“In every city, on every street, by every door of opportunity, these two voices of wisdom and folly are appealing to men,” states G. Campbell Morgan. “To obey the call of wisdom is to live; to yield to the clamor of folly is to die. How shall we discern between the voices? By making fear of the Lord the central inspiration of the life; by yielding the being at its deepest to Him for correction and guidance.”
