The Editor's Reply to the AboveDear Sister: Greetings in Jesus' name... Pastor Russell showed that from 1881 onward there would be some consecrated ones for whom no crowns, no places in the Little Flock,... Thus, since 1914 many additional Youthful Worthies have come forth...
...I suppose you have consecrated, or dedicated, yourself to God (Rom 12: 1; Prov. 23:26), giving up your own will self-ward and world-ward and accepting His will as your own... Obviously, however, you did not consecrate before the close of the door in 1914. It is regrettable that some are urging you to run for the High Calling at this late date. In doing so, they are not doing a Divinely approved work.
Bro. Jolly's above explanation tells us many things. 1914 is a significant date and that the door to the High Calling closes. Because the High Calling is complete, individual consecrators from 1881 - 1914 (those who are manifested as specific non Spirit-Begotten Consecrated Ones and not Spirit Begotten) are no longer a superfluity (an excessively large amount), because they flow into and became a part of the Youthful Worthy class. After 1914, the specific call to the Youthful Worthies could begin and they came forth as a separate and distinct class. This is the legacy Truth all previous Executive Trustees supported until the current one took office in 2004.
