This essay originated in discussions, in Newfoundland, with brethren and sisters who, while anxious to resist the escesses of modern Pentecostalism, nevertheless desired to do full justice to the teaching of the Scirptures on the Holy Spirit today.

It is impossible to approach the subject without realising how close its very consideration brings us to the presence of Him tha is holy. It is now my hope and prayer that the essay may help towards an enlarged understanding of this exalted theme, and that what the mind has grasped the heart may take hold of.
