Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come on you: and you shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem… Faith that is lived is what gives efficacy to faith professed. Rev. Dr. Deems is accustomed to relate some feeling incident before the first hymn in church, on Sunday morning. Recently he told this: "A Christian man one day said to a friend, 'Under whose preaching were you converted?' 'Nobody's,' was the answer; 'it was under my aunt's 'practising.'" He then made an earnest appeal to aunts to examine their characters and lives, to see if these contained converting power.
