Chapter 6<br />

Human Needs <strong>and</strong> Divine<br />

Supply<br />

I would address those who preach the word:<br />

"The entrance of Thy words giveth light; it giveth<br />

underst<strong>and</strong>ing un<strong>to</strong> the simple." All the advantages<br />

<strong>and</strong> privileges that may be multiplied for your<br />

benefit, that you should be educated <strong>and</strong> trained,<br />

rooted <strong>and</strong> grounded in the truth, will be no real<br />

help <strong>to</strong> you personally unless the mind <strong>and</strong> heart<br />

are opened so that truth shall find entrance, <strong>and</strong><br />

you make a conscientious surrender of every habit<br />

<strong>and</strong> practice, <strong>and</strong> every sin that has closed the door<br />

against Jesus. Let the light from Christ search<br />

every dark corner of the soul; with earnest<br />

determination adopt a right course of action. If you<br />

hold on<strong>to</strong> a wrong course, as many of you are now<br />

doing; if the truth does not work in you with<br />

transforming power, so that you obey it from the<br />

heart because you love its pure principles; be sure<br />

that for you the truth will lose its vitalizing power,<br />
