Let the brickwork of ignorance be thrown down, and let not spiritual sunshine be shut out from the self-deceived heart. Pride, Self-love, cowardly Mistrust of God’s wisdom and goodness, are natural to our fallen nature; but the entrance of His Word into the heart is as that of the glorious beams of the day, –joy, brightness, and holiness follow the admission into its deepest recesses of the pure, life-giving light of Heaven! . A.L.O.E.
