@@@^“I immensely enjoy Mt. Carmel and its school, and it is my desire to be a willing servant of the Lord’s, so that I may be one of the 144,000, who are to proclaim the message in the loud cry. With the Lord’s help I can and will be among His chosen.” @3Helen Safley, age 14
Joel 7:3
@@@^Needless to say then, that it was a happy prospect that was mine when, recently, an old friend and neighbor, who was making a trip to Houston, Texas from Hendersonville, North Carolina, invited my companion and me to accompany him, as he would be going alone. And while we had not thought of making the trip so soon, yet we felt impressed that the Lord was opening the way, and we dared not reject any invitation from Him, so after a two weeks’ stop in Houston, where we held studies nearly every day, we were happy to find ourselves on Mt. Carmel, enjoying the association of those who have been directed here from many parts of the country.
Joel 7:10
@@@^We are enjoying our sojourn here, and our earnest desire is that we shall make some small contribution toward the advancement of the work for which Mt. Carmel stands, knowing that from this place there is to go forth literature and workers with the stamp of God’s approval upon the—books and tracts, containing nothing but the truth, and men and women who would rather die than belie their profession—and for this noble service to the church and the world, we join in earnest prayer with the Present Truth believers the world over. @3E. T. W.
Amos 4:7
@@@^“As man came forth from the hand of his Creator, be was of lofty stature and perfect symmetry. His countenance bore the ruddy tint of health, and glowed with the light of life and, joy. Adam’s height was much greater than that of men who now inhabit the earth. Eve was somewhat less in stature; yet her form was noble, and full of beauty. . . .
Amos 5:4
@@@^“The creation was now complete. ‘The heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.’ ‘And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.’ Eden bloomed on earth. Adam and Eve had free access to the tree of life. No taint of sin, or shadow of death, marred the fair creation. ‘The morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy.’
Amos 6:13
@@@^If the redeeming of saints must spell divorce for them, why, then, should God compose the kingdom of both sexes? Would Adam, who chose to die rather than to part from Eve, enjoy life, if, upon returning to his Eden home, his wife should be missing, or if he should then have to divorce her?
Obadiah 7:3
@@@^We read from the Spirit of Prophecy that “Unselfish liberality threw the early church into a transport of joy; for the believer knew that their efforts were helping to send the gospel message to those in darkness. Their benevolence testified that they had not received the grace of God in vain. What could produce such liberality but the sanctification of the Spirit? In the eyes of believers and unbelievers it was a miracle of grace.”—“The Acts of the Apostles,” p. 344.
Obadiah 8:10
@@@^“The selfish love of ‘me and mine,’ keeps many from doing their duty to others. Do they think that all the work they have to do is for themselves and their own children? ‘Inasmuch,’ says Christ, ‘as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.’ Are your own children of more value in the sight of God than the children of your neighbors? God is no respecter of persons. We are to do all we can to save souls. None should be passed by because they have not the culture and religious training of more favored children. Had these erring, neglected ones enjoyed the same home advantages, they might have shown far more nobility of soul and greater talent for usefulness than many who have been watched over day and night with gentlest care and overflowing love. Angels pity these stray lambs; angels weep, while human eyes are dry, and human hearts are closed against them.”—“Testimonies for the Church.” Vol. 4, p. 423.
Obadiah 9:9
@@@^Hence, unless parents, guardians, and all Present Truth believers, herewith resolve that they will come up to the help of the Lord by making a covenant by sacrifice, thus placing themselves squarely under the burden not only of relieving the school of its present indebtedness, but also of maintaining it in the future, the management will have no alternative but to proceed according to the instruction set forth in the foregoing quotation from the Spirit of Prophecy, which would mean that a number of worthy students now enjoying the advantages and benefits to be secured at no other school than Mt. Carmel would have to leave because of an inability to meet the increased expenses.
Obadiah 11:12
@@@^“Although I have been an Adventist since 1913, I do not get to attend Sabbath School and church. But I do receive the Symbolic Code, and though I am past seventy-four years of age, I can still read, and this Present Truth magazine means more to me, and brings me more joy, than all the sermons I could listen to, for I believe that it carries the truth for these last days.” @3(Signed) Mrs. A. K. Rogers@4Oklahoma
Jonah 2:2
@@@^To my indescribable joy, not a condemnatory word for my transgressions fell from his lips; but rather, an opportunity was given me to confess my sins, and to accept the high and exalted privilege of being one of the 144,000, who are to “stand with the Lamb on Mt. Zion.”
