In this period of agitation and transition....

We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.

3 John 1:8

 

"In this period of agitation and transition, let no man blindly commit himself to predetermined views, but hold himself ready to follow truth always and everywhere. 

Let him hold his sympathies 

entirely at its disposal. 

This is the course of safety; for truth has angels, Christ, and God, upon its side; and though it had but one adherent on the earth, it would triumph all the same. 

Truth can receive no lasting detriment from the opposition of the world, and the powers of darkness, all combined. 

Its triumph is assured by the pledge of Omnipotence; and all who follow it, few in number though they be, at last will triumph with it too." Uriah Smith
