Apply Malachi 2: 1-9, and give instance of fulfillment thereot. | 19-21. What is foreshown in the questions appearing in Malachi 3:29 In the statement (a) ‘‘for he is like a refiner’s fire’’? (b) ‘And like fullers’ sope’’? q 22-24. Explain the fiery test foretold in 1 Corinthians 3: 13-15 and in Malachi 3:3, and how that test has been apphed. { 25,26. With seriptures and illustration, aceount for the manifestation of two classes as a result of the erucial tests. { 27-30. Apply the statement that ‘‘he shall sit as a iefiner and purifier of silver’’, and show the reason or necessity for that work, and the outcome thereof, Likewise the statement that ‘‘he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver’? 9 31-34. With related seriptures, explain Malachi 1:14, also 1:10, and whether these have been fulfilled, {@ 35,36. When, how, why, with what result, have the antitypical Levites been purged ‘‘as gold and silver??? § 37,38. With seriptures, show that the ‘refining with fire’ is fhe WATCHTOWER Brookiyn, N.Y. done according to the ‘‘covenant of Levi’’, and with the result foretold, 7 39. What is meant by ‘offering unto the Lord an offering in righteousness’? Jow has this been made possible, and how has that ‘offering’ been done? { 40-42. To whom does the cleansing and refining work ap, ly? What does this prove? Describe the course of action cailed for in Malachi 3: 4, 1 John 4: 17,18, Philippians 1: 28, 29, and Matthew 10: 28. q 43-/4. Referring to Malachi 3:5: Apply the expression, ‘‘T will come near to you to judgment.’’? By deseribing their course of action, and with related scriptures, identity the ‘‘sorcerers’’, and point out how Jchovah 1s fa swift witness against them’, The ‘‘adulterers’’, The ‘false swearers’’, ‘Those that oppress the hireling in Ins wages.’ Who are referred to as ‘‘the widow?’’, and ‘‘the fatherless‘'? and how are these oppressed as here foretold? 9 55. Further, with seripturcs and facts, pomt out ‘‘the stranger’’, and how he is ‘turned aside from his right’. Explain the expression, ‘IT will be a swift witness against those who fear not me.’ 7 56,57. What, then, is the present situation? and what course of action will the faithful take, in order to ‘‘abide’’, and stand’? LETTERS JEHOVAIVS BATTLE; VICTORY CERTAIN Dear Brovnkr Rea reoRD: Greetings in Jchovah’s name! Wish to take this opportunity to thank Jehovah, you and the Bethel family for the wonderful provision made for the pioncers, Three or four years ago I had a desire to be in the ‘4 front ranks’? in the Lord’s work, but, heenuse of other responsibilities, was unable to until this year. Was privileged to attend the Los Angeles convention, and it put such zeal into me that it inspired me to sign up as a Pioneer, as long as I was finally freed of responsilnhtics. The food which the Lord has so graciously provided for his people is certainly sustaimmy, uplitting and convenient at this time. Riches 18 enriching! The two issues of the May H’atchtower are timely, and there is every indication that ‘‘the time ts short’? until Satan’s end. It is indecd the gicatest privilege for any creature on earth to have a share in ‘pressing the battle to the gate’’, We ean rejoice that this 1s Jehovah’s battle; hence the assurance that the vietory is certain, May Jchovah continue to bless and guide and protect you, is my daily prayer. I also remember others of the Lord’s people. Thank you and the Bethel family again for the provision for the pioneers, Your sister m the kingdom work for Jehovah and the Greater Gideon, Lina A. CLINGMAN, Pioneer. OUR GRACIOUS LORD HAS PROVIDED Dear Broruer RurirrvorD: We trust you will pardon us for taking just a very few minutes of your precious time. We wish to thank you, and the dear Bethel family, for the most unselfish offer you and they have granted unto the pioneers, It is true, the pioneers are on the front line of the battle; but we also have always received the greatest consideration at headquarters, which gives us great cause to be thankful. Our gracious Lord has thus far made provision that we eauld continue in Ins service, even to the extent that out of our joint book fund we could contribute towards the company's good hopes. Your kind offer 1s encouraging us to do even better. We pray that the Lord may bestow upon you, and upon your coworkers, the richest blessing of peace and prosperity. With heartfelt appreciation toward our dear heavenly Father for this provision, we remain Your sisters, Linnman J. CG. Wire anpD Ross GREINACHER, Pioneers. NOTHING ELSE COUNTS NOW DEAR Broture RerucnrorD: The important question your letter in Riches asks more than deserscs an answer, Dear brother, we recall how the Lord asked Peter to feed His sheep, and now using you ag an instrument in His hand we are asked to do the sume work. By the Lord’s great mercy and protection at this niost gloriously mspiring tume we answer ‘Yes’?’, We will go with you through every attack of Satan’s crowd in order to earry this messaye to the great multitude. Nothing else counts now as of any importance in the lives of those who are sinecre in this work of all works. Be well assured of our constantly increasing joy, enthusasm, faithfulness, loyalty and simeere effort to stand by you im obedience to the command of the dear King we love so well. As Paul said he counted all else as loss, so du we, dear brother. At the Baltimore convention wo felt hke throwing our hats in the air at the conclusion of your great flood of truth, knowing that our King 1s marching on and that we are permitted to devote ourselves to this work. When we heard the Los Angeles friends singing so far away it reminded us of the angels, who were also singing, Your important letter well desersbes the present situation, Rest assured, dear brother, and rejoree greatly that we will work harder and longer than ever to magnify the name of our grent Creator; and when the feet refuse to fo any longer, the message will be blazing away anyhow from the beautiful new eleetric signs and sound cats. Pray for us, dear Brother Rutherford, that we may reevive the Lord’s strength to push this battle to the gute. WILMINGTON (Del.) CoMPaNy, FOR JEHOVAH AND FOR GIDEON DEsR Brotuer RUTUERFORD: We heard and enjoyed your talk yesterday [February 23] very much, but were disappointed when KGITR, Butte, Montans, took upon themselyes the hberty of censorung your lecture a3 controversial and of cuttmg you off about ten to twelve mainuics before the close. We tried KSL and shoiteave, but were une able to hear your elosing remarks. We thought probably other stations had exercised the same ‘‘rights’’, but found out teat my parents had heard it to the finish from Jlonolula. We expressed our disappoimtmeat to KGIR for cutting sou off. They certainly are very cowardly. May God bless you in your efiorts to serve him. with you for Jehovah and for Gideon, Mr anp Mrs, B.
