Is the Time to Gtt Rid of Th«s

Us* Spots

There's no longer the slightest need of

feeling ashamed of your freckles, as the

prescription othine—double strength—

is guaranteed to remove these homely

spots.

Simply get an ounce of othine—double

strength—from any druggist and apply

a little of it night and morning and

you should soon see that even the worst

freckles have begun to disappear, while

the lighter ones have vanished entirely.

It is seldom that more than an ounce

i a needed to completely clear the skin

and gain a beautiful clear complexion.

Be sure to ask for the double strength

othine as this is sold under guarantee of

money back if it fails to remove freckles.

"IT IS COLD IN THE TRENCHES."

Cheyenne, March 31st, 1915.

Dear Messenger:

The past year and a half we have

served the Cheyenne and StrongCity

churches as pastor, half-time each.

The Lord has graciously blessed my

;wprk on these fields.

The Mills -County Association is

composed of acounty and a half. The

1913 minutes show 17 baptisms. The

1914 minutes, 118, 77 of which in my

churches. : This year, the first six

months past with more than three-

fourths of the churches pastorless, and

no Association Missionary. Other or-

ganizations had slackened even us

much or more than our own.

In view of these facts, the churches

we serve released us for one Sunday-

each to do half-time missionary work

in the association.

; We did our first revival work at

Herring, beginning Saturday night be-

fore the third Sunday, continuing a

week and a day.

The village is on the C. & O. \V.f

some three years old in a fairly good

country, but was without a church or-

ganization, Sunday School, choir, or-

.ganist, six song books, two alike, no

song books from Cheyenne church.

Begun with short congregations, the

weather hindering. No day meetings,

the school being in the -way, but con-

siderable time used visiting homes.

Rev. J. A. Gray, now pastor at-Ham*

mon, rendered valuable aid from Mon-

day night to Saturady night; also peo-

ple of Cheyenne of all the churches

came to our rescue Jn song service.

Results: Thirteen conversions, many

reclaimed, all revived, Sunday School

organized, prayer meeting started, and

we will organize a church at 3 p. ml

second Sunday in April.

The community is stirred. Many

strong men, yet irreligious, came for-

ward for prayer at the last service,

and we have ample assurances that

the institutions being planted will be

sustained.

Our plan is to give a week to as

many places as possible, starting the

work, then when weather conditions

are better, have a two.weeks' meeting

here.

Did Pastor Mark Barna

We are in receipt of a letter from a brother who

rather thinks he did. This brother argues from the

fact that Pastor Mark was modest and did not

rush to tell the convention and the state board how

to run the work upon his first introduction to these

bodies, and from the fact that he was placed upon

the executive board, as it seems to this brother, be-

cause he was so docile.

"Harris says rings run everything, that in each

church there is a ring. The ring in a church, Har-

Last wek we stated that Rev. R. J. Tyler had

Rev. J. M. Dosher has resigned at Mountain

Park and accepted the call to the pastorate of the

Rev.. W. R. Owen says: "A Baptist is the

human product that is turned out by a reverent

reading of the New Testament."

Spring Creek church, in Concord Association,

raised $75.00 for the Home and Foreign Missions.

And Davis has sent in* thei;r apportionment of

T. J. Davis, Tecumseh: "Yesterday was our

Evangelist J. A. Scott, writing from Dallas,

of the campaign." We trust Dallas may enjoy a

large spiritual harvest.

, Billy, Sunday says: "Study, if you don't you

will soon be able to take your collar off over your

The church has gone from one Sunday to half time

and then the last two years to full time." This

is a splendid showing.

Dr. Alvin Swindell, of Frost, Texas, is aiding

Pastor-Guy in special meetings with the church at

Norman. Brethren Swindell and Guy were in the

Messenger offijce last Saturday and spoke most

hopefully of the outlook for the meeting. We sin-

cerely pray that it may please God to give the

church "at Norman a gracious revival.

M. C. Smith, Jr., Fargo: "Just closed a gra-

cious meeting with Mt. Zion church near Chaney,

Brother D. Ogle preaching. Five additions—four

by baptism and one by relation. There are good

prospects of others coming. A number of the un-

saved are under deep conviction."

Plan to go to Houston—round trip $18.70 from

Oklahoma City.

Gospel Singer W. G. Lewis, writing .from

Alton, says: "Meeting begins in a great way,

Evangelist English preaching to the delight of all

who come. Crowds are large.: We see the tracks of

the Messenger man, Harlingj in this town. Rev.

Thomas Smith is pastor and is doing a splendid

work. This is his seventh year."

James Gore, Woodward; Oklahoma: "Good

day here Sunday, two received and three baptized.

I have tendered my resignation here to take effect

the last of June. Neither the church nor the pastor

have any definite plans for the future, but are both

Lord in the way and place He assigns."

On account of the illness of Dr. L. R. Scar-

borough the ceremonies which were to have been

held on April 8th in connection with his installa-

tion as president of the Southwestern Baptist The-

ological Seminary, have ben indefinitely postponed.

