"\Va nted - Large Factory with
Power. Apply at once and give loca-
tion.'' This newspaper caption is often
seen when large firms or corporations
want to enlarge their factory so as to
increase their business. It is the cry
of the world. Power is needed every-
where. The steamship lines want power,
and appears 'lhe great ''whale-
backs'' to ply up and down the l akes,
and carry the commerce of a nation.
The railroads want power, and soon
that magnificent . Engine '' 590'' comes
out of the shops to haul the miles of
freight cars from ocean to ocean. The
printing offices want power, and
''Hoe's Perfection Press'' is installed.
The astronomers want bigger telescopes.
'fhe government want s .larger sear ch-
lights. The navy must have more
powerful battleships. Even the elect ric
lines want cars with heavier motors,
and dynamos with greater capacity.

of the power needed.

EFFECTS OF LOVE.
ALPIN M. BOWES,
Love is the essence of Christianity.
'rhe Bible plainly declares that it is the
indicative evidence of conversion. "He
that lovetl1 not knoweth not God. " 1
Jno. 4:8. "By this shall all men know
that we are my disciples, if ye have
love one to another . " Jno. 13 :35. But.
who are we to love? Only those who __
l ove us ? No, "For if ye love them
which love you, what reward have ye?
do not even the publicans the same?''
Matt. 5,:46. "But I say unto you love
your enemies, bless .. them that curse
you, do good to them that hate you,
and pray for them despitefully
use you, and persecute you. '' Matt.
18

5 .. :44. Alas, but the human heart is cer-
tai.n to hate its enem1es, and to prey on
them. which despitefully us e yon a nd
persecute .you. Yes, but that same h eart
will when :filled with . Div.ine Love be-
come a loving, lovable exriinple of l ove.
The inference is unmistakable, that if
there. is any_.hate in the iieart. _yon are
in darkness. "He that hateth his
brother is in walketh in
darkness, and knoweth not whither he
because that dnikness hat h
blinded his 1 .J no. 2:11 .
'fhe love of God dispels a ll darkn ..
and r e moves every stumbling hlodc
"He that foveth his .brother abidcth in
t he_ light, and t heie is none o.ecasion of
stumbling in him." 1 Jno. 2:10. This
r eveals the secret cause of the gross
darkness and spiritual
of those who stumble over oth er s, to be
a lack of love within their own bosom.
Is your .soul darkened by hatred ? Then
love will cause you to see the value of
that never dying soul, and long to see
it reached by quickening grace. Do
the faults of others awaken f eelings of
criticism within you 1 Then love will
enable you to overlook t heir faults.
Do the inconsisten cies of others make
you dislike them? Then love will eausc
you to pity them. Do car es in ' life ag-
gravate and .annoy you ? Then l ove
will make the life sweet in t he Jnnst
unfavorable circumstances. Do yon
have no compassion a nd coneern fo1 the
'fhen l ove will melt your col<l.cl is-
pos ition until you will deli ght in the
salvation of the
Certainly love will receive some
abuses. How could a more love a hie
character than ..Joseph be imagined?
-Yet he was hated and :ahu'sed most un-
mer cifully by; his own hrothGrs. Enu
the inost beloved dis1:iple, John, was
cursed by bitter enemies. So you must
not expect that the sweetening of :vout
: life and disposition by divine love "ill
make all -mm Y<?lll' fri ends. However
any persecution that may come wi ll he
falsely for Christ's sake.
And then love must he cherished , for
it may easily be lost. John's sad mes-
sage to the church at Ephesus was,
" Thou hast l eft they first love. " Only
by careful and continued faithfulness
and obedience can love be r etained.

