A Communion Service at Barren City

After Pasto'r Mark Barnabas' conversion to re- All agree that baptism precedes the Lord's Supper,

gular baptism he began thinking more seriously of both scripturally and reasonably, for baptism'is^the

the communion question. Two or three members of

his congregation, who held their membership in Peclo

Baptist churches, had been partaking of the Lord's

Supper on the ground that they had been immersed,

and the pastor had just supposed, without giving it

consideration, that it was all right, but after his con-

version it was not difficult for him to see the logical

and scriptural attitude, and so at the next observance

of the Lord's Supper he preached a brief sermon on

the divinity of Christ and in coming to the Lord's

table (and by the way they used "the individual glass.

At first some of the older members felt*that it was

almost sacrilegious, but when they saw that the supper

scriptural way to express faith in that \yhich: saves

and life precedes sustenance. Therefore, without -; N^W^^^

for a moment questioning the beautiful arid^Christ]^©^

characters of those who disagree with us, to be true

to our Lord and our conviction, \ye must insistJ that

the Lord's table is for those only who have beeii re-

gularly baptized. The importance of this aside from

the commands is that we may keep a clear testimony

before the world of the essential, fundamental, saving

truths of the gospel.

called by the Board to lead in his work to its com-

pletion. Few men among us'are better adapted to

this work than Brother Johnson. He has been a

great missionary pastor fonyears, and brings with him

the pastor's experience. He has just resigned as pas-

tor of the First Baptist Church, Waxahachie, one of

the great Churches of Texas. For several years Dr.

Johnson was pastor of the Seventh and James Church

in Waco, which is under the shadow of Baylor Uni-

versity and is the University Church.

Dr. Johnson is a native of Tenn. and a graduate

of Carson Newman College. He took .the full course

in the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louis-

ville, in 1903. While in Ky. he was pastor of the

East Meade Church, Louisville, and of the First Bap-

tist Church, La Grange.

For the past two weeks Brother Johnson has been

assisting pastor Compere in a meeting in Shawnee,

with gracious results. There were eighty professions

last Sunday morning and 30 additions to the Church.

At the close of the meeting he goes to Houston to

engage in a great mission campaign in that city, and

then to Mississippi to assist in finishing up the Judson

Centenniel Fund there. I am glad to commend. Bro.

Johnson to the South West and to Oklahoma.

The Great Commission is a Baptist Challenge and

a Baptist Opportunity. In Ephesians, 5-16 in the

margin of the American Revised Version, Paul says

"Buying up the opportunity because"the days are evil."

Many are the unpurchased opportunity that lie

before us; the world is open to conviction as never

before; we above all people owe the world a great

debt that can only be paid through the blood of Christ

We above all others can purchase the unpurchased

opportunities.. John R. Mott says, ""The. Baptists,

because of their independence gncl local self-govern-

ment, have the greatest opportunity of any people in

the East"

The incoming hordes of Catholism glowing into

our Southland brings us face to face with a new oppor-

tunity; if we keep from being inundated by "this tidal

wave, we must guild before it great and mighty Bap-

tist Bulwarks.

This is done by you and I through Home and

Foreign Mission work. Will your part be done?

HOME AND FOREIGN MISSIONS/

There seems to be over confidence in the Home

and Foreign Mission- Campaign in some sections^

If we raise $19,000 by the first of May there must

be a strong pull at the last. We are now so near the

close I fear there is much danger of waiting too

long to begin. There certainly are many reasons

why we should meet our full share of the financial

obligation to Home and Foreign Missions this year.

Nineteen thousand dollars is nearly as much as we

raise for State Missions each year, by putting into

it the most we all can do. -I mention this to, indicate

something of the task we now have and only a

few days in which we are to do the work.

THE SOUT!HERN BAPTist CONVENTION.

Meets This Year at Houston Texas, We4nesday

May 12th at 3 P. M.

Basisxof Representation

Each District Association is entitled to one

Messenger. Each church wliich gives as much as $250,

for Home and Foreign Missions, during the year, is

entitled-to One Messenger for each $250, given.