We understand'that while the Doctor is quite ill it

is not necessarily serious, and we trust he will soon

be given his wanted health. i

The great Dr. Phillips Brooks in the follow-

ing reply to a question propounded, indicates the

secret of his greatness. He was asked what would

be the first thing he. would do if he had accepted

the call of a discouraged congregation that was not

even meeting current expenses. He replied: "The

first thing I would do would be to preach a sermon

on and ask the congregeation to take an offering

for Foreign Missions."

hen is cackling. And the Baptist mule is kicking.

And the Baptist horse is pulling.—Baptist and

Reflector. But the Baptist delinquent is not pay-

of church in good standing.

Brad Hayes, Woodford, Oklahoma: "Have

just returned from Poolville, Oklahoma. Here we

are going to build a church house.. We'have closed

the deal for the material and will begin work soon.

Poolville is-a small village twenty miles from the

So we are expecting great things to come to pass

at Poolville."

E. ;j. Blanton, colportjer and missionary of Paw-

starts off encouragingly; several requests for

prayer. He is teaching Dr. Burroughs' book, "Win-

chapter of Acts in connection therewith. He says

the work at Pawnee was greatly vitalized by the

If we can get twenty or more who will agree

to so together, we can get a through sleeper over

whether you prefer a lower or upper berth at the

price named. We ought easily to get enough per-

You can come from most any part of the State at.

the two-cent rate to Oklahoma City and purchase

vour round trip rate here without inconvenience or

to go together in that way but we will avoid the

danger of unpleasantness of being in crowded cars

en route.

Write me as early as you can if you wish me

to make reservation for you. If you do not go

with the party from Oklahoma City I advise that

you talk with your local agent about the rate long

enough ahead to give him time to obtain it, as it

often" happens that local agents are not posted.

THE HOME AND FOREIGN MISSION CAM-

PAIGN.

Why Should Every Church Give To Missions?

This is a question that should interest every

honest man and woman who wants to know their

duty to the Lord in the affairs of the kingdom. If

\ve'give a certain amount from a state is not that

sufficient? In other words am I not excused from

giving if others in Oklahoma give enough to make a

fair amount? Is not my church: with its other bur-

dens eexcusable when Oklahoma has given ^so

much? Not unless the person so reasoning is will-

ing to grant to the other the rewards of the serv-

ice to the ones that bear the burdens.

1. Because the command is to every church.

No Baptist church would for a minute think of giv-

ing up baptizing people because so many persons

had been baptized by other Baptist churches. The

command to baptize and the command to give the

gospel are in the same commission. It is just as

imperative and Baptistic for every church to do

the one as the other". \'

• \

2. Because the blessing bestowed cannot coir e

by proxy. The giving ,church is certainly blessed

in its giving. That cannot be gainsaid. If you

want to look at it front;the selfish standpoint you

cannot be developed and you cannot develop Chris-

tian character in your people without this giving.

This is the genius of Christianity. Let a pastor

go to a Church that has been in the habit of giving

to missions and adopt the policy of not giving and

he will ruin .the influence of his church for its own;

local tasks. A church cannot do the right filing

for its own community that does not try to do:the

right thing for the world. "There" is that scat-

tereth, and incfeaseth yet more; and there is that

withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only

to want/'

3. Because .the world's need demands it.

Scripture, experience and need all unanimously call

for giving on the part of our churches. Will we be

loyal and do now the thing-that our Lord asks of

US?.

Remember we have but two more Sundays be-

fore the campaign closes for Home and Foreign

Missions. The books close April 30. "Money should

reach the office of the Secretary before that date

if possible. We are to raise $19,000.00 for Home

and Foreign Missions this year. The undivided

funds will be divided on the basis of $12 for Home

and $7 for Foreign Missions. May I urge that

every church do its duty in this campaign? As

Lord Nelson stood on the bridge_of his flagship just

before the battle of Trafalgar he made a speech to

the men of his command and in its conclusion he

said: "Men, England expects every man to do

his dtuty." Tfiat message led his men to success

and victory at Trafalgar. In his words I say to the

Baptists of Oklahoma in this great campaign: Our

Lord expects every member to do his duty. Will

you and your church do yours?

THE STORY OF A REMARKABLE CONVERSION

It was my pleasure to be with the good church at

Roosevelt last Tuesday night, April 6tht and speak on

missions and education. Whele there I was entertained

in the home of Brother K. B. Ford, the^ missionary of the

"Kiowa Association. Dr, Ford was a practicing physician

and surgeon up to last July when he was gloriously con^

verted,land in January was ordained to the mipistry and

became missionary of the Kiowa Association. He is doing

* -'a-.great work. The story of his conversion was so thrilling

to me that I asked him to give it for The Messenger.

Much is made of Christian experience in the New Testa-

ment; it should be no less emphasized today. This story

of God's grace in saving this man is given with my prayer

that it may strengthen the faith of the readers in the

sovereign grace of God.

The following is the story given in Dr. Ford's own

language.—F. M. Masters.

THE STORY OF MY CONVERSION.

: •

' . ,

(K. B. Ford.)

When about fifteen years of age I conceived my first

ambition to "live religious/' and, during a meeting, united

with a church, was immersed, and began the task of living

good enough to merit salvation. I had been an average

boy as to morals and was absolutely unconscious of any

need .of repentance, although I do remember "asking for-

giveness" for a few definite wrongdoings of which I felt

guilty. Today I am absolutely unable to visualize in mem-

ory either my immersion or reception into that church.

