A new standing or an old standing?

Standing is defined in the American Heritage Dictionary as the status with respect to rank, reputation, or position in society or a profession. In PT July-August 1961, Bro. Jolly applies this definition in the same fashion to the opening of two NEW classes.

Page 58: "Furthermore, after 1914 another completion—the ending of the Parousia in its narrow or restricted sense (the reaping period) and the close of the door of entrance into the High Calling—and another concomitant beginning—the beginning of the Epiphany period in its first lapping beginning and the opening of a new standing, i.e., Youthful Worthiship, for all new consecrators after 1914—began to be preached from the Scriptures and the Parousia Messenger's teachings by Bro. Johnson and others who joined him."

One paragraph later: "... the beginning of the Basileia (as a stage of our Lord's Second Advent) in its first lapping beginning and the opening of a new standing (i.e., as Consecrated Epiphany Campers) for all new consecrators after 1954—has been preached from the Scriptures and the Epiphany Messenger's teachings."
