preach the gospel as the apostle
Paul said some professed Christians
preached om his day, "Some indeed
preach Christ even of envy and swrife:
and some also of good will: the one
preach Christ of contention, not sin-
cerelve supposing to add affliction to
my bonds: hut the other of love, know-
ing that Tam set for the defence of the
gospel. What thens notwithstanding,
every way, whether in pretence, or in
trath, Christ is preached.” Philippians
115-18.
Some dav in the nea futore a gen:
eral cdl to come clean out of Babylon
will be issued from heaven, as recorded
in Revelation 18:1, 5: “And 1 heard
another voice from heaven, saying,
Come out of her [Babylon the Great,
the Mother of Harlots], My people,
that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that ve receive not of her plagues.
For her sins have reached unto heaven,
and God hath remembered her iniq-
uities.”
While the Fundamentalists clann
that they are the only “Bible-believing”
Protestants left in the world, they
must not forget the message of God
to Elijah. who entertained a similar
notion, that “I, even I only, am left.”
The Lord said: "Yet T have left Me
seven thousand in Israel, all the knees
which have not bowed unto Baal, and
every mouth which hath not kissed
him.” 1 Kings 19:10, 18.
Some of the Fundamentalist leaders
have made vicious and unchristian
attacks against those Christians who
observe the seventh day of the week
as God's holy Sabbath dav, and for
teaching that the saints will not receive
their reward and the gift of immortal-
itv until the resurrection morning.
They have pursued the command-
ment-keeping people of God as Saul
pursued David. Perhaps. someday their
cves will be opened and their con-
science enlightened as was Sauls in
the day he made his confession to
David, who had been anointed to be
king over Israel in the place of Saul.
David's men encouraged David to take
Saul's life. since Saul was seeking
David's life. While Saul was sleeping
soundly. David cut off a piece of Sauls
skart and held it in his hand when he
awoke Saul and informed him that he
could have as easily taken his life as he
was urged to do. but that he had no
evil in his heart and would not think
to touch the Lord's anomted. David
satd to Saul: "The Lord judge be-
tween me and thee, and the Lord
avenge me of thee: but mine hand
shall not be upon thee!” Then Saul
made his remarkable confession, “And
Saul lifted up his voice, and wept. And
he said to David, Thou art more right-
eous than [: for thou hast rewarded
me goad, whereas 1 have rewarded
thee evil.” I Samuel 24:12-17.

Perhaps the time will come when
these Fundamentalist leaders who wre
contending so earnestly for the faith
once delivered to the saints and for
Protestants to come back to the old
paths to walk in them, will discover
that then abuse of God's command-
ment-kecping people, who likewise are
contending for the same ideals and
principles of Christian faith and doc-
trine, was an unrighteous act, and that
these Sabbathkeepers were more right-
cous and loval to God than they. God
still has many of His people in Baby-
lon, that great spiritual, anti-Christian
power, or He would not issue the final
call just before the seven last plagues
are poured out: “Come out of her, My
people, that ye be not partakers of her
sins, and that ve receive not of her
plagues.” That will be the last call of
God to sinners who have transgressed
His law, just before the probation of
the human race closes for time and for
eternity. After that call has heen given
and the last sermon preached and the
last sinner saved, the decree will go
forth: “He that is unjust, let him be
unjust still: and he which is filthy, let
him be filthy still: and he that is right-
eous, let him be righteous still: and
he that is holy, let him be holy still,
. . Blessed are they that do His
commandments, that they may have
right to the tree of lilc, and mav enter
in through the gates into the cy,” —
“which hath foundations, whose
builder and maker 1s God.” Revela-
tion 22:11, 14; Hebrews 11:10.

Those who class themselves as fundamentalists should exercise every care to conform wholly
to the Bible. Failing that, they should by no means find fault with those who do.
