"That is the way I feel," said Mary.

"Suppose that we ask each church to give us a summary of its beliefs,
and we shall then compare each one with the Bible," suggested Robert.

"Why, let's do that," replied Mary. "I do want the truth."

"So do I," Robert said fervently.

That night in prayer, special request was made to God for guidance
into truth. "Oh, we must have Thy truth, O God," they cried, "we will
follow it at any cost, if Thou wilt only make it clear. Help us in
studying Thy Word. Make it plain to our minds. O Lord, guide us into
Thy way."

The next Sunday they began their investigation by asking the minister
of the church that they visited for a brief outline of its doctrinal
belief. They then bought a concordance and the search for truth was
begun, which was to lead them into paths that they little dreamed of
then, and into experiences that they could not at that time foresee.
