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.
