Divine love was wonderfully manifest in the meetings [Azusa Street Revival]. The people would not even allow an unkind word said against their opposers or the churches. The message was the love of God. It was a sort of "first love" (Revelation 2:4) of the early church returned. The baptism of the Holy Spirit, as we received it in the beginning, did not allow us to think, speak, or hear evil of any man. The Spirit was very sensitive, tender as a dove... We knew the moment we had grieved the Spirit by an unkind thought or word. We seemed to live in a sea of pure divine love.
