The Great Test.

The great test of doctrine, false or true, in these days of multitudinous teaching, is God's word. Bring all things to that. Numerous voices are calling to the flock, “This is the way.” Compare these voices with the voice of God as it spake the Great Moral Code from Sinai's glory-crowned peak; compare them with the utterance of the Sermon on the Mount. “If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isa. 8: 20. Among the myriads of books seek the One Book. In the confused din of voices listen for God's voice. He has spoken in his word; he will never speak contrary to that word.
