Washington d. c., Nov. II, 1901
70 THE EDITOR OF THE GLOBE:
DEAR SIR: All who read The Globe
must acknowledge your talent, cour-
age and ability as a newspaper writer,
they must also recognize the fact that
The Globe has done a world of good
in exposing wrong doings and mean
ness in the various Government De
partments. and the city generally No
clerk or Government employe pretends
to dispute this.
The way in which you handle mean
and corrupt officials in high places
shows that you are not pigeOn-livered.
l vii venture to say that no man who
has read The Globe every Sunday as
have done for the pastf six months
will undertake to tweak you by the
nose or give you the lie in your face
The Globe has to my personal knowl-
edge toned down those petty tyrani-
cal chiefs and their pets in the De-
partment I'm which I am employed. It
is a very different office from what it
was before The Globe came out.
hear clerks i'm other Departments say
the same thing The pet female clerks
are not near so clipper as they use
to be before The Globe began to show
them up These pet female clerks are
much more quiet and do a little more
work now. God bless and prosper The
Globe and its editor. I trust you may
continue to turn on the light. While
you have done much there is much
more for you to do.
was delighted to see a sermon in
The Globe written by our dear sister
| in Christ Mrs Phoebe Hall Lutterell,
she is a pure, good. noble woman; but,
dear sir, it grieved me to the hearts
core to see how thoughtless and flip
pant you are in your expression re-
garding the Christian religion and the
holiness church. The Holiness Church
does not, as you seem to think, preach,
teach or believe that a converted man
or woman who becomes sanctified, /. e.,
who receives the Holy Spirit in their
hearts, and allows original inherited
or inbread sin to be taken out of the
heart cannot commit any more sin.
But the Holiness Church does teach,
preach and believe that one who is
truly converted to God and afterward
receives the gift Of the Holy Ghost,
may live sinless lives. OF course, If
he chooses to sin, he is a free moral
agent he can do so, but to argue that
one cannot live without sin is con-
trary to the Bible and all reason. "Be
ye holly even as I am holly" with
out holiness you shall not see the
Lord" etc. could cite hundreds of
passages from the Bible showing that
we are commanded to live pure and
holy lives, without sin. Oh, II the
editor Of The Globe, with his talent,
fearlessness and courage was a truly
converted man, what power he
would be for good in this land. Give
your heart to Jesus, my brother. I
have ben praying for the editor of
The Globe even since I saw the first
number Of that paper and will con-
tinue to do So God in his own good
time will remove the scales from your
eyes.
The Globe fills a long-felt want in
this city. l have on one or two oc-
casons asked the other old Moss
Backed papers, Star, Post Times, to
publish some criticisms on the tyran-
nical conduct of the chief and his male
and female pets in the divislonin which
I am employed, the answer would be
"Oh, no, we can't make any attack" or
"Itwould not be policy for us to publish
your grievances. or Eyes, IL you will
pay for the article and put your full
name to 1t and the division in which
YOU are employed. we will publish %
nowning full well that If one wanted
10 retain his or her position they dare
not so such a thing, for If one did,
civil service or no civil service, they
would soon have to walk the plank.
Thank God we have a paper now
the most humble Government employe
can state his grievances, and If, after
inquiry they are found to be true, can
have them published without money
and without price Mr.. Editor, do
not think YOU yourself do know the
good The Sunday Morning Globe has
done and is doing. Again ! say God
bless The Globe and its editor
