limited on every side,--might well keep us humble in the presence of Him whose knowledge is infinite;--whose attributes are all perfections;--whose very Name is ALMIGHTY!--Shall we, on the contrary, presume to sit in judgment upon His Word, which claims to be none other than the authentic record of His Providence,--the Revelation of His very mind and will?... Truly, in this behalf, beyond all others, we seem to stand in need of the solemn warning: "Dangerous it were for the feeble brain of Man to wade far into the doings of the Most High: whom although to know be life, and joy to make mention of His Name; yet our soundest knowledge is to know that we know Him not as indeed He is, neither can know Him. And our safest eloquence concerning Him is our silence, when we confess without confession that His glory is inexplicable; His greatness above our capacity and reach. He is above, and we upon earth: therefore it behoveth our words to be wary and few[402]." And this brings me naturally back to the subject of my first Sermon from this place; and enables me to conclude, as I began, with an earnest entreaty to the younger men present, that,--whatever their future destination in life may be,--but especially if the Ministry is to be their high privilege, (and the blessedness of _that_ choice they can have no idea of, until they prove it by experience!);--an entreaty, I say, that they would _now_ be assiduous, and earnest, and regular, and punctual, and devout, in their daily study of one chapter of the Bible.--And while you read the Bible, read it believing that you are reading an inspired Book:--not a Book inspired in parts only, but a Book inspired in _every_ part:--not a Book unequally inspired, but all inspired equally:--not a Book generally inspired,--the substance indeed given by the Spirit, but the words left to the option of the writers; but the words of it, as well as the matter of it, all--all given by GOD. As it is written,--"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by _every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of GOD_."
