Who was ,to blame" One's naturarreactlon to these imagined absurdities is: Only a fool would act likethat.

We may be advanced in every form • of knowledge. We may master the multitudinous scientific facts and, be, aware of the ramifications of human wisdom. But only by the 'Bible do we find the searchlight of the Spirit revealing our own hearts and at the same time showing us the way. in which we should walk; In the Bible we learn how to be saved. Paul told Timothy that it was the Holy Scriptrires that are able to make .us wise' unto salvation. for there we 'find the Christ. For eactrof us there must be a personal experience :with the living Christ, but With' that experience there must be an ,'understanding of who -He is. of His Person and .Work. Others may expand and interpret the meaning to.us; but in the Bible, by the. Spirit we meet Him face to face. • To the christians may 1 say we should be • trained- soldiers. -knowing how to use the.Sword of the Spirit, enlightened guides, able to teach' others the unsearchable riches of the books.
