our unwavering Prompter and Guide. In the submission of our wills
to God and the chastening of our spirits He is the great Co-worker
with us. In the bearing of burdens and the enduring of trial and
sorrow He joins hands with us to lead us on. In the purifying of
every power from the taint of sin He is our Sanctifier.

All this is practical. It has to do with to-day--with every bit
of to-day. In fact, so far from the sphere of the Holy Spirit
being limited to the pulpit or the platform, or to the inward
experiences of the religious life, He is just as truly and
properly concerned with the affairs of the shop and the street,
the nursery and the kitchen, the chamber of suffering and the
home of penury, as with preaching the Gospel or healing the sick.

Now it is to lead its readers to a personal experience of all
this that this book has been written. No mere intellectual assent
to the truth it sets forth can satisfy its author, any more than
it can benefit his readers. What he seeks, and what I join him in
devoutly asking of God, is that you, dear friend, who may take
this little volume into your hands, may see what an infinite
privilege is yours, and may begin to act with God the Holy Ghost,
and to open your whole being to Him, that He may work with you.
