Testimony No. 14.

As I read it, I thought, Where is the people so blessed as this people, with whom is the counsel of the Lord? How humble we ought to be before the Lord that his Spirit may still speak to us, and counsel us, and direct us. And as I read the reproof therein, the words of the apostle came to my mind, “There is none righteous, no, not one. There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.” Rom. iii, 10–12. How soon would we perish where no vision is! Praise God that he has those through whom we may be warned, by whose testimony we may walk.

While the rod is laid upon one member I want to bow beneath it with that one. I do not wish this to be my position, that when correction comes to others I shall be quick to smite too, but remembering that,

“If strength be but human, How weak were we all,”

ask of the Lord strength to not fall where others fall, but meekly to follow that guiding hand that leads safely through this tangled, dreary wild of sin and temptation, to the undefiled city, the peaceful home above.
