The story goes that during one of Napoleon's

decisive battlesr one of his generals galloped up jn

a panic and said, "General, the battle is; lost," Na-

rpoleon calmly answered, "yes> but there is plenty

of timfe to win another." Our battle for Home and

Foreign: Missions is not lost, by any means. Neith-

er "is it won. But there is time enough before May

the first to win a splendid victory. I do hot be-

lieve Southern Baptists ever (aced a more critical

campaign than this in all their history. Defeat

would be so disastrous, victory would be so glor-

ious, that we must succeed. And we: can.; If the

Associational,leaders in these few momentous days,

will see that every church is reached, if the pastors

will see that the cause is presented to every inem-

Rev. J, L. Walker resigned the pastorate of

the Baptist church at Lexington, Sunday, April 5th.

Brother Walker is'a splendid man and will make

some pastorless church in Oklahoma a fine pastor.

Some good church should secure him at once. We

do not want to see him get but of Oklahoma.

son pf Brad Hayes, to succeed D. N. Curb, who has

resigned to take mission work under the State

Board/

ation at the school. Six members were also re-

ceived by letter and restoration March 29th at com-

of the church at Cleveland, Oklahoma, and is on

the field. We writes for the Messenger, to keep

The most common way is to dismiss him, with-;

whether or not he is ever excusable for, by noting

some of the things that he is expected to be:

1, He is always expected to be ready with a

good sermon.

2. To be a deep student not only of the Bible,

church history, etc., but of human nature and con-

Ikre are six things a pastor is expected to be,

any onfe of which might require his whole time. By

what authority do; we expect the impossible of him?

If the pastor has been busy all week looking

after the finances and visiting, when can he be the

deep student and prepare his beautiful oratorical

discourses for Sunday? Or when can he plan for

greater development in Sunday School or B. Y. Pi

Suppose the pastor is not a good financier, but

does the other work well^ should he be dismissed?

If so what assurance have you that the next pastor

will do as well, to say nothing of doing better? A

safer way would be to retain him and ask the dea-

cons or other members who are good financiers, to

use their talent for the Lord arid ^relieve the pastor

in this particular. It is more their work than it is

the pastor's anyway.

neglecting to take up the plans and suggestions of-

fered by him, after he has spent monthsin.working

them out. Here the church is falling down -woe-

fully but the pastor too often gets credit for it.

Whether the pastor has fallen down or not, make it

a point to do what he,wants done, magnify his good

.qualities, and if it is,necessary to,speak; of the weak

points excuse them. If fault finders-insist on it

tell them that "He who thinks a perfect piece^to see,

thinks what ne'er was nor is nor e'er can be." ~;

'Count the pastors abilities, your privileges and

his inabilities your opportunities. As Aaron/and

Hur held up the hands of Moses, even so may the

children of God hold up the hands of the pastors

that the Lord's Kingdom may come more speedily.

P. S; The Fifth Sunday meeting requested

that Miss Mary Roach's .Paper be printed. We

thought that it might be beneficial to some church.

The Fifth Sunday meeting was inspiring and

well attended-

A Vital Contribution

-.-;• Perhaps the most vital contribution of the Woman's

Societies to missionary administration has. been their

demonstration of the power of organization,

By their splendid army of unpaid officers and helpers;

Bjr their close contact with the local church;

By their system of minute supervision;

By; their network of meetings and conventions;

Byj their flood of attractive missionary literature;

By! their alluring but comprehensive mission study

text bpoks;

ByLtheir summer schools and institutes all over the

land;; j

•

Byi their simple but constructive policies of Praye'r,

Finance, Education, Expansion, Standards of Excellence,

and Honor Rolls, they have developed in state, associa-

tion and local auxiliaries, leaders with the vision of a

seer anil the breadth and grasp of a statesman. Women

TRACT DEPARTMENT,

Realizing the great service that can be rendered in the

kingdom by the distribution of safe, sane and well prepared

literature, we have started the Messenger Tract Depart-

ment and will publish from time to time the best w6 can

find on "correct doctrine" and "right living". Let us coun-

teract the pernicious sowing of the false by Russellites and

others, by scattering the truth broadcast. The following

tracts are ready for delivery:

"No Probation after Death," four pages.

"A Curse for Us,":four pages.

"The. Believer Safe in Christ," four pages.

"The Bell In the Sea," four pages.

"The Door That is Never Locked," four pages.

"Social Regeneration," four pages.

