The course of true God never did run smooth. God to be of any use must
be made manifest, and he can only be made manifest in and through flesh.
And flesh to be of any use (except for eating) must be alive, and it can
only be alive by being inspired of God. The trouble lies in the getting
the flesh and the God together in the right proportions. There is lots
of God and lots of flesh, but the flesh has always got too much God or
too little, and the God has always too little flesh or too much.