Jonah 13:13
@@@^I said to myself, if these poor souls could be allowed to hear the wonderful prophecy of Ezekiel Four which, among many other prophecies, no other message but “The Shepherd’s Rod” has been able to interpret within the scope of logic, they would awake and leap for joy, exclaiming from their hearts, “Once we were blind, but now we see!”
Micah 5:22
@@@^“For some time the brethren at our church have refused to admit inside anyone connected in any way with the ‘Shepherd’s Rod’ message. But last Sabbath, I, as usual, presented myself at church, and inasmuch as no one attempted to keep me out, I joyfully entered. In about ten minutes, the elders approached me with this urgent request, ‘Sister————, you must leave church.’
Micah 11:11
@@@^Most children in this Laodicean age, are raised up like plants instead of like trained human beings. Because of the parents’ poor judgment and blind love, the children are left ignorant of life’s duties, and the result is that when they are grown up and obliged to care for themselves, they find life a drudgery instead of a joy, and anything they attempt to do appears to them as being hard and impossible. Their homes are untidy and unsanitary—unfit to live in. Such children may be compared with grass hoppers; who, playing, singing, and sunning themselves all the summer long, giving no thought for the approaching winter, when the green grass shall disappear and cold weather set in, find themselves unprepared, and thus starve and freeze, while the ant, who has busily worked the whole summer through, has plenty to eat and a good warm place to live in.
Micah 12:5
@@@^“Let not your unchristlike character misrepresent Jesus. Do not keep the little ones away from Him by your coldness and harshness. Never give them cause to feel that heaven will not be a pleasant place to them if you are there. Do not speak of religion as something that children cannot understand, or act as if they were not expected to accept Christ in their childhood. Do not give them the false impression that the religion of Christ is a religion of gloom, and that in coming to the Saviour they must give up all that makes life joyful.
Micah 12:6
@@@^“As the Holy Spirit moves upon the hearts of the children, cooperate with His work. Teach them that the Saviour is calling them, that nothing can give Him greater joy than for them to give themselves to Him in the bloom and freshness of their years.
Micah 15:9
@@@^Let believers of Present Truth, as they assemble together for worship, lift their hearts and voices heavenward, in this song of experience and praise, and as they thus “sing a new song” and “make a joyful noise,” “they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord.” (Isa. 24:14.)
Nahum 2:1
@@@^Feeling sure that our brothers and sisters who are in the harvest field will be filled with joy fully to realize that Mt. Carmel is truly caring for the little ones as well as for the older ones, we herewith announce to ‘all our brethren that her newly adopted ones now number thirteen.
Nahum 3:10
@@@^“The selfish love of ‘me and mine,’ keeps many from doing their duty to others. Do they think that all the work they have to do is for themselves and their own children? ‘Inasmuch,’ says Christ, ‘as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to Me.’ Are your own children of more value in the sight of God than the children of your neighbors? God is no respecter of persons. We are to do all we can to save souls. None should be passed by because they have not the culture and religious training of more favored children. Had these erring, neglected ones enjoyed the same home advantages, they might have shown far more nobility of soul and greater talent for usefulness than many who have been watched over day and night with greatest care and overflowing love. Angels pity these stray lambs; angels weep, while human eyes are dry, and human hearts are closed against them. If God had not given me another work, I would make it the business of my life to care for those whom others will not take the trouble to save. In the day of God, somebody will be held responsible for the loss of these dear souls.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 4, pp. 423, 424.
Nahum 7:9
@@@^Words cannot express the joy that comes to me as I feed upon the “green pastures” to which the Rod has led me. Ps. 23. Mic. 7:14. I am glad to “pass under the Rod” (Ex. 20:37), and go in and out and find pasture. John 10:9. For years past in my sleepy Laodicean condition, I could hear the Lord’s voice, but I could not open the heart’s door because there was so much rubbish in the way. But now that I have opened the door, the Dear Saviour comes in and sups with me. Rev. 3:20.
