It means the acceptance of His challenge, self-surrender to His appeal, the combination of an acknowledged desire to serve Him with acknowledged impotence and bankruptcy before GOD. Sooner or later the Spirit convinces men of sin.
"Alas, alas!" she repeated to herself, "everything I hear and see convinces me that his course is one full of danger, if not, also, of crime. But I am acting for the best, and am gaining a power which may serve him at his utmost need. I am doing what is right."
This is certain, it convinces such men in business that the debtor's religion is not very sincere. In a word, brethren, it is far better to live in less pretentious dwellings, dress more soberly and eat more sparingly than to owe any man anything. Pay what thou owest, and then you may walk honestly among all men."
Who," he added, and as he spoke he stood erect on the steps of the altar, his arms outstretched in the eagerness of argument, his grand face all aglow with enthusiasm "who can decide? It is faith that convinces faith that vivifies faith that transforms faith that links us to the hierarchy of angels! To believe to act on our belief, even if that belief be false that is true religion.
The old solicitor glanced at Viner, who, while these private matters were being inquired into, was affecting to examine the pictures on the walls. "Most extraordinary!" he muttered. "All this convinces me that Ashton must have had papers and documents! These must have been however, we don't know where they are. But there would surely be, for instance, your father's will, Miss Wickham.
"I don't think anything was said of you at all." "Yes, there was. You can't fool me. Somebody warned that girl against me. The whole thing seems funny to me." It just convinces me that if we're going to carry on this work together we've got to have a definite understanding. You've got to stop going to such houses and giving séances without my permission. I won't have that under any conditions."
'Is Miss Marstone still in his favour? 'I can still less understand her view, said Lady Elizabeth, with a grave, sad simplicity, almost like satire; 'she says it only convinces her that the Church of England does not know how to treat penitents. Theodora could not help laughing, and Lady Elizabeth nearly joined her, though sighing and saying that such talk gave her other fears for Emma.
It is remarkable that the observation which most of all shocks thieves, and convinces them at once both of the certainty and justice of a Providence is this, that the money which they amass by such unrighteous dealings never thrives with them; that though they thieve continually, they are, notwithstanding that, always in want, pressed on every side with fears and dangers, and never at liberty from the uneasy apprehensions of having incurred the displeasure of God, as well as run themselves into the punishments inflicted by the law.
In the last resort man has no other guide than his reason. It is his own reason that convinces him of the limitations of his reason. But those limitations are not to be overpassed by a visionary self-introspection, unless this, too, is subjected to rational criticism. Mysticism does its true part when it applies this criticism also to the current forms, conventions, and institutions.
"By this arrangement," continued he, "I trust I shall ultimately serve my good friends the Walsinghams, as I wish: for though I have not seen as much of that family as I should have been glad to have done, yet the little I have seen convinces me that they are worthy people." "The most worthy people upon earth. You know I have the greatest regard for them," said Mrs. Beaumont.
