years before he knew the Holy Spirit
did special work in, for. with and by
true Christians. The Bible always
speaks of the Holy Spirit as q person.
One verse in st. Johns Gospel uses
such pronouns as him" and "he" four
times to represent tho Holy Spirit.

belief. The Holy Spirit will help him
believe. Tho Holy Spirits work is:

Then II the sinner does his part he re-
pents of his sins, puts them aside,
changes his course in life, makes con-
fession and trusts God In Jesus Christ
for salvation by the faith that the
Holy Ghost then gives him.
III. The Holy Ghost then gives him
the emotion OF divine love. lie knows
this because he is now able to love
persons who do not love him.
; Ill The Holy Ghost gives hope
without which there is no powor.
~. The Holy Ghost gives liberty.
