ARGUMENT FRAILTY Sunset in the desert. Enfeebled by prolonged fasting, the herll1it finds himself unable to concentra te his mind upon holy things. His thoughts wonder; memories of youth evoke regrets that his relaxed will can no longer find strength to suppress,-and, .,.. rem~ mbrance begetting renlelllbrance, his fancy leads him upon dangerous ground. He dreanlS of his flight from hOlne,-of Ammonaria, his sister'~ plaYlnate,-of bis misery in the waste,-his visit to Alexandria with the blind monk DidYlllus,-tbe unholy sights of the luxurious city. Involuntarily he yields to tbe nervous dissatisfaction growing upon him. He laments his solitude, his joylessness, llis poverty, the obscurity of his life; grace departs from hhn ; hope burns low within his heart. Suddenly revolting against his weakness, he seeks refuge from distraction in the study of the Scriptures.
