whole heart to live for his fellow-men !<br />

What a<br />

difference to his own life, as he yielded himself<br />

to God's saving love in its striving for souls<br />

What a difference to all our Christian agencies,<br />

suffering for want of devoted, whole-hearted<br />

helpers ! What a difference to our churches, as<br />

they rose to know what they have been gathered<br />

for ! What a difference to thousands of lost ones,<br />

who would learn with wonder what love there is<br />

in God's children, what power and blessing in<br />

that love !<br />

<strong>Let</strong>'us consider one another.<br />

1. It is the very essence, the beauty, and the glory of the salvation<br />

of Christ, that it is for all. He that truly recedes it, as the<br />

Holy Spirit gives it, receives it as a salvation for all, and feels<br />

himself impelled to communicate it to others. The baptism of fire<br />

is a baptism of redeeming love, but that not as a mere emotion,<br />

but a power at once to consider and to care for others.<br />

2. How im/ ossible to love others and give all for them in our<br />

strength ! This is one of the real gifts to be waited for in the<br />

Holiest of All, to be received in the power of the pentecostal Spirit<br />

the love of God so shed abroad in the heart, that we spontanea<br />

uoly, unceasingly, Joyfully love, because it is our very nature.
