THERE is no one who cannot read with profit the following paragraph from some comments by H. Clay Trumbull on the fifty-first psalm:— "Then will I teach transgressors thy ways" (verse 13). No man can teach what he doesn't know. No man can lead where he doesn't go. No man really understands the value of that which he never had. It is he who knows the joy of forgiveness, who can teach its blessedness to the lost. It is he who walks in God's way, who can lead another there. It is he who has salvation, who appreciates its preciousness. If you want to teach, you must first be taught. If you want to lead in the way of life, you must walk therein yourself. If you would have others know how good it is to trust the Lord, you must know it yourself, to begin with. This putting of those who are not Christians to be teachers of those who are just like themselves, is at the best but setting the blind to lead the blind. Both parties are more likely to land in the ditch, than to find their way out of a wrong road into a right one. This trying to get transgressors to forsake their ways for God's way, while you are walking on before them to destruction, is as hopeless as it is foolish. Your example in a course which you do understand is a great deal more powerful than your words about a subject of which you are ignorant. Put your own trust in Jesus as a Saviour; rest on him for salvation; find joy in his service; then you may teach transgressors his ways, and be the means of converting sinners unto him.
