At first, full of soft light, gentle and alluring, they brighten up to blaze upon you lustrously, and fascinate the gazer's dazzled glance: there are depths in them that tell of the unfathomable soul, heights in them that speak of the spirit's aspirations.
Speaking about the coming Spirit, He says, "Whom the world cannot receive." That is a strange statement. Though an important part of the Spirit's great mission is to the world yet it cannot receive Him. That is to say, a message from God to one who has come within the circle of personal relation with Jesus that message comes along a straight line without break or crook.
Foggier yet, and colder! Piercing, searching, biting cold. If the good St. Dunstan had but nipped the Evil Spirit's nose with a touch of such weather as that, instead of using his familiar weapons, then indeed he would have roared to lusty purpose.
I swear it by the head of that sweet one Who for the sake of Ali was accused. The cup of passion which I offered her O'ercame her lovely spirit's tenderness. The cup of love intoxicated her. O God, Creator of us all, give her The strength to bear my absence! Sad for me The hour I dream of her I love so well. Her love is in my heart and burns it up. My heart is sad. 'Tis love that crushes it.
"Forgive me if I am not justified in what I ask," said Scrooge, looking intently at the Spirit's robe, "but I see something strange, and not belonging to yourself, protruding from your skirts. Is it a foot or a claw?" "It might be a claw, for the flesh there is upon it," was the Spirit's sorrowful reply. "Look here."
Pelle led them with his clear young voice; and it was he who best knew the words by heart. "Fair, fair is earth, And glorious Heaven; Fair is the spirit's journey long; Through all the lovely earthly kingdoms, Go we to Paradise with song." The "Great Power" sang with increasing strength, as though he would outsing Pelle. One of his feet was moving now, beating the time of the song.

But once again, if we be true men, the moment comes, "When the spirit's true endowments Stand out plainly from its false ones," when the sacred, saving faith in righteousness returns, and we know that Christ was right, that for ever and for ever it is true that better than to be rich, or to be clever, or to be famous, is it to be true, to be pure, to be good. Is this what we are doing?

For Jesus' sake; aye for men's sake, too. Why the Results are Delayed <u>God's Pathway to Human Hearts.</u> God touches men through men. The Spirit's path to a human heart is through another human heart. With reverence be it said, yet with blunt plainness that in His plan for winning men to their true allegiance God is limited by the human limitations.
