@@@^Let no one discourage another in the 1844 movement. God has an awful surprise in store for all who are misusing their time in trying to overthrow the truth of the Millerite and 1844 movements, for “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” (2 Pet. 1:19-21.)
1 Samuel 1:11
@@@^This man-made rule has barred from the field “the many self-sacrificing workers,” thus robbing those who are in the darkness of the light of present truth, with the result that there are thousands of S.D.A.’s without employment at this very time who, instead of entering into the gospel work as Christ has asked, are walking up and down the streets expecting to receive some charitable help, the while they are all too often getting themselves into mischief.
1 Samuel 2:3
@@@^“God will have men who will venture anything and everything to save souls. Those who will not move until they can see every step of the way clearly before them, will not be of advantage at this time to forward the truth of God. There must be workers now who will push ahead in the dark as well as in the light, and who will hold up bravely under discouragements and disappointed hopes, and yet work on with faith, with tears and patient hope, sowing beside all waters, trusting the Lord to bring the increase. God calls for men of nerve, of hope, faith, and endurance to work to the point.” “Life Sketches,” 213-14.
1 Samuel 2:12
@@@^We thank God that He mercifully gave us willingness and courage to read and investigate for ourselves after we had set our hearts against His message. Praises be to Him for His goodness and for present truth. We expect to put ourselves and our all into this work. @3(Signed) Mr. & Mrs. C. E. Wessel@4Charleston, S. Carolina
1 Samuel 3:9
@@@^We are surely rejoicing in this present truth. It has made us @9firm believers in Sr. White’s Testimonies@7, which we never fully believed before. Besides, we were fast becoming like the world again, but now my husband is out of the Masons and I am asking for my demit this month. We want nothing between us and our Saviour.
1 Samuel 3:12
@@@^We have been Adventists nearly 16 years and are stronger in the old truth than ever before. Soon after coming into the church in Charleston, S. Carolina, we found that the church was not much different from the world. From that time on we have been mere mental Adventists. But now, thanks to the SRod, we have regained our first love. Praise God! I could shout for joy! @3(Signed) Mrs. W. L. Harper@4Richmond, Va.
1 Samuel 3:13
@@@^I am surely happy and grateful to the Lord for the wonderful light and message of reform in the SRod. Raised in the truth yet, like most Adventists, I knew very little of what Sr. White’s writings consisted and nothing of their real value, with the result that I had drifted from the church when the SRod found me. But now thanks to it I have almost all the writings of the Spirit of Prophecy and study every moment possible. With this additional light every word of the Bible and Testimonies has become precious to me.
1 Samuel 4:6
@@@^I have long wanted to get to a post office to send this letter. Sometimes I do get discouraged at the way things go, then I think how God has the work in hand, and how He removed those who were enemies to present truth from this place a few days before I moved here.
1 Samuel 4:7
@@@^I thank God often for the wonderful light I have received through the SRod on the Bible and Testimonies. My Bible has become a new book to me. So many things which I was taught applied only to the New Earth, but which were never clear, are now so plain and harmonious. I praise God for His truth and for the privilege of suffering a little for the Master. @3(Signed) Mrs. A. Oswald@4Tom Ball, Texas
1 Samuel 5:9
@@@^“’The wrath of man shall praise Thee, ‘ says the psalmist; ‘the remainder of wrath shalt Thou restrain.’ God means that testing truth shall be brought to the front, and become a subject of examination and discussion, even if it is through the contempt placed upon it. The minds of the people must be agitated. Every controversy, every reproach, every slander, will be God’s means of provoking inquiry, and awakening minds that otherwise would slumber.”–5 T 454, 453.
1 Samuel 5:13
@@@^Though it is impossible all at once to outgrow the old S.D.A. family frailties, foibles, and follies the common Laodicean heritage and reach the consummate perfection of our great Exemplar, the above remarks should be seriously considered by every one standing in the light. However, the impossibility of attaining to this absolute perfection overnight, the enemies of present truth with an utter lack of reason and fairness use as a weapon against the message. They go about decrying our habits, manners, and words, as though the SRod were responsible for them and had engendered every Laodicean propensity which we may still possess!
