Studies in the Scriptures, Volume 7: The Finished Mystery

“Immediately the door opened and a man entered the room, when the other
people all left it. Then he, having a dirt brush in his hand, opened the
windows and began to brush the dust and rubbish from the room. I cried to
him to forbear; that there were some precious jewels scattered among the
rubbish. But he told me to fear not, for he would take care of them. Then
while he brushed the dust and rubbish, the false jewels and counterfeit
coin, all rose and went out of the window like a cloud and the wind
carried them away. In the bustle I closed my eyes for a moment. When I
opened them the rubbish was all gone, and the precious jewels, the
diamonds, the gold and the silver coins lay scattered in profusion all
over the room. He then placed on the table a casket, much larger and more
beautiful than the former, and gathered up the jewels, the diamonds, the
coins, by the handful, and cast them into the casket, till not one was
left, although some of the diamonds were not bigger than the point of a
pin. He then called upon me to come and see. I looked into the casket, but
my eyes were dazzled with the sight. The contents shone with ten times
their former glory. I thought that they had been scoured in the sand by
the feet of those wicked persons who had scattered and trod them in the
dust. They were arranged in beautiful order in the casket—every one in its
place—without any visible pains on the part of the man [Pastor Russell]
who cast them in. I shouted for joy; and that shout awoke me.”
