Were they not just as faithful?

PT April, 1940, page 53: "The above seven lines of Scriptural thought prove that in the end of the Gospel Age and in the Millennial Age there is a class that is separate and distinct from the Little Flock, Great Company, the Ancient Worthies and the Restitution Class, a class faithful to God while Satan, sin and death hold dominion over the earth, and afterward associated with the Little Flock, the Ancient Worthies and the Great Company in blessing the World of Mankind, the Restitution Class. Therefore we conclude that the Youthful Worthies are those faithful brethren who, consecrating since 1881, are not Spirit-begotten."

If there were Youthful Worthies consecrating from 1878-81, as the Executive Trustee says, why then did Bro. Johnson not include them here?