SPANISH EL PASO, TEX.
'riH' work is progressing finely with
afternoon allll night services daily.
Yesterday ,\e had an all-llny meeting
wit h a -number and sanctified and
gr eat liberty of the spirit in prayer,
praise and pi;Pnchiug. Two t>rt>achers
were sanctified aml a Baptist man
prayed like .Jaeoh. ''I will not let Thee
4
go .. except Thou bless men . . Now, sane-.
tify me now. I want to tell. 1TIY people.:
Oh Mexico, beloved Mexico. Sanctify
me now . Father, that I may tell my
people."' He had believed th'at we get
all in conversion. Santos' son also, and
three others, were...sanctified. Another
yotlng man ' on Wednesday night was
awakened in the night and the Spirit
witnessed to his sanctification. Men'
have been saved in their scats during
service and come forward to stand and
give testimony with those who had
been saved at the altar. God has mar-
velously manifested Himself to this
people in these days. A young man a
long way from the mission saw in his.
dream an open Bible so different than
any he had ever seen; Sunday morning
he was passing the mission, stopped to
h.!3ar . the hymns that penetrated his
heart, and entered with two others.
They were all converted. he said
"he found the open Bible he had seen."
So many of them have said, "Oh. what
a change in these six clays; we do not
seem to be the same. One said, '' l\fy
vision is so fixed on Jesus that I don't
see things that I used to see.''. Santos'
son is a preacher-as is Santos-with
natural ability and power, and undet:
the Spirit's power moves and holds. his
audience. He wants to go to Los An-
geles to study; he ought to be in our
college. vVe need him for our work.
I am praying that it may be arranged.
Oh, to look on these "whitened fields"
and to hear Him say, ''Who will go for
us?" \Ve have heard them say, "vVe
are not to blame that we do not know
'this no one has told us." In
this city alone there are 25,000 of these
lost souls groping in darkness . . They
seem as ignorant of the true light as
if they had never heard of the Bible.
They seem to come from everywhere in
Mexico and to have no fixed destina-
tion or thought except to find work;
many have families and all are very
poor. Our mission is between two
"rancheros," or places that employ
these men and here they congregate by
the hundred-here we can give out
gospels and tracts and testaments and
preach the gospel and have salvation
every day in the year.
El Paso is . a great open gateway to
New Mexico, Arizona and Mexico it-
self. No other point, I believe, is so
important to us as is El Paso for a cen-
ter of operatic;ms in our great work
among this people. Lift your eyes of
faith, brethren, and let us have a
school, a printing press to print holi-
ness literature to be put in the hands
of every Mexican that can read that we
can reach from this point; and teachers
and' workers to -.occupy this place for
God. Santos has worked here for
nearly two years free, except five dol-
lars per month on rent of house where
she gathered the ' 'little flock.'' Now
she. does not have this, as it goes to
rent of mission. She ought to have at
least ten dollars per month. . I believe
God will drop it down from somewbere.
Amen. Santos is a true . Nazarene.

.No.h1ng has J:>een abl e,'to move her.
solne aie coming_to .us from other de-

The writer l eft Goldthwait Friday
night and arrived in Oak Cliff Satur-
day, February 13. We found the rally
already on the go. District Superin-
tendent J. D. Scott and our singing
evangelist, Rev. Nelson, had arrived the
night before and made a good start.
The attendance was light owing to a
sudden and . extreme change of the
weather. The Sunday services were
full of grace and glory and some souls
sought and found pardon and others
cleansed. The pastor, Rev. Ralph
Keisler, has the work of this charge
well in hand, having already installed

