of
a
rushing
mighty
wind,
and
it
filled
all
the
house
where
they
were
sitting.
And
there
appeared
unto
them
cloven
tongues
like
as
of
fire,
and
it
sat
upon
each
of
them.
And
they
were
all
filled
with
the
Holy
Ghost,
and
began
to
speak
with
other
tongues,
as
the
Spirit
gave
them
utterance.”
By
the
power
of
the
Holy
Spirit
the
disciples
were
fitted
to
act
out
the
im-
pression
that
had
been
left
upon
their
minds
by
Christ's
words,—that
they
held
in
trust
the
most
sacred
truths
ever
committed
to
mortals.
The
church
was
fitted
for
the
work
of
rep
resenting
Christ.
The
messengers
of
God
spoke
as
the
Spirit
gave
them
utterance.
In
accordance
with
the
‘direction
given,
they
prayed
in
the
name
of
Jesus.
So
were
the
words
of
Christ
fulfilled,
“
Whatsoever
ye
shall
ask
in
my
name,
that
will
I
do,
that
the
Father
may
be
glorified
in
the
Son.
.
The
Comforter,
which
is
the
Holy
Ghost,
whom
the
Father
‘will
send
in
my
naine,
he
shall
teach
‘you
all
things,
and
bring
all
things
to
“your
remembrance,
whatsoever
I
have
said
unto
you.
Peace
I
leave
with
you,
my
peace
I
give
unto
you:
not
as
the
world
giveth,
give
I
unto
you.
‘Let
not
your
heart
be
troubled,
neither
let
it
be
afraid.”
Shortly
before
his
ascension,
Christ
had
prayed,
“
For
their
sakes
I
sanc-
tify
myself.”
He
had
given
himself
“wholly
to
the
work
of
human
re-
‘demption.
Charged
with
this
exalted
office,
Christ
stood
as
the
head
of
humanity,
the
visible
representative
of
an
invisible
God.
#
Ie
that
hath
seen
me,
he
declared,
‘‘hath
seen
the
Father;”
and
again
“I
and
my
‘Father
are
one.”
And
having
em-
“bodied
in
himself
the
love
of
God,
“Christ
has
imparted
it
to
those
who
believe
on
his
name,
that
the
‘copies
of
his
character
may
be
multi-
plied.

“As
thou
hast
sent
me
into
the
‘world,
even
so
I
have
also
sent

into
the

”»
And
for
their
sakes
I
sanctify
my-
self
;
that
they
also
might
be
sanctified

the
truth.”
To
us
as
well
as
to
the
disciples,
Christ
has
given
the
work
of
carrying
the
truth
to
the
world.
But
befor
engaging
in
this
great
and
aggressive
warfare,
upon
which
eternal
results
de-
pend,
Christ
invites
all
to
count
the
cost.
He
assures
them
that
if
they
take
hold
of
the
work
with
undivided
hearts,
giving
themselves
as
light-bear-
ers
to
the
world,
if
they
will
take
hold
of
his
strength,
they
will
make
peace
with
him
and
obtain
supernatural
as-
sistance
that
will
enable
them
in
their
weakness
to
do
the
deeds
of
Omnipo-
tence.
If
they
go
forward
with
faith
in
God,
they
will
not
fail
nor
become
discouraged,
but
will
have
the
assur-
ance
of
infallible
success.
The
hour
came
for
the
lifting
up
of
the
Son
of
God
on
the
cross,
and
the
hour
has
now
come
for
him
to
be
lifted
up
from

earth.
Impelled
and
stimulated
by
the
love
of
Christ,
‘as

out
for
them,
they
will
con-
quer
through

By

they
may
behold

in
their
ranks;
for
the
abundant

of

ready

them

He
leads
them
on
from
victory
to
victory,

“I

MISSIONARY
DEPARTMENT
OUR
MESSAGE
FOR
TO-DAY.
It
must
be
very
evident
to
all
who
have
read
the
new
tracts
just
issued
that
our
message
for
to-day
is
very
fully
included
in
the
subjects
consid-
ered:
Now
with
the
price
of
the
tracts
at
such
a
reasonable
figure,
what
possible
excuse
can
we
make
for
not
warning
our
neighbors
and
friends
?
It
seems
that
everything
is
pre-
pared
for
us
to
a
marked
degree,
and
we
are
glad
toreportthat
our
churches
where
the
matter
has
been
presented
have
responded
quickly.
At
Cliff
Island
four
thousand
tracts
were
taken;
the
Portland
church
took
one
thou
sand
five
hundred
of
the
first
number;
and
Falmouth
took
eight
hundred.
One
member
of
the
Deering
church
after
reading
the
first
tract,
said,
“Twenty-five
dollars
of
my
money
shall
go
into
the
circulation
of
this
tract.”
The
old-time
enthusiasm
seems
to
be
awakened
by
reading
the
first
tract.
If
there
are
any
who
have
not
yet
seen
a
copy,
send
to
the
tract
society
at
once
for
a
sample,
and
we
feel
that
this
will
be
all
that
will
be
needed
to
bring
an
order
for
a
quantity.
Sev-
enty-two
cents
per
hundred
certainly,
for
a
sixteen-page
tract,
is
very
rea-
sonable.
If
there
are
any
whose
enthusiasm
in
the
tract
work
has
died
out,
just
get
these
tracts
and
read
them,
and
I
be-
lieve
it
will
be
the
means
of
your
don-
ning
the
armor
and
going
quickly
to
work.
For
the
envelope
work
they
are
just
the
thing.
May
we
arouse
to
our
opportunity
in
the
good
old
State
of
Maine
this
winter
and
spring;
-and
sound
the
message
far
and
near
that
“Jesus
is
coming.”
There
is
no
time
to
lose
in
the
work
of
preparation,
P.
