EXTRACTS

If the Lord were coming today at one o’clock, His Spirit could awaken thousands that are His, in one place even, to the truth, ‘He is coming back’, and that, too, from among those who never thought about it. They would not be at home in the subject, perhaps, nor practically their lives made ready for it; but as those to be alive and waiting for Him, they might have a child’s joy in expecting Him.

G. V. Wigram (‘Memorials of the Ministry of G.V.W. Vol. 3) Some say that there will be people who are the subjects of the work of God in the present period, who will not get the Spirit at all, and will not come into the assembly. I do not think that is so. While the Spirit is here every person who is the subject of the work of God will come into the assembly. It is a very comforting thought.

J. Taylor (Vol. 68, p.34)

All the difficulties that arise are upon the truth of the unity of the body, and as to our power to maintain it in faith; practically also the self-seeking of one member injures the whole body.

If I read a novel or visit worldly relations, I grieve the whole church of God.
