Read the Introduction by Rev. Robert Maguire, D. D.

Mr. Man's-Invention

"Mr. MAN’S-INVENTION.—The inventive capacity of man was once for the promotion of being engaged in the service of God. But this principle also became a coward, and was taken prisoner. “God made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions,” Ecclesiastes 7:29. It is man’s invention that has brought forth false doctrine, false worship, and errors in faith and practice."[2]
