4. Seek to make other partakers of your prospects.—Say to all you meet with, Will you go with us? We are traveling eastward to the land of the morning; for we are children of the morning: will you not cast in your lot with us? Pity a dark world, and its dark children, that have no hope and no morning before them. Point out the morning-star to them; bid them look at it; tell them what its anticipated brightness has done for your. Win souls to Christ. Draw many into the kingdom by your words and by your walk. There is little time to lose; for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
XVII. The Fullness Of The Holy Ghost
"These things saith He that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars."—
Revelation 3:1.
"There were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God."—
Revelation 4:5.
"And behold, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth."— Revelation 5: 6.

It was in the power of this loving Spirit that He wrought His miracles of grace and spoke His words of grace. It was 'through the eternal Spirit that He offered Himself without spot to God' (Hebrews 9:14) for us. And this 'anointing' or 'unction' presents Him to us under that character by which He was all along symbolized in the Old Testament,—'the holy anointing oil.' In this Book of Revelation it is as a lamp or 'lamps of fire' that He is made known to us: not the oil, but the lamp itself. He is both: He feeds the light in us, and He is Himself the light. Here we are (though not directly) taught much about this Spirit, as the Spirit of light, and love, and holiness; His
