Page 70 of 1472 Kings 7:7
@@@^Replying to Sr. J. A. Dundore’s question in the Feb. Code, concerning the progress of the work, I will say that I was present in Charleston, S. Car. while Elder _______ was there tirading against the SRod, and I can truthfully say that instead of his “stamping out the SRod doctrine there,” his actions served to establish @9all@7 those who had accepted it before, and @9created an interest in others@7 to investigate the message for themselves, and one of the ladies, who heard him, invited me to her home to give a study, and remarked at the close of the study: “O what they are missing at that little church!
2 Kings 9:6
@@@^Answer: Relative to 5 T 212, let us first observe a parallel, in certain respects, from pre-Noatic times. Jude proves that Enoch was a messenger of God, and yet that he warned his generation of the destruction of the world by the second advent of Christ when, in fact, the flood was the event which was to and subsequently did destroy the world of Enoch’s time! Enoch simply was not shown the truth of the flood. Therefore, he preached the destruction then in terms of the coming of the Lord.
1 Chronicles 1:2
@@@^Though it was at first thought that the office should remain in its original location for a month or two longer, circumstances called for its immediate removal, and it is with praises that we make this happy announcement of our arrival at the new headquarters location, and we feel certain that all who are standing in the light of present truth will, with the pioneers of this central location for our future work in behalf of our S.D.A. brethren, raise their voices in thanksgiving to our heavenly Father.
1 Chronicles 3:5
@@@^“For twenty-seven years I have attended services, camp meetings, and read the denominational literature. Not one iota of new light have I heard in these meetings. The same sermons that brought me into the S.D.A. truth are now preached with @9less @7spiritual power than then, thus fulfilling the prophecy in Jer. 23:30.
1 Chronicles 4:5
@@@^Sister Hendricks, Bro. Jone’s sister, has recently joined him in the work at this place, and doubtless others of God’s honest children will investigate this beautiful “present truth” message, and accept it in spite of all the opposition that the dear brethren are blindly bringing to bear against it, for the promise of God to cause the “wrath of man” to “praise Him” still holds good.
1 Chronicles 4:10
@@@^From the first we seemed to be not in harmony with the “work” as carried on and lived out in the lives of the S.D.A. people, and in trying to be in harmony with the church, we were led to drift father and farther away from the fundamental truths until one by one the family dropped out, and now I am the only one left that hold church membership.
1 Chronicles 4:11
@@@^Two or three weeks ago Brother and Sister Boyes brought me some tracts and Volume One of the SRod. Now I am again finding the message in all its purity and beauty, and I feel that my feet are once more being planted upon solid ground. I am now reading Vol. 2 of the Rod, and from what I have found so far, I stand with it one hundred per cent. @2Most sincerely yours for present truth,@3Mrs. Jennie Barnes@4College Place, Wash.
1 Chronicles 6:7
@@@^“When they were through they came back, turned on the lights, unlocked the door, and I went out. Poor souls, I don’t see how we can ever reach them! How I do thank the Lord for the showers of truth that He is sending. O, I long for more faith in the power of God to save me from sin!”
1 Chronicles 7:2
@@@^While the above quotation refers to the church as a whole, we are concerned here with the question of how we, who profess to be giving a special message to the church, appear to our own dear brethren who have not yet accepted the message which is so precious to us, and for whom we are to labor, knowing that their blood will be upon us if we fail to do, by word and act, all that we can. Hence it becomes evident that we are not only a “spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men,” but to our S.D.A. brethren as well, for they are scrutinizing all our movements, and we should be glad to have them do so, and see to it that nothing unbecoming a genuine Christian can truthfully be said against us.
1 Chronicles 8:6
@@@^Bro. O. Hogan of Los Angeles, Calif., sends in the following encouraging words: “I am thankful to the Lord for bringing me in contact with the SRod. My courage is good in the present truth message, and when I read the Spirit of Prophecy it establishes my confidence more firmly in the message for this time. For example, in ‘A WORD TO THE LITTLE FLOCK,’ p. 5, we read: ‘God approved of the proclamation of 1843, and the 10th day of the 7th month, 1844: by the pouring out of the Holy Ghost. Since the 7th month 1844, the “rebellious house” of Israel, @9have been removing the “landmarks@7,” and writing, and proclaiming false visions; but we all know that it has been the work of man, and not of God. These flattering divinings, have cheered on the “rebellious house” of Israel to some extent; but the work has not had the holy, sanctifying influence, as when God’s hand was in the work on time.” @2“Yours for the return of Mother”
1 Chronicles 8:8
@@@^We are often asked if the SRod teaches that misfortunes, such as bodily affliction, sickness, and even death itself befalls those who oppose the teachings of the above mentioned publication and the work it advocates, and we are happy to state emphatically that not only the author of the SRod, but all who believe the truths contained therein, give no countenance whatever to any such idea that the slaughter weapons of Ezekiel Nine are being visited upon anyone for either believing or disbelieving anything they choose.
