To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. As by taking thought one cannot add to his stature, which he buildeth not, so can he by no conscious effort contribute directly to his spiritual growth; the increase must come from God. "i It is true that this makes life seem difficult, but we are nowhere promised that it shall be easy. On the contrary, it is clearly taught in the Bible that the most prominent elements of the Christian's experience are " fighting, work- ing, and watching. " There is no intimation that we are to have in this s...evere school anything of the nature of a vacation, or even a brief recess. Rest, indeed, is abun- dantly promised, but it must be obtained in the school and not out of it. Our Divine Instructor says, '' Come unto Die, and / will give you rest, " and there is no promise of gaining it from any other source. The disposition of human nature to settle down for a comfortable time in this world — to turn the school-house into a play-room — is so strong as to be almost irresistible. But all that is accomplished by other methods would be nullified and the end sought would be entirely frustrated if we were permitted to realize our spiritual progress.
