It is a constant thing now to see men "handling the word of God deceitfully." They are conscious of its holy power over them who reverently use it, and they want to destroy that power for purposes of their own.

Next, to that supreme wickedness is the making use of the writings of men of God for purposes different than they intended-for leading souls into paths which they would have solemnly condemned.

Oh, for the prevailing mind of that dear man of God who wrote, " But we have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God " (2 Cor. 4:2).