1 Chronicles 9:1
@@@^We are sorry indeed that it seemed necessary to occupy any space in this important little paper in an honest endeavor to clarify the minds of our dear people who have become confused by the enemy of the truth on the above mentioned points, but we are sure that many will be glad for the explanation, judging from the questions that have come to us from all parts of the field. Let it be distinctly understood by all that we are not responsible for what anyone else may say, but we are wholly accountable for what we ourselves say and do.–Editor.
1 Chronicles 9:3
@@@^Ans. After having accepted the whole truth it is our privilege to join the church and we should apply for membership by complying with the ordinance of baptism. However, having studied the message through the medium of the SRod, and as it is opposed by the denominational ministry, your application for baptism and membership may not be accepted by the leading body of the church. Nevertheless, having done all you can, if they should deny you of such a privilege, they alone will be held responsible.
1 Chronicles 9:4
@@@^Moreover, having one’s name on the church books does not assure any one of being saved. Having your name written @9in the books of heaven@7 is what counts. Your acceptance of the truth and a desire to comply with all the requirements which the message provides, is what secures your membership in the church of the redeemed.
2 Chronicles 1:3
@@@^As one studies the Bible and the Testimonies, he cannot fail to see that God has a plan for caring for His own unfortunate, either from sickness or aged, or because of financial reverses, and the question now confronts @9us@7 who claim to believe that the “Lord will work in this last work in a manner very much out of the common order of things, and in a way that will be contrary to @9any@7 human planning.” “Testimonies to Ministers,” p. 300. But recreant to our trust indeed would we also be, who claim to have accepted God’s message of “present truth,” calling for a “Great reformatory movement among God’s people,” should we allow this condition to remain unchanged. Shall @9we@7 continue to do the planning, following in the footsteps of those who have neglected this important work?
2 Chronicles 1:5
@@@^That this denomination is the Laodicean church, no one denies. That we, as a church, have “turned back from following Christ” our “Leader” (“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 5, p. 217) all agree. That “doubt and even disbelief of the testimonies of the Spirit of God, is leavening our churches everywhere” (Id.), not one dares to dispute. Then what is there left for us to do, dear friends in “present truth”? Is it not high time to do as one of old, by returning to the “old landmarks,” from which the servant of the Lord says “we have wandered”?–“Testimonies for the church,” Vol. 5, p. 137. The Gospel prophet further says :
2 Chronicles 2:2
@@@^Speaking directly to the denomination of what had been shown concerning the care of our own people, the Lord pointed out the mistakes of those in charge of the Health Institute in the following language: “When I saw those who managed and directed, running into the dangers shown me, of which I had warned them in public, and also in private conversation and letters, a terrible burden came upon me. That which had been shown me as a place where the suffering sick among @9us@7 could be helped, was one where sacrifice, hospitality, faith, and piety should be the ruling principles. But when unqualified calls were made for large sums of money, with the statement that stock taken would pay large per cent; when the brethren who occupied positions in the institution seemed more than willing to take larger wages than those were satisfied with who filled other and equally important stations in the great cause of truth and reform; when I learned, with pain, that, in order to make the institution popular with those not of our faith, and to secure their patronage, a spirit of compromise was rapidly gaining ground at the Institute...when I saw these things, I said, This is not that which was shown me as an institution for the sick, which would share the signal blessing of God. This is another thing.”–“Testimonies for the Church” Vol. 1, pp. 633-4.
2 Chronicles 4:1
@@@^A number of times in the past several months letters have been received from other parts of the field, inquiring if it be true as reported by conference workers that the work of the SRod has been stamped out in Southern California. We have endeavored to emphasize a denial of this false report, but evidently the demon doubt having been aroused in some cases cannot be put down again so easily as by a straight forward denial, so we feel it mandatory in behalf of truth and those concerned to set forth a few evidences showing the utter falsity of this type of propaganda.
2 Chronicles 4:2
@@@^The writer has been advised semi-officially that the doors of all churches in the Southern California Conf. are closed to him by order of the Conf. president. As there are many churches in this area, and as he can attend only one at a time, he is as yet unable to verify first-hand the truth of the alleged proscription, but as far as his experience has extended in this wise, he is convinced that the report of this debarment is correct. Sabbath after Sabbath and Wednesday after Wednesday (excepting one or two instances in each case) he has kept vigil by himself on the sidewalk.
2 Chronicles 4:3
@@@^In the Lincoln Park church the pastor has for two weeks running, delivered himself of most withering tirades against the SRod, descending each time to the depths of retailing current reports besmirching the good names of prominent workers in the cause of present truth. He has even gone to the length of stooping so pitifully low as to countenance the dismissal from the Sabbath School roll of the names of innocent primary graders whose parents and older sisters have accepted and are standing courageously for the sealing message.
