Page 8 of 19Song of Solomon 16:8
@@@^“It is a religious duty for those who cook to learn how to prepare healthful food in different ways, so that it may be eaten with enjoyment. Mothers should teach their children how to cook. What branch of the education of a young lady can be so important as this? The eating has to do with the life. Scanty, impoverished, ill-cooked food is constantly depraving the blood, by weakening the blood-making organs. It is highly essential that the art of cookery be considered one of the most important branches of education. There are but few good cooks. Young ladies consider that it is stooping to a menial office to become a cook. This is not the case. They do not view the subject from a right standpoint. Knowledge of how to prepare food healthfully, especially bread, is no mean science.
Isaiah 3:2
@@@^More and more impressive does the truth become that the Lord has prepared this place from it’s very beginning for the work which it is to accomplish. We believe this because of the fact that besides the great advantages deriving from its central location in the northern part of the western hemisphere, its geographical surroundings, and its happy endowment of nature’s choicest environment, away from all worldlings and the corrupting influences of city life, it brings to one’s soul peace and joy in the “blessed hope” which it seems no other plot of ground can do.
Jeremiah 3:2
@@@^We left Waco May 14, spending the first night in West Texas, arriving in Raton, New Mexico, early Friday afternoon, and after a pleasant little visit with one of the Present Truth believers there, we proceeded to Trinidad, Colorado, where we met Brother and Sister Warden, who were being entertained in the hospitable home of Bro. and Sister Miller. It was an enjoyable Sabbath indeed that we spent with these dear children of the Lord, and it was hard to part with them the next day, but we had an appointment in Pueblo for Sunday night, where a nice group of about fifteen hungry souls gathered in the home of Sister Lucy Hill, and fed upon the manna sent from heaven.
Jeremiah 3:7
@@@^Our party arrived in San Francisco in good time for the opening session of the Conference, and it was a real pleasure to us to meet old friends and fellow laborers, and especially to answer the many questions propounded to us concerning “The Shepherd’s Rod.” To some it was a real joy to learn that we were loyal Seventh-day Adventists, for they had been led to believe, by the false reports that had come to them, that we were now something else, and many were glad to know that our study of the added light on the Third Angel’s Message had only increased our love for the truth, and for all our brethren as well.
Jeremiah 8:8
@@@^@@Dear Brethren:@^I have been receiving the “Symbolic Code” up to the first of the year, and can say that I enjoyed reading it. But for some reason, I have not received it since. . . . I would like to have it continued. . . . I understood that you were sending out another pamphlet the first of the year. If so, I would like to have it also. Please let me know whether or not there are any charges for these, and if there are, I shall pay for them. @3(Signed) I. A., @4Anaheim, Calif.
Jeremiah 11:7
@@@^Thus will they serve God day and night, showing that they are neither to backslide nor to be on God’s side one day and on the devil’s the next but entirely and forever separated from the world, “day and night”—that is, both in time of joy, when everything is as bright as the sun, and in time of trials and hardships and all manner of adversities, when everything seems to be as dark as the night. However, those who serve God in His temple upon the earth are as though they serve Him in the one which is in heaven, for serving God on earth is serving God in heaven or wherever He is.
Lamentations 4:4
@@@^The time in which we live calls for a vigorous and thorough reformation throughout the rank and file of the Seventh-day Adventist churches. There are honest souls everywhere, both among the laity and the ministry who, though only partly seeing the abominations and the consequent need of reformation, would joyously welcome the light if they did not in many cases lack the backbone and zeal to resist the opposition.
Lamentations 4:13
@@@^@@Dear Brethren:@^I am studying the “Shepherd’s Rod” message, and am amazed at the truth of it. Brother and Sister P. S. Alen are giving me studies. I am desirous of becoming a deeper student of the message, and would enjoy receiving your monthly paper, “The Symbolic Code.” @3From@4California
Lamentations 5:7
@@@^@@Dear Brethren:@^I thank God for the precious light shining from the pages of “The Shepherd’s Rod” . . . , and especially do I enjoy “The Symbolic Code”. In it we have found the food for which we have been starving in our churches. @3(Signed) Mrs. A. R. R.@4Washington.
