TU FBLNBM OF THB SPIMT
( Rv. U. C. Howard.)
"Be filled with the Sprlrlt” Eph. t:ll.
Nothing can compensate the church
or the individual Christian for the lack
of the Holy Spirit. What the full
stream Is to the mill wheel, that Is the
Holy Spirit to the church. What the
principle of life Is to the body, that is
the Holy Spirit to the individual. We
stand confused and powerless in the
presence o four foes and difficulties
until we learn what He can be as a
mighty tide of love and power in the
hiarts of His saints.
There are many different forms of
spiritual weakness. All are directly
attributable to the lack of the Holy
Spirit. Not that they are completely
destitute of Him; for then they would
not be Christians at all; but being
within them He is present only as an
attenuated thread, a silver streak, or
a shallow brook. Why be content with
this? The fulness of the Spirit, the
baptism of fire, the enduement with
power are all within our reach. Let
us be inspired with a holy ambition to
get all that our Father is willing to be
stow.
Do you lack ASSURANCE? Some
times we do not, for we are happy
and content. Anon these happy hours
are gone and your rest is broken, like
the mountain peak is overcast and
ruffed by the gathering storm. We
need a basis of settled peace; which is
only to be found in clear apprehension
of what Jesus has done for us and in
the sealing of the Holy Spirit. It is
His sacred office to witness with our
spirit that we are the children of God.
He i3 the Spirit of adoption whereby
we cry, Abba Father.
Do you lack VICTORY OVER SIN?
This is no wonder if you neglect the
Holy Spirit. He is the antidote to the
risings find dominion of the flesh. He
lusts against the flesh so that we may
not fulfill its lusts. When He fills
the heart in His glorious fulness, the
suggestions of temptation are instant
ly quenched liKe sparks in an ocean
wave. Sin can no more stand in the
presence of the Holy Spirit than dark
ness can resist the gentle all-perasive
beams of morning light.
However should He he grieved, re
sisted, or quenched, so that His power
and presence are restrained there is
no deliveranve for our spirits,—How
ever bitter its remorse, or eager its
resorts to fastings, mortifications or
regrets. For only the law of the Spirit
of Life in Christ Jesus can make us
free from the law of sin and death.
Are you lacking in THE FRUITS
OF HOLINESS? We meet with some
who are so evidently filled with the
fruits of righteousness which is to the
praise of God, we are instinctively
drawn to them. Their faces shine
brightly with the presence of the Lord
though they drink the cup of His sor
rows. Their spirits are tender; their
disposition sweet and unselfish; and
their childlike humility casts a halo
of indescribable beauty over their
whole behavior.
If we lack these graces there is but
little in us to attract others to Christ;
much to repel. Our boughs are naked
and barren as if stripped by locusts.
The reason is evident. We have not
let the Holy Spirit have His way with
our inner life. Had His presence been
mighily within we would have been
laden with luscious fruitage.
Do you lack POWER FOR SEIU
VICE? Have no burning thirst for the
salvation of souls. No agony over the
aleniation of men from God. And
when you speak, there is no power in
what you say. The home, the class,
the congregation lield no results. No
choice fruit fills your basket. No re
cruits accept your call to arms. These
cannot be expected till we obtain the
power our Lord promised when He
said, “Ye shall receive the power of
the Holy Spirit coming upon you.” It
was when the early Christians were
filled with the Holy Spirit, that they
spoke the word with boldness, and
gave witness with great power to the
resurrection of the Lord Jesus.
While we admit the special gifts of ]
the Holy Spirit given for specific pur
poses has been withdrawn. Yet the
special gifts are al ogether apart from
His fulness, which is the exclusive
right of no age, neither confined to
any limited epoch or era in the history
of the church; neither is there a be
liever too ignorant or unlearned into
which TTe will not come to enrich if
only the channel of communication be
kept cleansed and open. ,
"Be filled with the Spirit,” is an in
junction as wide-reaching in its de
mands as any other found in the Sa
cred Word. It is a positive command
which we must obey at our peril; yet
how sweet the thought, all God’s com
mands are enablings. In other words
He will make us what He tells us to
become i" we only submit to His Spirit
Moreover the Apostle Peter told his
listeners, on the day of Pentecost that
the fulness which had suddenly coiid
on them from the ascended Lord was
not for them alone, but for their child
ren and as many as the Lord our God
| shall call. Are yo one of the called
I ones? Then rejoice because that ful-

ions of the modern banker, changed

of the community in which the bank
Is situated. The people and the bank
er are partners in a great community
enterprise and I found bankers much
more willing to recognize that relation
than the people are to accept it. The
hanker knows his responsibility to
the men and women he is serving but
the individual with a selfish desire to
be gratified, is unwilling to recognize
his partnership in the responsibility
of protecting community funds, if it
means that his personal request is to
be dented. The greatest service the
banker renders is the sound and effi
cient conduct of his institution which
is the public "strongbox." Neither
the bank nor the community gains
when a bank makes an unsound loan,
even though it may be for some appar
ently worthy community purpose. The
loss eventually finds its way back to
the public. The bank that looks first
to its own solidity lays the foundation
for its best and greatest service and
is the institution to which you and I
should entrust our funds with the as
surance tnat they will be available
