SOUL— Needing Something to Cling to - Charles Spurgeon

The soul ,socking to something over which it can spread itself, and by means of which it can support itself. And just as in a neglected garden you may see the poor creepers makir.g shift to sustain them- selves as best they can ; one convolvulus twisting round another, and both draggling on the ground ; a clematis leaning on the door, which will by-and-by open and let the whole mass fall down ; a vine or a passion-flower wreathing round a prop which all the while chafes and cuts it ; so in this fallen world it is mournful to see the efforts which human souls are making to get some sufficient object to lean upon and twine around.— James Hamilton.
