Permanent Marker Series: E4, Page 318


(Click the above image for best quality.)
We're on page 318 and in need of a new marker. The Executive Trustee mentioned this reference during a California convention where he asked the brethren if they knew how to read. As you can see from our edits, he should have addressed himself. In order to make it work for him, we have to move the date and activity of individuals from 1881 to 1878 and the Epiphany class time period "now are" to 1881.

As was previously shown on this blog, the grammar is clear when you look at it. With our bracketed comments, the first part says: "Before the General Call to the Divine nature and joint-heirship with Christ ceased in 1881, the persons that we call 'Youthful Worthies' did not exist as individuals of a class; but since that time [the date given, 1881] they [plural, these persons or individuals] have been [in existence], and now [when written, in the Epiphany] are coming as such [a class] into existence, and are showing evidence of existence as such [a class]."