In my scheme of religion, as I remember it, Jesus

Christ had no place at all as Savior, but rather was given

place as a sort of high ideal to be kept in mind and

striven toward.

About two years later I was sent to a denomination

school for college work.

The Professor of Old Testament Hebrew (an adherent

of higher criticism), lectured to certain classes of us at

/stated intervals upon the Old Testament

Lectures on the book .of Job, etc., were from the

"higher critic" standpoint and before the second semester

ended my confidence in the inspiration and Divine author-

ship of the Bible was gone.

I do not blame the D. D. (?) mentioned, for ALL ot

the results that followed, for I was merely an unregen-

erate boy and had nothing WITHIN to sustain me against

the insidious arguments to which I had listened and which

my unregenerate mind "heard with gladness/'

I kept up religious work, in a desultory m^pner, for

a couple of years and finally having arrived at absolute

"rationalism" denounced it and stepped "OUT" (which was

EXACTLY where I belonged).

The refined type of infidelity which began in a pseudo-

religious school was given a new direction by the next

move in an educational way, as it was only a couple of

years later that I entered Medical College, where in four

years I took my Doctor's degree, and by which time I had

reached the bed-rock of materialism. Having descended

by the easy stairway of Unitarianism, New Trought (Budd-

hism), Spiritualism, Skepticism of the Agnostic type, and

finally (as a relief from that), absolute Materialism,

I do not need to assure you that my morals and habits

of life conformed to my philosophy in all its various

stages of evolution (DEGENERATION). For every adult

LIVES TRUE to the REAL philosophy and beliefs of his

heart, regardless of what he may be posing to believe

"As a man thinketh in his heart so IS he." LITERALLY,

ALWAYS, and WITHOUT exception. His conduct is only T

modified by exigencies and opportunity.

,- I spent a number of years in the practice of my

chosen profession in a Western city, and attained to some

small prominence as a surgeon. During those years I saw

much of 1 Adam's race .and their ways and thus became

flie more fixed in my materialistic notions. I made a

jgreat deal of money and spent a great deal as welL Over-

work led to intemperance and natural inclinations intensi-

fied that practice until finally I found myself breaking in

health and traveled about a great deal, over the continent,

seeking a restoration of physical vigor. Financial reverses

and misfortunes other than falling health also impaired my

efficiency; as a surgeon until at last I decided to go to the

country and rest from practice for a full year.

interest myself as well as havej a reason for living in the

open—but no thought in the wprld but that I would, in a

few months, resume my practice. When we went out

on the farm I had not heard a sermon in fifteen years, and

had no desire to hear one. J regarded preachers as belong-

ing to two classes only, part of them deluded fools and

part merely parasites.

My philosophy of life, along [with the bitter experiences

of my own life, and the reaction from insemperance had

all conspired to produce frequent and profound attacks

of mental depression bordering iipoii melancholia in which

annihilation seemed eminently desirable.

During the summer wife occasionally suggested going

to church on Sunday'evening, to which I always objected.

When wife and I were married i the common ground upon

which we met was that "neither of us believed anything."

One Saturday my oldest boy, aged sixteen, and who

had been chumming with a young fellow of whose-Jiabits I

.did not approve, spoke of his chum—calling him by name—

and saying: "Bill went forward last night, over at the

meeting," (That was the first knowledge I had that any

meeting was in progress). Instead of replying as usual,;

however, I remember saying: "Well if it will help 'Bill* he

any better boy I guess it's all right"

SundSy morning "Bill" came along and took my boy

away for the day and Sunday j evening wife again sug-

gested going to church. I consented and we came in and

found the meeting was being held under an "arbor." We

entered and found seats about half way back and on the

aisle. I heard the singing, opening prayers, testimonials

and scripture lesson with indifference.

sThe pastor, J. M. Dosher, announced hfs text: "Lust

when it is conceived bringeth forth sin and sin when it is

finished bringeth from death." The text is ALL I heard—

for with the lext like a rapier God pierced my heart and in

a flash I saw the whole sin problem and my place in it I

have heard many sermons, sound and sweet, from that

pastor since then, but t^at is ONE I DIDN'T hear. The

Holy Spirit took that text and! pierced my heart again

and again and belabored my quivering senses until I was

beaten to the very earth with itl

The preacher finished his discourse and people" arose

to sing. When he made an invitation my oldest boy

passed by us on HIS way to the front seat, while I had

one foot in the ajsle. I followed and nearly beat him

there and wife came on:a trot trying to keep up.

There on the sod, conscious only of an offended and

sin-avenging God I cried for mercy until an old retired

preacher came and'told me of! JESUS (not "Jesus the

ideal" BUT JESUS THE SAVIOR), whom in my dilemma

I had entirely forgotten and lost sight of.

Then and there God in mercy met my waiting soul

which had laid hold upon JESU$ CHRIST THE SAVIOR

and I was "born again," regenerated, SAVED. Tender and

loving hands received, cared for, and fed the new born

babe in Christ, and encouraged exercise as strength came.

Everybody in the country for miles around ^was sur-

prised that a "hardened old infidel" should be converted,

with ONE EXCEPTION and that Exception was a neighbor

woman WHO HAD PRAYED WITHOUT CEASING, for

wife and roe from the day she became acquainted with us.

