When the coinage of a country has worn thin and light, so that no one can see the image or read the superscription which once it bore, it is called in, reminted, and sent forth anew, with a clearly distinct and finely relieved impression from the original die. And so, when our Christian characters are rubbed down by the abrasion of the world to such an extent that the image of the Lord in us has been well nigh effaced, there is all the more need for us to submit ourselves to the reminting of the Holy Spirit, that we may come forth anew and bear unmistakable witness to Christ's royalty over us and property in us.
