Such an act very soon cleanses one of all one's sins, and one regains in consequence the esteem of the world. The gods and Asuras, in days of yore, approaching the celestial preceptor Vrihaspati, O king, humbly enquired of him, saying, "Thou knowest, O great Rishi, the fruits of virtue, as also the fruits of those other acts that lead to hell in the next world.
A piece of flannel is, for the first part of the washing very useful that is to say, to use with the soap, and to loosen the dirt and the perspiration; but for the finishing-up process, a sponge a large sponge is superior to flannel, to wash all away, and to complete the bathing.

On washin' days the woman of the house throws the dirty clothes and a piece of soap into a tub, and electricity heats the water, rubs and cleanses the clothes, shoves 'em along and rings 'em through an electric ringer, and dries 'em in a electric dryin' oven, and then irons 'em by an electric ironin' machine.

And, though it was not meant for anything but the silent voice of pity and love, we do not rob it of its beautiful spontaneity when we see, in the touch of that pure hand on the rotting feculence of leprosy, a parable of the Incarnation, in which He lays hold on our flesh of sin and is yet without sin contracts no defilement by contact, but by touching cleanses the foulness on which He lays His white fingers.
It also cools and cleanses the whole body, renders it brisk and lively, and is very efficacious in quenching thirst. No other sort of milkmeat or spoonmeat is so proper and beneficial for consumptive persons, or such as labour under great weakness and debility. It should be eaten with bread only, and it will be light and easy on the stomach, even when new milk is found to disagree.
The object of faith is Christ, the Christ whose blood and righteousness cleanses and clothes sinful souls. II. Let me ask you to look, in the next place, to what this text suggests to us about the worth of Christian faith. Peter calls it precious. Consider its worth as a channel.
The Divine Spirit possesses and purifies our thoughts, cleanses and clarifies our motives, freshens and fertilises our soul, sanctifies and sensitises our conscience, guides and guards our will; and thus "every virtue we possess, and every victory won, and every thought of holiness" are the work of the Holy Spirit of God in guiding and directing our hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.
