 8In QulLC ACdOy LO o0J OC~ lieve in the Holy Ghost stated Rev. pr. John c. Walker. Second Congregational Church, pastor. yes- terday morning in his sermon, We Believe in the Holy Spirit
 pr. walker said in part: "The difficulty with the use of the word ghost" lies not in original and proper meaning but in modern usage and connotation. Ghost" is A sturdy. old, Anglo-Saxon word that meant spirit" the vital. psychical principle" Tho Holy Ghost then is the vital principle. the essence, the inmost spirit of the divine. But you and are well aware that with the passing of the centuries this fine old English word, ghost" has acquired some unhappy associations in our common speech. one of the saddest of which is the suggestion that the ghost of a smile or on idea or a person is the mere semblance or shadow of some thing real and vital. There fore instead of simply saying. that VIC believe in the Holy Ghost. we think we shall be better under stood if we say. We believe in the Holy Spirit of God. and that God by His Spirit comes into our hearts to restrain us from evil and to in- spire us to goodness and truth
