[Manna - June 2]
I am determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. 1 Cor. 2:2
OUR observation of those consecrated ones who
have permitted other themes than "this gospel" to engross
time and attention leads us to advise such to be
very jealous in husbanding time and talent for the
ministry of the gospel, leaving all other subjects, however
interesting, to others now, and to the future life
for ourselves, when all knowledge shall be ours.
Those
who for any avoidable cause turn aside from the ministry
of the true and only gospel, we have invariably
observed, are quickly turned out of the way or greatly
hindered in their course toward "the prize of our high
calling." Z.'95-116 R1811:5