Peniel.
. .
Owing to the severe illness of Sister
Scott, our district superintendent re-
turned home from Oak Cliff on Monday
morning, l eaving Brother Nelson and
the writer to go on to PenieL We were
met by General Superintendent Elly-
son's team at Greenville, and were soon
conveyed to his pleasant home at
Peniel.
. We were delighted -to have the .pt:iv-
ilege of meeting Brother C. J. Fowler,
who had just closed a veiy precious
holiness convention under the auspices
of the Texas Holiness Association with
the Texas Hoiiness ' UitiVer$ity. 'rhe
convention was one_ of the best held
there, -the work going very deep; which
is characteristic of .Brother Fovder 's
conventions.
Monday Night Service.
The missionary meet'ing was favored
with a good number of the members of
the Southern Branch of the Gencl'al
Missionary :Board, and two distri ct
superinten'dei1ts, Brother Bud Robinson
and other wQrkers. Revs. Sheeks, onr
treasurer and Rev. J. N. Spcal!:es,
tary, made brief and helpful remarks.
The writer also made a few rcrni11ks
with reference to the relation of the
baptism of the Holy Ghost to home and
foreigi1 missions. vVhen. we gave 1'hc

In response to a call from- Gene1al
Superintendent Ellyson, chairman of
the Southern Division, Revs. Brother
Sheeks, Speakes, DeJernctt, l\IcCon.nell,
Guy, Jernigan, Sister Fisher and the
writer met at Brother El1yson 's home
and carefully considered all the inter-
ests pertaining to our missionary work
in Mexico, Japan, Africa (a work just
turned over to us) and India. This
meeting lasted a clay and a hal when
it was decided to adjourn to Pilot
Point, where most of the above-named
committee met the following day and
finished up the work the best t he_,.

Bonham ..
\Ve joined Evangelist Nelson at Bnn-
hame, some miles east of Pilot
Point, on Thursday, where we were met
by our pastor, Brother Hubbarrl and
his right hand man, Brother Coopel'.
This <;!ity seems quite like some of onr
New Englai)cl towns, as the coun tl'y is
rolling ancl a cotton factory is furnish-
ing work and music for the citizens.
'\Ve had two good services with our
church. They will adopt the envelope
system. Brother Hubbard and wife
have been .on this circuit only a f ew
months but the Lord is blessing thC!m
and giving them. the confidence of the
. people, which is quite necessary if "e
are to do the people good and build np
a strong work. We have a church prop-
. and hope to enlarge it soon.
Texarkana.
We arrived at Taxarkana, February
19, a city of about 12,000 people, with
half of the city in Texas and the other
half in Arkansas. Our church is one
mile west of the state line.
Rev.- '\V. I. Phillips, our pastor, . has
put in more than three years of ha l'd
work in Texarkana circuit and is now
seeing hopeful sig.qs . of a good work in
Texarkana. He and the people- have
got the .exterior of a church building
up and are worshiping in it, but the
r ecent blizzard struck it and it is badly

wrenched out of proper shape,
they. and complete It
soon . . The one service was well attend-
ed and the blessing of the Lord was
with us. Brother Nelson was at his
best in song, and the saints prayed and
testified and all seemed much interested
in the progress of our work as shown
.by the map. The envelope system wi_ll
be adoptE:d here.
Bivins.
Brothers Nelson, Phillips, .and the
writer with others from Texarlmna
l eft for Bivins and were joined on the
way by Rev. L. L. Gaines; pastor of
Slough and Collingsburg Circuit
iu Louisiana, and .several others who
were on the way to the Bivins rally.
We had a good rally at this point; the
weather was very warm, the attend-
ance was large at night and good in the
day time. Vve assisted in five services
autl took part in a church business
meeting.
Bivl.ns is a part of Brother Phillips'
cil' CUit, and they are planning f_or ag-
gressive work Tpey h a':e a . large
tabernacle, right m
Yi llacre and our people own their
house and have a good sized
membership, with a growing Sunday
school. They adopted the envelope
t em. elect ed the Church Missionary
Boa.l'd and promise good things for
missions.
Important .church matters necessi-
my returning to Peniel for con-
sultation with General Superintendent
Ellyson, so that I was obliged to leave
Bivins a day ahead of my slate. I was
disappointed in not having District
Superintendent Scott with us more on
the district, but serious illness of his
wife and other unavoidable circum-
stances prevented him from being with
us after we left Pilot Point. We en-
joyed his presence very much the short
t ime he was with us and pray the Lord
wi ll give him a great r evival on his
large district . We are much indebted
to Brother Nelson, Brother Scott's as-
f;istant and singing evangelist, who is
one of our promising young preachers,
fnt his ass.istance as guide, preacher,
and singer .

