unconsciously) resting in feelings, not
in faith. Remember that the true or
der of the Christian life is-frst,
Gods facts about Christ as Il per-
sonal Saviour; second, our faith in
Christ; and then, and only then,
thirdly, u feelings or experience as
the result of our faith in God. Now,
if we this order we get into
spiritual difficulty and depression. 1t
is sometimes said that for one look at
self we should take ten looks at
Christ. I would rather say that we
should not look at self at all, but be
ever occupied with Christ. Rest alb
solutely in Gods Word, and keep in
that attitude of trust, whether you
have any delightful feelings or not.
If, as you say, there is nothing of sin
between you and God, just rest abso-
lutely upon His Word; and as you
cling by simple faith to His sure
promises, abiding peace will surely
come. Joy and peace in believing"

2. You supplement His love. Jesus
was the perfect lover, because He
showed no favoritism. He went
among publicans, sinners, lepers n
beggars without sighting the rich
and prominent. He despaired OF
neither the drone nor the drudge. He
really meant it when He said, Every
one is My brother and sister, My faith
er and mother" He isn't here now
to tell them He will bear their griefs
and carry their sorrows. You are.
3. You supplement His salvation.
You are the ambassador of good news,
the missing link between the sinner
m the Saviour. The divine message
must be interpreted by the human
voice. You have that voice. 1t needs
no training in %elocution to repeat to a
dying soul Christ's promises.

Christ's sympathy for others by our

Editor News:
Since your paper appeared on the

many people have inquired what my
trouble is and have offered words of
sympathy and encouragement. Many
suggestions have been made.
Most people think because l cannot
speaw l cannot hear. Eoch one per-
sists in writing what he has to say
to me and if he speaks at all, doesnot
speak natural at all, but like he
thought must understand by the work
of the lips. My hearing is as good as
ever.
To add to the mystery of the disap-
puearance of the speech there is no
pain. l do not suffer any way what
ever. Wednesday night by tongue
seemed to be larger than usual. Some
one has suggested that it was all a
case of imagination. It may be, but l
am not that far along in science to be-
lieve that imagination will keep a epr-
son from doing a thing when they
want to unless there's a reason why
they should not do it,

OPENING TODAY

The opening exercises of South Mis-
sissippi College were held this morn
ing from 10 to II o'clock, with a num-
Der of visitors present, and prelim-
mary enrolment of about $50 stud
ents.
The program for these exercises
was informal, consisting of the official
announcement by President Thames
that the years work had begun, fol-
lowed by song and an invocation by
Prof. Youngs. President Thames then
introduced to the student body the new
members of the faculty, of whom Prof.
Griffis, Prof. Young, Prof. Dobbins,
Prof. jenkins, and Prof. Melvin re-
sponded with brief speech. A help
full and inspiring talk by Rev. E. j.
Currie closed the exercises.
An enrolment thus large the first
day of school assures an attendance
equally as large as that of last year,
with good prospects for an appreciable
increase.
