Read the Introduction by Rev. Robert Maguire, D. D.

Lord Chief Secretary

"The Divine Teacher is the Holy Spirit. Being co-equal with the Father, the Spirit knows the mysteries of God’s mind, and is the only Teacher of supernatural truth. The great work of the chief Minister is, to take of the things of God, and to show them unto us; to teach, and instruct, and lead us into all truth; to suggest what petitions we should offer; to put life into the dead, to give sight unto the blind, and to sanctify and bless the people of God. It is for man to take heed that nothing shall enter the soul without the express permission of this high ruling power, lest he should thereby grieve the Holy Spirit of God, the chief Teacher of Mansoul."[2]
