The great secret of vital godliness'

The great secret of vital godliness is to 
be nothing—that Christ may be all in all. 

Every stripping, sifting, and emptying—every trial, 
exercise and temptation that the soul passes through, 
has but one object—to beat out of man's heart that 
cursed spirit of independence which the devil breathed 
into him when he said, "You shall be as gods". 

A man must well near be bled to death before 
this venom can be drained out of his veins!
