THE SAINTS

	"In every age God's chosen messengers have been reviled and persecuted, yet through
their affliction the knowledge of God has been spread abroad.  Every disciple of Christ is to step
into the ranks and carry forward the same work, knowing that its foes can do nothing against the
truth, but for the truth.  God means that truth shall be brought to the front and become the subject
of examination and discussion, even through the contempt placed upon it.  The minds of the
people must be agitated; every controversy, every reproach, every effort to restrict liberty of
conscience, is God's means of awakening minds that otherwise might slumber."  MB 33.
	"Not all had bowed the knee to the idolatrous SYMBOL [or trademark] of human
power...there were some who dared disobey his [Nebuchadnezzar's] mandate...firmly the
Hebrews testified to their allegiance to the God of heaven, and their faith in His power to deliver.
The act of bowing to the image was understood by all to be an act of worship."  PK 506,507.
	"He who was our example kept aloof from earthly governments...because the remedy did
not lie in merely human and external measures.  To be efficient, the cure must reach men
individually, and must regenerate the heart...Not by the decisions of courts or councils or
legislative assemblies, not by the patronage of worldly great men, is the kingdom of Christ
established..."  DA 509.
	"I saw that the nominal churches and nominal Adventists, like Judas, would betray us to
the Catholics, to obtain their influence to come against the SAINTS.  The SAINTS will be AN
OBSCURE PEOPLE, but little known to the Catholics, but the church and nominal Adventists will
know of our faith and customs, and will betray the SAINTS and report them to the Catholics, as
those who disregard the institution of the pope, that is they keep the Sabbath [and the NAME that
represents it] and disregard Sunday [and the combination of church and state which represents
it]."  (Unpublished Manuscript, Permanent Loan)
	"And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the remnant
of her seed, who keep the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus." Revelation 12:17.
"Here is the patience of the SAINTS: here are they that keep the commandments of God and the
faith of Jesus." Revelation 14:12.

THE PARABLE

	Now you know the answers to the questions in the "Parable"; or do you?  If you knew who
the women were before you read this paper, and had not yet separated from the "sister-harlot",
your heart had previously been hardened by unbelief.  But there is hope for you; just receive
repentance as a "gift from God" and "go and sin no more."
	Regarding those of you who cannot agree with the position of this writing, we pray for you.
We would also be willing  to devote our lives for the securing of your religious freedom to differ in
good conscience.

THE CONCLUSION

	The light is shining as the dawn of a new day.  Wisdom says do not look into the light; it
will blind you. The only safe course is to let the "lamp" guide you on the "Holiness Highway". You
are held accountable for all the  glory received and all that you had opportunity to receive. "The
conclusion when all has been heard is: fear God and keep His commandments, for this applies to
every person. For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is
good or evil."Eccl.12:13,14; "Stand fast in the liberty of Christ..."  Gal.5:1.
	Note:  We are not soliciting funds.  We do not want to be accused of "unfair competition"
with the General Conference Corporation of Seventh-day Adventists. We appeal to you; cease
supporting her financially so the physical fall which follows the spiritual fall will occur more rapidly.
The longer the "sister-harlot" operates, the longer she will continue to "merchandise souls". "The
whole structure must be swept away."  DA 36.

A FINAL QUESTION

	As a Sabbath-keeper, you use Isaiah 66:22,23 as  proof of the keeping of  Sabbath in the
future new earth.  In fact it is the ONLY TEXT in all of the Bible which can be employed to draw
such a conclusion.  The question you will have to answer someday is, "Why do you not keep the
New Moon?"  You see how it is neatly connected there with the Sabbath.  Another question you
may ponder is, "If the New Moon was done away, when did type meet anti-type; and why is it to be
observed again in the future?"
	"And a great sign appeared in heaven:  a woman clothed with the sun, and the MOON
under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars..." Revelation 12:1.
