a good angel, stepping on him, leaves an imprint that 

 is not easily washed out ; and a bad angel, leaving a

 nature has re-acted against the impression thus made, 

 and that a sense of justice has wiped out, as with a 

 sweeping billow, the track of his hoof, and left the 

 shore clean as God made it? You would judge, in 

 that case, that the shape of the shore had been deter- 

 mined by some other power than the impact either 

 of good feet or of split hoofs. There is a plan in the 

 sands. They are not sands ; they are a soul. [Ap- 

 plause.]