the pastor , R e'v. J . N. Speakes. vve were
soon seated at a bountiful breakfast
with our. brother's wife, mother and
t wo lovely littl e girls. A part of the
(lay was occupied in company with
Brother Speakes and other brethren
looking over some very fine blocks of
land that Bro. Speakes and the saints
on Arkansas di strict hope to secure
fm a camp ground, orphanage and r es-
cue home. We have at one
of t he strongest church es and one of

The writer arriver at Malden on Sat-
urday about 10 a. m., where we found
Brothers La.wrence and ' Hudgings of
Coruthersville, Mo., delegates to the
rally, waiting to accompany me to the
parsonage, where. we found our pastor,
Rev. c, L. Vlilliaths, quite aftlicted from
the effects of a recent attack of period-
ical headache.
Pastor williams has without doubt
one of the largest, if not the largest,
circuits in our connection, extending
from 'Malden to the Mississippi river,
embracing Coruthersville, a distance of
about sixty miles, and Beech Grove and
Callas Springs, Ark., some eighty miles
south in the opposite direction, making
a distance of 140 miles to the extremes.
We have a good, large church house
at Malden and land for parsonage all
paid for and $600 in the bank to start
the parsonage with. Malden is a grow-
ing city surrounded by a fertile coun-
. try well populated and should become
one of the influential centers out of
which shall flow a constant stream of
holy influence and power. Brother
Williams and his good wife are win-
ning their way among the people and
are planning for a far-reaching work.
.We had five good services with this
people; with the exception of Saturday
morning the attendance was large. Sev-
eral were wholly sanctified, among
them a Methodist preacher and one of
our Sunday school sup-erintendents.
Brother Williams is planning to push
the envelope system on the entire cir-
cuit. Pray for this dear brother and
his family who have just come among
us and whose whole soul and body and
mind is devoted to the spread and con-
serving of scripturai holiness.

SECOND CHURCH, CHICAGO.
We have just closed our twenty-one
days of speci al meetings. God wa.s .
- with us in every meeting, souls wer e
saved, believers sanctifi ed wholly and
the saints wer e edified. The Friday
meetings were l';Urely a of grace
to the f ew t hat came to . pray. I am.
sure that our su ccess as a church will
depend a great deal upon just such
kind of praying we had at these
special days of fasting and prayer.
Sunday, February 28, the last great
day of the feast, was indeed a great
day. We had with us J . A. Berr;y and
wife; also Stella Brandenburg, . from
Robinson, Ill. (They are members , of
our church but live at Robin.son. )
They came over 200 miles to be with
us, and as they sang, talked, prayed
and shouted, oh how. the fire fell . Three
souls were at the altar. one for pardon
and two for \purity, and so the work
. k eeps moving ; the revival fire is burn-:
ing. We .expect to cat ch our breath in
March, Only holding our regular meet-
ings, and then hold meetings every
5
-night. in April. We hope 'to be abie.:-tq_-
:get I .- G . . Martin or . L. M, .-Williams-.-
We have taken in thirteen new mem-
bers since the 6th of December, 1908,
and have two more coming in next Sun-.
day, making a total of 39 members, ,
with at least six or eight more on the
fence. One sister .had been a Metho-
dist for twenty-three years but she .got
sanctified wholly in the special services,
and after reading over our Manual she
said, "I want to be one of them."
Amen. They say we are in a hard .
place-a Catholic neighborhood. Well,
I'm glad the -Lord is a specialist on
h'ard cases and places. We have four
converted Catholics in our church, and
they are blessedly saved ; one of them
is one of our deacone.sses. We are
praying and believing for the streams
of water to break out in the desert place .
and God is hearing us. If we just keep
our faces in the dust, our hearts on fire
.and our .sleeves rolled up, God will s <';e
us through. We don't purpose to l et
the bars down in or<-ler to increase our
membership; with the aid of the HQly
Ghost and our good membership com-
mittee God is helping us. get into the
fold a band of men and women "whose
hearts God has touched. ''

