Our way is up the river; we have to stem the current and struggle against a flood which would readily bear us to destruction. Companions for apostles are only to be produced in the school of Holy Scripture. Those who have communed with Moses and David and the prophets are fit to associate with an apostle. There dwells upon this earth a mysterious Being, whose office is to renew the fallen and restore the wandering. We cannot see Him, or hear Him, yet He dwells in some of us as Lord of our nature.
