Say not that you are not renewed in the spirit of your mind, because you do not feel the change perfect. Since man, in his fallen state, is but a ruin, and what has been thrown down must be repaired, be not surprised if it is not a perfect work at once. The change can be and must be complete, though it be not perfect. You must be renewed in the whole man, though the whole man still go halting, by reason of the fall. The babe does not learn to go alone in a day or a year, yet every day approximates to that period of its advancing strength. Only ascertain that it possesses real life and health, and be assured that it will advance till it attain maturity.
