The Gift of Tongues

A despatch from Pittsburg dated July 9 says that the Pentecostal Convention of the Gift of Tongues was in session there. "Worshipers, both men and women, rolled about the straw-covered floors of the tent. The temperature within was almost suffocating, many becoming exhausted." "As they rolled and scrambled about the floor, they howled, shrieked, and groaned for a manifestation in the form of the gift of tongues. None received it, however." And yet if this seeking is continued in the same way, the devil will substitute something for the genuine, we may be assured of that. God gives as He will, not as we will.
