Theme: Divine Indwelling.
Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching on the
ftbove theme at the Irving Square
Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Ira W.
Henderson, pastor, took as bis text
Jno. 20:22: “Receive ye the Holy
Spirit.” He said:
The reception of the Holy Spirit in
the inner sanctuary of the human
heart is the condition of entrance into
the kingdom of God. The possibility
of the immediate and present incom¬
ing and welcoming of the Spirit is
reason enough for us to believe that
the kingdom begins in this life and
at once, if you will. The fact that the
coming of the Spirit into the heart is
contemporaneous with the entrance
of the individual into the privileges of
divine citizenship is sufficient demon¬
stration that spirituality is the key to,
and the essence of, and the first re¬
quirement of admission to the king¬
dom. The one and only way to par¬
ticipate in the joys and blessings of
the Spirit filled life is to cease from
hardness of heart, and from intellec¬
tual self-glorification and self-trust,
and to become as little children in
humility and in receptivity to truth.
Spirituality and divine citizenship are
one and the same thing. Growth in
spirituality is the test of efficient
citizenship. The man who has stopped
depending upon his own strength, his
own wisdom, and has opened his
e y 6 g and ears and mind and heart to
the influences and manifestations of
the Spirit is ready to receive, and in
nil conscience will get, the papers and
rights of a citizen of the kingdom of
the God of Jesus Christ. And that
soul only is being sanctified unto God¬
likeness and fashioned into the image
of Jesus Christ who is growing daily,
hourly, momently, in the gifts and
graces of the spiritual life. To be
spiritual is to become childlike. To
attain spiritual development is the
aim and the calling of those who are
Christ's. the personal,
The Holy Spirit, God puri¬ in
fying, propelling presence of
tiie life of man, is the means unto
the spiritualizing of human natures
according to the divine decrees. The
i entrance of the Spirit means death
to sin. The yielding of self to the
gentle ministrations of the Holy
Ghost is the first step toward indi¬
vidual transformation. The com
| munion of the spirit of man with the
Spirit of God brings peace, content¬
ment, rest and a wisdom and energy
which are more than sufficient to meet
the demands and the opposition of
the world.
No mere impersonal, unreal, this Spirit un¬
attainable something Is
which Christ bade His disciples re
C eive, and of which at a later time
they received a fuller measure. It is
the real, helpful, personal presence
of God in the life. The spirit of man
is a prey to all sin save the Spirit of
God as a constructive, controlling
force comes in. The transfusion of
the soul with the vitality of the
fills the dying heart of man with life.
There are three characteristics
the Holy Spirit to which l wish
direct your thought. The Holy
is a constant presence in the life
the world, a controlling energy,
soul satisfying comforter.
The Holy Spirit is a constant
ence and factor in the life of
world. The entire list of graces and
gifts and blessings which are ours
at the hands of our Heavenly
are constant. The gift of the
is no exception to the rule. When
God promises to men the presence
and uplift of the Holy Spirit upon the
fulfilment of certain conditions upon
their part He means just what He
says. Our Father is not fickle or
changeable or inconstant. He is the
game to-day, yesterday and forever.
And His Spirit, which is His own real,
personal presence in the hearts of
men, is as constant as all else with
which He has anything to do. When
we were far away from duty and were
serving sin the Spirit of the living
God was knocking ever at our hearts.
And though we hated ourselves and
the depth of our own iniquity, though
the world may have despised us and
forsaken us, though everything in life
may have held us as “unclean” with
the leprosy of sin, still the Spirit of
our livin o» loving Father stood wait¬
ing to reveal to us the wealth and
beauty of the love of God and to re¬
vive our dying souls with the fullness
of power unto eternal life.
The constancy of the' Spirit as a
factor in life is nowhere better illus¬
trated than in the experience of
Christian men who have given
themselves up, in less or greater
measure, to His dominion. What a
joy what, a comfort, what a stay it is
to know that whenever and whereso¬
ever we may turn to the Spirit for
the portion of refreshment that our
souls so sorely need, we shall always
find Him ready to supply our wants.
There is no sense and no reason in
much of our constant petition to God
1 10 in fin u3 -with His of thought Spirit. The and in¬ of
fluences of types escapable. We
prayer are hardly
have grown so accustomed to ask
God to fill us with His Spirit
of power. But I submit, would we
not pray better and more to the point
jf we thanked our Father for the
favors of His love and acknowledged
to Him in person, what He already
knows, our shortcomings and our lack
of appropriation of the gift of His
Spirit. The showers of spiritual
blessings are forever falling free, full
and sufficient upon human souls
everywhere, Our prayers should not
be of petition that God may give us
showers, but rather of thanksgiving
for past, present and future blessings
and of dedication of self; through the
riches of His grace ahd powers to a
finer and more fruitful life for Him,
The presence and influence of the
Holy Spirit in the life of the world is
a constant gratuity. If you are not
the deeply grounded spiritual man
that you should be the fault lies not
with the Spirit, of which there is
abundance unto all men’s necessity,
but with you who have refused that
wealth of spiritual power which, un¬
der God, might be yours if you would.
