If the theory is not correct, the practice cannot be right
But is the necessary foundation of duty;
Then me what a man believes then
I will tell you what he will do.
Say what men may, it is doctrine that moves the world.
He who takes no position will not sway the human intellect
The question is not whether a doctrine is beautiful
But whether it is true-
When we wish to go to a place, we do not ask,
Whether the road leads through a pretty county,
But whether it is the right road
Doctrine is the frame work of life- the skeleton of truth
To be clothed and rounded by the living grace of a holy life
The doctrine that rectifies the conscience, purifies the heart,
And produces love to God and man, is necessarily true,
Whether men can comprehend all its depths and reasons or not
Pure doctrine always bears fruit in pure benefit.
