two truths urged by the Eev. C. L. Eugstrom and Mr. Enmore Jones. The 
first shows that the will is directive. Therefore, willingly yielding to the gentle 
pressure of the good spirit, a man may himself fix his direction towards good. 
But this mere direction has no dynamical force, it is only something which 
can point. Behind this directing element, then, a power in the nature of an 
energy, or a duvayig^ may come, which can fill out the directing will with a 
heavenly power, and bear it onward, in the direction it has chosen, towards 
the embodied motive which it has selected to rule. This has seemed to me 
for some years the philosophical reconciliation of the two counter-truths of 
man’s freedom and responsibility (growing, as Prebendary Bow remarks, out 
of the very centre of the moral character of God), and of man’s need of 
divine grace, laying the axe at the root of all human pride, and bidding each 
one of us remember that we are only empty vessels, which, to be of any use, 
the divine fulness must fill. I think this welds into a coherent logical unity 
the substance of what has been said.
