shall see God." "Without holiness no man shall see the Lord." Thegreatest joy of our hearts is to know that "all nations shall come andworship, in his presence." Your brother laborer in the harvest-field.__________.R773 : page 12====================YOUR STANDING.We publish the following letter and its answer, as they may be ofassistance to others of similar mind.MR. C. T. RUSSELL, Dear Sir:--I write to solicit two copies of"The Tabernacle and its Teachings," as I have just found wherethey are needed. I regret that I am unable to send a mite for the tractfund with this note. I am only a sinner, but I take great interest inthis work. I do what lies in my power to propagate these truths, butfew seem to have any curiosity, and still less the patience toinvestigate, yet occasionally we find one who is willing andanxious to search and find.I have always ridiculed orthodoxy, but have believed in the divinityof Christ. The WATCH TOWER has made the Bible very plain tome, and although I often feel myself a castaway, it is a greatcomfort to know that such a glorious future is soon to dawn uponthis dying world. In reading the letters and articles of the WATCHTOWER I see that some are drinking the cup of which he drank,and are being baptized into his death. It seems to me impossiblethat any who have been so enlightened by the Spirit and exalted tosuch fellowship with God should falter or suffer any influence ofevil in to any measure separate them from the love they have inhim.If in early years I had known what I now know, I might have beenamong your number, but doubtless it is well.Yours very truly,__________.DEAR BROTHER:--I presume you will be somewhat surprisedthat I address you as brother when you do not seem to reckonyourself a child of God. But of one thing I feel quite sure, that ifyou are not a brother of the anointed company, you are a brother ofthe household of faith--a sinner SAVED BY GRACE--andtherefore not now a sinner. The weaknesses of our flesh which willnot permit our perfect conformity to the will of God, are notimputed to us. They are not reckoned as our sins. Our sins were alllaid upon Jesus who bore their penalty for us. Please read in theTOWER of March, 1884, the article entitled, "Lost and Saved," andI think you will see that I am right in calling you brother.But it may be that even in a higher sense you are a brother, yet notfully discerning your high relationship to God and his anointed.
May it not be with you as it has been with many others, that youhave at some time in the past given yourself to the Lord fully and inall sincerity, yet because of surrounding temptations, and only avague indefinite knowledge of our Father's will and plan, you hadgrown cold and even forgetful of your covenant? If so, the truthnow made so clear to your mind should be regarded as a specialincentive urging you to fulfill your covenant, and thus make yourcalling and election sure. It is our Father's good pleasure to give usthe kingdom, hence the special incentives now made so manifest inthis special time of need. The restitution, or restoration to humanperfection, which is to be the portion of the mass of mankind, willindeed be a glorious portion; but those who have once presentedthemselves as living sacrifices, holy, (justified) and thereforeacceptable to God, can never be developed to human perfection(restitution); such are "new creatures in Christ" (spiritual) and asnew creatures they must be developed. The human once given upand accepted of God, cannot be taken back.Think well, dear brother, and in the light of God's truth determinewhat is your position and calling, and then run with patience therace set before you, whether it be for human or for spiritualperfection.May the Lord richly bless you and lead you to a yet fuller andclearer apprehension of his glorious plan and his will concerningyou.====================
