It is the Comforter that can make us believe that. It is the Comforter that can breathe fortitude into the splendid mothers and wives of England, and to the lads in the trenches, up to their knees in mud, facing danger every moment, that can bring fortitude to the nation; and it is the task of the Church to breathe fortitude to the nation to go on until the end. (5) The HOLY GHOST has two more beautiful things to do for us, and is always ready to do them. The first of these is to guide us. The other day I heard the hurrying footsteps of a layman coming after me in the street as I was walking to a meeting. The layman, who told me that he was a churchwarden of one of the churches in the Diocese of London, and had never spoken to his Bishop before, asked for a message to give in an address. I gave him the same message I had given to a young Bishop some months before[26]: "Take one day at a time, and trust the HOLY SPIRIT to see you through." This is a great truth, and one which I will pass on to you, as you leave this place to take up your work in the larger world outside. I remember having asked a rich clergyman, at the beginning of a Sunday afternoon, whether he would go down and take a very poor parish in the East of London, where there was no money and the credit of the parish was very much shaken. He did not at first seem inclined to go, and, thinking nothing more about it at the time, I went into St. Paul's Cathedral, and preached upon the text, "Led by the SPIRIT of GOD." In the evening I received a pencilled note from the clergyman, stating that he had been in the Cathedral, that he was led by the SPIRIT of GOD to go to the parish. He went, and splendid work he did there. There is not one of you who need be left to your own guidance; the SPIRIT of GOD will lead every one, and guide you all your lives. [26] Mentioned on p. 189. (6) The sixth thing which the HOLY SPIRIT does for you is to pray _in you_. It is not very easy to pray. I expect many of you get a bit disheartened about your prayers; you kneel when "Preces" are called in dormitory, and get up feeling cold and dead, and that it is sometimes rather a matter of form. Prayer does not depend upon feeling; we ought to pray in the belief that the HOLY GHOST will pray in us, and in that way GOD calls to GOD, the deep calls to the deep, and the smallest boy in the School is able to share the supreme energy of GOD.
