" •* Oh ! how shall man whose native sphere Is dark, whose mind is dim. Before the Ineffable appear. And on His naked Spirit bear The uncreated beam ? " But lo ! here are men and women filled with that presence, which is " as a mighty, rushing Digitized by VjOOQIC 74 wind " and " as fire," and they live! The power of God's spirit is a force which purifies without destroying; which, without annihilating our humanity, renders us Divine. There was great elevation of feeling. " They spake with othe...r tongues." I am not going to be diverted from my purpose by any attempted investigation into the nature of the " gift of tongues." I know the diflRculties. I know the differences of opinion. But all are agreed at least in this, that whatever else may be included, it shows their spirits were exalted into a state of ecstatic rapture. This " speaking with tongues " was the glow of inspiration, — the white heat of highly- wrought feeling, — the surg- ing up of the flood of "joy unspeakable and full of glory," into which their spirits were baptized.
