8. What promise is given to. th~se wh~ walk tW~ the narro.w
way and are faithful to the end? Matt. 24:13; 2 Ti 4:
8; Rev, 2:10.
9 .. Wl)jch way leads. to destruction, and how many choose to
walk therein? Matt. 7:13.
NOTE: "In the road to death the whole race may go,
with all their worldliness, all their selfishness, all their
pride, dishonesty, and moral debasement. There is room
'for every man's opinions and doctrines, space to follow
his 'inclinations, to do whatever his self-love may dictate.
In order to go in the path that leads to destruction, there
is no need of searching for the way; for the gate is wide,
and the way is broad, and the feet natnra!ly t1lm into the
path'that ends in death."-M.B., pp. 197, 198. .
10. What sin is committed by many of God's professed
people? Jer. 2:13; Hosea 8:8, 9.
11. With whom have they united themselves, and whose
friends have they become? James 4:4.
NOTE: "As I have of late looked around to find the
humble followers of the meek and lowly Jesus, my mind
has been much exercised. Many who profess to be look-
ing for the speedy coming of Christ are becoming con-
formed to this world, and seek more earnestly the applause
of those around them than the approbation of God. . . .
Many of .these professed Christians dress, talk, and act
like the world, and the only thing by which they may be
known, is their profession. Though they profess to be
looking for Christ, their conversation is not in heaven, but
on worldly things."-E.W., pp. 107, 108.
12. Why have so many forsaken the narrow pathway?
. What have they become, and where are they going?
1 John 2:19; 2 Peter 2:15; Phil. 3:18, 19.

will obey it, and be purified."-E.W., p. 270.
