I do not mean to affirm that the description which I have given of the soul and her missions is exactly true-a man of sense ought hardly say that.

If we truly think of Christ as our source of holiness, we shall refrain from anything wicked or impure in thought or act and thus show ourselves to be worthy bearers of his name. For the quality of holiness is shown not by what we say but by what we do in life.
