Exactly 40 years later...

Another grace parallel occurs between the closing of the door of entrance into the High Calling on Sept. 16, 1914 (E 3, p. 401; E 4, p. 464; for 80 proofs that it closed, see P.T. No. 515), and the closing of the door of entrance into the Youthful Worthy calling, exactly 40 years later, on Sept. 16, 1954 (E 10, p. 114; E 11, p. 473; P '54, pp. 41, 57).

P2 Page. 212-213: "This call, which must end when enough invited from which to complete the favored Little Flock, the body of Christ, is far from being the limit of God's love and favor and calling. Its end will close the heavenly or high calling. For where this call ends, where this door of opportunity and favor closes, another door begins to swing open..."

Common sense and previously held truths must be ignored in order to make the current Executive Trustee's "present view" seem plausible.

The Gospel Age Harvest

PT. 1975 Pg. 2, 3: But the reaping (and gleaning) of the Little Flock did not end the Gospel-Age Harvest in its wider sense, for after it was completed there was still much Harvest work to be done toward the "wheat" class, the Little Flock, in its sheaving, drying, threshing, winnowing, sifting and garnering, which did not end until in Oct. 1950. Also, the work of the "barley" harvest, the gathering and final development and preparation of the Great Company, the first class of the Epiphany's elect, for their place in the Kingdom, is not yet completed in its seven features. Furthermore, the Youthful Worthies have been active in the Harvest work of the Gospel Age ever since 1881, and are still active in it (Ruth 1-4; see E 4, pp. 369-397); and as a class they are being gathered, developed and prepared for their place in the Kingdom as the second of the two classes of the Epiphany's elect.

Letters of General Interest, PT. 1970 Pg. 80

Dear Brother Jolly: Thank you for your timely letter. I have never received a letter that did me more good. I can see the Lord's leading through different steps until I found you and received that priceless book, "The Epiphany's Elect."... I have now read several Epiphany books and have enjoyed them very much. I believe that Bro. Johnson was indeed the Epiphany Messenger and that "his works do follow him" through your movement. I receive your magazine regularly. Your lucid explanations regarding the Youthful Worthies seem crystal clear to me, and now at last I can see they have been growing side by side with the Spirit-begotten ones for quite some time...

This letter is complimentary to Bro. Johnson and Bro. Jolly. He believed Bro. Johnson was the Epiphany Messenger and that "his works do follow him" through "your" (Bro. Jolly's Executive Trusteeship) movement. It meant that Bro. Jolly supported and defended Bro. Johnson's lucid and crystal clear explanation of the Youthful Worthies. Shouldn't we?

E4. Pg. 358 - Question

E4 Pg. 358 (2): Since what date have the Youthful Worthies been developing?

E4 Pg. 318 (2): Before the General Call to the Divine Nature and joint-heirship with Christ ceased in 1881, the persons we call "Youthful Worthies" did not exist as individuals of a class; but since that time they have been, and now are coming as such into existence, and we are showing existence as such. Yea, we would not be surprised , if they become shortly very marked as a class, separate and distinct from the Little Flock and the Great Company.
