Prove All Things.

The apostle Paul says, "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." 1 Thes. 5 : 21. The first injunction is necessary, in order to fulfill the second. For the only way to determine whether a matter is good is to prove it. Prejudice condemns or accepts without a hearing. Solomon says: "He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is even a folly and a shame unto him." Prov. 18 : 13.
Our appeal is to the reason and the judgment. The Scriptures are our rule of evidence.
