THESE are the days when seekers of Truth are requiring more than fine-sounding statements to satisfy them. They are asking now, more than ever before of those who are posing as teachers and knowers of Truth, to prove what they say, or at least to give some convincing evidence that they know whereof they speak.

Like the Law that ever works in conjunction with Truth is requiring those claiming to know and teach Truth to prove that they know it, by living and using it in the daily problems now confronting them.

As a result many of such are struggling with some very grave problems these days, especially those teaching the law of supply, of health, and of harmony in the home. They know that their students expect them to demonstrate these things in their own lives; for these are problems facing almost everyone, and convincing teaching that has the ring of authority is needed and must be given to help and satisfy seeking souls. Those teachers who are not demonstrating these things know that their students naturally doubt anything said by them on these subjects, no matter how true.

This means that teachers as well as students have now to make themselves do the things they feel are true and which will bring supply, health and harmony. The time for mere intellectual knowing about such things is past—that kind of knowing is of no avail when up against real lack of any one of them, as many have learned to their deep regret; and more than a few have failed to master that lack and have become panic-stricken, causing them to despair from public sight.

Of course, it all traces back to their not having made themselves live and thus prove what they “know,” and back of that to their lack of real understanding of God within them being their supply, their life and the source of all that they are and have.

Yes, they know this intellectually, but not really, or they would call upon Him in their need and would find Him an unfailing supply.
