to become followers OF Jesus.
"ThS High Calling In Christ"
The Bible declares that now God is
sending forth high calling in
Christ" Those called during this Cos
pei Age are called to walk in Jesus
footsteps as saints. presenting their
bodies living Sacrinces' suffering with

promise to all these is that, II faith

What we plead for Is that the edu-
Gated ministers and laymen should
cease to do evil, cease to misrepresent
and traduce our gracious Creator. We
warn them that he will not hold guilt

Tile Great Revival Coming.
As for methods for the calling Of the
"elect' in this Age, we urge that
neither we nor others are wise enough
to improve upon the methods and prac-
tees of Jesus and the Apostles. We
urge that any deviation from their
Gospel of good tidlngs Of great joy
for all people" must be injurious We
urge that we Of today should preach,
as st. Peter did at Pentecost, not only
of the high calling" of the Church,
/ but also Of the worlds blessing
of Restitution of all things which God
hath spoken by the mouth Of all the
holy prophets since the world began"
Acts III, 1929.
We urge that such general presen-
tation OF Divine Justice would appeal
to all true hearts and heads in the
present time much better than any
"expedlency" preaching and prepare
all mankind the better for the future
as well as for the present life.
The great revival Of religion win

ing the great time OF trouble with
which this Gospel Age is shortly to
end Then, under the blessing of Mes

superstition and misrepresentation Of
God and CT his Plan will fee away be-
fore the presence Of the Sun Of Right
eousness, which will illuminate the
world
Then will come Gods time for bless

lished In the world with power and

to perfection, while the rebelllous,
after proper testing and provings,
"will be destroyed from amongst the
people in he Second Death"
Why should we not tell the people
plainly that there Is a special saliva
ton now in progress and that COM
mon or general one will follow for the
non.elect? why not explain to them
the great reward Of the present time
jOmt-helrshln with Messiah in the
Kingdom for which we pray, "Thy
Kingdom come; thy will be done on
earth MS In heaveu?" Why not ex-
plain to the world that restitution is
the portion of all who do not choose
TO sacrifice, but that according to their
present course, upward or downward
will be their standing future-more
