GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Mail 1. 



distress calls to a parent; and this same Holy 

 Spirit has again and again spoken peace to my 

 soul. 



Another ofHce of the Holy Spirit is to rebuke 

 and reprove and convict. One who prays for 

 the influences of the Holy Spirit must expect to 

 have his shortcomings made plainer to him 

 than they ever were before. He must expect 

 to see sinfulness in the light that God sees it. 

 Sometimes we persist in our stubborn ways un- 

 til our neighbors and best friends are obliged to 

 remonstrate with us. These friends feel pained 

 at our course, and naturally dread the disagree- 

 able task when it umst be done. Very well; if 

 you pray that (rod's Holy Spirit may guide 

 you. it will begin, in time, to tell you of your 

 faults; in other words, the twinges of con- 

 science will come oftener and plainer when you 

 do wrong than ever before. 



I may never see you again, friends. These 

 words may be the only ones you will ever hear 

 from my lips; but I do not know any more val - 

 uable message I can give you than to tell you 

 to pray often for the guidance of the Holy Spir- 

 it, especially when you are in doubt. Then is 

 the lime to ask the God who made you, of the 

 truth of the Christian religion. If any one 

 here is ever tempted to doubt that Christ is the 

 Son of God, let him go to the Father and he 

 shall surely have an answer. Of course, I am 

 presuming that this prayer is an honest one; 

 that the one who utters it is ready and will- 

 ing to do God's will; that he is ready to give up 

 all and every thing for the truth when it shall 

 be made known to him. Do you doubt God's 

 willingness and readiness to give personal as- 

 surance to every child of humanity? Read 

 again the words I have once before quoted: 



If ye tlien, beiin? evil, know how to give grood gifts 

 unto your childieti, how much more shall your heav- 

 enly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask 

 him?— Luke 11: IS.

 fact, where it is more convenient you can order po- 

 tatoes of the A. I. Root Co., instead of sending your
