The Upper Room Mission, open
every evening at 81 North Fifth street
stands for the baptism of the Holy
Spirit. Processing christians are
sadly ignorant of this blessed doc.
trine and experience. An intelligent
christian man who had lived for some
years in this city said: II never heard
sermon on the baptism of the Holy
Spirit. Surely some pastor had
failed to do his duty. Preachers often
are afraid of this doctrine. Are afraid
of being disturbed He shall bap
tie you with the Holy Ghost and with
fire. They are afraid of the fire
But to an obedient servant Gods fire
Ills blessedly sweet and comforting. F,
