@@@^At the conference meetings in Los Angeles in the spring of 1934, it was unanimously adopted that every Friday evening (5 P.M. Pacific Standard Time; 6 P.M. Mountain Standard Time; 7 P.M. Central Standard Time; 8 P.M. Eastern Standard Time) believers in Present Truth would seek God in behalf of the message, believing that such a concerted voice would lay at Heaven’s altar, in all truth, “the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man (which) availeth much.”
Nahum 2:5
@@@^O, I cry aloud to God that He may awaken all Present Truth believers and cause them to see that a mere theoretical knowledge of Present Truth is not sufficient to save their souls from Satan’s claims upon them. Some have scarcely any realization of the magnitude and needs of the work, much less of their own condition. They lack true wisdom and they lack divine judgment. They are not willing to deny themselves of anything either for the sake of their own souls’ salvation or for the sake of the salvation of others’, yet they talk of having a great burden to save other people’s souls, and long to go out and give the message! Let me give here one example of such a sad deception.
Nahum 5:7
@@@^As it was necessary to visit some of the brethren in the middle western states, and as there was a load of fixtures to be transported from Madison, Wisconsin, to Mt. Carmel, and also as we were badly in need of a new truck, it was decided that we should take advantage of the possibility of catching three net fulls of fish with one casting. Hence, as a Dodge truck purchased at the factory would save us about a hundred dollars, my wife and I obtained a ticket to Detroit, Michigan, with stop over privileges. Thus while on the way we were able to stop for a few days in Ohio and Indiana, where we had the privilege for the first time of meeting a number of Present Truth believers who were hungry for truth, and who, in their desire for a higher Christian living, gave great courage to us. Moreover, the royal entertainment we received in every place we stopped and the efforts, of the brethren to bring new listeners to the studies, gave us a vision of what the power of the Gospel of Christ can do.
Nahum 5:9
@@@^Then while in Detroit, we met Brother and Sister Schian, whom we found to be zealous workers in the interest of Present Truth, and through them we came in contact with a number of S.D.A.’s, but we were disappointed because our schedule permitted us to give them only one study. Most of them became greatly interested in the study of Present Truth, and asked for literature in which they could at their leisure examine the claims of the sealing message. We are praying for a good harvest of souls from our efforts there.
Nahum 7:12
@@@^I have been wanting to write a letter for some time, but I am so new in “the Seventh-day Adventist church” and “Present Truth” that I have been hesitant to write. However, I am learning fast, and I know “the Dear Lord” is with me. And I thank Him every day of my life that He has seen fit to call me into this “Present Truth” message of today. It is so wonderful, and I would like to study it all day long if it were possible. I am truly thankful for what God has done for me, and I am trying to give the message as I go on with my studies. @3(Signed) Ida E. Rainey,@4Portland, Ore.
Nahum 7:14
@@@^Not long ago, we called to see a family who had become slightly acquainted with the Sabbath, and with kindred truths of the S. D. A. message, and who liked the literature which they had read. During the two or three years that have intervened since they first contacted S. D. A.’s there have fallen into the hands of this family several of the tracts of Present Truth, and also The Symbolic Code. The wife and mother in this home told me that she prized these latter publications very highly, and that they made her all the more desirous of becoming a S. D. A., and that she was now sending her little girl to the S. D. A. Sabbath School.
Nahum 8:11
@@@^The above scripture urges us to be faithful and full of zeal in the duties which God has placed upon each individual. So far as we know, the duty of the questioner is to be faithful in obeying the principles of the doctrine, and whatsoever work he or she is given to do. The work of present truth believers is that they themselves reform by obeying the truth, and by precept and example lead others to obey it. Some of us are doing this by building the “camp” at Mt. Carmel Center, others by giving studies, still others by writing letters and sending tracts and books to their relatives, friends, and acquaintances. Those who labor for a livelihood must be faithful in their position, as was Daniel, so that they bring no reproach against their religious profession, but lead others to the gospel of Christ by their good behavior and faithful service in the name of Christ, and by supporting the cause of God.
Habakkuk 3:14
@@@^Seven years’ experience has proved that there is virtually not one Present Truth believer able to teach the message, and that those who have attempted to do so, have accomplished either very little or nothing, and have met defeat. Consequently, unless Mt. Carmel does something for all Present Truth believers, in the way of training, they will be of no use to the Lord in this most important work. Neither would there be a place for the aged nor for the orphans. The Lord foresaw this condition and therefore commanded by the pen of Ezekiel to “set the camp [Mt. Carmel] also stand against it, and set battering rams [leaders] against it round about.” (Ezek. 4:2.)
