God. Suppose this desire not to be alive, not in motion either in a Jew or a Christian, and then all the sacrifices, the services, either of the Law or the Gospel, are but dead works, that bring no life into the soul, nor beget any union between God and it. Suppose this desire to be awakened, and fixed upon God, though in souls that never heard either of the Law or the Gospel, and then the Divine life, or operation of God, enters inte them, and the new birth in Christ is formed in those that never heard of his name. And these are they, 'that shall come from the east and from the west, and sit down with Abraham and Isaac in the kingdom of God.'' (Part i, Chap. ii.) I have spoken of the vital influence which the Serious Call and other early writings of Law exercised on the great religious movement of the eighteenth century. May it not be that the teaching of his later and more mystical works, as illustrated by the passage just quoted from The Spirit of Prayer, foreshadows the kind of religion which men are looking for now-a religion of broad horizons, drawing together in the unity of the spirit, all in every land who love God and mankind?
