Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Madison Avenue Lectures You will therefore, I am sure, regard as timely an argu ment for the soundness and sacredness of the principle, that the Bible is the only proper standard of Christian faith and practice - a principle which may be easily drawn from the language of my text: Howbeit, when He, the Spirit of truth shall come, he will guide you into all the truth. Not - as the authorized version, which omits the article, may suggest - into all truth of whatever domain, scientific, historic, philosophic; but into all the truth which pertains to the religion of Christ as adapted to men in their present state, and which, by its office in making known the moral perfections of God and the way of eternal life for man, outshines all other truth, even as the sun at noonday outshines all other light. Into this truth, the highest and the best, was the Holy Spirit to guide the eleven disciples addressed by our Saviour; and it will be my aim to show that the promise recorded in my text involves the divine authority and completeness of the Bible, as a source of Christian truth.
