@@@^“Precious light is to shine forth from the Word of God, and let no one presume to dictate what shall or what shall not be brought before the people in the messages of enlightenment that He shall send, and so quench the Spirit of God. Whatever may be his position of authority, no one has a right to shut away the light from the people. When a message comes in the name of the Lord to His people, no one may excuse himself from an investigation of its claims. No one can afford to stand back in an attitude of indifference and self-confidence, and say: ‘I know what is truth. I am satisfied with my position. I have set my stakes, and I will not be moved away from my position, whatever may come. I will not listen to the message of this messenger; for I know that it can not be truth.’ It was from pursuing this very course that the popular churches were left in partial darkness, and that is why the messages of heaven have not reached them.” — @9Testimonies on Sabbath School Work@7, p. 65.

@@@^If you are convinced of the facts brought out in these pages, and if you pray for forgiveness and for guidance, then happy shall you be, and your hope shall not be in vain. But if this fails to open your eyes, then what hope is there for you but forever to abide in your Laodicean self-deception and to spend eternity in the company of those who crucified the Lord? The Spirit’s recommendation for the Laodicean malady is this: “Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” 1 Thess. 517-21. Do as the noble Bereans who “received the Word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily whether those things were so.” Acts 17:11. “Knowing this first that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation” (2 Peter 1:20), that only by Divine gift of interpretation can prophecy be interpreted. Cease from all un-Adventist activities; return to God. Shun uninspired interpretations of the Scriptures lest you be led not by the Spirit of “all Truth,” but by the spirit of the Devil that is working through everyone who engages in private interpretations of the Scriptures to keep himself and others in darkness and away from the Spirit of Truth for this very time. “Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” (Isa. 2:22), but do something to save them. @4Faithfully yours for a revival and reformation such as has never been seen (9 T 126), @4@9[Signature]@7@4V.

@@@^[@9Picture@7]@8@0Dear Friend,@^Through these cartoons our Sabbath School Quarterly, you plainly see, wants you to know the Truth as It is in Jesus for It alone makes anyone free. So to be one of, or one with the 144,000 guileless servants of God would be a mighty and final victory, eternal security, and life for evermore! Now is your opportunity and you cannot afford to lose out so late in the day. For this reason I am penning these special lines to you. And since Inspiration’s counsel is, “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of Truth” (2 Tim. 2:15), you positively know that this is what God wants you to do.

@@@^@@Dear Brethren:@^By this you will note that we are thinking of you, that we truly intend to finish what the Lord has now started in this state. You will soon find that regardless how badly the enemies of Truth try to keep you in darkness on what is taking place, the Lord will not permit them. He will not leave you ignorant of the approaching Judgment for the Living, “the purification of the church,” — “Testimonies,” Vol. 5, p. 80. He will, if you let Him, enlighten you concerning it even more than He enlightened His people on the Judgment for the Dead. We say even more, because the latter work is of far greater importance than the former. In importance there is no comparison between the two. This is so because the latter has to do with the message bearers themselves, not with those who have gone before them. Since we are in constant contact with the Lord’s headquarters, we are able to give you first-hand information, not hearsay, concerning the things on which you need truthful and concrete intelligence. It is, therefore, a real privilege and pleasure to make full reply to the Ministering Brethren’s general objections against the additional message (“Early Writings,” p. 277), the message of the hour.
2:3
@@@^Brethren, start studying for yourselves, and if you are really a seeker of Truth, hungering and thirsting after righteousness, God will give you by His Spirit the right understanding of His Truth for this time. He will not leave you ignorant of It. His promises never fail and His enemies never win.
5:1
@@@^To make bare statements that “The Shepherd’s Rod” contradicts the Bible and Sister White’s writings, statements that no one backs up with facts, is downright falsehood. Then, too, your habit of twisting her writings and of ignoring the plainest Bible truths for the purpose of fighting the “Rod” is an act as wicked as was the Sanhedrin’s crucifying the Lord. Moreover, your forbidding the laity to come in contact with “The Shepherd’s Rod” is proof positive that the “Rod” tells the Truth and that none of you can prove It wrong, but, that all of you are determined to keep the laity ignorant of It. If the “Rod” is in error, prove it from the Bible, then you will not care who reads the “Rod.” This is the only honest. sensible, and lasting way to deal with It. Your Pharisaical generalities, character defamations, and sowing gossip does not prove that the “Rod” is not sent of God, but that you are against It, regardless.
7:2
@@@^True, the church is God’s church, but those who are in charge of it are no better than the Sanhedrin in Christ’s day. It is because God has supreme regard for His church that He has thus with His Truth invaded it now as He did invade the Jewish church in Christ’s time, and is thus to reclaim His people by cutting down those who are unlawfully enslaving them, teaching them doctrines of devils as already shown in the paragraphs above, and keeping them from coming in contact with Heaven’s Truth for this time of crisis. Do you see why the General Conference is now no more the voice of God to the people (General Conference Bulletin, 34th session, Vol. 4, Extra No. 1, April 3, 1901, p. 25, Cols. 1, 2) than was the Sanhedrins’ to the Jews in Christ’s time?

