Answer.—We are not to hold forth false hopes to anyone. Just as no more were eligible to become Ancient Worthies after the High Calling opened (Luke 16: 16; Eph. 4: 4), and as no more could become New Creatures, begotten of the Holy Spirit, prospective Little Flock members, after the door of entrance into the High Calling closed in the Fall of 1914, so since the Fall of 1954, when the Youthful Worthy call or invitation ended (E. vol. 10, p. 114; P. ’55, p. 29; P. ’58, pp. 91-93), no more have had the privilege of becoming prospective Youthful Worthies.
