r the Holy
Ghost was given," or "whether there be any Holy Ghost." The object of this
little work is to call their attention to their Birthright, to the fact
that the Fullness of the Spirit is the Birthright of every believer. God
wants us to be living _this_ side Pentecost, not the _other_ side.

The substance of the following pages has been occasionally delivered as a
series of afternoon Bible Readings in connection with my Mission Services.
The frequent request that those who heard them might have them in a more
permanent form, coupled with the hope that the great blessing that has most
graciously been vouchsafed to them when spoken, might not be withheld from
them when being read, has induced me to commit them to writing.

I gratefully acknowledge help received from many sources, both in preparing
the Bible Readings, and in preparing them for publication; especially do I
owe a debt of gratitude to my beloved "fellow-worker in Christ Jesus," who
has now for many years been "a succorer of many, and of myself also," the
Rev. H. B. Macartney, M. A., Incumbent of St. Mary's, Caulfield. He has
most kindly revised my MS., penned an introduction, and encouraged me to
publish.

In "much fear and trembling," because of its inadequateness, but with
earnest and unceasing prayer to Him who has been pleased before to-day to
"choose the weak things of the world to confound the things which are
mighty"--with the prayer that He would graciously do so again, I send this
little messenger forth on its mission, trusting that the reading of it may
be as great a blessing to every reader as the writing of it has been to the
writer.
