The Power of a Little Truth

"I desire to know the power of a little truth, rather, far rather, than to increase the stock of truths."
This, beloved, is surely a "desire" which it would be profitable for us all to have, and to know the accomplishment of in our experience.
There is a great danger, in these days of abundant information, of gathering mere geological specimens of truth, if I may so express it, and having a fine stock of them in our heads, instead of having them in our hearts, in the power of the unction from the Holy One, teaching us in such a way as to humble us and fill us with real knowledge of our blessed Lord Jesus.
O my soul! dost thou really know in the grace and power of the Holy Ghost the truths which thou hast learned?
