(2) No, the next beautiful work of the HOLY GHOST is that He takes CHRIST and shows Him to us. I paid a touching visit the other day to an old clergyman who, some people would have said, was past his work. He was ill and in lonely lodgings, and I went to see him. The old clergyman gave me a great lesson. Instead of complaining, of saying that he had been a failure, had been neglected and passed over, he said: "I hope I shall live a few years longer, Bishop, to preach the glorious Gospel." There he was, lonely, ill, passed over by the world, yet feeling the great joy of simply preaching the glorious Gospel. We are apt to get mechanical about our religion. Even in the lovely service here at Marlborough, we are sometimes--very often, perhaps--wandering in thought, and inclined to become mechanical in our religion. The HOLY GHOST makes it living. He takes of CHRIST, shows Him to us, and makes the whole thing real. Therefore, our second prayer should be that the HOLY GHOST will make religion a reality to us, make us understand the glory of the Incarnation, that GOD actually came to earth in mortal form, for our sakes. (3) Thirdly, the HOLY GHOST is the Comforter. He comforts us and helps us to comfort other people. I remember, when I was at Marlborough last year, that I had several boys in to see me, one of them a little fellow who had lost his father in Gallipoli; and I tried to comfort him. The HOLY GHOST is the only Comforter. When one goes to a mother, as I have done, who has lost, perhaps, three sons (and in this connection we at Marlborough shall always think of the father and mother of those three splendid sons, the Woodroffes), one is at a loss to say anything; one cannot comfort them oneself, but has to depend upon the higher power; and my experience is that the HOLY GHOST brings the Balm of Gilead, which no earthly agency can produce, a heavenly balm of comfort for the mourners which enables us to go out and comfort others. There is no comforter better than the younger boy of a family, who, filled with the HOLY GHOST, goes home in the holidays to comfort his father and mother in the loss of an older son. (4) But, of course, the old words "comfort" and "comforter," as applied to the HOLY GHOST, meant far more than we call "comfort." "Comfort" in the case of the HOLY GHOST, means far more than sympathy; it means fortitude, courage, inspiration. The comfort of the Comforter always strengthens; mere sympathy sometimes weakens. We have got to bring home the bright view of death, to produce a pride that "my boy, my brother, my husband, should have died." I believe that we have not anything like a bright enough view of death.