The entire state will be entitled to One Messenger

for each §250 thus given by all of the churches of the

state, combined. The representative from the Asso-

ciation MUST have been elected by the Association,

and certified in the minutes.

The Messengers from the churches, under the

"plan of th eConvention, will receive enrollment cards

from the State Secretary, who is authorized by the

board to issue them. All persons, except Messengers

from Associations, who expect to go, from Oklahoma,

will please write to me, and I will mail the neccessary

enrollment cards in due time.

The number who can be thus seated will depend

upon the offerings made for home''and foreign mis-

sions. In order to be included in this years work, and

used as a basis for appointment, MUST BE IN MY

HANDS BY APRIL 3Oth—so it can be sent in by

wire that night. . Later than that will be TOO LATE.

This being our first year of "single alignment

work we shuold by all means have a full delegation;

based on the full payment of our full apportionment

The rate will be two cents each way, for round-

trip, see your agent several days before time to start,

about rate.

A large number of churches ought to send their

pastors. It is always money well spent. It will be

an easy task to rais the money if some one will take

it in hand in time.

tributed through the state, that it will be easy for our

concern the urgent appeal ofour brethren for Mission-

of each one of us. The Lord is just simply turning

the whole world over to the Baptist denomination for

pure evangilization. Will we go up and pass the op-

portunity. These good brethren would not niake these

requests if the situation was not serious. I have been

of this officer rests the duty of seeing that his Sunday

School takes a collection for Home and Foreign mis-

school in Wilburton on last Sunday was glorious. It

helps the church and the school and the ^ntire situation.

Now my dear brother or sister I pray you in the name

of our God not to turn down this ardent request for

ja collection for missions in the Sunday School. If

you have failed to take one, do so in your school

Lesson II.

April 11.

DAVID ANOINTED KING. •

Moitto Text: "Man looketh on the outward

appearance but God looketh on the heart."—Sam.

16:7.)

Lesson Outline. -

I. The Visit of Samuel and King-finder. 1-5.

Samuel was prophet and judge, he was greater

than "the king in that he was the voice and rod of

God. He spake for God and he reproved and re:

bufled, he corrected and taught, he accepted1 and

rejected, all in the name of the Lord.

The elders tremble, his visit may mean judg-

ment of some kind.

•

He had rejected Saul, his^ visit to Bethlehem

might bring down upon them the wrath of the re-

jected king.

."."•• •

Doubtless all the people, even Saul, expected"

a new king to be anointed.'

His visit was one of peace as witnessed by the

bringing of an heifer to offer and this was a peace

offering, only the males were; offered otherwise.

Jesse and his; family are specially invited to

the sacrificeWe

find

Bethlehem now

prominent in the story

and because of David the great king and aDavid's

greater son Jesus, Bethlehem will remain in the

story to the end.

II. The Search for the King.

Samuel immediately begins the search for the

new king. He begins by looking upon the outward

appearance until God warned him flot to do so.

The new king was to be king in the heart and not

in outward appearance.] Europe could have saved

herself the awful.bloodshed-knd:destruction of the

present war had she learned this lesson.

No king is truly royal in his kingship.' who

does not bow down to the kingship of Jesus Christ

and render him heart service.

All the stalwart sons of Jesse, kingly in ap-

pearance are made to pass before the critical eye

of the prophet who, though pleased with theni, was

compelled to say to the anxious father "The Lord

MISSION NOTES;

W. T. Rouse.

The war will call for retrenchment in mission

efforts in many countries. It will mean that equip-

ment must be delayed. It may mean that in places

some missionaries will have to be recalled. In others

new missionaries who have been appointed cannot

be sent out. Let us pray that it may result in

stronger self support among the native converts on

the

fields.

In Korea last year the paid colporters among-

the Presbyterians sold 7,000 portions of the: Bible.

Those laboring free of charge sold 10,000 portions.

This puts to shame our church members in this en-

lightened land.

