"The Lord evidently held them in reserve" 1881 - 1914

With a sincere heart, ask yourself these Berean questions from the Truth writings:

"When did the Youthful Worthies not exist as individuals of a class? What has transpired since then? Since the Fall of 1914? What is the reason for the Youthful Worthies coming into existence as a class? Therefore what did not happen to the surplus consecrators?"-PT. 1972 Pg. 57

"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 they have come into existence as such, and since the Fall of 1914 have become very marked as a separate and distinct class. The reason for the Youthful Worthies coming into existence as a class, though for a time undiscerned as such, is that, after the General Call ceased in 1881, more people consecrated to the Lord than could be probationarily assigned vacated crowns i.e., places in the Little Flock; and therefore the surplus consecrators, though receiving the enlightenment of the holy Spirit, were not Spirit-begotten. The Lord evidently held them in reserve; and as from time to time crowns were lost by the measurably unfaithful, He selected the most faithful and eligible of the surplus consecrators and by Spirit-begettal probationarily assigned to them the crowns that were lost. As time went on, the number of surplus consecrators in reserve continued increasing more rapidly than the number of lost crowns; consequently, a large number of these consecrators was in reserve when the last eventual Little Flock members came under the call (see PT No. 515—a copy free on request)."- PT. 1972 Pg. 34

How simple the Truth is to understand when we see why the Lord "held them in reserve" in order to complete the call to the Church in 1914.
