.... because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts
by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Romans 5:5
"The servants of the Lord have trusted too much to the strength of argument. . .
*....the mere argument of the truth will not move souls to take a stand with the remnant;
*for the truth is unpopular.
The servants of God must have the truth in the soul.
They must get it warm from glory, carry it warm in their bosoms, and pour it out in the warmth and earnestness of the soul to those that hear.
A few that are conscientious are ready to decide from the weight of evidence; but it is impossible to move many with a mere theory of the truth.
There must he a power to attend the truth,
a living testimony to move them."
