AS n result OF the second outpouring
OF the Holy Spirit, the Prophet Joel
declares, according 10 our Common
Version, "Your sons and your daugh-
tiers shall prophesy, your old men shall
dream dreams, your young men shall
see visions" A preferred translation
OF this heretofore obscure passage
reads, "Your young men In that New
Dlspensation will see with clear vision
what your Ancients dreamed Of and re-.
lated In parallels" This vision Of
glory will be the Reign Of Righteous
ness and the Pentecostal blessing ac-
companying 1t. upon the willing and
obedient, every one OF whom shall b.
brought to clear knowledge and full
opportunity for salvation
Order Of the Blessing.
The order Of the blessing Is stated.
It win come upon all flesh after thoss
days, but upon the servants and the
handmaidens IN those days. The days
mentioned evidently refer to this Cos
pei Age-from Pentecost to the Second
Coming of Christ During this period,
now nearly nineteen centuries, Gods
Holy Spirit has been granted TO His
faithful ones, and to these alone Only
the fully consecrated have been ac-
cepted Of the Lord as living sacrifices;
and only such have been begotten OF
the Holy Spirit that they may be New
Creatures In Christ g Corinthians
$40 During all this time the world
has been unrecognized, so far as the
Holy Spirit is concerned.
Indeed, after Pentecost the Apostle
John went still further and declared,
"The whole world lieth I'm the Wicked
One" The only action Of the Holy
Spirit has BEEN as In the case Of Felix,
to ''reprove the world Of sin, and OF
and of judgment" John
l6:7-11; Acts 24:2J) Our text declares.
however that the time Is coming when
The world will receive a share Of the
great Divine blessing which was fully
assured by the death of Christ But
ts time Of favor will be utter those
this Gospel Age shall have
,ome 10 an end; after the New Dispen
,auon shall have begun.
ITO the Jew First"
only Jews received the first Pente-
'ostal blessing. For three and one
lalf years thereafter the Gentiles were
Excluded, In harmony with a Divine
promise made 10 the Jewish nation.
Then came the time for a similar priyl-
eye to be extended TO the Gentiles

Tents of the Word Of God, that this
,reat gift Of God Is still obtainabe,

When the door Of opportunity to this
Iigh Calling must close. Close II will,
