We need a more certain sound about the inspiration, sufficiency, and supremacy of Holy Scripture. There is a growing inclination to depreciate the blessed volume as a respectable old book, containing a great deal of truth, but truth mixed up with error and fables.
There is a hasty readiness to assume that whenever the conclusions of so-called science conflict with the Bible that the Bible must be wrong and science right, it being coolly forgotten that perhaps we do not rightly interpret the Book.
Away with all this! Let us boldly place the Bible on the pedestal where our forefathers placed it, and maintain, like them, that, however imperfectly we may understand it, the old Book is perfect, and is an infallible rule of faith and practice!

1 Corinthians 14:8 ... For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
2 Timothy 3:16-17 ... All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Jeremiah 6:16 ... Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.❤
