Inflation is worrying many people,

Calling people names or denouncing

THE FULNESS OF THE SPIRIT
(Continued)
Rev. M. C. Howard.
Consider what the Fulness of the
Spirit means.
We cannot expect to have it if we
are content to live without it. Our
Ood is not likely to entrust this price
less gift to those who are indifferent
to its possession. If the blame of de
sire burns low, there can be no intel
ligent expectation that the Holy Spir
its fulness shall be realized.
A fitful or inconsistent desire which
flames up today and then lies dormant
for weeks or months will not suffice.
There must be a steady purpose able
to stand the test of waiting, if need
be and to bear the rebuff of silence
or apparent denial. We must meditate
closely before the fire can burn. And
it becomes us, to stir up the gHt that
is within us, by a Quiet consideration
of all that is meant by being filled
with the Spirit.
it is marvelous what the fulness did
for those who' first received it. Cow
ards became brave. Those who had
stumbled at the simplest truths, sud
denly awoke to gra3p the Master’s
scheme. Such power attended their
words that crowds became congregat
ions; the murderers of Christ became
His wors:ppers and friends; councils
of clever men were not able to with
stand the simple eloquence of indis
putable facts; towns and countries
were shaken and yielded converts by
the thousands to the unlearned but
,’ervid preachers of the cross.
The promises In the Scriptures are
enough to Incite us tc the uttermost
that rivers of living water should
flow from u?! we would not need to
be anxious about our words for they
would be given; that we should te
taught all things and led inti the
hole circle of truth; that we should
know Christ and be changed into His
mage and if needs he we shall be
prepared to hear the test of long wait
ng, a3 the faithful did in the “upper
•hamber."
Seek this Blessed Fulness from
Right Motives. God will not minister
to our pride. He will not give the
loly Spirit to enable us to gain cele
brity; or to procure a name; or to live
an easy, self contented life.
If we seek the Holy Spirit merely
for our happiness comfort, or liberty
it sou'.s. it will be very unlikely that
He will be given. His one passion is
the glory of our Lord; and can only
make His abode with those who are
willing to be at one with Him. “Can
two walk together except they be
agreed.” If you are actuated by the
simple desire that the Lord Jesus may
h, magnified by you whether by life
or death, desiring above all else that
men should turn from you to Him,
as did John the Baptist. If your mot
ves fall below this standard, trust
Him to enlighten and purify them and
itfer Him a free entrance wi‘o”i.
Then it will not he long ere the Lord
shall suddenly come to His temple
nuLsit as a refiner of silver that we
night offer an offering of righteous-
ness.
Let the Holy Spirit Have His Way
vith You. The Holy Spirit is in us,
md that means Christ is in us; for He
hvells in tis by the Spirit. Therefore
we must perpetually yield ourselves
to Him; which can only be accompli
shed by continual mortification of our
self life.
The perpetual filling of the Holy
Spirit is only possible to those who
obey Him in all things. Nothing is tri
vial in this life. Neglect of slight
commands will speedily shut out the
sunlit circle, and lose the gracious
plentitude of spiritual power. A look,
a word, a refusal, may suffice to
grifeve Him, in ourselves, and to
quench Him in others. Count the cost
hut do not be afraid of what He may
demand.
Receive Him by Faith. “As ye have
received Christ the Lord so walk ye
in Him.” Faith is the one law of the
Divine household and as once yon ob
tained forgiveness and salvation by
faith, so now claim and receive the
'Holy Spirit’s fulness. Fulfill the con
ditions as named; wait quietly but de
finitely before God in prayer, for He
gives His Holy Spirit to them that
ad: Him. T.ust Him day by day to
fill you and keep you filled. “Accord
ng to thy fa til so be It unto you.’
Doub loss there is a great deal mo*e
In the doctrine of the Holy Spirit
than is lealized by the writer of these
'eeble l.nes. The fiery bap ism may
be something far beyond. So let us not
he content to miss anything possible
to the redeemed .but leaving the (
.hing3 that are behind, let us press on
to those before, striving to apprehend
all for w hich we have been apprehend,
ad by Ch.ist Jesus. And if we perse
vere we shall realize possibilities in
ou ■ lives that will recall the days cf
the apostles, and enable Us to under
stand what Jesu3 meant when ile
spoke of those greater works which
should be wrought by His followers
after He had gone tack to His Father.

YOUR BANK AND MINE

By Gordon Lewis
a question of doubt the ori-,
ginal bank developed from a commun
ity need for some place where money
could be deposited foi security and
in the hands of someone who was hon
est and trustworthy. Thus we find
some solid, substantial, respected citi
zen as the custodian of the general
funds of the people. Paralleling him
there was a crusty old skinflint, “Old
Moneybags" who loaned money at us
urious rates and traded in human
need.
But these days are gone forever.
Today banking is a distinct profession
The obligation of honesty and trust
worthiness will always remain, but
over and beyond this the banker must
know economics, finance, law, market
ing and the thing? which are allied
to the arts and industries of his com
munity. The real banker of today is
an understanding business counsellor,
whose main desire as far as possible
within the scope of his own activities
is to aid in building up his customers’
business, in developing thrift among
his depositors and in prompting the
economic welfare of the community
which his tank serves.
These are unquestionably the funct-

IN MEMORY OF OUR GRANDFATH
ER JAMES B. SHEFFIELD
(By Ruth and Hayzel Jones)
On the night of August 16, 1932, a
death Angel visited the home of our
dear grandparents. The angel glid
ded down from Heaven flitted over
Grandfather’s bed where he lay peace
fully sleeping, floating over his still
form, it touched him iver so gently
and softly kissing his brow beckoning
him to follow, stealing his spirit away.
He left his near wife and children.
The Angel
Steps lightly
Over the spreading roof.
Touching the sleeper . ■
With loving fingers;
Then kneeling down
With smiling grace,
It kisses’ the kind face
Whispering Come so sweet,
Until it softens in a smile.
As Grandfather and the angel pass
over the beautiful river, we feel there
arose many shouts,in Heaven, and Jes
us threw the Portals wide open and
ions of the modern banker, changed
only by the conditions and pursuits
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
banker 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 denied. 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
when we need *bem.
gave Grandfather w'elcome as he en
tered therein.
We were not expecting Grandfather
to live long, as he had been very ill
for sometime, yet, when we received
the news of his death, it was a great
shock. He passed quietly away while
he was sleeping.
Grandfather was CO years of age.
He was a good man, loving and kind,
very considerate at home, ever ready
to help those in need. He joined the
Baptist Church when he was a boy,
always living a Christian life. We be
lieve that he is now mingling his
voice with that of all the Saints in
Heaven, singing sweet songs.
May God give us Grace to sustain
us through life, and when our life on
earth is ended, may we all meet
Grandfather in that Land where there
is no sorrow nor parting.
