        healthy enthusiasm. Let God work, and let the human agent walk
      
      
        softly before Him, watching, waiting, praying, looking unto Jesus
      
      
        every moment, led and controlled by the precious Spirit, which is light
      
      
        and life.—

        We must go to the people with the solid Word of God, and when
      
      
        they receive that Word, the Holy Spirit may come, but it always comes,
      
      
        as I have stated before, in a way that commends itself to the judgment
      
      
        of the people. In our speaking, our singing, and in all our spiritual
      
      
        exercises, we are to reveal that calmness and dignity and godly fear
      
      
        that actuates every true child of God.—

        It is through the Word—not feeling, not excitement—that we want
      
      
        to influence the people to obey the truth. On the platform of God’s
      
      
        Word we can stand with safety.—
