and
out
of
which
it
can
never
find
true
repose.
This
instinct
is
very
deeply
implanted
in
the
soul,
more
or
less
in
different
cases,
according
to
the
designs
of
God
;
but
all
have
a
loving
impatience
to
purify
themselves,
and
to
adopt
the
necessary
ways
and
means
of
returning
to
their
source
and
origin,
like
rivers,
which,
after
leaving
their
source,
flow
on
continuously,
in
order
to
precipitate
them-selves
into
the
sea.
You
will
observe
that
some
rivers
move
gravely
and
slowly,
and
others
with
greater
velocity
;
but
there
are
rivers
and
torrents
which
rush
with
frightful
impetuosity,
and
which
nothing
can
arrest
All
the
burdens
which
might
be
laid
upon
them,
and
the
obstructions
which
might
be
placed
to
impede
their
course,
would
only
serve
to
redouble
their
violence.
It
is
thus
with
souls.
Some
go
on
quietly
towards
perfection,
and
never
reach
the
sea,
or
only
very
late,
contented
to
lose
themselves
in
some
stronger
and
more
rapid
river,
which
carries
them
with
itself
into
the
sea.
Others,
which
form
the
second
class,
flow
on
more
vigor-ously
and
promptly
than
the
first.
They
even
carry
with
them
a
number
of
rivulets
j
but
they
are
slow
