Page 8 of 19Daniel 9:3
@@@^“So was the faith of this woman rewarded. Christ, the great Life-giver, restored her son to her. In like manner will His faithful ones be rewarded, when, at His coming, death loses its sting, and the grave is robbed of the victory it has claimed. Then will He @9restore to His servants the children@7 that have been taken from them by death. ‘Thus saith the Lord; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not. Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, . . . and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border’.”—“Prophets and Kings,” p, 239.
Hosea 2:1
@@@^Having availed ourselves of an opportunity to come to Texas with an old friend and neighbor, my wife and I, after visiting and studying with some of the believers along the way from the east, are happy to be at Mt. Carmel Center just at the time when many Christians are making resolutions which, they hope, will serve as an incentive for reaching higher ideals in spiritual life. These resolutions are usually of a reformatory nature, and those who make them generally determine to exchange some bad habit for a good one.
Hosea 3:7
@@@^As we visit our people from time to time, our heart is cheered to see new faces among those who have been drawn by the Holy Spirit to investigate the message contained in “The Shepherd’s Rod,” and their ringing testimony usually runs as follows: “How happy I am that God has at last, by the message to the Laodiceans, visited His people in mercy, and though it be a ‘startling denunciation,’ it does bring to us good cheer because it is indeed a ‘door of hope’ for us ‘lukewarm’ S. D. A’s.”
Joel 3:12
@@@^“The Bible has become an entirely different book to me. It is intensely interesting and never grows tiresome. As I study this inexhaustible treasure-house, born within me are new hopes which make the things of the world pale into insignificance.
Amos 12:13
@@@^What wonderful love our Lord must have for us to try so hard to help us when we have been such a rebellious people! I pray that God will soon have all the 144,000 sealed, and the ‘great multitude’ called forth, that we might shortly go home with Him that loves us so. Oh, how I long for that day when our Savior shall in the clouds of Heaven, come for us! This glorious hope is my one consolation when persecution comes so strongly that I feel I can stand it no longer: and I seem to hear a voice speaking to my heart, ‘It won’t be long;’ then I am again able to go on with peace in my soul.
Obadiah 2:3

Obadiah 10:8
@@@^Then, too, the interest on the mortgage against the real estate, amounts to $474.00 for 1937. There can be no better security than this property and we hope that some of our brethren will awake, and place as much as they can to this fund, in order to secure their money, and save to the cause the interest on the mortgage. However, if the loans which come in do not total at least $8,400.00, which is the principle on the mortgage, we shall be disposed to return all pledges made to this fund, as we must either pay the entire amount of the mortgage or else be subject to the annual payments with full interest.
Obadiah 11:8
@@@^Though, in prospect, far-off fields always look greener than those immediately about us, the hope is invariably disappointed in the end. Hence, do not, until you have laid a solid foundation, and have thoroughly finished your work in one field, leave it to enter another place.
Jonah 2:5
@@@^O, what a vast contrast there is between this, our happy outlook of an “exceeding and eternal weight of glory,” and that of those who from day to day live empty, aimless lives of seeking only pleasures which, lasting merely for the time being, soon vanish into nothingness, leaving these poor squandered lives only the forlorn and hopeless prospect of the day of death and doom!
Jonah 4:1
@@@^I cannot express how earnestly I hope and pray that every Present Truth believer may gain an experience with God and receive even greater blessings than have I. I shall do my part to help answer my own prayers in your behalf, and to grant my heart’s desire, by doing what little I can for you, my brothers and sisters, whether it be in person or by correspondence, or by my endeavors to exert the kind of influence that will direct your minds to the One Who, by His death, made possible our doing even “greater works” than He.
Jonah 7:10
@@@^As we are troubled with many accusations against Brother Houteff, and as we do not know the exact truth of these charges, we kindly ask the Code to give us the true setting of them, so that we may be able intelligently and truthfully, and with meekness and fear, to give an answer to every man that asketh us a reason for the hope that is in us. One of the greatest sins of which they are accusing Brother Houteff is that he has two wives, the former of whom left him because she cared not for the Present Truth, the latter of whom is too young for him. Are these things so?”
