 in with a breath of His resurrection power; for the Cross and the empty tomb cannot be long divided. The law of the Spirit of Life can work now, as you deliberately loose hold of all clinging to sin; the expulsive power of His working within, and the play of His winds around, will make you "free indeed," like these young shoots when last year's leaves have fallen. * * * * * * * * This brings us to the positive side; for when the sentence of death on the old nature is realised, the new nature can be manifested. Separation from all known sin is the starting-point for santification, not the goal: it is only the negative side of holiness; it is only reaching the place where God can develop His ideal in us unhindered. It is when the death of winter has done its work that the sun can draw out in each plant its own individuality, and make its existence full and fragrant. Holiness means something more than the sweeping away of the old leaves of sin: it means the life of Jesus developed in us. EVEAL IT FROM HIS SIDE GOD WILL COME IN WITH A BREATH OF HIS RESURRECTION POWER FOR THE CROSS AND THE EMPTY TOMB CANNOT BE LONG DIVIDED THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE CAN WORK NOW AS YOU DELIBERATELY LOOSE HOLD OF ALL CLINGING TO SIN THE EXPULSIVE POWER OF HIS WORKING WITHIN AND THE PLAY OF HIS WINDS AROUND WILL MAKE YOU FREE INDEED LIKE THOSE YOUNG SHOOTS WHEN LAST YEAR'S LEAVES HAVE FALLEN THIS BRINGS US TO THE POSITIVE SIDE FOR WHEN THE SENTENCE OF DEATH ON THE OLD NATURE IS REALIZED THE NEW NATURE CAN BE MANIFESTED SEPARATION FROM ALL KNOWN SIN IS THE STARTING POINT FOR SANCTIFICATION NOT THE GOAL IT IS ONLY THE NEGATIVE SIDE OF HOLINESS IT IS ONLY REACHING THE PLACE WHERE GOD CAN DEVELOP HIS IDEAL IN US UNHINDERED IT IS WHEN THE DEATH OF WINTER HAS DONE ITS WORK THAT THE SUN CAN DRAW OUT IN EACH PLANT ITS OWN INDIVIDUALITY AND MAKE ITS EXISTENCE FULL AND FRAGRANT HOLINESS MEANS SOMETHING MORE THAN THE SWEEPING AWAY OF THE OLD LEAVES OF SIN IT MEANS THE LIFE OF JESUS DEVELOPED IN US