;. ;•

;

One of the significant tthings in th ereport of

the Japanese Governor General of Korea for 1912^-13

is, that it was printed in English. The government

of Japan is aiding the Koreans in schools, adminis-

tration of laws, etc., and is teaching the rnagriculr

ture and other useful modern methods. On the

whole the little hermit nation seems to be making

"progress. '.

". -

.;, .-.'.-'•-'\:-.//;--':J r ...'--_^•.!";•;;;.

It appears that one of the results of the present

war in Europe will be that the rule of Turkey in

Egypt will be at an end. In recent years Turkey

has been the nominal ruler of Egypt> but Englarid

-has been the virtual master. Recently Sir Arthur

Henry Mahon was appointed High Commissioner

over Egypt and Prince Hussein Kemal was ap-

pointed Sultan. Let us hope that one of the fniits

of this awful \yar will be the breaking of the power

of Mohammedanism.

One of the converts m China, when he came to

be baptized, brought a sack containing- idols; bowls

containing the ashes of his ancestors, arid some false

money which they offer to their idols. This sotmdS;

fested by converts in this country. The spirit dt

counts most.

BAPTIST MESSENGER

THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S DEPARTMENT.

Conducted by J. B. Rounds, Oklahoma City.

TOPICS FOR SUNDAY, APRIL 11, 1915;

B. Y. P. U. Quarterly Topic—"Bible Study Meet-

ing—Psalm 100."

This Psalm is composed of only five verses.

But they are the bearers of a great message. It is

the picture of .the great rejoicing after a decisive

victory.

V. 1 records a mighty shout of triumph. The

battle is over but the feasting is now in progress.

V- 2 calls for the songs of victory. They are to

be sung now as they will manifest the hearty ap-

proval of the victory.

V. 3 recognizes Jehovah as the God who does

all this. 'The heathen have given the honor of the

godhead to, Baal, Melkarth and other heathen dei-

ties. Who is-this God of victory? It is Jehovah.

V. 4 pictures the entering of the gates of the

city and the courts of the palace. We go in with

• the King to His festivities.

V. 5 throws off the veil and shows the char-

acter of Jehovah. Many people will be surprised at

His greatness and clemency and mercy and love

when they see Him.

Will you now enlist that you may then par-

ticipate?

Junior Quarterly Topic—"Paul's Last Visit to Je-

rusalem."

If you can induce some of the boys to bring

a public school geography and compare it with a

Bible map of Palestine it will lend reality to the

Bible story. Show the probable road that Paul

traveled. There.were four great cities that Paul's

eventful life was built into very largely. They were

Jerusalem, Antioch, Ephesus, and Rome. Two of

these cities are still great cities—Jerusalem and

Rome.

Try to give the ones that are to take part a

view of the whole lesson and their especial part

before the meeting begins that they may intelli-

gently, discuss their part.

Sunbeam Topic— (Supplied)—"Some Children, of

the Bible—Samuel/'

The story of Samuel the child will be found

in I Sam. Chapters 1-3. The mother of this child

was Hannah. She wrote a poem when he was

given to the Lord. I. Sam. 2:1-10. That mother

must have thought a great deal of her child. But

with it all she was willing" to give him to the Lord

first. So as soon as he could leave his mother, '

while he was "still a very small boy he was taken

' to the tabernacle to live/ He grew up with Eli

and his family. But he was constantly minister-

ing in the tabernacle. One night as Samuel was

sleeping a voice called and awakened him. He

thought it was Eli, but found it was not

It.

proved to be Jehovah speaking to him. He was

calling Samuel to be a great man for Him. All the

nations were to honor and look up to him. He was

to crown kings that were to come. He became the

greatest man in Israel.

•

. *

Have one of the Sunbeams tell about the boy

being taken td the temple; another about tlje

-mother taking!"him every year as she went to visit

him some new clothes. I.Sam. 2:19. Have one

tell about the call of Samuel 3:1-14. Have another

tell of the way he told Eli the next day how God

had spoken to him and what He said, 3:15-18. Then

have one tell of how when he became a man he

anointed the two first great kings of Israel, etc.

Some splendid lessons here for the Sunbeams.

Notes and Suggestions.

