Our works follow us. We must not expect to transgress one law of the moral or physical world and escape the recoil on our souls. Any abuse, any excesses, any inclination to degrade drags the soul down. There can be no effectual repentance except through suffering, worked out by slow degrees and even then the scar is left! Life is ever-existent and the two properties – good and evil – are capable of growth but the growth of one is at the expense of the other. Unbridled passions, impure lives are the outgrowth of old conditions but, because tolerated, they cause their victims long hours of darkness and despair.
