To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nor is it that the gift from without is God's, and the response from within simplj^ our own act. No! Within us and without it is the Spirit's action. From without He comes to us with gifts of grace in all the organized system of His Church: within us He works to quicken our coldness, and to overcome our wilfulness, till we exhibit the free and eager response of a converted' heart to the offer of God. And all the external supply of grace, and all the inner response of faith, 54 THE MISSION OP TH...E CHUKCH is but a means to that which is the only end of all religion — the renewal of the soul, of the whole man into the image of Him who created it. Brethren, need we be for cYer in reactions ? Let us who believe profoundly in the sacraments see to it that we never let them, so far as lies in us, be spoken of, or treated, or used as charms. Let us give no countenance, for instance, to any use of baptism such as would allow children, who are not in immediate danger of death, to be baptized when there is no fair prospect of their being brought up to understand the meaning of their Cliristian vocation — a practice, I believe, utterly contrary to fundamental Christian principles.
