"Search the
Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life." Every position of
truth taken by our people will bear the criticism of the greatest minds; the
highest of the world's great men will be brought in contact with truth, and
therefore every position we take should be critically examined and tested by
the Scriptures. Now we seem to be unnoticed, but this will not always be.
Movements are at work to bring us to the front, and if our theories of truth can
be picked to pieces by historians or the world's greatest men, it will be done.
We must individually
know for ourselves what is truth, and be prepared to give a reason of the hope
that we have with meekness and fear, not in a proud, boasting, self-sufficiency,
but with the spirit of Christ. We are nearing the time when we shall stand
individually alone to answer for our belief. Religious errors are multiplying
and entwining themselves with Satanic power about the people. There is scarcely
a doctrine of the Bible that has not been denied.--Letter 6, 1886. Evangelism p. 69
