The Pillar of Cloud

By Albert Carey

ALBERT CAREY
MANY will readily recall the soul-stirring message that came to this people a few years ago in the words, “Receive ye the Holy Ghost.” They will remember, also, the beautiful song that was sung in connection with that message, entitled, “The Pillar of Cloud Is Rising.” And as we sang the chorus, “Behold what a glorious sight!” how mightily our hearts were stirred.
Some may have wondered what all this meant; but if our eyes are anointed, we can see this cloudy pillar leading out into “the most needy fields,” hurrying on the people of God to gather out the remnant that shall be saved of every nation. The Holy Spirit is directing this vast world-missions movement, and those who are not following in this movement will soon be left so far behind that they can never again catch up. To be led by the Holy Ghost to-day, means to be led into active service for God. Right where you are, begin at once; then give and go, and go and give, till every soul on earth has had his chance to accept, and every honest one is garnered in.
To “follow” the Holy Spirit means to advance to the work; to stand still means to reject the Spirit’s leading. Our great Captain is passing on before the hosts of God, and those who are “on the march” see his mighty workings all along the line. Let us awake, trim our lamps, and see that oil is found in our vessels.
