing in the right course they excuse themselves from reforming and go back treading in the same old crooked road.
Song of Solomon 3:7
@@@^The spirit of jealousy and selfishness is endeavoring to leaven the believers in Present Truth in some sections of the field and I am impressed to write beforehand a few words of counsel. First of all, let me say that some of those who have embraced Present Truth seem to be yet in darkness concerning the necessity of our work and of the method by which it is now being carried on, and though they may not be conscious of this fact, it weakens their faith in the sealing message and breaks down their power to proclaim the same. Hence, I shall endeavor to pass on such information as seems necessary on some points of our work for your enlightenment.
Song of Solomon 8:1
@@@^Ten tithe paying converts will yield as much tithe as the whole income of one of them and if they can live on that much you can, too, and if it should take twice as much for your living as it does for their’s, all you would need to do is to go and win ten more tithe paying souls. Then as long as you are in Christ’s service and in nothing else, and as long as your twenty converts remain faithful and true tithe payers you will have a steady income. I know not of an easier way for making a living than this. Do you? Neither is there any doubt at all for having this much success in winning souls to Christ if your hearts are right with God and if you are working for souls and for the advancement of His Kingdom instead of for “loaves and fishes” and for self-exaltation. Thus entering into Christ’s service will be your credentials—an evidence that God has approved of your conception of the truth, accepted your service, and that you have made “your calling and election sure.”
Song of Solomon 9:2
@@@^@@Dear Brethren: @^I have been reading the book, “A Reply to The Shepherd’s Rod,” and I must confess that it has increased my faith in the teachings of “The Shepherd’s Rod” if that were possible. Please do not fail to send me every issue of “The Symbolic Code.” @3(Signed) BEN GARRETT@4East Jamestown, Tenn.