Lamentations 5:14
@@@^@@Dear Brother:@^About two or three years ago, some one gave you my name, and you sent me several tracts, but I was prejudiced, and to my mind they seemed to contain strange doctrine. But as I read further, my prejudice began to leave me, and the more I studied, the more light I saw, and joy sprang up in my heart to know that God was going to lead the flock away from the world.
Ezekiel 2:8
@@@^The heavy rain suddenly cooled the air, but with the bright rays of the sun, it has again warmed up, and we are now happily enjoying delightful weather, while many beautiful blooms nurtured by the showers, and surrounded by verdant foliage not yet tinted with autumn’s golden hues, are unfolding their colorful corollas, resembling the floral beauties of springtime.
Ezekiel 2:11
@@@^“Shall we, then, in the enjoyment of His gifts, forget the Giver? Let them rather lead us to contemplate His goodness and His love. Let all that is beautiful in our earthly home remind us of the crystal river and green fields, the waving trees and living fountains, the shining city and the white-robed singers, of our heavenly home,—that world of beauty which no artist can picture, no mortal tongue describe. ‘Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.’ 1 Cor. 2:9.”—“Counsels to Teachers,” pp. 54, 55.
Ezekiel 11:2
@@@^“Now God requires, not less, but greater gifts than at any other period of the world. The principle laid down by Christ is that the gifts and offerings should be in proportion to the light and blessings enjoyed. He has said, ‘For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required’.”—Vol. 3, p. 392.
Ezekiel 13:6
@@@^“I enjoy reading the Code very much, and think that it has been to our people an inspiration in way of waking them up to a sense of their duty, and I do hope to be able to send you a little money in a short time. . . . Many thanks for the Code, and with God’s leading, I think there is a bright path ahead.” @3(Signed) D.@4Calif.
Daniel 4:12
@@@^“In a divided, half-hearted life, you will find doubt and darkness. You cannot enjoy the consolations of religion, neither the peace which the world gives. Do not sit down in Satan’s easy-chair of do-little, but arise, and aim at the elevated standard which it is your privilege to attain. It is a blessed privilege to give up all for Christ. Look not at the lives of others and imitate them and rise no higher. You have only one true, unerring Pattern. It is safe to follow Jesus only. Determine that if others act on the principle of the spiritual sluggard you will leave them, and march forward toward the elevation of Christian character. Form a character for Heaven. Sleep not at your post. Deal faithfully and truly with your own soul.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 1, p. 241.
Daniel 6:6
@@@^@@Dear Brethren:@^“I am a firm believer in ‘The Shepherd’s Rod, ‘ and I hope to go through with it to the end. I am so glad that the Lord has opened my eyes to the wonderful light of Present Truth, and if He will permit me, I will carry it to others so that they, too, may embrace its sealing truth, and rejoice in it as I do. I have read some of your tracts; also the volumes one and two, and I enjoy reading the Code. It is truly ‘marvelous light’.” @3(Signed) E. J. A., @4Florida.
Hosea 5:4
@@@^I am writing a card to let you know how much we really enjoy the Code. I only wish it were possible to publish it oftener, for it contains so much valuable information. I also thank you for the tracts, for I know that everything in them is the truth which we must have. @3MRS. R.
Hosea 10:8
@@@^“Let those who gain . . . an experience in working for the Lord write an account of it for our papers, that others may be encouraged. Let the canvasser tell of the joy and blessing he has received in his ministry as an evangelist. These reports should find a place in our papers; for they are far-reaching in their influence. They will be as sweet fragrance in the church, a savor of life unto life. Thus it is seen that God works with those who cooperate with Him.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 6, p. 336.
Joel 5:3
@@@^“I am glad to be here on Mt. Carmel, and enjoy the beautiful scenery which surrounds the place. It calls to my attention the wonderful promises which the Lord has laid up for those who love Him, and it makes me more and more desirous of living up to every ray of light that He has so bountifully bestowed upon His children.
Joel 5:9
@@@^“And then, too, I am surely thankful that the message of Present Truth found me, and I realize more and more the necessity of studying the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy, for it is my aim to be found in ‘that city bright and fair, over, over there.’” @3Joyce Helman, age 13
