ABSTRACT
The object of the reproof is the advance and subsequent retreat; it is the wavering, shilly-shallying character of the man’s doing that makes it questionable. The opposite of ‘patchwork’ is work ‘all of a piece’. Now how does one achieve work ‘all of a piece?’ Only with a united soul. As things are in this world, one man—‘by nature’ or ‘by grace’, however one chooses to put it—has a unitary soul, a soul all of a piece. Another man has a divided, complicated, contradictory soul, and this, naturally, affects his doings. Teaching can unify a man's soul. What is meant by unification of the soul would be thoroughly misunderstood if ‘soul’ were taken to mean anything but the whole man, body and spirit together. The soul is not really united, unless all bodily energies, all the limbs of the body, are united.
