The inevitable friction of business life

not explain it. The fact gives US a divine

GRIEyING THE HOLY SPIRIT.
All men are under moral obligations to
turn to God and away from sin, even if no
divine aid was granted them by the holy
spirit. But such is our depravity, such
our dominating love of sin, no one will sub
NIT to God in contrition and loyalty to him
unless he is pressed to do so by the spirit.
Never does he coerce the will of any one,
but he SO presents motives and impresses
the conscience that all who are regenerated
are compelled to confess that they never
would have become Christians had it not
been for this mysterious but efficient agent.
But there is limit to the operations of the
spirit upon any human heart. God has
plainly said: my spirit shall not always
strive with man. '-Reli0ious Herald
