The Office of the spirit is to convict men of sin.
All the preaching in the world will accomplish
nothing unless the spirit is present Men otteu
don't like the preaching that makes them uncom-
Portable. But hey better be uncomfortable than
lost The spirit fills the heart with love- We need
more of this Paul in Galations eaks of the
graces of the spirit-Joy, or Love Exulting Peare,
Love in Repose: Long-suffering, Love in Waiting:
Gentleness, Love in Society; Goodness Love in Ac-
ton: Faith, Love the Battlt field: Meekness
Love at School: Temperance. Love In Training. ALI
these the Spirit gives The Spifit inspires us with
hope. All would be lost. seem lost if we have
not hope. Let the Christian then be full of hope
If the preacher breaches without hope, his word
will be in vain. If we want to be successful, we
must be hopeful. The Spirit also gives liberty:
"where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty
Ministers are sometimes fettered in preaching. The
Spirit sets them Free Prayer will help the minis
ter in his work. The Spirit also leads us to speak
of Christ and his teaching. When men forget to
testify of Christ. then they forget their proper
work. The Spirit acts as our teacher. He will
guide into all TRUTH and he will comfort us; for
Jesus promised that this was to be his work. The
Spirit has had his dwelling places the earth in
the Tabernacle, in Jesus aad in the heart OF the
believer.
The speaker wished to call attention to this one
fact that we may have the Spirit of God dwelling
within The great God has so honored and ex-
ated to permit these poor bodies of ours to be
the dwelling place of His Spi 1.-THE temples of
the Holy Ghost. What care, then. ought we TO take
to keep our bodies pure and our souls unpoluted by
sin! Three cla-ses OF Christians are portrayed in
the Sd 4 b and 7th chapters of John. Nicodemus
is typical character. He was not with the Master,
the 4th chapter we find another type. The Samari-
tau woman found the Saviour, and she went and
told the town and turned it upside down. In the
7th chapter find the promise Of being filled with
The living water. When the heart is full, then 1t
viii be easy to impart to our fellow men. we some
times see one who has no lfe no power. no conse-
cra,on. He is destitute of the Spirit; but let him
be baptized with The Holy Ghost and he will flourish
like the garden of the Lord. Let the power of the
spirit directly upon and into the heart, ii would
do good work for God. When Jesus met His dis
ciples after His resurrection, He breathed
upon them and said unto them, Receive
the Holy Ghost" He also blessed them
when He ascended from them into heaven
The Holy Spirit, as converting, renewing power,
is one thing; and that same spirit as source of
power for work is another. The Spirit is given to
help us in eur work. and he is given in great meas
ure II we will have it. God will give this power 70
us. We shall get all We ask for If desire 1t for
good purpose. Let us seek a double portion OF
Gods spirit. May We seek it with all the heart.