The Alton Union is the only one so far this

quarter that has turned;in their report as A-1, Will

the others kindly do ko that have attained this

Standard?

The Executive Committee of the State B. Y.

P. U. had a meeting recently that will have a bear-

ing on the State Convention and help to make the

program of that meeting a success. They also took

action regarding the Stjate Diploma for the B. Y.

P. U. work. More definite information will be given

out as the work on this line 'progresses.

I think we will report our first A-l Junior

Union next week. Watch and see who it is. This

will have some bearing on the State Banner for

Juniors that is tp be given at Edmond in June.

Let us begin to prepare for the State Conven-

, tion at Edmond June 8, 9, 10. Get the date so you

will remember it. The; State B. Y. P. U. Con-

vention, Edmond, June i8, 9, 10. And be sure to

[

e asked us for quotations

on individual communion sets and we have quoted

the forty glass tray at $5.75. The price has recent-

ly been redued to $5.50 per tray of forty glasses. .

The base now costs $2 and the cover $2 instead of

$2.25 each as heretofore. The bread plates have

been reduced from $1.45 to $L25. -We trust the

friends to whom we quoted prices will take note

of this and let us furnish what you need

A church that has only a nominal interest in

the cause of missions may have a name to live,

but in'reality it is dead.

Brother let us hear from you on the special

campaign for five thousand subscribers. Send in

the names as fast as you get them. We can win

if you will help, but not without your help.

WHERE AND HOW TO SEND HOME AND

FOREIGN MISSION MONEY.

On account of the added burden placed upon

the home board, brought about by single alignment,

it was agreed by the co-operating boards for this

year; that money given for Home and Foreign

Mission (undesignated) should'be divided in the

ratio of $12.00 for Home knd S7.00 for Foreign Mis-

sions.

Designated funds (if any), will be sent as di-

rected: Do not send direct to the Home or For-

eign Boards for then it cannot be credited on your

apportionment, and it will not appear in the An-

nual- Money. given for woman's distinctive work

should be sent to. their secretary, Miss Howell, of

this .city.

When sending money to this office be sure

and give name of church, the association as well

as your name and postoffice, in order that you may

receive proper credit and receipt mailed accord-

ingly.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD.

Sunday Mar. 2ist—I spent the day in Enid,

heard pastor Watson preach both morning and eve-

ning at three in the afternoon a splendid crowd of

•women braved the storm to croud to our meeting.

The women at Enid have a good work and some''fine

workers.

Monday, Mar. 22nd.—At Pond Creek we had

a fine meeting, Bro. and Sister Whickes promised

to have their car, full of women to the Alva meeting.

Tuesday, Mar. 23rd.—At Helena was the most

interesting meeting on my,-, trip. Twenty-six women

gathered in the home of Mrs. C. H. McCully, had

their books and mission magaznies in their hand, they

gave the program for the month in a way that proved

to me their earnestness in studying missions. After

the lesson I talked to them about our work, then the

hostess served delicious refreshments. There will be

an enthusiastic bunch of women from Helena in the

.Alva meeting.

My next meeting was in Cherokee, I had the

.pleasure of attending their prayer service and meet-

ing pastor Talley who is in very bad health, but his

affliction seems to be drawing the hearts of his people

closer to him and their Heavenly father. The women's

work in Cherokee church is not so encouraging as

in other places but we are hoping they will be encou-

aged and undertake greater things in the Master's

name this year.

Saturday, Mar. 27.—We had a good meeting

with the women at Clinton, the meeting was held in

the home of one of the members, well-attended, and

such a beautiful spirit :qf harmony love. Things are

moving on nicely at Clinton under, the leadership of

their new pastor. Some of the ladies promised to

bring their car full of folks to the Altus meeting.

We are hoping that it will not rain or snow any more

soo

' v

so that ou

r ladies

can

make

s to the

district meetings in their automobiles.

