NOTE: "The lleart must be renewed by divine grace.
or it will be III vam to seek for PUrity of life. He who
attempts to bUlld up a noble, VIrtuous character indepen-

touch of faith. To believe in ChrIst merely as the Saviour
of the world can never bring healing to the soul. The
faith that is unto salvation is not a mere assent to the
truth of the gospel. True faith is that which reeeiyes
Christ as a personal SavlOur."-M.H., p. 62.
