Does anybody have that famous quote by Parley P. Pratt about the Holy Ghost
and the effect on someone who has the Holy Ghost?
The gift of the Holy Ghost adapts itself to all these organs or attributes.
It 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, 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. In the
presence of such persons, one feels to enjoy the light of their countenances, as
the genial rays of a sunbeam. Their very atmosphere diffuses a thrill, a warm
glow of pure gladness and sympathy, to the heart and nerves of others who
have kindred feelings, or sympathy of spirit.
Parley P. Pratt,
Key to the Science of Theology, p. 101
