WHO ARE the Elect? They are those who have elected Christ as their Lord and Master, and Whom only they look to and are following. By that we mean—they are following the Christ within, their own Divine Self, and no other Teacher or Authority.

Are you doing that? Are you sure? Then you are one of the Elect. If you are not wholly doing it now, you still have the opportunity of doing it before September, 1936; for maybe at that time “we that are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”—1 Thes. 4:17.

It is more than possible; for the “Great Tribulation” which precedes His Coming may be what the world has been going through the past six years, and the “Battle of Armageddon” may be the final economic battle that will be fought before September between the forces of righteousness and those of the darkness, the latter of which, led by Anti-Christ, are now trying to get control of the world. And who will say that Anti-Christ is not now manifest in the world, and is not almost in complete control? Think this over, you who believe in the Pyramid and Bible prophesies.

This being possible and that we may now indeed be in the “Last Days,” read carefully verses 36 to 51 in Matthew 24, noting particularly the following:

“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no not the angels of heaven, but my Father only;” how some shall be taken and others left; and how we are to “watch, for we know not what hour your Lord doth come.”

Yes, dear friends, it is your Lord you must watch for—watch very carefully. For He may call you any hour, any moment! And you must not be so engrossed in selfish material interests, indulging so thoughtlessly in the pleasures of the senses, that you cannot hear His silent Voice within, cannot get His leading and heed it, when He would save you from disaster when it befalls your city or community. For it would seem that the “Great Tribulation” must culminate outwardly in some such form.

How are you to prepare yourself? By this moment beginning to wait upon and serve your Lord to the exclusion of everything
