The Promise of the Father

It will be generally admitted that the need of the promise of the Father is at this time very great in the churches and in the land. The spiritual life is low. Conversions are fewer than they have been. The world crowds in upon the church. Skepticism is in the air. But the promise persists. The cloud overhangs, God waits to be gracious. Let the people of God be faithful. Look back upon the conditions of the divine answer to prayer in the apostolic church, Reproduce them. Let them be reproduced in any particular congregation, and a great work will be done there. Let them be reproduced in the church everywhere through this broad land, and a marvelous Pentecost will come as with a rushing mighty wind.—Presbyterian Journal.
