Definition of Assurance (Merriam-Webster): the state of being assured: a being certain in the mind: confidence of mind or manner: easy freedom from self-doubt or uncertainty.
BS, August 1952, Page 68--"But how can one who has not experienced Spirit-begettal tell the difference between it and the witness of the Spirit which is granted in the case of the prospective Youthful Worthies? The latter is in many respects very similar to the former (see Christ-Spirit-Covenants, Chap. X). It may help us to appreciate the matter better if we bear in mind that ever since 1881 there has been no assurance of Spirit-begettal (F 156; see The Epiphany's Elect, pp. 419, 437)."
If there were fully-consecrated Youthful Worthies between 1878-1881, based on the "present view" of the Executive Trustee, then the above quote is incorrect. Everyone before 1881 had that assurance of Spirit-begettal, so there were no Youthful Worthies before that time (there were tentatively justified ones on their journey to full consecration).
