Homilist Psalm 119:99-100 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for your testimonies are my meditation.… I. THE POWER OF RELIGIOUS KNOWLEDGE. II. THE INFERIORITY OF MERE INTELLECTUAL ATTAINMENTS. The meanest student of Scripture is wiser than the most learned professor of scientific knowledge. He is wiser — 1. Scientifically. Boasted science is all chaff; after all, it comes back to the Scripture. 2. Morally. No system of ethics is perfect but the Scripture system. 3. Practically. No other writers can tell of what is beyond and what is the course to be pursued in relation thereto. III. THE POWER AVAILABLE, TO ALL. Meditation on God's testimonies. Meditation includes — 1. Reading. This is the first step. 2. Digesting. Dwelling on, feeding upon, making them part of our intellectual selves. 3. Carrying out in action. The real test of all consists in development and the outward proof of the inward principle. (Homilist.)
