Hott. * * * * * , *j "Except y' roent yc shall all like vie perish." Rppehtande 1ios at the very beginnhig df the .Christian life. In fact, there caid be n0 Christian life without it. Rep 3nt, believe and be baptized. Repentance comes before saving belief, or faith. God said through his prophet, "Say unto them as I live saith the Lord 1 have no! pleasure in the death of the wicked. Turn ye, turn ye or repent ye, repent I ye, for why will ye'die." It means repentance or death. Turn from sin or die. .iFirst. What is repentance? As taught in the Bible it means a Godly sorrow for sin deep down in your heart; to feel sorry because you have sinned against a holy God and tram pled upon the blood of Ilis Son. And being so sorry for your sins that you turn away from sin and hate the things that are wrong. Genuine re pentance will show in the life after you profess it.. Peter went out and wept bitterly and his life after that was a life of consecration and sacri fice to the service of God. Judas went but and repented and hung him self. His was sorrow of the world which worketh death, while Peter's repentance was genuine. After a meeting you can always tell who were sorry for sin and had re,peited and those who had mechan ically believed for their lives will prove it either one way or the other. Second. What have I to repent of? Before the spirit of God con vict:: a sinner for his sins he usually asks the question, What have I to re pent, of? I am as good as other peo ple and a good deal better than some, you can't convict a sinner by talking to him nor by preaching to him. You may convince him, but you can't con viet him. The spirit of the Almighty God only can do that. Many, I fear, are convinced that they ought to live a better life and perhaps they may join the church and join without real relentance, but when the spirit of God convicts they repent and turn away from sin. What we need to day is the power of God's spirit upon His word convicting sinners so deep and pungently for their sins that they can't rest day nor night until they find reliev from' the burden of sin. We have all sinned and there fore all need to repent. And espec ially we urge to repent those who have not believed on the name of the only begotten Sonof God. You have Atispised, ortreated. with contempt His death on the cross, therefore the wrath of God abideth on you. "He that believeth not the Son shall not. see life but the wrath of God abida eth on him. Oh sinner, I beseech] you to fly for shelter to the out stretchedl arms of Jesus before it is too late. "Repent, repment, for wvhy w~ill ye die.'' Third. But if I repent will I be ntecepcted? The unconvictedi sinner will askd the qucestion, What hav.e I to r on oif? Butt when the suiner~ is deeply itn:d PUnagent ly convicted for sin he fel o mcean ancd vile he wvondlers it God wouldl forpi v him if he 51hould( rep~ent. lie feel.; that he has won d Ted scc far awayic from G;odl and grciUeed Godc's spirit, trcamnpled upon the blood of the Sun of God, and somimeliis he wondlers if ha . has not comm ittedl the unpardonable sin. Some of the best men the wvorldl has ev'er known have gone for dlays with a burdened heart-deep conviction fo sin--Spurgeon and Finney and others, such as Lorenzo Dowv who wvent for some time undler conviction for sin before the burden of their heart rolled awvay. Paul wvas strick en down to the'earth wvith conviction and several days before the light camne. I heard one of the leading; preachers in the Southern Baptist Convention tell of his conviction and conversion. When he starfed to the front to be prayed for he swooned awvay and later when he came to him self he rejoiced in God. Today he is a great gospel preacher. Yes, poor sinner, Christ wvill receive you. He will pardon you. ie wvill save you, if you repent and coine to Ihim, ie that cometh unto me I wvill-in no wvise east out. Come repeating, believing and1( ye shall be saved. D~on't try to make yourself bet ter', but come just as you are, a poor m~u il ty sin ner, undc 111'~ condem nation for~ sin.

Columbia, May G.--Considerable interest has been tuken in the an nouncement made Thursday, of the tentative plans for a new Republi can party in South Carolina, and the outcome of tl conference in Wash ingften later in the month will be awaited with intense interest. One of the features of the props ed plan: of the new party organizers I is that they are mot taking out their battle axes to cut off the political head' of all Democratic office hold era, simply because, of party differ enees. it is understood that the leaders and advocates of the new party'idea intend to recommend that in some cases the present office hold ers, Democrats be retained, because of their fitness for office. In a num ber of cases the new party leaders propose to appoint prominent Demo crats to office. The idea is to, create, not a Republican party of the type that has been known in South Caro lina in past years, but a "pure" white organization, one that will stand for the best men in office and for eflic iency and right in government. This is the expression of the men who are leaders in the proposed movement so far. As yet the name of the leader of the ne w party has not been divulged, but the prominent Columbian who has been in Washington recently, in I conference with administration lead ers states that he will be a man of unquestioned character, a man of ability and good standing, who has never been in politics before and who desires to see politics in South Caro lina put on a high plane of cleanli ness and honor. The appointments which the new party proposes to recommend are not announced as yet, and only in a few cases is it known who will get the plums" that have been ripe and ready Ito fall for so long. The collector of the port at Charleston is an important 1office which is still "in the dark. The Vnarshall -of the Western district is Also an important "Job" to which no name has as yet been hunt.
