"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable."—2 Tim. 3:16.

Loyalty to God and the unchangeable principles of his truth is demanded now as never at any other age of the world. Men can never be helped by compromise of truth or integrity. Let God and truth be first, and then they are our helpers.

The truth of the Bible cannot be learned by simple study alone. We must approach the book with a right spirit, with heart meek and humble, with a desire to know and do the truth. To the froward God will show himself froward, but the meek will he guide in judgment and teach his way.

Numbers do not affect the truth. All the world save one may hold to a doctrine or a theory, but that does not make the theory true. The one regarded by all the world as wrong, may be right. He certainly is if he is on the side of God and his truth. This is the standard. Let us be careful to know, not what men say of the truth, but what the truth says.
