A Murmuring Spirit.
Some-one has said that ''a murmuring spi.rit will dig
graves in the most fragrant of gardens.'' It is one of
the manifestations of the old man. . It forgets all past
blessings and magnifies little evils. It 1:-rings accusations
against a kind friend, who has been its benefactor, and
'lays -the blame of its own unhappy -spirit upon them. It
often anticipates evils which never happen, and has little
regard for truth or reason. It makes ":blue .. Mondays" of
every d'ay, and does . not even wear a smile Sunday.
Everything that is worth anything is in the grave of the
past, and the future is full of dismal forebodings ... It is
never so happy as when it is making others miserable, and
sees no good in anything or anybody. Who wants the
fellowship of such a spirit? We wonder where such a
person lives. Do you know? R. P.
Jollification or . liumilitation.
A VERY -little blessing sometimes brings a great
shout. How often in our meetings do we have a time of
. "Jollification" what \\fe have done;_ or what has been
accomplished on spiritual lines; .. but .. how_ seldom do we
" have a time of humilitation, on our faces in the dust, for
what we ha.ve hin_dered God doing, or for neglecting what
we should havedone. When we judge of what we have

THESE words were uttered by the Prophet Malachi
ag'ainst the priests of' his time who had ceased to . &ive-
''Glory to the Lord." They had fallen from the- purity
of their office, and had "departed out of the way" and
"caused many to stumble at the law," so the Lord said
of them, "I will curse your blessings." As it was then
with the law, so it is now with the preachers

REPENTANCE . .
W. C. WILSON.
No one can read veryfa.rin the New
Testament without being struck with
the thought that God has called and
is still calling on men to repent. The
first message of John the Baptist .was
(Matt. 3: 2) , ''Repent ye, for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand."
In. Matt. 4: 17, it is written, "From
that time Jesus began to say, Repent,
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.'' .
Paul declares in Acts 17: 30, that God
"commandeth all men everywhere to
repent."
So repentance lies at'.tlie base of all
Bible salvation. Some people think
that to repent means merely to be
sorry, but when we look into the Bible
we find there are two kipds of sorrow.
One ki'nd, the sorrow of tire world;''
worketh d<eath. Most every one at
some . time in life has known some-
thing of this sorrow. It sometimes
works death suddenly, and again it
takes people,away an inl;!h at a time.
Most all of the suicides committed are
caused by this blighting enemy- the
sorrow of the world. If the devil can-
not get enough of this kind of sorrow
on his subjects to cause them to sud-
denly take their lives, he administers
it in smaller doses, cutting furrows on
the _face, putting __ gray .. hairs on . the
head, gradually!sapping the_ life of all
that 'is good; _ bringing 'his v1ctim
as early as possible to the silent city
<;>f the dead. Bu_t there is another kind
of sorrow .that worketh repentance
unto life, really working a repentance
. that need not be repented of. Or in
other words it .brings you into a state
The fact was that in day,
and it is still so in our own, people
must repent, get forgiveness and live
right, before they can be baptized by

Ghost and fire that sanctifies wholly.

THE GREAT CONVENTION.
For many months there has beel_l so
inuch of expressed de!;ire here in
' the city .of. Los Angeles that there.
might be another meeting with Rev.
Bud Robinson as one of the workers,
that we have been on the watch for
an occasfon when it would be practi-
cable to meet this desire of the people.

In consideration of his faithful services
both as President of the Co11ege and as some-
time pastor of the Free Methodist Church of
Greenville, and
: .In consideration of the:.f.act that y;e regard:
him as a comistent Christian, a good neigh-
bor, a faithful . friend, and an eminently
satisfactory P-t.esident College;
Rather unexpectedly it has occurred.
He together with Rev. Will Huff, hav-
ing been engaged for a series of meet-
ings in the Northwest, found itpossible
to come this way on their return and
give us a teri days' meeting. After
consultation it was decided to make
the scope of ;the meeting a.s wide as .
possible, especiijlly inviting all
ness people and everybody else, and
secure Rev. I. G. Martin .to lead the
special siriging, and. enter upon a
campaign for the greatest meeting of
the years. It seemed especially
' opportune coming with the opening of
the pastorate of Brother Whitcomb,
giving special opportunity for wide
acquaintance at the VEl_ry beginning,
and to gather added force from
heaven and earth.
"Rev. Whitcomb came to Greenville-four
and a half years ago from Evanston, where
he was pastor of the Free Methodist Church
for three years. At' the last General Confer-
ence of the church he was prominently
mentioned for the office of Bishop and lacked
only a few votes of being elected. He was
second in the balloting, Bishop Hart being
re-elected. He then received a large vote
for the office of editor of the Free Methodist,
being second in the balloting for that office.
This strength came to Rev. Whitcomb with-
out his solicitation and because of the high
position he had attained in the denomination,
through his capabilities."
The Greenville College, of which
Prof. Whitcomb has betn president
for four years, feels keenly the loss
of his ability and strertgth .through
his removal to Los Angeles, and to
show their respect and esteem . for
his -past services, a splendid farewell
reception was tendered to him in. the
College parlors by the teachers and
'Students of the institution, at which
addresses were made'-by Prof. John .