Jonah 9:7
@@@^Though it is not true that we hold students here against the express wishes of their parents, yet it is a fact that we are required not only to exercise a very careful surveillance over them while here, but also that we assume a very critical responsibility in the matter of their being here in school. And our hope is that the parents shall not force us to be recreant to our trust. Moreover, the supervision which we must maintain over resident students, we must also extend toward all Present Truth youth of school age. The parents should sense that Mt. Carmel, as a spiritual mother, must assume not only this responsibility toward all her children, but also that of giving them a training of a vastly different and less inferior order than that which they have ever known either in their earthly parents’ homes or in other schools. Were this not the case, then Mt. Carmel would have for the youth nothing better than that which they can receive elsewhere. If their parents do not expect Mt. Carmel to assume this responsibility and to give them an education superior to that which they could receive at home or in another school, then why should they even think of sending them here? Moreover, if Mt. Carmel, of whom is expected all the knowledge and the wisdom that Heaven sees fit to give, must, herself, be taught and instructed by the earthly parents, who, themselves, are but Mt. Carmel’s children, then either Mt. Carmel is not what she ought be, or else the earthly parents are yet sound asleep and know not what they believe!
Jonah 14:1
@@@^Only by diligent service may we hope to fill the place which God has for each one of the ever—“living saints.” And if the subjects of the “kingdom of heaven” are comparable to the infinitesimal mustard seed, which grew up to be a tree, so that the birds of the air came and lodged in the branches thereof, then shall we not arm ourselves with the power of the “Spirit of truth” (John 16:13), and be among the @9few@7 who “escape” the wrath of the Lamb and who “gather @9all@7 their brethren out of all nations”? Is not this a more glorious experience to look forward to and talk about than that often discussed ‘fleeing time,” which carries with it the conclusion that God’s people shall go into hiding instead of into glory?
Micah 6:5
@@@^My brethren, you are turning from bad to worse, and my prayer is that you may see your mistake in your attempts without inspiration, to interpret the Scriptures and to weed out the tares without God’s command, and we hope that as you read the following paragraphs you may realize that, as the “Spirit of Prophecy” long ago indicated, you have surely stepped into the tracks of Romanism (“Testimonies to Ministers,” p. 363).
Micah 7:12
@@@^“Many parents fail here. By their hasty, unfounded criticism the influence of the faithful, self-sacrificing teacher is often well-nigh destroyed. Many parents whose children have been spoiled by indulgence, leave to the teacher the unpleasant task of repairing their neglect; and then by their own course they make his task almost hopeless. Their criticism and censure of the school management encourage insubordination in the children, and confirm them in wrong habits.
Micah 8:9
@@@^“There is perfect order in Heaven, perfect concord and agreement. If parents so neglect to bring their children under proper authority here, how can they hope that they will be considered fit companions for the holy angels in a world of peace and harmony? Indulgent parents, who justify their children in their wrong-doing, are thereby creating an element that will bring discord into society, and subvert the authority of both school and church. .
Micah 12:8
@@@^“The Christian worker may be Christ’s agent in drawing these children to the Saviour. By wisdom and tact he may bind them to his heart, he may give them courage and hope, and through the grace of Christ may see them transformed in character, so that of them it may be said, ‘Of such is the kingdom of God’.”—“The Desire of Ages,” p. 517.
Nahum 2:8
@@@^Were these doctors’ cases the only ones of this character among Present Truth believers, we would not here mention it, but as there are others besides doctors in the same condition, we hope this article will be of great help to them as well as to the doctors.
Nahum 4:5
@@@^The ensuing letter from a relative and guardian of one of the boys here, shows that the boy has been contemplating going home at least for a while. But the wise and motherly answer has completely changed the boy’s attitude, and we hope that if any of the children should express any dissatisfaction with the school, the parents will use as good judgment in replying to them as the above mentioned sister has used in replying to her boy.
Nahum 4:7
@@@^@@Dear T——:@^I just got your letter and was shocked and pained beyond measure. I can’t tell you how sorry I am that you would even consider leaving Mt. Carmel. I would advise you to fight against that desire like you would fight for your life, till you conquer it. Now, T——, you know that you signed up to stay till they told you to go, so you know that if you leave they won’t take you back. And it is funny that all at once you want to go to ——— when you never have cared before. I want you to go and take the message to her, but you are not ready yet. Why don’t you stay till you are? What a loss to you and to all of us if you quit, for you are my hopes of bringing all your relatives into the fold and now you are quitting before you even start!