@@@^Elder Adam’s brochure, like all the other anti-Shepherd’s Rod literature, very plainly shows that the Brochure contains only half truth about “The Shepherd’s Rod.” What we mean by half truth is here demonstrated by Matthew 27:5 and Acts 1:18: “And He [Judas] cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.” Matthew 27:5. “Now this man [Judas] purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.” Acts 1:18. These two halves, put together, is what tells the full story of Judas crime and death. But the anti-Christians living in the days of the Apostles, declared:
3:1
@@@^Work of this kind is more than to hang a man without a hearing. It is to bury him alive and his witnesses with him. It is violent injustice to the Rod, with intention to grossly deceive anyone who reads the Brochure. And what is more than these, is the fact that since the Rod claims Inspiration for Its revelation, and since no one has ever sat down to prove It otherwise, the anti-Rod literature is anti-Heaven’s Truth, blasphemy against the Spirit of all Truth — unmatched wickedness!
3:3
@@@^We use the plural form, authors of the Brochure, because the Brochure has nothing original; that is, the Brochure and all anti-Rod literature is only a rehash of the “A Reply to The Shepherd’s Rod.” The Brochure’s unfair practice is seen all through the anti-Rod literature — misrepresenting the Rod and deceiving the people. Why do they do this? Because the anti-Rodists are anti-Truth, and anti-Christ’s people. They want forever to keep the Laodiceans in their “need of nothing” theory, and in darkness of the Truth for today.
4:5
@@@^“In the time of harvest” (Matt. 13:30), my friends, means that the harvest is a short period of time, the last, the time in which to separate the wheat from the tares, the good fish from the bad (Matt. 13:47, 48) the goats from the sheep (Matt. 25:31-33)–the penitent from the impenitent, the followers of Truth from the followers of men, those who have the mark of the beast (Rev. 13:17) from those who have the mark of God (Ezek. 9:4). The “harvest” and the Judgment for the Living are synonymous terms, you see. This is Bible and It is Truth to which Sister White adds: “I then saw the third angel. Said my accompanying angel, ‘Fearful is his work. Awful is his mission. He is the angel that is to select the wheat from the tares, and seal, or bind, the wheat for the heavenly garner. These things should engross the whole mind, the whole attention.’” — “Early Writings,” p. 118.
6:2
@@@^In the light of revealed Truth you now plainly see that God accepts only that which His Truth-loving and Kingdom-seeking people give willingly and cheerfully. He hates gifts obtained by begging, high pressuring, and campaigning. He challenges His people to prove Him, now in the gathering time, by wholeheartedly bringing their tithes and offerings to His storehouse of the Judgment of the Living and see if He will not open the windows of Heaven and pour down a blessing that there would not be room enough to receive. Then He reassures:
55:2
@@@^All Christians should now awake to the realization that praying for health is not their only duty; that their doing nothing more than praying, and nothing more than listening to a preacher, is not only making their bodies sick, but also keeping their minds inactive and their souls in darkness of advancing Truth. Anyone placing on the doctor’s shoulders the whole burden of his health, and on the minister’s shoulders the whole burden of his spiritual well-being, gains neither health nor truth. Each must bear his own yoke in order to be fair to himself.

13:3
@@@^“The Lord often works where we least expect Him; He surprises us by revealing His power through instruments of His own choice, while He passes by the men to whom we have looked as those through whom light should come. God desires us to receive the truth upon its own merits, — because it is truth.” — @9Testimonies to Ministers@7, p. 106. “.

31:3
@@@^“The stifling of discussion is contrary to the very genius of both civil and religious liberty, for truth is a living, expanding principle. Repression of discussion is ever characteristic of autocracy, with its centralized power of the fear of disturbing the status quo. History marks it as notoriously the tool of tyranny and the instrument of error. Controversy occupied a large part of the formation of the New Testament canon. Debate sifts fallacy from fact and error from truth; but stagnating conservatism with its accompanying frown upon discussion, tends toward ultimate uncertainty and disaster; and repression of investigation often ends in upheaval.”–L. E. Froom. @8@8@8@2— The Research Committee of Un-Adventist Activities

@@@^Therefore, it is more imperative now than ever before that Present Truth parents place their children in the school at Mt. Carmel, which God has provided for them, if they desire to see them saved.
Proverbs 4:5
@@@^“I am attending every meeting that I possibly can and my prayer is that my faith may grow stronger, and that the Lord will bless me with health that I, too, may help proclaim this wonderful truth.
Song of Solomon 6:5
@@@^‘Why have not these ministers been reproved, when we are following their teachings?”’ some asked. “A door, has thus been opened for Satan to tempt them as to the truthfulness of the visions.