She was in the meeting that night and WHEN WE CAME

IN "KNEW" that her prayer was going to be answered.

Little by little in the next few days I came to "SEE"

tb§ cross of Calvary and the Christ ot God; to "SEE"

Jesus keeping the WHOLE LAW for me, iii his life-

paying MY penalty upon the cross, in his death; to "SEE"

him conquering death for me, three days after the Divine

tragedy upon Golgotha, and to j"SEE" my risen Savior

ar. my advocate, interceedng until: he should come again to

redeem my sin-ruined body.

Before I found salvation, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, '

I settled,.quickly, and^for all time anl eternity, the Divin-

ity1 of Christ and Divine inspiration of the Bible—the

Word of God—and final authority knd court of last resort—

THEN "infidelity" dissolved away Into nothing and old

viewpoints and conclusions appeared clearly for what

they were.

;

I soon learned of "The Comforter," whom He promised

to send and committed the very Details of my life to Him

for guidance and service.

, | :

Six months later he called! me to be a messenber

of the King in his Kingdom. He provides the messages

—I just carry them. It is a swe'et service.

Wife and son were saved, too, and home IS home.

Living IS living for the first time.

The old depression is replaced "by a heavenly, exalta-

tion, and hopelessness by a sure jhope.

SUNDAY SCHOOL DEPARTMENT.

(Conducted by W. D. Moorer, D. D.)

The following-notes: are hastily thrown together at

the last minute by the editor;

THE SHAWNEE TRAINING SCHOOL AND REVIVAL.

THE SHEPHERD'S PSALM.

Lesson For Apili! 18thr—Ps. 23.

This psalm like John 3:16, is so rich and abundant

that it is: difficult and daiigerous for a mere man to under-

take to expound it, and yet we may gather some blessed

heart throbs as we meditate together upto it

The very heart of the psalm is found in the first

few words: "The Lord is my shepherd," Of course, if

He really is, we cannot want any good thing, for it is

the shepherd's business to cari for the sheep. Let us

think who our shepherd .is. In the twenty-second psalm

we get a picture of Him as the good shepherd, giving His

life for the sheep. In the twenty-fourth psalm we catch

the note of triumph of the chief shepherd coming again

for the sheep.

But in between these mountain top experiences is the

valley of "now", and in His resurrection power death is

only a shadow^ and He is with us and we are passing

through it with* Him. "

Again as we look at this world, not the article of

death alone, this world with its disappointments, its sor-

rows, ; and gloom, we may reckon them all as mere

shadows, and realize the conquering faithful shepherd as

ever at hand.

Yes, more than that He ^firids the bright spots for us,

the green pastures, the quiet waters. "Take my yoke

upon you and you shall find rest unto your souls."

Then the table in the presence of our enemies re-

minds us of the promise that "My God shall supply all

you need according to His riches in glory through Christ

Jesus the Lord."

For sadness He will give us Joy. The anointed head

means the Joy of the Spirit Our cups will be too small;

they will overflow, and we shall never be unattended, but

goodness and mercy, the hand-maidens of the Lord will

ever be near, and oh! we shall dwell in the house of the

- Lord forever. "Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place

(our home) in all generations." Until we find this out

we are strangers and foreigners.

USE THIS BROTHER.

Dear Brother Stealey:—

; *

. " , • • /

Will you kindly permit th|s announcement to the

Brotherhood of our State? "Some of us have felt for a

long time the need of ah evangelist for Oklahoma. We

have many pastors who "serve acceptably in this capacity,

hut it is not always possible to secure them. Fortunately

we have \n the person of Brother G. E. Kennedy, who has

recently come to our State, one who is giving all of his

time to evangelistic work. He is a man with extraordinary

gifts of both mind and heart. Having heard him on

several occasions, I most heartily recommend him to all

the brethren who need an evangelist. • He is cultured,

orthodox and intensely spiritual. But few m'en have

such a masterly grip on God's word and- no man of my

acquaintance surpasses him in the divine art of soul-

winning.

\ ,\:

. v

pr. T. P. Stafford' of the Kansas City Theological

Seminary says: "The:Ix>rd has bestowed on G. E. Ken-

nedy special evangelistic gifts. His preaching honors the

word of God. He is fearless in declaring a whole gos-

.pel."

T. T. Martin, the celebrated evangelist, has recently

said: "Brother G. E. Kennedy is one of the greatest reap-

ers in America."

_ Prof. P. L. Streeter of Armourdale says:

"Brother

Kenedy is the most satisfactory helper I have ever had.

He knows how to strengthen the backbone of the church

and io establish the pastor In his office."

Brother Licklider of our Olivet church, who'has just

closed a meeting -with Brother Kenedy, says: v "So skill-

On March 14th, the pklahoma Baptist University Train-

ing School began its firs't session tn the meeting house of

the First Baptist Church of Shawnee. Brethren Burroughs,

Moorer and Rounds were with us from the first. Brother

Burroughs preached for us, both morning and evening of

the first day. Each day after that for five .days Brother

Burroughs lectured twice on Winning to Christ; Brother

iMoorer twice on Sunday School Methods and Management,

and Brother Rounds twice onthe B. Y. P. TL Manual.

