The man of God who would be "thoroughly furnished unto every good work," must be a man of study as well as of prayer. He must, as St. Paul directs Timothy, "give attendance to reading" as well as " exhortation," that he may " show himself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly...
