"For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free"
(Rom. viii. 2).

There is a natural law of sin and sickness, and if we just let ourselves
go and sink into the trend of circumstances we shall go down and sink
under the power of the tempter. But there is another law of spiritual life

spiritual organism. As we yield ourselves to Him He will breathe His own
prayer of communion, drawing out our hearts in longings and hungerings,
which are the pledge of their own fulfilment, calling us apart in silent
and wordless prayer and opening every pore, organ, sense and sensibility
of our spiritual being to take in His life. As the lungs absorb the oxygen
of the atmosphere, as the senses breathe in the sweet odors of the garden,
so the heart instinctively receives and rejoices in the affection and
fellowship of the beloved One by our side. Thus we be
