Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on Practical Subjects, Delivered at St. Margaret's, Lothbury
There cannot be two things which are both greatest of their kind. But whilst the love Of God is the master-prin ciple, what had formerly been the master-principle remains within, in a subdued, though not in a dominant, state and the great warfare of the Christian's life will result from the efforts of this principle to regain the lost ascendancy. If the voluptuous man be converted, his hardest after-task will lie in resisting the lusts of the ?esh whilst the proud man, or the envious, will find his main battle must be waged with pride or with envy. The weak point before conver sion will be the weak point after. And the devil, who once had undisputed possession of the man, and who knows therefore the quarter in which he is most assailable, will direct his temptations against the vulnerable point, and seek to make a breach where there had beforetime been the broadest highway.
