The word encouragement is perhaps even more full Of suggestiveness. It is closely allied to the word in the New Testament which is used Of the Holy Spirit, the word Paraclete. All the spacious value Of the word Paraclete, as used Of the Holy Spirit, is contained in the word encour agement when used in reference to the Scriptures Of truth. It suggests appeal and advocacy. The things written aforetime make their per petual appeal to men as they advocate the true principle Of life in the midst Of con?ict.
