I want you to consider THE QUESTION. In some respects it is a vital question. I shall not be playing about the outskirts of religion now, but plunging into its very centre. This question has nothing to do with the sect to which you belong, nor with the particular condition in which your mind may happen to be for the present hour- it is an enquiry which touches the heart of the man and the inmost life of his spirit. -Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed--- For, remember, the Holy Ghost is the author of all spiritual life. Life does not lie latent in natural men for themselves to stir it up, but until the Holy Ghost visits them, they are dead in trespasses and sins.
