And far from ME my saints I see,
Believers do appear

Far from MY WORD that's on record,
Far from the TRUTH to stand,
Far from the SPIRIT of the LORD,
Isee, throughout the land!
Then far from ME they sure must be;
MY PROMISE who can claim,
That now MY BIBLE will not see,
The truth will not maintain?
Their sons are gone, I say, like him,
Their evil doth abound;

I know that many righteous men
Like ELI now are found;

Their sons do turn against ME strong,
Yet them they'll not reprove;
They'll find the time, before 'tis long,
That I shall shew MY LOVE

To such, they'll see, as honour me,
My favours to implore;

And then their REFUGE they may see,

To flee and sin no more;

But if they'll not, they'll see their lot→→→.

The righteous Men will fall;

For out their memories I shall-blot,

I now do tell you all :

For I'll appear to answer here,
My Gospel it must come,
The every mystery for to clear,
This way I'll answer Man."

THE SEALED BEING PRESENT AT THE TRIAL.

August 15, 1904. Information to those of the sealed number, who wish to be present at the Trial; as no one is to be refused admittance; being the principal part of a Letter, written to Mr. Hirst.

The following remarkable communication is now ordered to be printed. It is in answer to the following dream of Joanna's :-I dreamt that I had a large cloth full of eggs, and was going to put them up in a cart, without the cloth being tied, and as soon as I let go the cloth, the eggs began to tumble about the cart, and I began to pick them up, and

THE SEALED PRESENT AT THE TRIAL. 185

put them into a very large jar; there was a woman on the other side of the car and I told her to pick them up also, which she did; but the eggs rolled so fast, that I thought the greatest part of them were dashed to pieces, though the woman and I were as expeditious as possible to pick them up; yet with all our industry, we could not save the whole, and I was sorry to see so many broke in pieces.

THE ANSWER OF THE LORD.

"Now I will answer thee this simple, foolish dream, that thou never thought worth repeating or penning, before I brought it all to thy remembrance, and ordered it to be penned. The eggs are the sealed people; those that were preserved whole, are those that keep their faith whole; but those that rolled off and were broke in pieces, are those that roll off through unbelief and fall away; and it is as much impossible to restore them, as it is to put an, egg together after it is broken in pieces.

So here's the mystery of thy Dream,
That for the Sealed I'll explain;*
Into one lot they all did come,
And all their names were sign'd as one;
But when they together do appear,
And all the books are open'd here,
Then many Seals they'll find are broke,
And they may tremble at the stroke,
To see thy Trial so come on;
'Tis but the Egg of Faith can stand,
That like thy Eggs their Faith keep well,
The mysteries now I shall unfold":"
For those whose faith did fall away,
And like thy Eggs their Seals do lay,
Broken in pieces, and not whole,
I tell thee, like thy eggs they'll fall.
So this to Hirst I bid thee send,
And let him shew it to thy friends,
That wish thy Trial for to see,

With Seals that are whole to come to thee

No other way can they appear

The eggs that fell were broken there,

And so I say that Men will fall,

That have not kept their Seals all whole;
But they that have, and wish to come,
1 tell thee, I'll refuse no man,

A a

That the expences he can bear,
And wish to see thy Trial clear;
They are all welcome for to come
And see what is the end of Man,
That they that time will hear from thee;
The shadow's deep they all will see:
When thou some thousands there did meet,
Thou knowest the number it was great;
The multitude might all command,
The words that thou hadst got to say;
And so thy Trial it will be,
After some days when I appear,
And in the SPIRIT enter there,

My WILL and POWER for to shew,

And mysteries great they'll see and know;
But then I tell thee none can stand,
That are not seal'd as I command.

The meaning of the multitude: when Joanna was at Halifax, in Yorkshire, at Mr. Jowett's, about this time last year, many people came from distances; some said there were 15,000, others 9,000, and others 6,000; and Joanna believes the last number was within compass; and is a shadow of her Trial.

Now, Joanna, thee I'll answer,
As that day did then appear,
When I do bring on thy Trial,
So will Men be gather'd there:
No house for thee, they all will see,
Is large enough for Man;

So in the Field they all must yield,
And with thee for to stand,
When I do come in SPIRIT strong,
For all to know their doom.
I tell you plain, ye sons of men,
You cannot find a room
That can contain the every man,
That wish the whole to know;

Therefore in public it must be done,

And I shall order it so.

When Men are clear the calling here,

Is surely from on HIGH;

And every truth I'd prove so fair,

My friends may boldly say

"What Man can doubt we've now found out

"The hidden mysteries plain?

"We judg'd of GOD, but now 'tis know'd,

“And this we'll now maintain:

ABOUT BEING PRESENT AT THE TRIAL.

"For all is true before our view,

"And mysteries we've discern'd
"Much greater than we ever knew,
"And now we bold can stand."
This will be seen and known by Men,
When I do strong appear;

They'll know from HEAVEN the WHOLE was given,
And nothing have to fear.

Then thou must go, I tell thee so,

To meet them in the Field;

And then that day thy friends may say-
"We know our foes must yield;

"Our standing's strong, the time is come,
"Our foes must all submit ;

"And CHRIST, we see, our KING will be,
"We'll worship at his feet:

Because that Hell, we now know well,
"Its power he will destroy;

"And so bring forth a GLORIOUS EARTH,
"That we might now enjoy
"The PARADISE that is of CHRIST,
"His Kingdom we see clear,
"All things are open to our view,
"Now what have we to fear?"
Then will begin the joy to Men,
To see the rebel cast;
The mysteries here I shall not pen,
That then they'll see to burst.
So now tell all, they shall not fall,
That strong in faith do stand;
The Sealed Number may come all
To judge thy written hand,
That can appear, I tell thee here,
When in the Field I call;
That is the way, I now do say,
That I shall clear the whole.
So boldly stand, by my command,
Those that their Seal have got;
Those that have not, I'll tell their lot,
Just like thy Eggs they're broke:
And down they'll fall, I tell them all,
None but the seal'd can stand;
For in the Field the rest must yield,
When I the foe condemn:
Because, in thee they'll all find Me
In POWER Strong to break!
And those that are thy enemies,

I cannot one protect,

I tell thee, there if they appear

Into the Field to come;

Because the foe that day, they'll know,

Will feel MY POWERFUL HAND

To make him fear and tremble there,
If he my friends molest;

187.

'Tis but the Sealed I can spare,
When in the Field I burst.
So now if Men presume to come,
Without a Seal appear,

I'll tell them all their final doom,
My fury they will hear;

No friends to ME, they all shall see,
My anger it will break ;'
My Kingdom here for to appear,
My Kingdom you reject.

Then how can I, who dwell on high,
E'er vindicate my foe?

If I screen Man, who against ME stands,
Satan may answer here,

I must screen he, as well as they,

My Kingdom they despis'd.

Then how can Man the Trial stand,
When Satan I chastise?

He'th had his reign, I tell you plain,
His ending's drawing near;

And now discern, ye sons of men,
And see my Bible clear.

Isaiah xlvi. 10-" Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet doné, saying, my council shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure."Now go back to the beginning. Genesis . 18--And the Lord God said, it is not good for the Man to be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. Chap. iii. 13, 14-And the Woman said, the Serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. And the Lord God said unto the Serpent, because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field. Weigh deep the three following verses, then come to Matthew v. 18-For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Now I shall answer thee, as thou hast put one verse before the other, the last first, and the first last, just so stands my Bible, and just so was my heel bruised before Satan's head.

But when I come in power to Man,

My Father's will to clear,

The last is first, the first is last,

And I'm your HELPMATE here,
