•The foolish persons described
at the teginning of this article
should matte each of -us consider
his own attitude towards. the
Bible. 1f we are neglecting it we
are doing so to our eternal loss
and our daily confusion. For,
without God and the revelation He
has given us of HOW we should
live and what we should tlo, we
continue as blind fools, wilfully
rejecting the light.' We may be
advanced in every form • of
knowledge. We may master the
multitudinous scientific facts and,
be, aware of the ramifications of
human wisdom. But only by the
'Bible do we find the searchlight of
the Spirit revealing our own
hearts and at the same time
showing us the way. in which we
should walk;
In the Bible we learn how to be
saved. Paul told Timothy that it
was the Holy Scriptrires that are
able to make .us wise' unto
salvation. for there we 'find the
Christ. For eactrof us there must
be a personal experience :with the
living Christ, but With' that
experience there must be an
,'understanding of who -He is. of His
Person and .Work. Others may
expand and interpret the meaning
to.us; but in the Bible, by the. Spirit
we meet Him face to face. •
To the christians may 1 say we
should be • trained- soldiers.
-knowing how to use the.Sword of
the Spirit, enlightened guides,
able to teach' others the
unsearchable riches of the books.
We should be wise with a wisdom
from above thereby
distinguishing between the true
and the.. false. The. satanic

indicates the same will come upon
those who set God's moral code
aside today."
- Ezekiel chapter nine was used
Oto show that a marking work is
now in progress, as Didur stated,
"a work accomplished by a
remnant of anointed Christians
that sets men apart from -this
doomed system for survival into a
new system.that Jehovah God has
promised."
An urgent appeal was launched
for his listeners to follow closely
the high moral standards set by
the Bible. tie cited chapter three

During -the weekend program,