"Why Baptize?" four pages.

The above tracts will be furnished at 45c a hundred,

postpaid, or $3 a thousand, assorted, or titles selected.

We also have'Dr, Hulten's Sermon on the hell question,

sixteen page tract, 25c a dozen, and just off the press a

tract on "The Financing of the Kingdom," :by Grant Cham-

bers, pastor of the Baptist Church at Okmudgee, eight page

tract, 20c a dozen. If you believe In tithing this would be

a good tract to distribute among your people. Other tracts

will be published from time to time.

If you do not believe actively and practically in

missions your system of theology heeds a going"

over.'.- -•'" "" •. '. -•'* ••'';!

with courage, with daring, with imagination, with initia-

tive and with constructive ability have added to the effi-

ciency pf €ivery department of Christian work.

Mrs. Helen B. Montgomery says, "The sowing, culti-

vating and I fear harrowing of the home field by these

indefatigable Woman's Missionary Societies is one prime

cause of the missionary harvests of the past twenty-five

years. It is as unreasonable for anyone to complain of

the expense of these organizations as for a business house

to grudge the salaries paid its agents or the expense of its

advertising departments. Moreover, such are the differ-

ent conditions of the lives of men and women that it is

possible to secure from women what cannot be given by

men—unpaid service. There are thousands of women of

wide vision and ability who are able and glad to give their

services to this work. How short-sighted and wasteful

it would be if the church of Christ should leave unutilized

such resources. Resources only to be developed by wom-

en sharing the burdens of missionary administration. We

learn by doing, and it is only because we have been given

a definite task for which we are solely responsible jhat

the women of our churches have awakened to intelligent

and efficient co-operation in tlie stupendous work of evan-

gelizing the world. Therefore, the work of the Womans*

Mission Societies for the women of our home churches is

just beginning."

WOODWARD,

The Woman's Baptist Missionary Society of

Oklahoma have planned to hold six district mission-

ary rallies in different parts of the state during

this month. The meeting place for the Northwest-

ern District which includes Perry, Pawnee, Salt

Fork Valley,'Dewey, Mills County, Beaver, Har-

per, Texas-Cimarron, and Woodward Associations,

is Woodward, and the date is April 23 and 24. A

number of the state workers, Miss PetterSon of

Chicago, the general field worker of the Foreign

Society, and others will be there. A cordial invi-

tation is extended to members of Missionary So-

cieties, pastors, and all who possibly can to attend

these meetings. You should not miss this oppor-

tunity to meet and hear these splendid Christian

workers. Free entertainment will be provided for

all. Those who are planning to attend should com-

municate^with Mrs. B. A. Loving, secretary of the

local society, so that arrangement for your enter-

tainment can be made.

There is cleansing power in the^blopd of the lamb. ^

MESS E N G E R

YOUNG PEOPLE'S DEPARTMENT

Conducted by J. B. Rounds, Oklahoma City.

TOPICS FOR SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 1914.—B. Y. P. U.

QUARTERLY TOPIC.

"Missionary Meeting—The Religious Appeal of South

American Cities."

Tlie South American cities haying over 100.QOO popu-

lation are: Bogota, Colombia; Rio de Janeiro, Bahia and

Pernambuco, Brazil; Buenos Ayres, Argentina; Monte-

video, Urguay; Santiago and Valparaiso, Chile; Lima,

Peru. From these 'centers go out the influences that

shape the policies of the Latin American countries-

Cities shape the policies of countries. That is true

of Rome, Athens, Babylon, Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg,

Constantinople, Jerusalem, Vienna, Madrid, and London.

New York has controlled the finances of America for

years through Wall Street National legislation centers

at Washington.

Paul's great ministries were in Antioch, Athens, Bp-

hesus, Corinth, Philippi, and Rome.

Now South America will be what her-great cities

are.

We only have missions in Rio de Janeiro, Bahia,

Pernambuco, Buenos Ayres, and Montevideo. There is

so much in South America yet for us to do. Commercial

interests are just awakening to the importance of this vast

continent and its possibilities. The opening of the Pan-

ama Canal is the opportunity of South America. But it

places a responsibility on us that we never had to bear

before, and we must now bear it or fail our Lord in a

crucial time. Study the Quarterly,

SERVICE TOPIC.

"Conquest Meeting—Missionary Work Through the Sun-

day School."— Psa. 19.

