I. This is a reformation effected in the CENTRE OF EXISTENCE. This was not a reformation on parchment, but a reformation of the springs of activity. If the heart is changed all the emotions, purposes, and activities of life will be changed.

II. This is a reformation that ORIGINATED IN DIVINE AGENCY. "The Lord opened."

III. This is a reformation that brought the SOUL INTO THE HIGHEST DISCIPLESHIP. "She attended unto the things that were spoken of Paul." She became a pupil in the school of Christ.

(Homilist.)
