It is a false theory that we have "light within;" it is a false theory that we have intrinsic memory of Divine things; it is a false theory that knowledge once introduced into the mind is a permanent fixture there; and any line of action based upon these assumptions is certain to lead away from the path of life. Most men are more or less influenced by a false theory of this sort, and the effect is seen in the neglect of Bible reading, the neglect of meetings, the neglect of "the ordinances" as delivered by Paul at the command of Christ; and the effects of this neglect is spiritual death.
