And here the question comes, what is to be the end of this ? It is clear that every thing the man does, but aggravates his despair. He is sinking deeper and deeper every day, into an abyss of des- pondency. His prospects become blacker with every attempt he makes to relieve himself — fighting as it were against a barrier through which he cannot make his way, while the penalties of an unful- filled law rise like a wall of fire in threatening array against him. It is perfectly clear that with but... the one lesson of repentance, there is no getting on. Repentance is a return to that law from which we had departed. But when the law wont recall its own threats of ven- geance — it wont cancel its own long and fearful account against us — it wont look on and be silent, while we are taking on new debts ; and by new delinquencies of thought word and deed, come day after day under a heavier reckoning and re- sponsibility than before. The law is not of that supple pliant accommodating character, not ot such a flexible and yielding disposition, so full of complai- sance and facility and good-natured con- nivance — that, for the sake of our con- venience, it will let down its own exac- tions j or become a precarious, nay a polluted thing, by lowering and suiting its precepts to our powers and possibili- ties of obedience.
