He that hath seen me hath seen the
Father alsoc' These qualities were
the Spirit of Christ These are holy
virtues. This spirit is a Holy Spirit
1t has been the divine struggle from
the beginning to lead men to GRASP
this spirit, to- admire his nature, tC
desire his qualities, to crave the pos
sibilities of his potential.
The spirit is available to all men.
''He that will, let him take of the wa
ter of life freely" God made it pos
sible for all to obtain him. When man
has come in possession of all these
divine attributes, as is clearly posi-
BILE. then he is Like him. Who
would say that it is not possible for
man to prefer to have all these
virtues permanently installed in his
life; yes, to be actually dominated by
them? Thus there is a harmonious
oneness and the great atOnement Cat
One-ment) is cOnsummated. They
speak the same thing and work in the
same way In the creation all were
there. At present all animate, OPP
crate, vita1ize and evolve in the in
dividual course of action compati-
BILE with the divine purpose. All who
will be fully possessed of these holy
attributes and nature are alike in
their predominant motives and VOLT
ions.
Jesus said, 81 will send you another
Comforter" Jesus was one Comfort
err. 1t was a comfort to hear him
talk to have the infirmatives remov-
ed, to be assured of a continuous
happy life. The Holy Spirit is an
other Comforter. More versatile; can
follow us into every habitation, prov
ince association with no incOnveni-
ence to himself. 1t is remarkable
how he is expressed to u.s. "The
words that | have spoken unto you are
Spirit The New Testament is print
ed in nearly every known language;
more of it distributed than of any
other book 1t speaks the same divine |
doctrine to all 1t weaves it's benef- |
icient influences into every fiber of
our being even while we are other
wise engaged This suggests that the
aborigine, the actually ignorant, the
idolater. the superstitious, or the adj
verse can not by any series of phil
osophies or prayers attain to the ben
Gifts of this Spirit; but that it is es
sential that he learn to know and be
able to utilize the doctrine of right
living. Therefore the Book is essen
ial: therefore the teacher, the
preacher, the missionary and the de-
TOut spirit-filled man are indiSpenS-
lble agencies in the effecting of this
higher life The world can not re-
eive him, because it can not foregO
is selfish desires and ways. We can
My receive him by submitting to the
of our sinful desires, and
0 the full direction of the Christ. The
words acquaint us with the thought of
he spirit: it can not operate in an
bsolute ignorant man. That is why
ne ignorant and heather must be
lught.
