When the soul of man is full of faith it is in a changed condition. The
man is the same, but his state is not the same, and he in the new state
develops new powers and new capacities. To be full of faith is to be
full also of power of a new kind. For faith is spiritual dynamite.
Cold iron is precisely identical with iron heated in the fire;
but tho the metal is the same, the fire that has entered it
entirely transforms its condition and endows it with a new
potency. And the fire also by entering the iron takes upon
itself new action, making of the metal a vehicle of its dynamic
potency. So does the Spirit of God transfuse and transform and
vivify and fortify human nature. (Text.)
