And secondly, there is a need, subsequent to this conscious realization of Divine favour in the forgiveness of sins, and added to it, of the reception of the Holy Spirit in His fullness, purifying their hearts by faith, perfecting them in love, overcoming the world, and bestowing a Divine, inward power over all sin, both inward and outward, and giving boldness to bear witness and qualifying for real religious service in the Church and in the world. There is a fearfully prevailing agnosticism along here in the Church just at this time. We greatly fear that a vast majority of our Church members are now in this school of spiritual agnosticism, and really deem it to be a virtue to be there. God’s word gives no encouragement whatever to a shadowy religion and a vague religious experience. It calls us definitely into the realm of knowledge. It crowns religion with the crown of “I know.” It passes us from the darkness of sin, doubt and inward misgiving into the marvelous light, where we see clearly and know fully our personal relations to God. “The things unknown to feeble sense, Unseen by reason’s glimmering ray, With strong, commanding confidence, Their heavenly origin display.” Two things may be said just here in concluding this part of our study upon this subject: First, this sort of Bible religion, hereinbefore described, comes directly through the office of the Holy Spirit dealing personally with each soul; and secondly, the Holy Spirit in all of His offices pertaining to spiritual life and religious experience is secured by earnest, definite, prevailing prayer. _Printed in the United States of America_ EVANGELISTIC WORK _NEWELL DWIGHT HILLIS, D.D._ The Great Refusal And Other Evangelistic Sermons. . . . $1.50.
