A Reformation is not arbitrarily made,
as charters and revolutions are in some countries. A real reformation prepared
during many ages, is the work of the Spirit of God. Before the appointed hour,
the greatest geniuses and even the most faithful of God's servants cannot
produce it; but when the reforming time is come, when it is God's pleasure to
renovate the affairs of the world, the divine life must clear a passage, and it
is able to create of itself the humble instruments by which this life is communicated
to the human race. Then, if men are silent, the very stones will cry out.