1 Samuel 6:3
@@@^These poor blind souls are doing just what Paul warns them not to do: “Therefore thou art inexcusable, 0 man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.” (Rom. 2:1.) They, themselves, with no charge from God and with no purpose but to justify self, proceed to reproach, recriminate, and score those who are declaring “God’s counsels of old” which “are faithfulness and truth,” realizing not that thereby they are doubly reproachable and reprehensible.
1 Samuel 7:1
@@@^We endorse no teaching or position not found in the publications of the SRod or authorized by this office, as is plainly declared on the first page of the Symbolic Code for October (No. 4). Nowhere is the position taken “that everyone that is brought into the Seventh-day Adventist church is unconverted, and that there should not be @9anyone @7brought in.” The most extreme position which the message takes in this connection is that which the Spirit of Prophecy in the following testimony obliges it to take: “The Lord does not now work to @9bring many@7 souls into the truth, because of the church members who have never been converted, and those who were once converted but who have backslidden.”–6 T 371.
1 Samuel 8:1
@@@^If the opposers of the SRod had lived in the days of John the Baptist, in the days of Christ, or in the first 3½ years of the apostles, and had been in their present frame of mind, they would have taken their stand on the side of the rulers of Israel against the truth of that time.
1 Samuel 8:4
@@@^As to the 1931 date and the event connected with it, we have no further light at the present time than is to be found in Vol. 1, pp.108- 114 and Vol. 2, p. 275. It was at that time (the close of 1930 and the beginning of 1931) that the event of publishing the message in the SRod, Vol. 1 took place, revealing the truth of the 144,000 and calling for a reformation. Therefore, though it was not before hand correctly understood just what the nature of the event would be, when the fullness of time came and no other event transpired but this identical one, it was thereby identified as the one predicted in Ezekiel 4; that is, the time at the end of the 430 prophetic years when the “scroll” was to make another turn.
1 Samuel 11:10
@@@^Our united prayer on Friday evening (5 P.M. Pac. Stand. Time; 6 P.M. Moun. Stand. Time; 7 P.M. Cent. Stand. Time; 8 P.M. East. Stand. Time) in behalf of our brethren who are in darkness regarding present truth, should be faithfully observed by all concerned.
2 Samuel 2:1
@@@^We are confronted with opposition from our conferences, which are trying to drown the message and kill the work of reform. They talk against the publications, but not once have they opened their pages and successfully refuted any of the contents. Their excuse is that they cannot afford to give any of their valuable time to investigate new light. Ridicule is the only thing we hear. Arguing on the direct application of minor points does not change the message in the “Rod” so long as the lessons derived cannot be refuted. The subject in the “Rod” is “The 144,000 and A Call for Reformation,” based on Rev. 7; Eze. 9; Isa. 63; 66:16, 19, 20, and as they cannot refute either of these, it proves that the message is correct. Many of the laity are demanding explanations of the message in “The Shepherd’s Rod,” but as the ministry cannot give them a satisfactory answer it is arousing many to search out the truth for themselves. Thus the message is spreading everywhere, with evidence that reformation is sure.
2 Samuel 2:4
@@@^On many occasions the leadership has disfellowshipped some of the earnest ones, but by no means has it checked the influence of the truth. Indeed this attempt to frighten the people to give up studying the message and working in the lines of reformation has only served to accomplish the very opposite result. We again warn our people to remain faithful to God and follow complete instructions in every move they make. There can be no success in the work of God and He cannot use us if we exercise our wisdom independent of His.
2 Samuel 2:7
@@@^We regret that we must speak of the actions on the part of our brethren, but we are duty bound to defend God’s people and His truth. Therefore, we are obliged to give out the following information for the benefit of those who are willing to study and investigate for themselves in preference to accepting the decisions of others.
2 Samuel 3:7
@@@^@@Dear Brother:@^Just a few lines from our little company. There are seven who have taken their stand for the message of present truth found in the SRod, which we find in harmony with the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy, and in which we are surely happy and rejoicing. Now we are asking for someone to come and teach us more about the message, that we may better work to the glory of God and the advancement of His cause. @3(Signed) W. R. Young.
