The second of these spiritual standards which apply to the possessor of
knowledge is that he should be the defender of his faith. It is obvious that
these holy words do not refer exclusively to searching out the implications of
the Law, observing the forms of worship, avoiding greater and lesser sins,
practicing the religious ordinances, and by all these methods, protecting the
Faith. They mean rather that the whole population should be protected in every
way; that every effort should be exerted to adopt a combination of all possible
measures to raise up the Word of God, increase the number of believers, promote
the Faith of God and exalt it and make it victorious over other religions.