Prom first to last it was a feast of good things. Each

lecturer did his part well. Quite a delegation came from

Tecumseh each day and there were a few from different

parts of the state., A large number did regular, class

work and took the examination in the subject studied. .All

were enlightened an4 enthused with the school. We-are

coming more and more to* take the Lord's work more seri-

ously and to prepare to do it In the best way. Our people

are already looking forward to the training: school next

year. Sunday School teachers and officers, and B. Y. P. tj.

workers from all over the state should arrange tovbe here,

, Prom the Training School our church went right into

a revival meeting. Brother Moorer preached for us Sunday

morning and Brother Rounds Sunday evening. They both

brought helpful messages and the Lord blessed. Brother

J. Edward Johnson, Waxahachie, Texas, came to us on

Monday and remained with us two weeks. We had an

unusual amount of sickness and much of the time-the

weather was bad. Brofter Johnson brought us great Gos-

pel messages, the people prayed'and worked, and God gave

the victory. I do not know how many professions, but

there have been ninety-nine additions to the/church. [I

baptized sixty last Monday night in the presence of a house

full of interested people. There are eighteen others that

'stand approvd for baptism. Many others Save made a

profession that have not yet joined.

We -had mountain-top experiences the two Sundays

that Brother Johnson was with us. There were eighty

professions in the Sunday School the first Sunday and

forty-eight the second. Our Sunday School officers and

teachers love God and they are on the job to do business

for Him.

Brother Johnson is one of the best Gospel preachers

it has ever been my privilege to have with me in a mee't-

Ihg. He is a great preacher. He is sane and practical.

He is spiritual and a hard worker. He loves God and

men and* goes after men to win them to Christ. He is a

lovable character and agreeable to work with.- He has

recently resigned his church and accepted work with the

Foreign Mission Board to help raise the Judson Centen-

nial fund. He has a large plaice in the hearts of my people

and they will pray for him as he goes about this difficult

but important work. My people are encouraged and it is

our purpose to try to keep the rivival fires burning all the

year round.- - -... *

On the second Sunday of the meeting we took our

offering for Home, Foreign and Associational Missions and

raised 10 per cent more than our apportionment. We had

a meeting of our Associational committee yesterday and

arranged to reach all of our churches in this association

for Home and Foreign Missions. Every individual Baptist

in Oklahoma ought to be reached, and each one should give;

to the limit Let's all bbhave ourselves like Christian

men and loyal Baptists and the thing will be done and

the Master will be pleased.

TOPICS FOR SUNDAY, APRIL 8, 1915.

B. Y. P. U. QUARTERLY TOPIC.

JUNIOR QUARTERLY TOPIC,

PAUL A PRISONER.

If you can tell the story of John Bunyan show the

children a picture of a prison or draw one on the black-

board with its iron bars and small windows. Paul in such

as this for preaching the gospel! «He was a prisoner in

three different places. Have the children bring their public

school geographies and locate on both the public school

and Bible maps these places. Close with a picture of how

Paul made a prison a pulpit. If you can draw the picture

of a prison small do so, then larger right over the prison

draw a pulpit.

SUNBEAM TOPIC.

(Supplied.)

•

...

"What Can You See?1'—Matt. 9:1-8.

Read "this lesson to the Sunbeams, then ask them what

they could see in this lesson.

» After getting several answers show what different

persons saw in this lesson.

Scribes in verse 3 saw what was not there—blasphemy

in Jesus.

The men that brought this man saw in Jesus a healer.

Verse 2.

The multitudes" saw a miracle. Verse 8.

But what did Jestis see—their faith—verse 2. Their

thoughts—verse 3. Jesus can look down into our hearts.

Let us try to see like Jesus.

NOTES AND SUGGESTIONS.

Washington Avenue, Oklahoma City, reports the first

A-l Junior in the state. They have a great Junior Union.

/Re d Oak and Afton report A-l this quarter. They

are the only ones reporting so far this quarter,

- The First Church B. Y. P. U., Muskogee, are supporting

a young lady in the Training School, Louisville.

The Union at Red Oak Is going to set out shade trees

and ma&e a cinder walk to the main street from their

Church. They are doing some good, practical work.

doradoNe.

w Unions have been organized at Frederick and El-

Doctrinal Meeting-*—Can a Man Be Saved Without Christ?

This is a question that the world has tried to solve

ever since Christ—yea, ever since sin entered the world.

But the only answer we can give, after mature thought, is

NO. Why?

.. 1, Because the Scriptures so distinctly teach. "What

x must I do to he saved? Believe on the Lord JeJsus Christ

and thou shalt he saved." Acts 16: 30-31, "There is none

other name given under heaven among men whereby we

must be saved." "For there is salvation in none other."

2. Because experience so teaches. After a life's search

for other means of salvation, oh, how many admit their

failure! "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man

but the ^end thereof are the ways of death."

3. Because it is reasonable and right. Could you ask

a man to provide you more than one way of escape from a

burning building? Could you expect a physician to provide

more than one sure cure from an awful affliction? Could

you expect God—after paying such a great price—to provide

more than one means of salvation?

Make known to the world it's one Savior.

NEWS ITEMS.

