<p>'''I am quite sick of modern religion'''—it is such <br />
          a mixture, such a medley, such a compromise. <br />
          I find much, indeed, of this religion in my own <br />
          heart, for it suits the flesh well—but I would <br />
          not have it so, and grieve it should be so.<br />
          <strong><br />
            The religion which I want</strong> is that of the Holy Spirit. <br />
          <br />
          I <strong>know </strong>nothing but what He teaches me.<br />
          <br />
          I <strong>feel </strong>nothing but what He works in me. <br />
          <br />
          I <strong>believe </strong>nothing but what He shows me. <br />
          <br />
          I only <strong>mourn </strong>when He smites my rocky heart. <br />
          <br />
          I only <strong>rejoice </strong>when He reveals the Saviour.<br />
          <br />
          This religion I am seeking after, though miles and <br />
          miles from it—but no other will satisfy or content me. <br />
          <br />
          When the blessed Spirit is not at work in me, <br />
          and with me, I fall back into all the . . .<br />
          darkness,<br />
          unbelief, <br />
          earthliness,<br />
          idleness,<br />
          carelessness,<br />
          infidelity, and <br />
          helplessness <br />
          of my Adam nature.<br />
          <br />
          True religion is a supernatural and mysterious thing.
