the poles where it spreads out its
stable continents of ice. As liquid it
islife-giver, for all things are born
in water; as solid it is life-taker,
freezing the life to which it ga\ e
birth. It is the chief motor power
of the world; now by its expansive
power as steam causing the earth
to reel like a drunken man; then
its remorseless contracting icicles
of frost, ice and snow, grind the
lofty mountains into powdered
dust; then frost ice and snow at'e
changed into running water, each
siezing a portion of the mountain
in its eager hand and bearing it.as
thank-offering to the far-away sea.
O water, stable as the mountain,
elusive as the air, now a crystal
star of snow, now an humble
dewdrop mirroring in thy bosom
all the heavens that bend above
thee, thou the finite, dost manifest
the infinite: thy bosom like the soul
of man reveals the invisible things
of God from the creation of the
world, even His eternal power and
God-head!
iuuii U'ncelf is a trinity, Paul
going so jui- as to <say “that which
may be known oi «>.id is manifest
in us.” Tennyson’s iuu.i went
farther than this—
“Flower in the crannied wall,
I pluck you out of the crannies,
little flower;
But if I could know what you
are
Root and all. and all in all,
I should know what God and
man is.”
When we meet a person for the
first time, he reveals himself first
of all as a physical man. We look
at him, noting whether he is large
or small, old or young, handsome
or ugly, but as yet we know very
little about him. We wish to
know whether he is educated or
uneducated, wise or foolish, scien¬
tist or poet, artist or musician, or
one of all these things. When we
find out this we make the acquain
tance of the mind-self of man.
But still we know only two-thirds
of the man. We wish to know
further whether he is a good or
bad man, selfish or self-sacrificing,
pure or impure, sensual or spirit¬
ual—we wish to know the spiritual
man. In this manner we come to
know people in the physical,
mental, and spiritual selves; and
when we know all this, we know
absolutely all there is to know:
we have had a complete revelation
of the triune-man—the three in
one, the one in three,
If we were not a trinity, we
should have to be all spirit, or all
mind, or all body. If I were all
mind I could not walk, if I were
all body I could not think, if I
were not a spiritual being I could
not know right from wrong. To
think of man in this wav is not to
think about man all—for cuing.

or thinking, or praying, involves
the whole man: there is unity,
absolute unity, but who does not
realize the trinity of selfhood?
Thus do the Scriptures speak of
the Trinity as performing different
offices in creation and redemption
of the world. This is called the
economic trinity. In creation the
Father is the Principal, and the
Son and the Spirit are the Agents,
coequal to each other but in work
subordinate to the Father.
In the work of Redemption there
is a different relation of these
persons, The Father is said to
send the Son, and Father and Son
send the Spirit. This is called the
Redemptional Trinity. It is in
this sense we think of the Trinity;
because it must be forever re¬
membered that the knowledge of
the Trinity was no discovery of
the human mind, but a revelation
of the divine love. It is not a
revelation of the divine love. It
is not a mystery for scholors, but
the creed of Christians; not wis¬
dom for the initiated, but an
article of faith for all.
The pre-Christian era knew
nothing of it, for it knew nothing
of redemption; and left to itself
the human intellect could never
have attained to it. But when re¬
demption was accomplished, the
truth was self-evident. When the
Lord was risen, He spoke of the
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and
the disciples asked Him for no ex¬
planation. It was not needed. Not
till God revealed Himself as Fath¬
er, Son and Holy Ghost, was ac¬
knowledged as Father, Son, and
Holy Ghost. But when He re¬
vealed Himself as the Triune God
He was known as such. We speak
of three persons in the divine
nature. It is an utterly inadequate
expression; but we have no other
for it. All onr words are derived
from human relations and are in-
sufficient to express the Divine.
Joseph Cook’s definition is emi-
nently scriptural and at the
t ine philosophic and comprehen-
sice.
“The Father Son and Holy
Ghost are one and only one God.
Eaeh has a peculiarity incommuni-
cable to the others. Neither is
God with the others. Each with
the others is God.”
From this we see what is said
of Christ and the Holy Spirit can
not be said of any human being or
angel. If Moses had never existed,
God would still be God. If the
highest archangel that ever sung
the glory of the Lord had never
waited about God’s throne, God 1
would still be God. But if Christ!
or the Holy Spirit had never exist¬
ed, God would not be God. Either
two without the other is not God.
Either one with the others is God.
We must begin with Jesus if
we would be certain of the Trinity
of God; with the knowledge that
Christ was the revelation of God:
that He is one with God; and that
the Spirit of Jesus Christ who
works in our souls, is the spirit of
God Himself. The Trinity is the
mirrored reflection of God. The
revelation would not be triune but
for the fact that God is in the
mystery of His nature a triune
God. The work of salvation was
accomplished in a triune matinbr
because the inner life of Him who
is Love exists in a triune manner.
Remember that the Trinity is no
fabrication of church or council,
but God has revealed Himself to
the world as Father, Son and Holy
Spirit. W’hat the father demands,
the son performs; and what the
Son ejected the Holy Spirit ap¬
propriates to us. The Father sends
the Son into our world; the Son
atones for Guilt and reconciles us
to God; the Holy Spirit makes us
the children of God, and produces
the new life of love in our hearts.
But what the Son has done for us,
and what the Holy Spirt effects in
us, is all the aet of the same God
who from eternity willed our sal-
vation, and in the fullness of time
accomplished i*. (328:198)
If there were any doubt as to
the personality of the Holy Ghost,
it should be removed bytl words
mnxx u i
of Jesus whenfiHe told His disci-
pies, who were sorrowing at His
away, that “it is expedient
for you that I go away; for if I go
not away, the Comforter will not
come unto you: but if I depart I
will send Him unto you.” “And
when He is come, He will reprove
the world of sin and of righteous¬
ness and of judgment.” “I have
many things to say unto you,
but ye cannot bear them now.”
“Howbeit when He the Spirit of
Truth is come, He will guide into
all truth: for He shall not speak
Himself; but whatsoever He
shall hear that shall He speak: and
lie will shew you things to come.”
“He shall glorify Me; for He shall
receive of mine, and shall shew it
unto you.”
He declared He would send
“another.” Another what? Evi¬
dently One of equal rank with
Himself. Cold comfort if He only
promised a mere influence to take
His place.
He is represented as “hearing,”
“speaking,” “testifying,” and
even “bearing witness.” To Him
are ascribed the functions of
teacher, guide, comforter, reprov¬
er, and empowerer. Perhaps the
proof that is most conspicuous and
conclusive to most minds is that
the most solemu warning ever
uttered in the hearing of a mortal'
ear had reference to the Holy
Spirit. Christ declared His word
may be rejected and His person
spoken against, and the sin be a
forgivable one; but He who spake
a word against the Holy Ghost is
guilty of an unpardonable and an
eternal sin.
Coming now to the Work of the
Holy Spirit, and orniting many
things so important as to furnish’
thot for sermons in themselves, let
us notice that, —
