“There has been a fresh effusion of the Spirit.”

To be so endued with His presence, and imbued with His Spirit that men shall see Him when they behold us.

There has followed inevitably a fresh endeavor in the work of evangelizing the world.

Not simply the righteousness of our Saviour.

Every Christian is not only a Christ bearer, but a Christ wearer.

It is the skeleton of truth, to be clothed and rounded out by the living graces of a holy life.

It is only the lean creature whose bones become offensive.

The Lord Himself is our vesture.

But there is nothing you can do until you pray.

To overpower and subdue and lead captive these wayward .

We are so to enter into Him by communion.

Doctrine is the frame-work of life.

Not simply the beauty of His holiness or the graces of His character, are we to put on as a garment.

The Holy Spirit, not the pope, is the vicar of Christ on earth.

As they see our garments when they look upon our bodies.

So it is the great end of Christian living to transmute the light of truth into the fruits of holy living.

And truant affections of the natural heart – this is what is needed.
