69
Bible wliicli makes so many a prey to tlie first Mse teacher whom they hear. They would fain have us be- lieve that " they are not learned, and do not pretend to have decided opinions." The plain truth is that they are lazy and idle about reading the Bible, and do not like the trouble of thinking for themselves. Nothing supplies false projihets with followers so much as spiritual sloth under a cloak of humility.
May we all bear in mind our Lord's warning ! The world, the devil, and the flesh, are not the only dangers in the way of the Christian. There remains another yet, and that is the " false prophet," the wolf in sheep's clothing. Happy is he who prays over his Bible and knows the difference between truth and error in religion ! There is a difference, and we are meant to know it, and use our knowledge.
