WHATEVER leads away from God is contrary to the Will of God. Whatever attracts towards God is in accordance with the Divine Will. “For this is the Will of God, your sanctification.” [I Thess. IV. 3]

Therefore, if anyone detect any such thing in himself as to be

constrained to confess that this business, this society, this trade,

this way of living, does not make me more holy, but I am being led

away from God, though gradually and by easy steps, it follows that

neither that business, nor that society, nor that trade, nor that way

of living, is according to the Divine Will.
