The weeds are not painfully plucked up by the cautious hand of tillage reckoning on its fruits, but burnt out by the blaze of a divine shame and love. It is quite true that such a change cannot be expected, — that to calculate on it is inexpressibly perilous ; for the deeper movements of the soul shrink back from our computations, refuse to be made the tools of our prudence, and insist on coming imobserved or coming never ; and he that reckons on them sends them into banishment, and only shows ...that they are and must be strangers to his barren heart. It WITHIN US. 135 is quite true that self-cure is of all things the most arduous ; but that which is impossible to the man within us, may be altogether possible to the God' In truth, the denial of such changes, under the affectation of great knowledge of man, shows an incredible ignorance of men.