Sunday, Mar. 28, I spent the day in Elk City,

heard pastor Maddox preach in the morning, Sunday

night their Sunday School gave the "Missionary Day

in the Sunday School" program. Brother Maddox is

teaching his people, that to he a Christian, means to

have a world wide vision of our task. At three o'clock

in the afternoon I spoke to a splendid crowd of the

women of that church they have a very systematic

work also a good Childrens society, studing and con-

tributing to missions,

At Sayre, Brother Gwatkin met me at the train

and I was entertained in his home. In the afternoon,

although; the clouds were low and the wind blowing;

a large number of women greeted us at the church.

Mrs. Gwatkin has a fine Sunbeam society.

: .

At Erick, the weather was fierce andave had only

a few women out, but the few were very responsive

and we believe will do a great work this year.

At Sayre and Erick the women are planing to

go to Altus to the district meeting,

Texola, the last stop going west, here we found a

nice little church and is; doing a remarkable work.

They have been following a daily Bible Readers course

since last July, reporting on .the average of one hund-

red and fifty chapters read each week by the Sunday

School people. We had a good women's meeting

at Texola.

I have gathered from my last: four weeks work

on the field,.covering a large part of the state, many

things of interest. During1 this time I have taken

sixty seven subscriptions to our missionary magazines;

this means a growing interest in our great work. Jn

MRS. HUNTER.

Trinity Church, Oklahoma pty, has capped the

climax. Superintendent J. H. Stewart told us a few

weeks ago he was going to have five hundred at Sun-

day'School on Easter Sunday. Knowing the enthu-

siasm of pastor and people of Trinity we thought

they might reach it, but report comes to us Monday

morning that they had fiive hundred and forty-six, a:

remarkable record for what was just a mission school

about three years ago. Brother Stewart says they

have their stakes se* t for one thousan'

$5 and ten names to whom we will send the paper

. Brethren, the time for Home and Foreign Mis-

Now above all other years we should reach our

^apportionment this year. It is the first year of

.single alignment and the Home Mission Board has

;nobly come to our aid in doubling its gifts to our

work-in this state. Let us show our appreciation

: by niaking a; heroic, immediate, successful effort at

once to reach or 'surpass our apportionment.

,We understand that the Baptists of the North

have accepted the resignations of Dr. Emory W. Hunt,

General Secretary, and Dr. A. C. Baldwin, Foreign

.Secretary of the Foreign Mission Society. This

seemed to be necessary owing to a policy of ret'rench-

John Wanamaker declares that among the ethical

results of the "Billy" Sunday campaign is a stream

of checks coming into the department stores of Phil-

adelphia, for the payment of debts that had been con-

sidered lost. \\re cherish the hope that at elast 2,000

of our subscribers may come! under the influence of the

incomparable evangelist.—ifyatchman-E.ramincr.

We join the Watchman^Examincr in wishing that

our subscribers might come! under Billy Sunday's in-

fluence. ^ Why is it that men Avill claim to be honest

and Qiristians and yet not pay their debts, even news-

paper debts?

The Earaca-Philathea movement has accomplished

much good, and where the local classes are absolutely

tied, first, last and all the time to the church and.its

policy, there is nothing hurtful in a name, but the

tendency is becoming more and more pronounced to

become independent of the local school and church.

onizing denominational loyalty. The only safe rule

is to keep free from entangling alliances. If Baptists

are to deliver their God-given message to the \vrold

they must love all •Christians, but stand loyally and

unhesitatingly for a clear presentation of the truth.

To the mere sentimentalist this sounds harsh, but

to compromise at any important point means drift-

ing into the condition that is today characterized by

incompetency.

^ As a Result of Billy Sunday's eleven \veeks in

Philadelphia some forty-five thousand conversions are

reported. It is probably the greatest meeting in many

respects ever held. The offering to Mr. Sunday

amounted to more than $50,000, and he refused to take

all that was offered but gave it to the poor of the city.

It would be a good thing for these little fellows that

are going around, speaking beautifully about the eth-

ical^revival, to study the ethical results of Billy Sun-

day's plain, old-fashioned, terrific preaching. There

would be a little less nonsense about social aslvation

and more preaching of the real producer of social ele-

vation.^ The trouble with the modern pulpit is that too

many Unitarians are drawing salaries as Baptists, Pres-

byterians, etc.