The missionary! idea needs early embedding. No

place like t&e Sunday School to do this. If this genera-

tion can have a Sunday School that gives the proper

missionary education of the rising generation, then we

will have a generation of givers in the next generation.

The church of today is the Sunday School of yesterday.

I.—Sunday School education is enlightening. The head

needs the grasp that the proper study of missions will give

We need well rounded giving today and to do this the ed-

ucational agency is the Sunday School.

It—Sunday School education is emotional. The public

schools say "As a man belleveth in'his head so is he";

while the Bible says "As a man believeth in his heart

so is he." Properly trained emotions are good barometers.

He who honestly follows his emotions, instead of sel-

fishly following them will come nearer the truth than the

man who follows emotionless intellect.

Ill—Sunday School education is economic. The person

acts on his education. "To him that knoweth to do right

and doeth it not, to him it Is sin." Most of our non-giving

church members are hon-givigg because they are intellect-

ually wrong toward God. They have never been taught

what their duty is,- and therefore have never been en-

listed. When we began in the public schools to teach the

evil effects of alcohol we soon raised a generation whose

sentiment is strongly temperate. The enlightenment "of

the school boy, is now the economic property of that boy

grown to man. So will be the effect of the proper mission,

training in the Sunday School. Take offerings, but do

not take them for the-amount of money you will get but

for the training you give the boy in giving the money.

NOTES AND SUGGESTIONS.

Pastors are the key to the Young People's situation.

Why does this devolve upon them Because they are God's

chosen leader of their churches. If the B. Y. P. TL Is not

church work then it should not be had in:the churches at

all. If it Is church work, what part of the church work is

it?

It Is that part tha^ puts the forces In the kingdom to

doing the thing they are called to do for their Lord in the

kingdom. Every saved soul has a talent. Many times

that person does not know that he has any talent; Many

persons never discover the talents that are In them. Others

must discover these. How many of your best teachers

came to you of,their own volition an offdered themselves

tmless they had been trained elsewhere.' Bid you not

tave a time in enlisting many of them? What did .you

oo? You discovered teaching talent and enlisted it; Now

the B. Y. P. U. Is to become a discovering agency not of

teachers only, but of all the talents that need developing

and then furnish the opportunity to develop. Can a young

tmtrained Christian do_ this for you? I think not. You

need' :to: develop the right kind of presidents

Unions as well as the rlghtjdnd o

your schools..-'

INSIDE THE CUP

Winston Churchill's book bearing the above

title hs|s created considerable interest and discus-

sion, and we must admit -that it is a remark-

able bopk and one calculated to hold the attention

from fii-st to last, and shows the author to be a

man of {exceptional gifts. ; He also pictures graphic-

ally present day conditions, revealing the undisput-

ed fact (that inside the cup there is^ tnucji corrup-

tion-and viewing the book from this angle it might

be well for some of our scribes^ parisees, hypocrites

and high financier churchmen.to read it and get a

glimpse: of themselves.

Bui: after all the book is one calculated to un-

;ettle the faith -'of thousands and do great harm

here fhe reader is not fully grounded in the real

caching of the Bible. The author, while an exr

ceedingTy capable man, is also a blind man, for spir-

itual things must be spiritually discerned, and,he

reveals an utter lack of the knowledge of true Chris-

tianity; ; He sets up a dead and formal Episcopal-

ism and finding it powerless to ekvate or change

; lives, he comes to the conclusion that orthodoxy

; is a^thing of the past, and he has his hero, Rev. John

Hodder,| after a: period of soul agony, come but into

characters are constantly dealing- with human souls

but not in a single 'instance do they preach the gos-

pel or mention the"- gospel; nor is there an account

of a single soul saved. , On the other hand there is

much talk of social uplift, and such like, and a re-

fusal to accept the scriptures^except where they har-

monize with the "spirit of humanity," but great is

social regeneration. It is a book that will- no doubt

appeal mightily to the.^ followers of liberalism, new

theology, or the Chicago University School, but the

author could be, so far as any revelation to the' con-

trary is converned, a Unitarian^ a Romanist, a Spir-

itualist, or a Buddhist for that matter, and so could

all who feel they are competent to decide upon what

scripture is inspired and what is of man. The great

trouble with the modern thought is that somehow

they have confused things that differ. The king-

dom is one thing and will be set nip when Jesus

conies and the Avork and ministry of the church is

is sayed who does not know the crucified, risen Sav-

iour who shed -His blood to redeem us from the

guilt and power "of sin. ,Such books as "Inside the

Cup/1 frustrate this truth.

