The day Of Pentecost brought one fulfill
ment of that statement 1t has been re-
peatedly fulfilled in great revivals ever
since, even up to this present day. Medi-
cal missionaries and doctors tell Of cases
of healing that must be ascribed to some
thing more than science.
Back of Christ's emphasis was utmost
faith and confidence In his Father who
sent him; back of His disciples work must
be faith and confidence in their Lord II
is faith that gives force and emphasis and
enthusiasm to our words and work. An
inventors persistent enthusiasm for his
machine is founded on faith i'm it's ulu-
mate success. and his enthusiastic be-
lief convinces others. I'VE know in whom
we have believed" and we know that
what he has promised he is able to do
and has done.
But it is impossible for us to keep up
enthusiasm unless we feed it. A lamp not
replenished with oil viii go out. Honest
enthusiasm lives upon truth, and our en-
thusasm may be kindled and maintained
by the great facts and truths of religion
Study the lives Of great, good men that
we may see what God hath wrought" q"
and our faith be strengthened: for en-
thusiasm has it's foundation in faith and
we need enthusiasm in the Kings busf-
ness.
Though time may dig the grave Of
creeds.
And dogmas wither in the sod,
My soul will keep the thought it needs
Its swerveless faith in God.
No matter how the world began,
Nor where the march of science goes,
MY trust in something more than man
Shall help me bear life's woes.
