nce to
wait and to know that He works in me. Teach me what it is to have no
confidence in the flesh, and to serve Thee in the Spirit. Teach me what
it is in all things to be led by Thy Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Thy
Holiness.

And grant, gracious Father, that through Him I may hear Thee speak and
reveal Thyself to me in power: I AM HOLY. May He glorify to me and in
me, Jesus, in whom Thy command 'BE HOLY' hath been so blessedly
fulfilled on my behalf. And let the Holy Spirit give me the anointing
and the sealing which bring the perfect assurance that in Him Thy
promise is being gloriously fulfilled, 'I MAKE YOU HOLY.' Amen.

1. It it universally admitted that the Holy Spirit has not, in
the teaching of the Church or the faith of believers, that
place of honour and power, which becomes Him as the Revealer of
the Father and the Son. Seek a deep conviction that without the
Holy Spirit the clearest teaching on holiness, the most fervent
desires, the most blessed experiences even, will only be
temporary, will produce no permanent result, will bring no
abiding rest.

2. The Holy Spirit dwells within, and works within, in the hidden
deep of your nature. Seek above everything the clear and
habitual assurance that He is within you, doing His work.

3. To this end, deny self and its work in serving God. Your own
power to think and pray and believe and strive--lay it all down
expressly and distinctly in God's presence; claim, accept, and
believe in the hidden workings of the indwelling Spirit.

4. As the Son ever spake of the Father, so the Spirit ever points
to Christ. The soul that yields itself to the Spirit will of
Him learn to know how Christ is our holiness, how we can always
abide in Christ our Sanctification. What a vain effort it has
often been without the Spirit! '_As the anointing taught you_,
ye abide in Him.'

5. In the temple of thine heart, beloved believer, there is a
secret place, within the veil, where dwells, often all unknown,
the Spirit of God. Do bow in deep reverence before the Father,
and ask that He may work mightily. Expect the Spirit to do His
work: He will make Thy inner man a fit home, Thy heart a
throne, for Jesus, and reveal Him there.

[7] I cannot say how deeply I feel that one of the great wants of
believers is that they do not _know_ the Holy Spirit, who
