Excerpt from The Work of the Comforter: A Sermon, in Behalf of the King's College Hospital, Preached in the Chapel of the College, on Sunday, June 14, 1846 I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter. Last Sunday we fulfilled the cycle of Feasts by which the Church, year by year, bears witness to the great object of faith, the mystery of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. And now we have entered upon the long season which is a shadow of our life on earth, waiting for the advent of our Lord. The succession of festivals through which we have passed is a memorial of the measured and gradual revelation of the great mystery of the faith, from the coming of the Word made Flesh to the coming of the Holy Ghost. In this season we enter, as it were, upon the ministration of the Spirit. The Son of God, the second Person of the ever-blessed Trinity, is come and gone away into heaven, having revealed to us the Father and the Holy Ghost. The Spirit of God, the third Person, is with us now, abiding in His stead. This is the fulfilment of our Lord's most gracious promise. See how great was His divine compassion. "I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
