I determined not to know
any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him
crucified— 1 Cor.
2:2.

Our observation of those
consecrated ones who have permitted other themes than “this gospel”
to engross time and attention leads us to advise such to be very
jealous in husbanding time and talent for the ministry of the
Gospel, leaving all other subjects, however interesting, to others
now, and to the future life for ourselves, when all knowledge shall
be ours. Those who for any avoidable cause turn aside from the
ministry of the true and only Gospel, we have invariably observed,
are quickly turned out of the way or greatly hindered in their
course toward the attaining of the
Kingdom. |
