of
all
duties,
whatever
their
nature
may
be;
and
even
if
they
do
cause
us
inconvenience,
we
shall
yet
find
great
profit
in
doing
this,
not
perhaps
in
the
way
we
imagine,
but
in
hastening
the
cruci-fixion
of
self.
It
even
seems
as
though
our
Lord
shows
that
such
sacrifice
is
pleasing
to
Him
by
the
grace
which
He
sheds
upon
it.
I
knew
a
lady
who,
when
playing
at
cards
with
her
husband
in
order
to
please
him,
experienced
such
deep
and
intimate
communion
with
God
as
she
never
felt
in
prayer,
and
it
was
the
same
with
everything
she
did
at
her
husband's
desire;
but
if
she
neglected
these
things
for
others
which
she
thought
better,
she
was
conscious
that
she
was
not
walking
in
the
will
of
God.
This
did
not
prevent
her
often
com-mitting
faults,
because
the
attractions
of
medita-tion
and
the
happiness
of
devotion,
which
are
preferred
to
these
apparent
losses
of
time,
insen-sibly
draw
the
soul
away,
and
lead
it
to
change
its
course,
and
this
by
most
people
is
looked
upon
as
sanctity.
However,
those
who
are
to
be
taught
the
way
of
faith
are
not
suffered
long
to
remain
in
these
errors,
because,
as
God
designs
to
lead
