Earnestness is good and impressive: genius is gifted and great. Thought kindles and inspires, but it takes a more divine endowment, and more powerful energy than earnestness or genius or thought to break the chains of sin, to win estranged and depraved hearts to God, to repair the breaches and restore the Church to her old ways of purity and power. Nothing but the anointing of the Holy Spirit can do this.