A recent letter from our former Field Worker, Miss

Mattie Curtis, says ste is still resting in the home of her

parents and is now gaining strength rapidly. Her many

friends in Oklahoma will be glad to know that she is

regaining her heath.

It is always a pleasure to hear from our former re-

sording secretary Mrs, Kizzie Halsted now of Ottawa, Kan.,

In a recent offering for Home and Foreign Missions from

Mrs, Halsted and her mother sueaks louder than words

of their abiding Interest in our work in Oklahoma. Her

daughter, Miss Grace, is enjoying the privileges and oppor-

tunities of the Baptist University in Ottawa.

The Sunday School of Olivet Baptist Church, Oklahoma

City, on a recent Sunday, observed "Missionary Day1'

and.the offering amounted to more than $40.00.

Let us do a little problem in Arithmetic. If there are

800 Sunday Schools in Oklahoma and each one gave ?20.00

to Home and Foreign Missions, how much would they all

give If you cannot solve this problem, don't blame the

S. S. The children will do their part if the leaders and

teachers do theirs.

Mrs. Lambkin, of Mannsville, writes of the plan of

work in their Society: It is excellent. They meet each

week and havs a "Missionary Day," a "Home Day," a

therMrse is

only one attraction there, which is a pool hall, run by

a bootlegger. God speed the day when Oklahoma will-

abolish these places which are constantly luring the boys

into paths of sin.

The pastor's wife at Wakita, Mrs. Cornelius, writes of

a most interesting plan they have to reach all their mem-

bers with mission study, she says:

We have several ladies who live in the country who

feel that they cannot get in every time to our study. We

have enrolled these ladies as home members. We call

this our home department work in-the study. These ladies

have ordered books, and have agreed to study regularly

and attend when possible.

•

We expect to ask these, ladies when it is impossible

to be present to write put on paper their ideas regard the

lesson we are studing at that time.

The town members expect to go to th country occa-

sionally and meet with these who cannot get in; This will

create a greater interest among the country members. Also

provide outing for those who live in town. Furnishing a

splendid social feature in the work.

Rev. Geo, L. Hale, for several years pastor -of

the Immanuel church, this city, but for the past

three years pastor of the Fifth Street Baptist

church, Hannibal, Mo., has reseigned to give all

of his time to evangelistics work. The church was

very loathe to give him up—he had'been wonder-

fully blessed there, more than six hundred having

been added to the church during the three years of

his pastorate. He will live at Hannibal.

Remember we lurnish any song book you wish,

particularly the "World Evang'el," "Immaturel's

Praise/' and the "New Evangel." They cost you tio

more to order-from us.

Undesignated funds will be divided in the ratio

of $12.00 for Home and $7.00 for Foreign Missions;

Brother preacher,\ are you going to help us

reach the five thousand mark? If so, when? V

We are in earnest about reaching five thou-

sand by May 1st. Many friends of The Messenger

we are sure will be willing to help on the follow-

ing basis who have rib time or inclination to can-

vass but want to see the paper succeed. Send us

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

the balance of the year. This proposition is good

only for individuals who pay for others.

We have just gotten in a good supply of, this

most interesting story, by Dr. J. M. Sallee. Many

regard it as one of the very best books that has

. been written to teach important doctrines in story

form. It deals some desperate blows to Campbell--

GUARDING OTHER PEOPLE'S POCKETBOOKS.

(By

^*^^^^^^^*+^^^

J. F. Love.

m ..

)

*»

\t a great men's meeting in Atlanta the other day a

lavman made a significant remark. He said his pastor had

objected to the presentation of the Judson Centennial to

his people because they were not able to contribute to it

at this time, and that he had told his pastor that he and

other members of the church were entitled to information

about all such Christian enterprises in which their brethren

were engaged. He said further,:HI.-told my pastor 'you

need not keep guard on our pocketbooks; we laymen are

able to do that."'

I did not know the layman and do not know who his

pastor is, but his remarks, and especially the last, are I

think, deeply significant and worthy of serious considera-

tion. There are some-brethren who could study that state-

ment with profit. In almost every church there is some-

one, who when a worthy cause is mentioned, begins at once

to p'ut up defenses, not for himself only, but for the pocket-

books of other members of the church. Objection is raised

to any generous response to an object proposed, whether

it be foreign mission, Christian education or whatso-

ever, on the ground that the times are hard or current

expenses are behind, or the familiar and convenient de-

fense is made that the church debt must be paid. That

is to say that objector grows boldly patriotic in guarding

the pocketbooks of those-who"might, in spite of conditions

with which they are as familiar as he, want to give to the

needy cause which seeks relief. This is often done by good

men and sometimes by men who give liberally of their own

means. The act is not always prompted by stinginess, but

by over-caution, and, we hope, without due consideration.

Pastors and "church officers ought scrupulously to

guard the churches and individuals against irresponsible

beggars and unmeritorious appeals. There Is an rmy of

self-appoir**d peripatetics, usually foreigners, though not

always, scattered over the country, and seeking admittance

to pulpits and Christian homes, and making pathetic ap-

peals for various^ objects, but with a view to personal gain.

