THE CHANGING POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST

THE CHANGING POWER
OF THE HOLY GHOST
by Parley P. Pratt

The gift of the Holy Ghost quickens all the intellectual
faculties,
increases, enlarges, expands,
and purifies all the natural
passions and affections,
and adapts them,
by the gift of wisdom,
to their lawful use.
it inspires, develops,
cultivates, and matures all the
fine-toned sympathies, joys,
tastes, kindred feelings, and
affections of our nature.
It inspires virtue, kindness,
goodness, tenderness,
gentleness and charity.
It develops beauty of person,
form and features.
It tends to health, vigor, and
animation, and social feeling.
it invigorates all the
faculties of the physical
and intellectual man.
It strengthens and gives
tone to the nerves.
In short, it is, as it were,
marrow to the bone,
joy to the heart,
light to the eyes,
music to the ears,
and life to the whole being.
