The Inner Life

THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | JANUARY 1935

Yes, it will entail sacrifice. But will any sacrifice of self be too great, if you can help make possible within a few years a world free forever of selfishness and greed? Have you thought of what use or avail will be money and possessions, now deemed so important by self, when the world comes to that state where only a home, land enough to grow the food necessary to sustain the physical body, and clothes to cover it, will be of any value?

For before the change from the old order to the new is consummated, all that is part of the old order, all that contributed to the growth and development of self and kept men’s minds away from the Kingdom of God, must go.

Before that change comes all that is stated by the Lord, Himself, in Mathew 24:15 to 22, must come to pass. That being so, the “great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be,” has not yet visited us, and must be gone through. The world cannot escape it very much longer, from all present signs.

But the Kingdom is coming to the Earth even as He promised, and very soon—but only for those who are making the finding of it FIRST in their lives, and who in the meantime are devoting all they are and have to God for His use.

Money and possessions will be of no use in the Kingdom, where all that the Father hath is ours. For those who realize this, the Kingdom may be found even before the change. Yea, it has already been found by some, and the veil will be lifted for many others and they will find themselves in It, in the days before the Coming of the Lord.

Let all who are earnestly seeking Christ and desire only to follow and serve him, no longer allow their eyes to be blinded by self’s fears and desires. God’s Work is first and nothing must be allowed to interfere from now on to the end.

A VISION

IN THE Silence, I suddenly found myself in a great multitude of people assembled together, with Christ as our Leader. I looked around and noticed we had close-fitting helmets and garments adorned in front with a cross. The words came to me, “Soldiers of Christ.”
