"But
although
the
time
has
passed,
there
still
seemed
to
be
something
yet
to
be
manifested
to
us
and
we
remained
waiting
and
expecting
until
the
doctrine
that
"the
Bridegroom
HAS
COME,'
greeted
our
ears.
.
.
.the
Bridegroom,
that
Came,
was
none
other,
than
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
as
in
Mal.

[the
Lord,
whom
ye
seek,
shall
suddenly
come
to
his
temple,
Mal.
3:1)
This
messenger
came
to
his
temple
(whose
temple
ye
are)
and
has
been
sitting
as
a
refiner
and
purifier
of
silver.
"I
believe
there
has
been
a
'remnant'
all
along
in
this
trying
process,
who
could
not
give
up
their
former
experience.
.
.the
Lord
has
been
sitting
upon
their
hearts,
purging
and
purifying
them,
and
preparing
them
for
HIS
BUILDING,
which
is
to
be
built
up
of
'lively
stones,'
and
is
coming
together,
.
.
Yes,
we
are
receiving
the
Kingdom.
"We
have
been
passing
thoough
one
severe
trial
after
another,
not
the
least
of
which
was,
to
find
and
confess,
that
we
had
been
mistaken
in
reference
to
the
manner
and
event
of
Christ's
coming,
and
then
to
be
willing
to
be
called
by
the
very
odious
name
of
'Spirituali:ers.'

"We
that
have
thus
far
looked
mostly
at
the
literal
interpretation
have
been
verily
ignorant
of
much
of
the
blessedness
and
power
of
a
class
of
scriptures,
that
teach
the
glory
that
shall
be
£
revealed
in
us
at
the
revelation
of
Jesus.
Also
respecting
the
church
representing
the
body
of
Christ
and
being
members
of
his
body,
of
his
flesh,
and
of
his
bones
while
he
is
still
"HEAD
over
all
things
to
the
Church”
and
the
"head
of
the
church.'"