GARFIELD, WASH.
We closed o:ur _meeting here last
night. . It had been running seventeen
days. Rev. C. H. Davis of Spokane was
down and helped us seven days. He
preached- in the demonstration of the
Spirit and conviction was on, the peo-
. ple. Six were at the altar seeking
sanctification, one of whom was the
pastor of the Methodist church of this
place.
This meeting was held in the Meth-
odist churc:h. this of itself being quite
a victory fol' the Nazarenes here. Two
years ago we were hardly recognized
at all, but we have a+ last made an im-
pression upon the pP.ople. the
meeting commenced the Methodist pas-
tor, a Godly man, said that he r ecog-
nized that we had something that his
heart was longing for. This meeting,
I am forced to believe. was a greater
help to our work h er e than the .
seems to indicate;
We have our property all paid for
now, hence we can wor ship under our
own vine a nd fig tree. J. T. Little.

The First Church of the Nazarene
enjoyed another remarkable day
Sunday (March 7). It was the time
for receiving new members into the
church. This is a special feature with
us and w.e set _apart one afternqon,
the first Sabbath. of each , month, for
the purpose. Another large class .
numbering twenty-five. was received
amidst the songs and shouts of the
people. Each candidate for member-
ship gave a Clear ringing testimony
to. salvation. Among this number
wasa little Spanish girl ten years of
age and an old gentleman 79 years
old; .
Following : this delightful service,
John Fulton, a c6nverted saloon-keep-
er of New York City, related his ex-
perience. His _story is most remark-
able and s hows what God can do with
a man direct, without any human in-
tervention.
Great crowds are thronging the
church to hear the pastor preach in
the morning on the subject, "The
Ministry of the Spirit, ' '. aQd in the .
evenimr on, "A Bible Hell.''
T-he Sunday St!h<>"ol was only nine-
teen short of the three huridre"d mark.
We are expecting to reach three hun-
dred by Easter. At every service
there are many persons seeking sal-
vation. The church has never been
more prosperous nor harmonious in
its history. We thank God for all
these blessings and . press on for
greater victories F. L.

