THE SURE GUIDE.

Turn to the sixteenth chapter of John, in the thirteenth verse, and
read: "Howbeit, when He, the Spirit of Truth is come, He will guide
you into all truth; for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever
He shall hear that shall He speak; and He will show you things to
come." He will guide you into all truth. Now there is not a truth that
we ought to know but the Spirit of God will guide us into it if we
will let Him; if we will yield ourselves up to be directed by the
Spirit, and let Him lead us, He will guide us into all truth. It would
have saved us from a great many dark hours if we had only been willing
to let the Spirit of God be our counsellor and guide.

Lot never would have gone to Sodom if he had been guided by the Spirit
of God. David never would have fallen into sin and had all that
trouble with his family if he had been guided by the Spirit of God.

There are many Lots and Davids now-a-day. The churches are full of
them. Men and women are in total darkness, because they have not been
willing to be guided by the Spirit of God. "He shall guide you into
all truth. He shall not speak of Himself." He shall speak of the
ascended glorified Christ.

What would be thought of a messenger, entrusted by an absent husband
with a message for his wife or mother who, on arrival, only talked of
himself, and his conceits, and ignored both the husband and the
message? You would simply call it outrageous. What then must be the
crime of the professed teacher who speaks of himself, or some insipid
theory, leaving out Christ and His Gospel? If we witness according to
the Spirit, we must witness of Jesus.

The Holy Spirit is down here in this dark world to just speak of the
Absent One, and He takes the things of Christ and brings them to our
mind. He testifies of Christ; He guides us into the truth about Him.

RAPPINGS IN THE DARK.

I want to say right here, that I think in this day a great many
children of God are turning aside and committing a grievous sin. I
don't know as they think it is a sin, but if we examine the
Scriptures, I am sure we will find that it is a great sin. We are told
that the Comforter is sent into the world to "guide us into all
truth," and if He is sent for that purpose, do we need any other
guide? Need we hide in the darkness, consulting with mediums, who
profess to call up the spirits of the dead? Do you know what the Word
of God pronounces against th