; ,

IN LOYALTY THERE IS STRENGTH.

-; ' It seems that our leaders in;the Northern Bap-

tist^ Convention ^are determined to surrender the

positions maintained by our fathers and .taught by

the Word—the principles that have made Baptists

the mighty power they are in the-worldj for God

and righteousness, by practical admission that we

have nothing that other denominations do not ad-

equately supply.

;

The Editor of "Missions," in the April num-

ber, says:

/ 'The recent -Home Mission! Institutes held in

six western states, and reported in other pages of

this issue, were significant in more ways than one.

They brought out, for one thing, the new conditions

of harmonious co-operation in which the work of

home missions is being conducted by the leading

Boards and Societies. They disclosed, for another

thing, the intelligent methods now pursued, in or-

der to find out just whatgthe needs of the field are

and how they may most effectively be met. The re-

ligious census talcing that has been done makes it

possible to lay plans of definite character, and to

designate work to various organizations which are

so situated that they can best carry it on. The

Home Missions Council in a quiet way has been

performing a service of great importance to the fu-

ture religious development of the West The rep-

resentatives of the Council, in these institutes made

it plain to workers on the field that the program of

the future is to be one of zeal tempered by knowl-

edge and of extensive work planned and executed

in co-operation." '

•-;•"

•;

Thus at home and abroad we are saying to de-

nominations whose policy is to make little or light

of "some of the great fundamental truths of the

Word: "You go in here and teach/and we will stay

out." We grant .that these are difficult days for a

man to maintain.his religious equilibrium for liber-

alism, co-operation, fraternity arid brotherhood are

words that indicate a treiheridous: niovement to-

ward.the deification of man, or whait; some of them;

"Many things are set aside not because they

are untrue but because they are supposed to stand

in the way oi union. _.;-. The things that divide are

eschewed. Only those that bring union are .worth

while. Concession instead; of conviction is the or-

der of the day in many quarters. Creeds are de-

cried and denominationalism is anathematized. Ev-

erybody is to concede all he can in order to cure

the heresy of schism.

A resultant of all this in the religiosu world is

the magnifying of non-clenominatipnal or inter-de-

nominational movements. We want something

that all can come into, where there is no denomin-

ationalism.

;

If denominationalism will persist in living> let

it be controlled by the broader, more liberal thing,

un-denominationalism! Forthwith a world pro-

gram is in order for the marching hosts of Christen-

dom, with an attenuated dendminationalism. That

is a trend of the times.

"Now, over against this is a fact of history,

namely, thaUmovements have been successful when

they have magnified convictions. All the reforms

and progress of the world have been achieved by

men of conviction. ~:.. . ,:. {.-'• /

EVANGEL

v "

\ " " With a Circulation of 260,000 Copies Already.

Pronouticed by experienced Song Leaders, Pastors and Evangelists to'be

the best and most useful book ever published.

A Standard Book in Baptist Circles

"The; World Evangel" was used

in the S Southern. Baptist Laymen's

Convention last spring; also in the

Southern Baptist ; Convention, in

the Northern Baptist Convention,

in nearly all of the Baptist Young

People's Assemblies during the

summer, and in a majority of the

State ponventions. In fact, the

compiler of "The World Evangel"

has fuxjnished all the books which

have bjeen used for five years in

the Baptist World Alliance, the

Southern Baptist Convention, the

Northern Baptist Convention, and

in most; of the State Conventions in

the United States.

is not only that it is larger (288

pages) and has more numbers

(400) than other books at the same

price, but its chief claim to superi-

ority is the character of music

which it contains. This book was

intended to supply the complete

need of a church for music; there

is no longer any reason for having

a Hymnal, a Sunday School Book

and a Young People's Book, for

"The World Evangel" not only sup-

plies the fullest demand of all, but

is better adapted to each class of

service than the specialty book; it

is the one book, and the best one

for all chruch services.

j MANY PEOPLE UNDERSTAND

that a large group of songs are "free," that is, they are not copyrighted, or

the copjrright has expired; that another large -number of songs are copy-

rlghted,fbut anybody can secure the use of them for nothing, or for a small

price; but that there are some popular copyrights that every compiler

cannot secure the use of without heavy expense. After months of exhaus-

tive search, during which time thousands of songs were examined, not a

single iong desired for "THE WORLD EVANGEL" was left out because

of the high price required to secure it, and we, therefore, ask that friends

will examine the large number of expensive copyrights which are in "The

WORLD EVANGEL," but not found in other books. In fact, all we ask is

that this book be thoroughly examinlned; it earnestly courts comparison

with;the world.

Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.

How to Remove Easily.

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face, to

try a remedy for freckles with the guar-

antee of a reliable dealer that it will not

cost you a penny uiiless it removes the

freckles; while" if it does give you a

clear complexion the expense is trifling.

Simply get an ounce of othine--dou-

blestrength—from any druggist and a few

applications should show you how easy

it is to rid yourself of the homely freckles

and get a beautiful complexion. Barely

is more than one ounce needed for the

worst case. \

Be sure to ask the druggist for the

double strength othineas this is the pre-

scription sold under guarantee of money

back if it fails to remove freckles.

.OBITUARY

C. D. Smith, Jr., died at his home

at 720 North Eiwood in Tulsa, OMai,

Apr. 3d, 1914, aged 39 years, 3 months,

3 days. He leaves to mourn his De-

parture a sister, three brothers and

a young wife to whom he had heen

married only three months. He was

a charter member of the Second Bap-

tist Church and had been superintend'

ent of its Sunday school for two and

a half years. To him more than to

any one else was due the organiza-

tion and success of the Second Bap*

tist Church. He took charge of the

Sunday school when it was a mis-

sion school of - the First Baptist

Church and as a, result of his wise

leadership the Second church was or-

ganized with only 16 members, while

'now it has 82 members. The Sunday

school has been built up from 20 to

nearly 200. The funeral services were

-held at the First Baptist church

where his membership was before the

organization of the Second church.

The funeral address was: given by his

pastor, Rev. C. E. Cannady before a

large and sympathetic congregation.

Increased Enrollment.

The encampment schools have been

growing in popularity each year as

shown by attendance figures. In 1911

total attendance was 22,400; in 1912,

33,133; in 1913, 51,776. These schools

are held in a large circus tent which

the college provides. Separate morn-

ing and afternoon programs are given

for women and girls, and for men and

boys. Fan^i crops, dairying, livestock,

etc,/will be discussed for the? benefit

of the men and boys and cooking,

home sanitation, sewing and other

household subjects for the women and

GENEALOGY.

-An unbelieving scientist, in a con-

versation with Dr. Talmage, was mak-

ing sport of one of the genealogical

chapters of the Bible. Dr. Talmage

said: " Well, let us see how the. table

would appear according to your sched-

ule." "The microscopic animalcule

begat the pollywog, and the pollywog

begat the serpent,- and the serpent

begat the quadruped, and the quad-

ruped begat the baboon, and the ba-

boon begat the man," etc. That does

not sound much like a revelation from

heaven, does it? The philosophy is,

that after a while the ape lost his

power of holding on to the trees by

his tail, and therefore lost the power

to climb, and so became" a man. Jn

other words, failures as apes—suc-

cesses as men. According to this,

man is a bankrupt monkey. I pre-

fer to believe that the preface of ray

cradle was God, and that the sequel

to my grave will be God. Prom Gen-

esis I get my arrival here—from Rev-

elation my appearance yonder. One

of the greatest evidences of the truth

of the Bible is the apparent untruth

of .the other systems.—Western Re-

corder.

Common garden sage brewed into a

heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol

added, will ;iurn gray, streaked and

faded hair beautifully dark and lux-

uriant, remove every bit of dandruff,

stop scalp itching and falling hair.

Just a few applications will prove a

revelation if your hair is fading, gray

or dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing the

Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,

though, is troublesome. An easier way

is to get the ready-to-use tonic, cost-

ing about 50 cents a large bottle at

drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage

apd Sulphur Hair Remedy," thus

avoiding a lot of muss.

While wispy, gray, faded hair is not

sinful, we all desire - to retain our

youthful appearance and attractive-

ness. By darkening your hair with

Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can

tell, because it does it so naturally, so

evenly. You just dampen a sponge or

soft brush with it and draw this

through your hair, taking one small

strand at a time; by morning all gray

hairs have disappeared, and, after an-

other application or two, your hair

becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft

luxuriant.

Rain as a Fertilizer

Rain, especially when accompanied

by thunder and lightning, has a fer-

tilizing effect upon the soil. There is

almost always ammonia in the air and

that is carried by the rain into the

earth. It has been calculated that a

quart of rain water may contain about

one-eightieth of a grain of ammonia.
