Studing the scriptures with the aid of our Pioneer brethren has proved very fruitful in coming to understand not only the Doctrines of the Truth, but also the Prophetic Word and the spirit of the Truth.
| Brother HP Mansfield saw this as a way of maintaining the standards and upholding the purity of the truth as set out so clearly by Brother Thomas and Brother Roberts. In Logos Vol 17 (September 1950) he had this to say:
"Group study of the Word of God with the aid of the writings of the pioneers in the friendly atmosphere of the home has become an integral feature of Ecclesial life in Australia. Known as the "Elpis Israel" Classes, this form of Ecclesial activity has flourished in some parts, although in others it has not shown great growth. Where the idea of such study has had Ecclesial encouragement, such as in Adelaide, the work has rapidly progressed, and its effect for good has been seen in the vigorous and lively attitude to the Truth manifested by the individuals of the Body... With the blessing of God and the encouragement of the Brotherhood, these classes can have a very powerful influence for good, and go on from strength to strength to the benefit of all features of Ecclesial life." |
| "Every brother and sister, without exception, ought to possess, if possible, but, at least, ought to read, or get read to them, Elpis Israel and Eureka. To strive earnestly to possess the knowledge which is blessed is Christadelphian-like, but to be wise in our own conceits, and stupidly refuse the knowledge, is simply brutish."
