The union of motion and inspiration, which infidels have endeavored to set in opposition to each other, is found in every page of the word; moreover the two things are only incompatible to the narrow mind of those who are unacquainted with the ways of God. Cannot God impart motives, and through these motives engage a man to undertake some task, and then direct him, perfectly and absolutely, in all that he does? Even if it were a human thought (which I do not at all believe), if God approved of it, could not He watch over its execution, so that the result should be entirely according to His will? J. N. D.
