“Go,” says He, “baptize all nations in the Name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” S. Matt. xxviii. 19. Has He changed either a word or a

Spirit? Certainly not. But He says, in the Name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. The expression is

which is inferred not any office of the Holy Spirit, but rather a
sharing of honour or of working when we say “in the
Spirit.”
