August 20th. When one attempts to sanctify himself by effort, he is
trying to make his boat go by pushing against the mast. He is like a
drowning man trying to lift himself out of the water by pulling at the
hair of his own head. Christ held up this method almost to ridicule when

those who try it find out almost at once that it will not gain the goal.
The Changed Life, p. 11.

August 22d. Our companionship with Him, like all true companionship, is a
