Testimony, No. 20.

THIS Testimony has just been received, and I have read it with deepest interest. I think no person who is preparing to meet God will read it without profit. The work of getting ready to meet our divine Lord, is a real work, and any light that will point out dangers, discover errors, and show wrong habits, should be most carefully examined and prayerfully carried into practice.

I have the Testimonies from 10-18 bound in one volume, also from 1-10, which I carry with me for constant reading and reference. And as I have carefully read and re-read them, I have been surprised to see dangers all around which were pointed out years ago; and many particular things mentioned I daily see transpiring. Within the last six months I have been brought into circumstances where I should have been at loss to know what to do, had I not read in Testimonies given years ago a vivid description of things as they were, and the object of Satan in them; therefore to me they have proved a blessing. If God has spoken, it is for a purpose; and the more carefully his word is heeded the more benefit will be derived from it. To merely read these Testimonies and then lay them aside, is not enough.

I recommend to all a careful and prayerful reading not only of Testimony, No. 20, but also of the others. Many will find themselves lost in the day of Judgment, when the very snare in which they became entangled, was clearly pointed out by the Testimonies, which perhaps they had read, but in as careless and heedless a manner as they would a story in an almanac. Let no one regard as unimportant any light that God has permitted to shine upon these perilous times, but gather up every ray of light, and value it as something very precious.

Denying the Resurrection of the Body.

By G. W. A.

THEODORE TILTON, of the Golden Age, is very liberal in his religious views. The spiritualists say that he “occasionally” “gives expression to ideas” that meet their “approval.” No wonder. Hear what he says about the resurrection of the body:—

“The body, once buried, shall rise again. That is, it shall decompose in the earth; it shall mingle with the soil; it shall become part of nature’s mold; it shall receive the rain from heaven; it shall quicken and revive—atom by atom; it shall struggle up, regerminate to the surface; and finally it shall appear again to human eyes—here in a blade of grass, there in a head of clover—here in a trailing vine, there in a spreading oak. This is the only resurrection of the body in which we have any faith.”

This extract is taken from a spiritualist paper (Religio-Philosophical Journal), and the editor says “the day is not far distant when Mr. Tilton will admit the truthfulness of spirit communion.” G. W. A.

The Epistles of Paul and the Gospel Biographies

Where will you find biographies so life-like as those of the gospels? Where, reasoning so full of fire, and counsels so full of point, as in the epistles of Paul? Where, such exalted meditations, expressed in terms so simple and so felicitous, as in the letters of St. John? Where, such practical wisdom as in James; such glowing eloquence as in Peter; such burning visions and imaginings as in the Apocalypse.

No man could have written Paul’s epistles who had not lived Paul’s life, and done his work; for Paul did not leap up to the platform where he stands—he rose to it step by step; and his apostolic work, with its crowding difficulties, its privations, its persecutions, and its constantly-recurring indignities, constituted those steps.—Sel.
