Helps to Holiness by Samuel Logan Brengle and published by Classics Publications.
Do you want to know what holiness is? It is pure love. Do you want to know what the baptism of the Holy Ghost is? It is not a mere sentiment. It is not a happy sensation that passes away in a night. It is a baptism of love that brings every thought into captivity to the Lord Jesus (2 Cor. x. 5); that casts out all fear (1 John iv. 18); that burns up doubt, and unbelief as fire burns tow; that makes one “meek and lowly in heart” (Matt. xi. 29); that makes one hate uncleanness, lying and deceit, a flattering tongue and every evil way with a perfect hatred; that makes Heaven, and Hell eternal realities; that makes one patient, and gentle with the froward, and sinful; that makes one “pure… peaceable… easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy” (Jas. iii. 17); that brings one into perfect and unbroken sympathy with the Lord Jesus Christ in His toil, and travail to bring a lost, and rebel world back to God.