Southern Baptists have thrown away many thousands of

dollars upon these deceivers, while their own causes have

suffered. Our people ought to be guarded against these,

but guard duty ought to stop' there,,. Going beyond this

and objecting to anyone hearing about A cause fostered

by the denomination, and represented by a brother who is

known to the church or has the endorsement of the

brotherhood, is the matter under discussion.

Now I venture to say that the man who does guard

duty of somebody else's pocketbook against a good cause

thus authenticated, be he preacher or layman, assumes a

dangerous risk. He is liable to be made to answer to God

for restraining somebody from doing a Christlike deed, and

thereby hurting the Christian character of a brother. If

a good cause comes my way seeking friends, and I am not

myself able to help'it*. I may say $0 frankly, but I should

say it kindly, gently, thoughtfully, endeavoring not to

hurt the feelings or to chill the zeal of the pastor or some

other brother who represents it. 1 ought not ever to do

this until I have heard the Lord's servant state the case.

Certainly beyond this I dare not go. ,If I cannot give,

somebody else may be able to do so, and it is- not part of

my duty to determine what my brother's duty is in such

a case. I nm under the most solemn religious obligation

both to the good cause and to my Christian brother to let

him hear the case on its merits and to decide for himself

his personal duty. I may, and probably ought to_go

further than this, and while expressing my regret that I

cannot help the pause for reasons which satisfy my con-

science, or help il as much as it merits, I can and do com-

mend it to any of my brethren who are able to help it,

and ask that they will give it a prayerful Christian con-

sideration. This much I owe to a - Christian cause, and

also to my brethren for their largest development in the

Christlike habit of giving., God has never appointed any

man to keep other people from doing generous deeds, and

a man who appoints himself to such an office has under-

taken a hazardous business. ^Jesus put no word of warn-

ing or discouragement into the ear of the widow when she

v-*as ready to give all she possessed; He appointed no guar-

dian to keep such generous souls from overdoing the

thing. We have not yet developed a class of church mem-

bers anywh.ere so generous that they need anybody to curb

their generous impulses.; In other words, wtien it comes to

spending money for ^Christ, pur brethren do not need *ns

'to guard their pbcketbbote.. They can take care of them

ana usually do/ We have seen thousands hurt by thfe

money they withheld from good causes ana spent on them-

selves, but never saw one man who was hurt by his gifts

to God and Christian enterprises. No one needs another

to restrain him from'doing good, or to guard him against

appeals to do it

"•.->--"'

If these lines fall under the eye of anyone who is

in the habit of doing this thing, we commend to him the

words of the Georgia layman. They deserve to be prayed

over, and to go into your= scrapbook, or, perhaps, to be

placed in your Bible at II Cor. 8: 1-7, where Paul approves

arid encourages liberality even in the very poor and afflict-

ed people/ and admonishes such to abound in it as in"

faith and other graces. He was no more afraid that they:

would overdo it in their giving than he was that they

would overdo it in the exercise of their faith. It might

be well to look up Mark 14: 3-9, and IITJohn (MO. i '

Paul, like his Lord, seems never to have found'any-

body so poor or under such straitened circumstances that

he was afraid to appeal to them for the liberal support

of a good cause, ft is pretty safe to follow'the examples

of the Savior and of his servant PauL It is not safe

to act contrary to both their example and their admonition;

We may well heed the warning of the Georgia layman

against guarding other people's pocketbooks; ani let all

, men have all the light and motives they can get for doing

their best for good causes. To hinder other people from

doing good or to deny them the motives and opportunities

for doing it, is a serious matter. I would affectionately;

entreat my brethren to refrain from it Many who fcan

give but little get great reward to themselves by; doing

what they can and then encouraging everybody elseyto do

their best We owe our brethren a good example and

admonition for every good.cause. He wno restrains "any-

on e from doing good does wrong himself.

Character Worth Copying

His eyes were bright with intelli-

kindliness, and with the well-bred hab-

it of giving complete attention to oth-

talked with them.—Juliana H. Ewing.

Couldn't Freaze Him

A subaltern was marching along

with his company. He was very 5Toung,

and his men evidently thought him

inexperienced, so they struck up "A

little child shall lead them, lead them

gently home." When they had finished

he halted the company and said,

"Now we'll have that verse over again."

Our great revival which the Lord

gave us closed last night. We held a

five weeks' meeting,, the best that

church ever had. It was \my happy

privilege to do the preaching.

The

church stood by me loyally. /The Lord

was with us in great power: from the

beginning to the end. Many hearts

and homes have been made happy.

Some of the very best men and women

have been converted and have united

with the church.

Our gospejl tieam did fine /work.

A better class of men aad women

cannot be found. I am happy in my

work with this* good church. ' There

were 5S conversions and 48 additions

—7 by letter and 41 by baptism.

The church is now on .higher

ground. This Is my sixth year as

pastor. I am rejoicing with my

brethren because of the great meet-,

ing which the Lord has. given us.

To Him belongs all the glory and all

the praise,

I pray the Lord to abundantly bless

his work throughout this great State

and the world.

God bless the editors and readers

of the Messenger.

SALTS IF BACKACHY

AND KIDNEYS HURT

Drink Lots of Water and Stop Eating

Meat FOP a While If your Blad-

der Troubles You.

