He breaches Sermon on the Pentecostal
Power-How TO obtain 1t.
An interesting sermon was preached
by Rev. g i Thompson in Olivet Pres
by yterlan Church yesterday morning His
text was: "And when the day of Pente-
cost was fully come, they were all with
one accord in one place
'And suddenly there came a sound from
heaven as of rushing mighty wind, and
it filled all the house whtre they were
sitting.
And there appeared unto them cloven
tongues of fire and It sat upon each one
of them.
Mr.. Thompson said in part: If the new
year is to be filed with blessings it must
be begun with the help of the spirit. We
should not try to get up a revival. but
get IL down. When the Christian
church first started 1t was so small that
it could be gathered in one place, but
now II has grown so that it has filed the
earth. The church needs to-day more
than It needs anything else an Outpour-
ing Of the Holy Spirit. Among the
features Of this power, as demonstrated
on the day of Pentecost is the loosening
of the tongue. They began to speak as
the spirit gave them utterance They
at once began to preach Christ and Him
crucifed.
After all It Is not so much a question
of our getting power as it Is the power
getting us. Let us draw aside from the
whirl Of actual life and tarry where GOD
has manifested Himself TO US, at the
throne of Grace, until our spiritual
strength is renewed"