AT THE TABERNACLE
Dr. Bresee px;eached at 11 a. Iil. Sab-
bath on: ,.,The Great _Temptation."
Taking for his text .Matt. 4:8-10, he
sketched the childhoo.d . and youthful
life of Jesus Christ and spoke of His
initiation by John into the priestly
office so far as His washing with water,
and ho:w he was ''anointed with . oil
above His fellows'' by the coming of
the Holy Ghost upon Him. He referred
to His new and enlarged consciousness
aroused by the Holy Ghost anointing
and of the wilderness tests. Of the
'two. periods of the temptations, one
during forty days of fasting and
prayer, the others following, of whick
we have the more detailed account. He
briefly described the first two, leading
np to this laf?t and great temptation,
which while repelled by Jesus has been
such a fatal battleground for the
church . . He showed the devil 's propo-
sition to give the kingdoms of the
world and their attention, praise and
honor to J esus Christ on the condition
that he himself be left suprem&-that
he would dispute whatever power he
had over men to Jesus on the terms
that there should be no real salvation.
He showed that his terms did not neces-
sitate even formal or ritualistic wor-
ship to satan; abstinence of Christ 's
divine supremacy was sufficient. A
multitude of things . could supercede
J esus upon which attention could be
fixed, such as power, ir!.fluence,
strength, wealth, nature, beauty, art,
hero.ism, altruism, etc. It was to be the
gift of satan; no atoning blood, no Holy
Ghost. Christ's method was different
-worship God and holy service.
On the preceding Sabbatn a state-
ment had been made in reference to the
needs of the running expenses of the
church and that an opportunity would .
be given on this for special
offerings in connection with the regu-
lar offering of the day. At the close
of the sermon a table was placed at the
altar and a happy march was had of
the enti r e congr egation amid songs of
praise, who laid their offerings on the
table and then gathered as near the
altar ang_ the pastor led
th!'lm m prayer and praise. It was a
delightful service an,d over $500 was
laid on the table.
The afternoon service at the taber-
nacle was in charge of Brother Good-
win, who l ed the people on to victory.
As the people gathered around the al-
tar for a . specia) , season of earnest
prayer dear Lord drew n ear to.
bless while saints prayed through
for- conviction on the evening service.
'!'here were several strangers who ex-
pres!>ed their delight in finding such a
churcJ1 and people, and if they should
come to Los Angeles to live their lot
for a church home had been selected
with this people.
.. The 1_nessage of the evening given by
Brother Goodwin based on Rom.
8 :2, "For the .law of the Spirit of life
lVazarene- Messe.nger
in Christ Jesus hath-made me free from
the law of sin and . deat h:'! 'l-Ie said
that the- text was a key .. to unlock the
secret of freedom for the. soul from sin
and sinning, and after defining the
t erm law, took up the three laws with
which we have to do: 'fhe law of God,
the law of sin and death, a nd the law
of the spirit of life in Christ J esus.
There were three at the altar seeking
God. .

The home-spun r evival has again
broke forth with renewed power and
blessing in its path. God is answering
prayer in so many ca,ses that as a
church our faith is being enlarged and
we are looking for visitations
of God's power to justify and sanctify
than in days that have passed.
Pastor Knott preached night and
morning to large congregations with
great liberty and the spirit of convic-
tion was on many hearts. At morning
altar call Brother Proctor was definite-
ly sanctified to God and a brother of
our Brother Richmond was gloriously
converted. He arrived in Los Angeles
Saturday, 10 p. m., They talked of sal-
vation till the early morning hours. He
came to Sabbath school, attended
preaching services, blessedly saved
and the night service found him at the
altar, pointing others to Christ, Thank .
God for His transformng power. :
The night altar call witnessed an-
other gracious sight. ' Two souls s-eek-
ing pardon, one .. a .young lady and the
other an elderly man w1th head frosted
with the . winters ol: over 75 years,
brought to this place of penitence
through _the prayers of his daughter

_.At the afternoon anniversary ser-

Church of the Nazarene?" reviewing
the necessity of haying places where the

let or hindrance from ecclesiastical in-
terference. A tl\,ble offering was r e-
ceived in triumphant Nazarene manner
of marching around the chur ch, and
singing and prai'sing the people
laid $300 on the table as an anniver-

At six o'clock Brother B. N. Cono-

blessings of God.

\Ve are happy to report a . glorious
work of grace upon these people and
within their church. The meetings
opened at the appointed time and the
manifestations of God's power and
presence \Vere evident from the begin-
ning. The tides of holy power and sal-
. vation swept . and continued to rise
U!ltil they would break in on us like
billows on- the rolling ocean.
Much prayer had been offered and
the " ;ay was carefully and very wisely
}Mvecl for this gracious r evival by the
good pastor, Rev. l.1. H. Humphrey, and
his noble wife. God bless them abun-
dantly for thei r care for us, for their
unceasing labors during this royal cam-
paign and for their judicious spirit,
gentle disposition, holy life. Godly walk
and efficient work. we riever labored
with a church and pastor with whom
and where we enjoyed our labors and
associations more than we did here.
l\Iany precious souls were saved, r e-
claimed and sanctified during these
meetings. l\lany said to us at the close
t .hat "This was the greatest re\'ival'
1peeting ever held in Cucamonga: \Ve
ne\rer saw anything like it; it is simply
marvelous in our eyes."
The superintendent of . tl1e Cuca-

were blessedly saved. 0! what shout-
ing and rejoicing as he came in the
church Sunday afternoon, with his face
all aglow with the bliss and glory of

him!
It was a time that will never be for-
gotten. It seemed more an old-
fashioned holiness camp meeting tQan
anything we . have witnessed in many
clays . . At the close of the last service
we opened the doors of the church and.
several families with others came in
and we had a gracious, sweeping climax.