Some encouraging reports are coming in from

the field with regard to the Home and Foreign Mis-

sion campaign. Quite a number 'of Sunday .Schools

have sent in their offerings resulting from the special

day (March 28, not to late yet to use that splendid

program if you did not observe the day.)

Rev. J. H. Agree an old-time pastor has returned

to his old fields, Tyrone and Hooker. He writes that

they have taken their Foreign Mission offering

making it over $100 (their apportionment was only

$40) and will take Home Missions during the month.

Another pastor offers to:give-a-good part of his

time to the campaign in his association. •

Another offering the .-use of his horse and buggy

to one of our workers so that countrv points may be

reached.

I have been called to the care of tl^ church at

Marshall for full time. I expect to move on the field

soon. I was with them last Sunday. We had a fine

day. We are all proud of the fact thai the church is

out of debt. We should make a forward step this year

along various lines. I don't believe I ever met young

people who seemed more interested in the afifairs of

the kingdom. The church is practically composed of

young people. Yet they have some faithful fathers

and mothers who have sacrificed and borne the burden

in the heat of the day. I expect to do some work

for The Messenger as soon as I get on the field.

Fraternally yours,

R.J.TYLER.

KONAWA AND ROFF.

I am now located at Roff as pastor for half time.

My church at Konawa and the one here are both fine

fields and I hope for a good ingathering this- year.

Both churches recently gave us a liberal pounding and

we are well supplied with groceries for several days—

a good time for the editor to come to see us. We will,

take our offering for Home and Foreign Missions at

our next services and expect a liberal offering.

.' * J. MARION JONES. .

Let every reader of The Messenger remember

just now the scene on Calvary and realize that

Christ died1, not for us alone, but for every creature

and that unto us is committed the word of recon-

ciliation. Will the blood^ of the lost be'upon our

skirts?

elty of the

A very successful revival meeting

was closed at the Baptist Church in

Checotah Sunday night, March 28.

There were 42 confessions of salva-

tion, 29 united with the church for

baptism and three by letter. We ex-

pect several more to unite with the

church soon. Rev. C. H. Carleton of

Poteau, who assisted Pastor Yancy in

the two weeks' meeting, preached

with great power. There were 11 con-

versions at the closing service Sun-

day night. We felt the Holy Spirit's

presence during the entire meeting,

but He was more manifest during the

Sunday services. Some of our prom-

inent business men made public coa-

fessions Sunday. The Bible readings

given by Rev. Carleton were very In-

structive and the membership were

greatly strengthened by the truths

taught. Rev. Carleton has been in pas-

toral work all of his eighteen years'

ministerial life. He has been at Po-

teau the past five years. He preaches

strong doctrinal sermons in such a

way as to touch the hearts of the peo-

ple, . Any one needing help in evangel-

istic services will not make a mistake

when asking him to preach.

Pastor Yancy is much loved by his

people and although he\ has been on

the field only since January 1, the

Lord's work is progressing along all

lines. He is a great Help to all.the

departments.

He gives good spiritual

sermons

with such a loving way that souls are

touched. He organized a Junior B. Y.

P. U. that is doing exceptionally good

work. They were active in leading

souls to Christ during the meeting.

Both men are men of God, who are

willing to be used by the Holy Spirit

in winning souls, that God's name may

be glorified.

We have just closed a glorious cam-

white and one Mexican Baptist

Church, with over six hundred addi-

Board Evangelists and_ an evangelist

to the Mexicans who assisted the Mex-

ican pastor. The city is very, wicked,

but the Lordgave us a glorious vic-

tory. The meeting for the Mexicans

was the most marvelous that I have

ever witnessed. They are so eager

to bear the pure gospel and anxious

to break with Catholicism. There were

"three hundred professions and forty-

six have already been baptized and

all the others are^ anxious to join and

will be received later. They await to

be examined and trained. There are

about forty thousand Mexicans in San

Antonio. Felix Baldain is the pstor.

