Since the Executive Trustee's new Youthful Worthy call in 1878 begins at the same time as the No-Ransomism sifting during the Gospel-Age Harvest (see references below), we have conflicting statements that need fixing on page 426. Bro. Johnson is clearly showing us that the Youthful Worthies were not referred to in this parable and that none were in existence until after the general call ceased. To help the Executive Trustee out, we've added these new Youthful Worthies to the time period without including them in the parable. It doesn't quite work, but it is the best solution we can offer.

PT May-June 1978, p. 38: "As the 1845-year parallel, in the Spring of 1878, 100 years ago, the No-Ransomism sifting began in the Gospel-Age Harvest, with our Lord driving away the unworthy from His Temple class."

PT Sept-Oct 1989, p.68 under the title No-Ransomism Sifting Begins: "But while we were thus helped to clearer views and brighter hopes and while we diligently endeavored to help others, the Spring of 1878 proved far from a blessing to Mr. Barbour and to many under his influence."