Everywhere and continually the Spirit
of the Lord is active. He knocks
over at the door of the sinner's heart.
He is forever pouring out the inex¬
haustible waters of spiritual life upon
the parched soul® of men. But neither
God nor His Spirit can fill an in¬
verted cup. The showers of blessings
can not flood a closed heart.
Then, too, the Holy Spirit Is a con¬
trolling energy in the life of the
man who is susceptible to His influ¬
ence. Christ tells us that His Spirit
shall lead us unto all truth; that He
shall be our Guide, our Teacher and
our Helper. The catalog of the activ¬
ities of the Spirit in the life of man
is strengthening and sustaining. By
Him we are led into the entirety of
divine self-revelation and of eternal
truth. Under the guidance of the
Spirit of the living God we may pro¬
gress from truth to truth as the won¬
ders of God's universe are revealed
to us and the application of everlast¬
ing verities brought home to our
hearts. May no man flinch to follow
the Spirit whithersoever He may di¬
rect. As Dante went through hell
and heaven and the intermediate re¬
gions of the world beyond, and told
in allegory and song the wonders that
he witnessed and the sights he saw,
so may we, with the Spirit as our
Guide, be given grace to look truth
squarely in the face and portray it
faithfully to the world. And if we,
as Dante, or beyond him Christ, shall
be hounded by those who fear the
light of truth we shall yet be certain
that the truth, the truth alone, is
worth men’s fealty and shall make
them free.
The Spirit as the Comforter ap¬
peals to the heart of every Christian.
Who of us does not joy in the fact
that above us and within us is this
comforting Spirit of the Lord our
God? The human heart cries out for
comfort When distress and danger and
destruction come upon it. When our
hearts are bowed in anguish and our*
souls are crushed with grief, when
every human tie is severed and no
mortal hand may avail to dispel our
utter darkness, then the Spirit of
the loving Father strengthens, sus¬
tains, sanctifies the soul. “Save me,
0 God, for the waters are come into
my soul,” we cry out with the
Psalmist. In the Judah wild^rndfes
of the world our souls thirst for Him,
our flesh longs for Him as in a dry
and thirsty land, where no water is.
Then the Spirit comes, and with His
entrance the live springs of refresh¬
ment minister to our souls’ deep need.
The Spirit as the Comforter is God
in His presence ministering to the
humanest of mortal needs. No man
can live happily without Him. No
man can weather the trials of tribula¬
tion and the temptations of prosper¬
ity without Him. Lending the sor¬
rowing light, hearts He keeps the suc¬
cessful level headed.
The sense of the constant presence
of the Spirit of God in the individual
and world life is the certain indica¬
tion of a true religious experience.
No man who lives near to God is with¬
out it. It is elemental in Christian
experience. And this consciousness
of God’s abiding and guiding is the
mainstay of the soul. Without it
progress is impossible in the truest
sense. With it we may fight with fear¬
lessness, with hope unquenchable,
against principalities and powers,
against the wickednesses of high
places and the sins of mighty men.
For the abiding Spirit of the living
God is the controlling energy in the
life of humanity. Bad men may de¬
feat Him temporarily; evil policies
may frustrate His purposes and hurl
themselves against His plans; but the
Spirit of God is unconquerable. He
is the controlling, the overruling en¬
ergy of the world. In this Spirit we
should find our strength. From Him
we should derive the comfort of our
souls.
Let not your heart be troubled.
Come what may, be the storms of life
what they will, God will not leave us
comfortless. He will not leave us
orphans. He is with us. He will
abide with every soul who bids Him
enter. He will constantly refresh us
all. He will give us courage and he
our strength. He will suffuse us. He
will comfort us. And He does.
Conscience Not an Information Bureau
If conscience is a safe guide to
what is right and wrong then the
Bible is not needed. There is no
half-Way ground here, for a guide
that needs guidance is no guide at
all. And as a matter of fact, con¬
science is not a guide, and because
so many souls mistakenly think it is,
confused and wandering errors in the
pathway of life are constantly made.
Conscience is a monitor. It prompts
and prods; it urges "Do what you
know to be right; do not do what you
know to be wrong.”. But it does not
instruct us in what is right and what
is wrong; it is not a bureau of in¬
formation. That instruction we re¬
ceive from God in many different
ways, of which the Bible and the
training of parents and teachers are
some. Therefore it will not do to
settle back in the easy assurance that
we have a safe guide in conscience.
We have a tremendous responsibility
to learn, from sources outside of our¬
selves, what is our duty, and those
sources are always available when we
really seek them.—Sunday-School
Times.