He is a converted Spanish priest and

was an intimate friend of the late

pope. He was converted and came to

DWC ACID IN MEAT

ClOGSTBE KIDNEYS

fAK5-A GLASS OF SALTS fF YOUR

BACK HURTS OR BLADDER

BOTHERS YOU—DRINK

MORE WATER.

If you must have your meat every

day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with

salts occasionally, says a noted au-

thority who tells us that meat forms

uric acid which almos paralyses the

kidneys in their efforts to expel it

from the blood. They become slug,

gish and weaken, then you suffer with

a dull misery in the kidney region,

sharp pains in the back or sick head-

ache, dizziness, your stomach sours,

tongue is coated and when the weather

is bad you have rheumatic twinges.

The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment,

the channels often get sore and iirf-

tated, obliging you to seek relief two

or three times during the night.

To neutralize these irritating acids,

to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the

body's ruinous waste get four ounces

of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;

take a tablespoonful in a glass of

water before breakfast for a few days

and your kidneys will then act fine.

This famous salts is made from the

acid of grapes and lemon juice, com*

bined with lithla, and has been used

for generations to flush and stimulate

sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize

the acids in urine, so H no longer Irri-

tates, thus ending bladder weakness.

Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in-

jure, and makes a delightful efferves-

cent lithia-water drink.

GIRLS WITH BEAUTIFUL FACES

OR GRACEFUL" FIGURES.

American girls have a world-wide „

reputation for beauty, but, at the same

time, there are girls in oiir cities who

possess neither beauty of face nor

form, because In these instances they

suffer from nervousness, the result of

disorders of the womanly organism.

At regular intervals they'suffer so

much that their strength leaves them;

they are so prostrated that:.it takes

days for them to recover their

strength. Of course, such periodic

distress has its bad effect on the ner-

vous system. The withered and drawn

faces, the dark circles and crow's feet

about the eyes, the straight figure

without those curves which; lend so

much to feminine beauty are the un-

mistakable signs of womanly disor-

ders.

-•'-•" ' ! .;":

When a girl becomes.a woman, when

a woman becomes a mother, when

women pass through the changes of

middle life, are the three periods of

life when health and strength are

most needed to withstand the pain and

distress often caused by severe or-

ganic disturbances.-

At these critical times women are

best fortified by .the use of Dr.

Pierce's Favorite Prescription, an old

remedy of proved worth that keeps the

entire female system perfectly regu-

lated and in excellent condition.

Mothers, if your daughters are weak

lack ambition, are troubled with head-

ach$), lassitude and jare /pale and

sickly, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-

tion is just what they need to surely

bring the bloom ot health" to their

cheeks and make them strong and

healthy.

It you are a sufferer, if your daugh-

ter, mother, sister need help get Dr.

Pierce's Faroviate Prescription in

liquid or tablet form. -Then address

Dr, Pierce, Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N.

Y., and receive confidential advise

from a staff of specialists, that's"*free;

eases sent free.—Adv.

Editor Messenger:

We have just closed one of the most

precious meetings inj the history of

the Salt Creek Baptist Church. Broth-

er R. L. Payne/pastor of the Hen-

nessy Church, doing the preaching.

Eighteen additions, nine by baptism

and nine by'relation and letter. The

church has taken on new life and is

making an effort to secure a pastor

for one-half time preaching. We finn

Brother Payne to be a devoted Chris-

tian and a gentleman of the highest

type* a fearless defender of Baptist

principles and not afraid to denounce

sin. His preaching is clean-cut gospel

and is elevating and inspiring. Lead-

ing men and women to feel the need

of leading better1 lives. He leaves Salt

Creek with the entire friendship of

all he met. Brother Payne is a man

w«e can heartily recommend to any

church or people who are fortunate

enough to secure his services. Sister

Payne preached for us last Sunday at

11 o'clock and also at night to a

crowded house. After meeting Sister

Payne we realized that Brother Payne

owed a great deal of his success as a

minister to his wife, who is a great

inspiration to him as a fellow worker

in the Master's vineyard.

