In reply to our correspondent “Tried,” we would observe, that persons are continually looking to some inward feeling, instead of resting on what God has said. This is the source of very much darkness and perplexity. The Holy Spirit uses the word of God and leads the heart to feed thereon. We must have both. The word will not do without the Spirit, and the Spirit will never act without the word. Let us ever remember this. If you take the word without the Spirit, it will lead to a cold and worthless intellectualism; and if you profess to take the Spirit without the word, it will lead to fanaticism and confusion. May we learn to put things where God puts them, and keep them there.
