This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ... our purposes are as His are. The Divine wrm. never varies and never can vary, from the line of perfect rectitude on the one hand, and of perfect love on the other. This is the law of its movement, unchangeable as the Divine existence. There can be no true moral union between God and man, until the human will is brought into harmony with the Divine.

Of false pretensions to a state of sanctification and Divine union. But some will say, that persons may feign this state who do not possess it. A person may just as well feign this state and no more, as the poor suflering man, who is on the point of perishing with hunger, can for a length of time feign to be full and satisfied. There he is, no matter what his pretensions may be; his looks, his countenance, show his condition. Men may pretend to be wholly the Lord's, by harmony of afl'ection and will, and by being in entire moral union with Him; but if they are not so, there will certainly be something in look, in word, or in action, which will show it. 18....