"Resolved, That we, the members

of Salt Creek Baptist .Church do heart-

ily endorse Rev. R. L. Payne as a

Christian gentleman, whose character

is above reproach and would recom-

mend to the Baptist people of Okla-

COMB SAGE TEA IN

HAIR TO DARKEN IT

Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy,

thick with a mixture of Sage

Tea and Sulphur. ,

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea

and Sulphur for darkening gray,

streaked and faded hair ~is grand-

mother's treatment, and folks are again

using it to keep thetr hair a good, even

color, which is quite sensible, as we

are living in an age when a youthful

appearance is of the greatest advan-

tage.

Nowadays, though, we don't have

the troublesome task of gathering the

sage and the xnussy mixing at home.

All drug stores sell the ready-to-use

product called "Wyeth's Sage and Sul-

phur Compound" for about 50 cents a

bottle. It is very popular because no-

body can discover it has been applied.

Simply moisten your comb or a soft

brush-with it and draw this through

your hair, taking one small strand at

a time; by morning the gray hair dis-

appears, but what delights the ladies

with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that,

besides beautifully darkening the hair

after a few applications, • it also pro-

duces that soft lustre and appearance

of abundance which is so attnictive;

besides/ prevents dandruff, itching

scalp and falling hair.

HELENA.

When I came here four months ago,

some thought that the Helena Church

was dead; that was a mistake. She is

not dead^ "Behold she liveth," and is

able to sit up and take some real doc-

trinal nourishment from the old Book.

Signs of real life, and desire for"ac-

tive service can be easily seen. W^e

have by far the best Women's MIsf

sioanry Society that I have ever seen

in a church of this size. It is nothing

unusual to see thirty of bur Baptist

women assembling themselves for the

study of "The Child in the Midst" -I

have a class of fourteen taking our

Sunday School Normal Course, of;

which I am truly proud. We have-just

gotten our B. .Y. P. U. organized, and

it promises to be the liveliest pepart-

ment'of pur church work. The;church

was in bad condition, having been pas-

torless for some time, but with the

'Lord's help we are going to get back

on our feet, and do some things for

the Lord. We have bought and re-

paired a fine little;five-room parson-:

age, "well located, and done some re-,

pairing on the church building. Bro-

ther Dan Curb was with us over Sun-

day, and preached two great sermons.;

Our people responded with about $40

to his call for Home and Foreign; Mis-

sions,

Dog Figured Things Out

A St. Louis man had his left foot

caught between the bumpers ,of two

freight cars .on a siding, and was un-

able to extricate himself. The mani

who had become unconscious, might

have lost his life if a Scoch collie

had not understood the situation. The

dog ran home, only a short distance,

and gave the alarm. An investigation

followed, and the man was saved. -- :;

SULPHUR, OKLA.

We were delighted to have with us,

last Sunday/ Dr. F. M. Masters. .He

was with us at the First Church, at

11 a. m. and spoke to a meeting of men

at the court house at 3 in the after-

noon and was with brother Hardee

at the Calvary Church at night.

We feel that his-visit was a bless-

ing and will bear fruit even in the

years to come. One little incident as

to the immediate results: We had

taken our collection for Christian Edu-

cation some time ago, and at the time

one member gave liberally and then

came back and voluntarily doubled

his amount, but even then, we lackei

some of the §1.00 per member that we

sought So when Dr. Masters' sermon

was over, this brother's wife, a timid,

but consecrated little woman, came

and asked me how much we lacked

getting pur full amount. When I told

her, she promptly said: "I will pay

that," though not "a word had heen

said about an offering. Today I :have

her check for the amount and witit

it comes a letter from her husband

which s^ys: "We are very happy over

the fact that we could give what we

have given to so worthy a cause."

-It rejoices this pastor's heart to

know that at least some of our people

are growing in the grace of giving till

they count it a privilege ' to give,

though it be for things away from our,

own door, and even come and ask the

opporunity to give. I think "things

are getting better."

We are to begin a revival meeting

Wednesday night .(April 7th). Evan-

gelist L. E. Finney is to be with us,.

I crave the prayers of all who see this
