An exhibition, however, like the first one in sparring on Saturday, which was devoid of every appearance of the slightest scientific excellence, cannot help but have an effect opposed to the purposes for which the meetings are held.

If we expect to receive help for our Christian life we must be on this road as Paul was. If we cannot see to find our own way into the way, we must trust to those who can see to lead us there, as he did.
