Is to saro tho people. He says that
they may surround themselves with all
kinds Of hostll.Ics and rnuy make themselves
utterly rcpulslvc to tho divine natuto; uo Is

may pile around them all possible obstacles, l1c
will climb over them. It quito cssy to climb
fence; but II MI around nbout tho fence thorc
bo hedges Of thosns a,,l brcrs, then 1t is not SO
easy to climb 1t. But God snys: Though I