''How about the mince pies 1

''If she doesn't, she lmows how to

HOW WILL IT BE?
How will it be at evening,
When the tiHionbeams ' glistening light,
Shall fall upon thy pathway,
In the still and silent night.;
Will they rest in shining radiance
On ripe and golden shcave<s,
That thy weary hands ha,e gathered,
Or on dry and fndcd .leaYes'l
How will it be at evrning, .
"Vhen the shadows arc o 'er the !awl,
And thy homeward way is wended,
With the sickle t hy hand,
./\ ncl thy feet are hot a'lnl weary,
From the long and dnAty way;
'\'ill thy hcatt. be quite contented
With the labors of the
' Vhat it be at <.W<'ning.
To wake in sad afright,
A ncl find the day departed,
With its <'ha ntes and bri ght ?
Xo harvest treasure gath<.> rNl.
Ko sheaves of golden gra in:
Thy time a ll passrd in drpaming.
To 11<' 'cr retn rn again!
The reaper's: arm is weary,
H<' . toils till close of day ;
But songs of :sweet rejoicing
Kow cheer his homeward way;
His heart is fi lled with gladness
At the glorious hanest h.ome,
And the Master's commendation:
'' fait hful child, well
Oh, wake! ye i dl E' drpamers,
Who live in sel fish ease,
And listen to the message
That floats upon the brPcze :
''The fi elds are white to harvest,
The laborers are few;
The day is swiftly passing
And Jesus calls for you. ''

TilE HOLY SPIRIT.
The prea ch er or r eligious teacher
who can ignore the Holy Spirit and His
offi ce work in human r ed emption can
with equal propriety ignore any other
Bible doctrine.
The ancient prophets the
coming of the Holy Spirit. Christ
again and again promised His follow-
er s the gift of the Holy Spirit. The
inspired apostles r eceived Him, wrote
of Him. and taught all believers to be
fill ed with the Spirit. No minister of
the gospel can with propriety n eglect
to procl aim the baptism .with the Spirit.
It is not enough thaJ give the
Hol.v Spirit a place in our creed, songs,
prayer s, a nd liturgy. He must h ave a
p l ace in our h earts-He mu.st h ave our
h earts. If the Spirit comes .into the life
at all, H e must occupy the heart. as His
throne a nd rule t h e entire life.
, The Holy Spirit is not a small edition
of deity to he possessed. controlled or
mnnipnlated b y man . H e is one with
1'1H Father and the Son. H e must come
to us and enter into us not as our ser-
vant lnit as oui Master. H e will l}Ot
b e to us; w e must be s nhj cct
to Him.
The Holy is not a thing and
sl 10nlrl n ever he refr lT<'rl to as it. He
Nazarene Messenger
is a a nd should be referred to
as Him. H e is ever present; l et u s
commit no sin in His presence. He is
r ead, . a nd abl e to guide; let us not
d a r e' to go a lone, but ever follow His
l eading. H e is a blessed Comforter ;
l et u s not walk in sorrow, but en joy the
a nd p eace which h e gi v es to the
s ubmit ted, trusting h eart.
T a k e your Bible concordance
turn. to. the many reference to the Holy
Spirit. Note His p ersonality, His pres-
en ce in the world, His authority in the
church. His work in the salvation of
men , and ask yourself if yon can afford
to ianorP. Him or r efuse Him a full
rnl e;,-ship within your h eart and life.-
