ItiBof tlio holy Hplrlt uon tlio waltlnB
bellovera at Pentecost wan mentioned
by Joel tlio Prophet, but ho doea not
any that nil of thu prophecy wax fill
tilled there and then. An a matter of
fact wo know that thu holy Hplrlt waa
not then poured out on nil tleah; It
waa poured out merely upon Uod'a
avrvnuta and band-mnldena. A care
ful luapectlou allow tin that Micro are
two parta to thu prophecy (1) All tlcah,
and ('.'i Uod'a Murrains and hand-maid
una. Tlio order of the blvasliiR la ulao
tated. It will come uKn nil tleah
after thewe dnya, but upon the aervnnta
and baud-maldcna in tboae dnya. The
dnya mentioned evidently refer to this
Gospel ago from i'eutecoat to the sec
ond comliiK of Christ.
In thin period, of now nenrly nine
teen ccuturlci, Cod'a holy Spirit Iiiih
been Rrnuted to hla faithful one, and
to theao alone. Only the fully couae
crnted havo been accepted of ttio Lord
aa IIvIur aacrlllcea, and only audi havo
been bcBottcu of thu holy Spirit, that
they may bo "now crcnturea In Chrlat."
DurltiB nil this time, tlio world liaa
been unrecognized ho far na tlio holy
Spirit la coucernud. iudee), thu Apoa
tie nftor i'eutecoat went nt lit further
and declnred that "tlio whole world
llelh In the Wlclccd Ono." Thu only
action of the holy Spirit muat be, na
In thu cnau of Felix, to "reprove
the world of alii nnd rlchteouHtiuaa, and
of it comliiK Judgment." Our tuxt de
clarea, however, that the time la com
Iiib when (ho world will receive a
aharo of tlio Rrcat Dlvlno bleasltiK,
which waa fully aaaured by the death
of Chrlat. Hut ita time of favor will

It la not Hulllclent that wo any that n

followers of Jeaua in tho upper room
at Jerusalem, totally different from
anythliiK that had been known In tho
world before! Wo want to know why

OBnlzu the fact that they wero Brand
characters, and, iih St. Paul said,
"Thoy had this testimony that they
Iileaspd God." Yet thoro was no Pen
tecostal outpotirltiB lu tholr day, nor
until tho a ko of man In tho world wna
more than four thousand years. Why
was this? Wo answer that God bns
Ida own times and seasons for tho va
rious features of his work.
Wo recall tho wordi of our Lord Je
bus, roBpcetliiB Ids forerunner, "Verily
I any unto you, Aiiiouk them that are
born of women thuro hath not risen a
greater than John tho llaptlst; not
withstanding ho that Is least In tho
Kingdom of heaven la greater than he"
(Matthew xl, 11). Why could not John,
and othora of the prophets preceding
him, enter In and onjoy this Gospel fa
vor? Wo answer, In tho laiiKUiiBO of
Bt. Paul, "God having provided some
bettor thing for us, that they without
US should not bo inmlo perfect" (He
brows xl, 40). Our Creator has Rreat
gifts to dispense to our race through
tho Redeemer, and it is for him to de
termine tho times and tho seasons for
tlio dispensing of these blessings, and
to whom they sluill go, According to the

The Master lu speaking to St. Peter
assured him that to him wero commit
ted tho Keys of tho Kingdom of Ucnv
en. which algnllled that tho wny Into
tho Kingdom nt that tlmo hnd not yet
been opened, nnd thnt Peter would bo
honored by beliiB tho Lord's scrvnnt
to do tho opening work. There wero
two of theae "keys," and therefore
there were two opening works to bo
accomplished.
The Church, under Christ her Lord,
Is Cod's kingdom, not yet act up or es
tabllahcd "In power nnd grent glory"
not yet llulshed or Inaugurated. Tho
work of this Oospol Ago is to "call"
or Invito such us have a hearing enr to
become Joint-heirs In this Kingdom,
for which ho taught us to pray, "Thy
kingdom come, thy will bo done on
earth aa It Is done lu heaven." So
many as genuinely accept this heav
enly calling, this "high calling" to glo
ry, honor, and immortality, are proba
tionary members of tho Kingdom or
Heaven. Such aro Scrlpturally ex
horted to contluuo faithful to their
vows of consecration, and thus make
their calling and election sure to a
place in this glorious Kingdom, which
will bo Inaugurated at the second com
ing of Christ, llut tho Lord Instructs
all saying, "Sit down ilrst mid count
tho cost" (Luke xlv, U8i; "but if any
man draw buck, my soul shall have no
pleasure lu him" (Ilebruws x, !IS.
All who are thus splrlt-bcgottcn (by
tho holy Spirit, John I, llli during this
ugo aro promised n spirit birth, to
splrlt-being In tho resurrection. Wo
read, "It Is sown In corruption; It Is
raised in Incorrupt Ien: It is sown In
dishonor; It Is raised In glory; It Is
sown in weakness; It Is raised In pow pew
er: It Is sown an animal body; It Is
raised u spiritual body, , , , For this
I say, brethren, that tlesh and blood
cannot Inherit the Kingdom of Uod;
neither doth corruption Inherit lucor

There is a Wonderful
Difference
between the light afforded by an ordinary carbon
incandescent and the brilliancy of our new Gen
eral Electric MAZDA lamp. The latter radiates
two and one-half times as much light with the
same amount of electric current.
A 40-Watt MAZDA Affords Twice the Light
of the 50-watt carbon lamp now in general use
and costs one-fifth less to burn. We recommend
its use to our customers as it more than cuts their
light bills in two, making electric light so inexpen
sive that no home, however humble, and no store,
however small, can afford to be without it.
Ask us to show you the new General
Electric MAZDA lamps and clusters.
