Needed Now

By Robert E. Speer

LOYALTY to the Bible, which is our one clear and certain light. Conscience is not a safe guide. In all ages men have justified themselves in wrong-doing on grounds of conscience which we all now see was not enlightened. Our best thought and feeling may go astray, and may do so even with the Scripture for a guide, because they read into the Scriptures what is not there, or do not read out of it what is there. But always at the last, men find that the true way they sought was there calling to them and waiting for them. We are faithless to our principles if we are negligent of the Bible.—Robert E. Speer, in “S. S. Times.”
