Pentecostal Blessing.

Fifty days after the Passover Sab
bath came Pentecost. which was the
name that the Greek-speaking Jews
gave TO the second of the three great
Hebrew festivals In the Old Testa-
ment IL was called The Feast of Har-
vest" because it concluded the harvest
OF the later grains: The Feast of
Weeks" because its celebration lasted
seven complete weeks, or fifty days
after the Passover: The Day of the
First Fruits" because the first loaves
from the new grain were then offered
o.: the altar.
While the whole harvest season was
sacred. the agricultural festival of
Thanksgiving for the harvest returns
actually lasted only one day. when
three series of sacrifices were offered
tn the temple. namely, the daily burnt
Offering. the special offerings for the
feast day and the waving of the loaves
OF the newly baked leaven bread and
the lamb. In addition free will offer
ings were brought for the sanctuary
and the poor by individual worshipers.
The Jews have also looked upon Pen
tecost ''as a festival commemorative of
the giving of the law at Mount Sinai in
the third month after they had been
delivered from the bondage of Egypt" "
il was fitting festival for the be-
stowal OF the gift of the Holy Spirit
because to the Christian IL symbolized
I'm its offerings the risen Christ and His
church. The sheaf of first fruits raised
up and presented TO the Lord symbo-
lzed the resurrection of the Lord
Jesus and the loaves made out of the
-four. that was the essence of the
wheat. set forth the individual Chris
tians who had by their new birth be
come partakers of the divine nature.
1t is diff1cuit for us to set before us
the marvels of the spiritual miracle
that transformed the church into a
mighty force, whose power was almost
immediately manifested The outward
material marks of the Spirits presence
were ancient symbols of the presencs
