“YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH. BUT IF THE SALT LOSES ITS SALTINESS, HOW CAN IT BE MADE SALTY AGAIN? IT IS NO LONGER GOOD FOR ANYTHING, EXCEPT TO BE THROWN OUT AND TRAMPLED UNDERFOOT. YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. A TOWN BUILT ON A HILL CANNOT BE HIDDEN. NEITHER DO PEOPLE LIGHT A LAMP AND PUT IT UNDER A BOWL. INSTEAD THEY PUT IT ON ITS STAND, AND IT GIVES LIGHT TO EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE. IN THE SAME WAY, LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE BEFORE OTHERS, THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD DEEDS AND GLORIFY YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.”

—Matthew 5:13–16

GREETING FROM THE TERRITORIAL LEADERS Dear Reflectors of Holiness, Welcome to your officer training experience! We are blessed to know you have answered God’s calling on your life and are taking this further step within His will. The days that lie before you will be filled with new friends, new opportunities, increased challenges to grow and to learn. As you take advantage of these experiences, we pray you will be open to God’s presence and His preparing. May you hear His voice as you continue your personal journey of spiritual development. Learn much. Take hold of every opportunity. Live in joy. Be an active learner. Be a reflector. You are needed in this world - and in our Army - to be true ‘reflectors of His holiness’. As we can only reflect what already is present in our lives, it is our fervent prayer that you will be recognized as His - through every thought, word and deed. And remember - the entire USA Eastern Territory is cheering you on in this spiritual journey! “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.” —2 Corinthians 3:18 May God richly bless you!

WHO IS ON TH E LOR D ’ S SID E ?

SO N G #9 92 1. Who is on the Lord’s side? Who will serve the King? Who will be His helpers Other lives to bring? Who will leave the world’s side? Who will face the foe? Who is on the Lord’s side? Who for Him will go?

3. Jesus, Thou hast bought us Not with gold or gem, But with Thine own lifeblood For Thy diadem. With Thy blessing filling Each who comes to Thee, Thou hast made us willing, Thou hast made us free.

By Thy grand redemption, By Thy grace divine, We are on the Lord’s side; Savior, we are Thine.

4. Fierce may be the conflict, Strong may be the foe, But the King’s own army None can overthrow. Round His standard ranging, Victory is secure, For His truth unchanging Makes the triumph sure.

2. Not for weight of glory, Not for crown and palm, Enter we the army, Raise the warrior psalm; But for love that claimeth Lives for whom He died; He whom Jesus nameth Must be on His side.

Master, Thou wilt keep us, By Thy grace divine, Always on the Lord’s side, Savior, always Thine.

WELCOME MEETING SONGS

STORM T HE FORTS OF DA R K N E SS

S O N G #9 8 0 1. Soldiers of our God, arise! The day is drawing nearer; Shake the slumber from your eyes, The light is growing clearer. Sit no longer idly by While the heedless millions die, Lift the bloodstained banner high And take the field for Jesus. Storm the forts of darkness, Bring them down, bring them down! Storm the forts of darkness, Bring them down, bring them down! Pull down the Devil’s kingdom Where’er He holds dominion; Storm the forts of darkness, Bring them down! Glory, honor to the Lamb, Praise and power to the Lamb, Glory, honor, praise and power, Be forever to the Lamb!

2. See the brazen hosts of Hell, Their art and power employing, More than human tongue can tell, The blood bought souls destroying. Hark! from ruin’s ghastly road Victims groan beneath their load; Forward, O ye sons of God, And dare or die for Jesus. 3. Warriors of the risen King, Great Army of salvation, Spread His fame, His praises sing And conquer every nation. Raise the glorious standard higher, Work for victory, never tire; Forward march with Blood and Fire And win the world for Jesus.

Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. All who have this hope in Him purify themselves, just as He is pure.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. JEREMIAH 29:11

But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all—how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?

Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 1:6

But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
