Some Taught of God Now.
The Bible tells US hat some are
taught of God in advance of the world
"a special class, under private tuition,
as it We're. These are called a Little
Flock. We are distinctly told that
they are constituted chiefly of the
poor-not many great, not many wise,
not many rich, not many learned are
pupils in this class, receiving this spe-
cial instruction. In order to enter this
class for special, advanced instruction
in the Wisdom from Above, two par
ticular matters are requisite: (1) The
pupils must be introduced, recon-
mended, and all their course guaran-
tecd by one who stands as their Adj
vocate-Jesus. y They must make a
complete surrender of themselves to
God, promising that as they learn the
Wisdom from Above they will use it
in harmony with the Divine will.
This class. beginning with the Apos-
ties, have been in process of develop
ment for nearly nineteen centuries
and is almost completed, we believe.
Whoever would still join this class
should make haste to be enrolled-to
have his name written in the Lambs
Book of Life-Revelation 3:5; 21:27.
This might be termed a special nor
NAL school; for h graduates of this
are to be the instructors Of the
world of mankind in the e age-the
Royal Priesthood. But in addition to
privilege they will have in giving
the world The Wisdom from Above,
the noblest science and best instruc-
ton they will receive qualification
for that work by change of nature.
'F1esh and blood canno inherit the
Resurrection. Their change Is
represented by the Apostle when he
speaking of the First Resurrec-
ton class, 1T is sown in dishonor; it
is raised in glory: it is soWn in weak
ness; it is raised in power; it is sown
a natural body; it is raised a spiritual
body Corinthians 1913, A.
Our High Calling.
The great honor to be conferred up
IN the Church-namely, joint-heirship
the Redeemer in His Kingdom
md glory-is the Bibles explanation
IF the Church's special trials. To test
our loyalty, our love, our zeal for God
and for righteousness, the way to
glory now is permitted to be a narrow
one. The lessons which the. Church
must learn are to be learned under
circumstances Of greater difficulty

contrary to Gods will. The Church
is required to do all that and more.
to sacrifice earthly Mterests-every-
thing-in the service Of God and His
cause.
This is the same lesson Jesus, the
Master Himself, learned. AS we read,
learned He obedience by the
things which He suffered; and being
perfect He became the Author
Of eternal salvation to all those who
obey Him'-to all followers in His
footsteps, whom He graciously assists
by the way n encourages with His
promises and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
2:1O: SIS, 9.
The Bible shows us that at the end
IF this & some Of the Church will
pass beyond the veil to glory, honor
and immortality-in the first rank
more than mere conquernrs. These are.
the Bride, Messiah's j~oint-heirs.
There will be another and larger class
Of overcomers, faithful n loyal, but
Jealous to the same degree. They
will indeed reach the spirit plane, but
will not be of the Bride class. They
pictured as servants, the maidens
who follow the Bride into the presence
of the King. psalm 45:14.) Let us
choose the better part, that in the ex-
animation tests we may have first
honors, and hear the Masters "Well
done, good and faithful servants; enter
into the joys of your Lord"
