arcation, and making real our spiritual oneness. The teaching of
consecration and cleanliness of heart and life is removing those
obstacles that have restrained and drowned the Spirit's still small
voice. The fuller's soap and the refiner's fire have been largely
resorted to, with the best results. And as believers have become more
consistent and devoted, they have grown increasingly sensitive to the
indwelling, energy, and co-witness of the Holy Spirit.

If only this glorious movement is permitted to achieve its full
purpose, the effect will be transcendently glorious. The church will
become as pliant to the Divine Tenant as the resurrection body of our
Lord to the impulse of his divine nature. And so the Lord Jesus will
increasingly become the object of human hope, the center around which
the concentric circles of human life shall circle.

That the Lord Jesus should be thus magnified and glorified through the
ministry of the Holy Spirit, and with this end in view, that the hearts
and lives of believers should be made more sensitive to and receptive
of his blessed energy, this treatise has been prepared; and I add my
testimony to the beloved author's, that in the mouth of two witnesses,
every word may be established; and my prayer to his that the yea of the
Spirit to the great voice of the gospel may be heard more mightily and
persistently amongst us.
