Synopsis

Excerpt from The Inspiration and Authority of the Holy Scriptures: An Address to the Alumni by the Rev. Principal Sheraton, D.D., October 3rd, 1893

Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the \vord of God, which is the only ground and war rant of faith. Hence St. Paul's earnest desire for the Corinthians that their faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God and his thankfulness for the Thessalonians, that they had received the Gospel, not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God.

The tendency to substitute man's word for God's, or to bring'down God's Word to the level of man's, is not peculiar to the present age. It runs through the whole course of church history, and it mani fests itself in three forms - sacerdotalism, mysticism, and rationalism. In sacerdotalism, the method of the Pharisees, who made void the commandments of God by the traditions of men, is perpetuated.
