THE ASCENSION
AS WE ascend into the Christ we will find that gradually the sex expression on the plane of mortality will be left behind.
The high state of ecstasy reached in the climax of sex expression will pass away, and the life-giving fluid will be retained to bring forth Eternal Preservation in the temple.
We will become married unto the Lord, whether single or married on the earth-plane. Those that are married will be as not married, and the unmarried will seek not a wife; in fact they will desire no sex-satisfaction from the opposite sex. Mankind will all be ONE, Married unto the Lord. He (The Lord) will be Mother, Father, Sister, Brother, and even Wife and Sweetheart, when we are all ONE IN CHRIST JESUS.
As the mortal puts on immortality all expression of love on the lower plane of existence will pass away, and Divine Love will be expressed unto God. He, being a jealous God, wants all our love.
As the mortal puts on immortality all appetites will pass away. All mortal thoughts will pass away as immortality takes possession of the temple. PUT YE ON THE LORD JESUS, for He only hath immortality.
There are no hypocrites in the Lord’s Body. He that is in the Lord seeks not a wife. He that is in the Lord seeks not to be loosed from a wife. He remains as he is, realizing that God is all in all. Whether married or single on the earthly plane has nothing to do with being in the Lord, for many that are married on earth are not married in heaven, and many that are single on earth are married in heaven. When we are married unto the Lord we are in contentment, whether manifest on earth as married or single. Those in the Lord’s Body know that they are married unto the Lord anyway. In this the children of the world, and the children of the Kingdom, are made manifest.
Those in the world are either seeking an earthly wife or husband, or seeking to be loosed from an earthly wife or husband. But those in the Kingdom are satisfied to remain in whatever state they find themselves, for they realize that all things are unto the Lord.
All of humanity ascends! Every mortal must put on Immortality. Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ!—S. T. N.

AFFLICTION
“EARTHQUAKES, volcanic eruptions, storms, fogs, shoalings, changes of climate, epidemics, poverty, wars, revolts, heresy, treason—what other signs does humanity expect of the threatening time? Prophets are not needed, the most insignificant scribe may testify that never, as yet, have so many dreadful forerunners of the Earth’s disintegration been gathered,” so one reads in the book, Hierarchy.
Truly, words of the seriousness of the time are no longer the babbling of alarmists. The prophetic indications of the afflictions to be manifest in this period are no longer the invention of deranged fadists. For the most simple understanding recognizes the reality of these afflictions when reading the glaring headlines proclaiming the daily facts in the press of all countries.
While science has, year after year, brought humanity as a whole together through increased speed in transportation, the radio, the telephone and other mechanical achievements, humanity as individuals has been drifting farther and farther apart, a direct result of its increasingly egotistical opinions evidenced personally, nationally and racially.
That catastrophe could be the only possible result to a civilization that attempts to reconcile a scientific convergence with a spiritual divergence in its general evolution, has been apparent to the Wise for ages. Their admonitions and warnings have been repeatedly ignored or ridiculed, and humanity now faces the resulting crisis.
However, through the afflictions that are now raging, a New Era, in majestic solemnity approaches, and it remains for all minds dedicated to the Cultural, for all hearts that seriously desire the Beautiful and the True, to assemble all their forces for the preservation of the best seeds, the strongest faith, and the greatest courage, and to be ready when the call comes.—Gene Fosdick.