Habakkuk 4:1
@@@^The very fact that the one hundred and forty-four thousand are to have no guile in their mouths is not only an evidence that they must proclaim the truth and nothing but the truth, but that their language must be free from all unbecoming words. And, if we are to be among this elect company of God’s children, it will be necessary for us to weed out of our speech all the sly innuendos, covert insinuation, expletives, and meaningless words and phrases.—“Education,” p. 236.
Habakkuk 4:2
@@@^We are told that our language should be so “pure” that the most sensitive could not truthfully say that there is the slightest intimation of impropriety; so kind that the most timid would have no fear; so truthful that no doubt could possibly arise in the minds of our hearers as to our veracity.

Habakkuk 13:9
@@@^“When new light is presented to the church, it is perilous to shut yourselves away from it. Refusing to hear because you are prejudiced against the message or the messenger will not make your case excusable before God. To condemn that which you have not heard and do not understand will not exalt your wisdom in the eyes of those who are candid in their investigations of truth. And to speak with contempt of those whom God has sent with a message of truth, is folly and madness.”—“Testimonies on Sabbath School Work,” p. 60.
Habakkuk 15:16
@@@^Because of this great neglect on the part of Present Truth believers, Mt. Carmel Academy has already closed her doors to all who are not already in school here, and unless all Present Truth believers quickly awake to the fact that God demands them to rally to the aid of the school, the Academy may soon have to send home even the children who are now in school. Will you Brother, will you Sister, help save the children, or will you have them perish in “the general ruin,” all because of “the selfish love of ‘me and mine’?”
Zephaniah 5:10
@@@^It has been estimated that the average offerings received from Present Truth believers amount to about 2% of their “increase,” and that it takes from 5% to 8% to maintain the school. Hence, Mt. Carmel in no uncertain words requests that all Present Truth believers contribute not less than 5% of their increase to this needy fund. In other words, if one’s income is $15 a week, his first tithe will amount to $1.50 for the ten percent tithe, and 68¢ for the 5% school maintenance, which will make a total of $2.18.
Zephaniah 6:5
@@@^Experience has proved that those who are so zealous that others be above reproach, are, themselves, more reproachable than those for whom they profess to be so concerned, for now, after only a few short months, they are either on their way or are already out of the message which they not long ago so confidently believed to be the truth. Thus they clearly show that the motives behind their great concern to correct others, were engendered, not by a pure and all-consuming zeal for the prosperity of the sealing message and its advocates, but rather by the power of the arch-deceiver whose determined purpose is to foment trouble and discourage and dishearten as many as possible, thereby making the truth of none effect.
Zephaniah 6:7
@@@^There are but few, if any, Present Truth believers, those at Mt. Carmel not excluded, who fully realize what the “camp” really stands for, or the reason why any of us are here. Moreover, we find it surpassingly hard to make Present Truth believers sympathetically to understand the pioneer stage in which Mt. Carmel is at the present, most significant evidence of which is seen in the fact that when applicants are asked why they desire to come here, the most of them answer, “to learn the message,” or “to become better Christians,” or “to get away from the world,” etc., etc. There is nothing wrong with such desires in themselves. However, Mt. Carmel has not yet reached the stage where she can serve such needs in the way she is expected to.
Haggai 2:1
@@@^To all careless or doubting or recusant spirits who tread the side edges of the road of Present Truth, the following words of Inspiration stand as faithful sentinels, warning of the grim fact that unless all side-edge travelers get over into the middle of the road, and walk in the light, they shall eventually go the way of all aberrant Present Truth professors — “out from the ‘Shepherd’s Rod,’ — out from the light, and back into the pews of Laodiceanism, — back into the darkness of “sad” and “terrible” and “fearful” “deception.” — “Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 3, pp. 253, 254, 260.
Haggai 8:6
@@@^Nevertheless, we must not conclude that sanctification is an instantaneous work, by which, through faith alone, (we) accepted the truth and thereby, through the Holy Spirit, (Rom. 15:16) have been sanctified, or set apart for a holy purpose, the work of sanctification is not consummated, but immediately progresses (“The Great Controversy,” p. 470) into its second phase—growing in grace. When we are first converted to the truth and renounce the world, our Christian life is just begun, and having accepted “the principles of the doctrine of Christ,” we must “go on unto perfection.” (Heb. 6:1 “The Great Controversy,” p. 470.
Haggai 9:5
@@@^“Many . . . do not exemplify the truth in their lives. They have special exercises upon sanctification, yet cast the word of God behind them. They pray sanctification, sing sanctification, and shout sanctification. . . The present truth, which is the channel, is not regarded, but is trampled under foot. Men may cry, Holiness! holiness! sanctification! sanctification! consecration! consecration! and yet know no more by experience of what they talk than the sinner with his corrupt propensities. God will soon tear off this whitewashed garb of professed sanctification which some who are carnally minded have thrown around them to hide the deformity of the soul.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 1, pp. 338, 336.