When you wake up with backache

and dull misery in the kidney region

it generally means you have been eat-

ing too much meat, says a well-known

authority. Meat forms uric acid which

overworks the kidneys in their effort

to filter it from the blood and th^y

become sort of paralyzed and loggy.

When your kidneys get sluggish and

clog you must relieve them, Uke you

relieve your bowels; removing all the

body's urinous waste, else you have

backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;

your stomach sours,-tongue is coated,

and when the weather Is bad you have

rheumatic twinges. The urine is

cloudy, full of sediment, channels of-

ten get sore, water scalds and you are

obliged to seek relief'two or three

times during the night

Etther consult a good reliable physi-

cian at once or get from your phar-

macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;

take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa-

ter 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

tor generations to clean and stimulate

sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize

acMs in the urine so it no longer'irri-

tates, thus ending bladder weakness.

Jad Salts la a life saver for regular

meat eaters. It Is inexpensive, cannot

injure and makes a delightful, effer-,

Descent lithia-water drink.

which was unpaid.

Sunday was the best service we have

had In many respects, good congrega-

PASTOR BOLING'S RESIGNATION

PAS

REJECTED.

Than Two-thirds Majority

Glares He Must Stay.

De-

Our pastor, Wm. J. Doling, on last

Sunday at the close of the morning's

services, read his resignation, as pas-

tor of the church, to the congregation,

but as the majority was opposed to ac-

cepting the resignation, the matter was

tabled until the evening services.

When at the evening service the ques-

tion was put before the members,

and the vote taken, the result was by

more than two-thirds majority In fa-

vor of rejecting the pastor's resigna-

tion.

After the benediction, many crowd-

ed around the pastor and plead with

him to reconsider the situation and to

withdraw his resignation. But the

statement from Rev. Holing, was that

he could not do so as he had prayer-

fully pondered over It before and

that it had come entirely from. his

heart, and that he thought God was

leading in the steps he had taken.

Rev. Boling has been our pastor for

seven months, and during that time

it is believed by all, that Tie has ac-

complished more and done more good

than any man In this part of the city,

though some have stayed for years.

Our membership has been increased

more than three hundred per cent.

(300%) during Bro. Boling's pastor-

ate, and under his preaching, here in

Wichita, one hundred and ninety-seven

(197)

souls have been led to Christ,

God has mightily used him'here and

we trust he will continue to jdo so.

Brother Boling has many friends in

tihs city, who regret very much to

see him go, and their prayers are that

God may lead him to the work that

he has for him to do.

Fraternally. yours,

BENNETT M. TINER,

Church Clerk.

has descovered a method of destroy-

pests by the use of mercury. In in-

closed spaces the mercury is employed

in the form of vapor. In other cases

it is Injected In metallic forifa direct-

only not disturbed, but Is in most

How close to our hearts are the

memories of ;our childhood. When

you were a barefooted little urchin;

running in the grass, and munching

green apples, you were able to digest

anything and feel all right the next

diy. Sunshine and good air gave you ;

an appetite. For many people it is

blood into the system by taking the

and good air, and for those who are

doomed* to sit for hours within four

walls, perhaps alongside the consump-

tives or those suffering,from catarrh

or other disease, it means sickness;

and ill-health. Indigestion is1 only one

of the many symptoms of impure

blood as well as a disordered con-•

dition of the stomach. Fifty: years

ago, Dry Pierce, of the Invalids*;Hotel;

and * Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N.

Y.^ found that certain barks and roots

manufactured by using glycerine with-

out the use of alcohol or opiates, made

called Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical

Trouble With Limburger

The trouble with Limburger cheese

is that its smell assassinates its de-

licious taste. A Pennsylvania man

stated that the outside of the cheese

is the part that smells objectionably,

and that if this part is cut off in

chunks, sliced and given a few sec-

onds of immersion in hot water the

smell will he destroyed, leaving,the

taste unimpaired. The inside of the

cheese, he says, needs no treatment

I Value of a Hearty

When a man laughs heartily there

is at change in the character of his

blood like unto that of high oxygeniz.

ation. And, as A matter of fact the

mere merchanical action does oxygen

ize the blood, providing, of course

that; the person is in tlie open or a

well ventilated room; but this phe-

nomenon, due to laughter, is more

psychic than physical.

Hindcrance to Progress.

Nothing so hinders us in what we

are doing to be longing after some-

thing else; in so doing, we leave off

tilling our own field, to tfrive the plow

through our neighbor's land, where we

must not look to reap a harvest; and

this is mere waste of time. If our

thoughts and houes are eleswhere, it

is impossible for us to set our faces

steadily towards the work required of

us.—St. Francis *de Sales.

The Favorite Flower

reason why violets are the fav-

orite flowers of the world is that they

belong to sweet weeds and dooryard

gardens. We can plant, tend and pick

them oulselves, make borders for our

walks, fringe a brook or star a cor-

ner of the lawn with their flecks of

deep reach blue. Year after year they

will come to remind us of our first

planting.—The Craftsman.

Grows on Telegraph Wires

There is a form of plant which

grows on telegraph wires. It has no

roots, but derives its nourishment

from the air, and prefers elr'ctric

wires to the nourishing earth. The

seed of the plant—which when fully

grown resembles an orchid—is carried

to the wire by birds and insects.

Drink and Live Long

According to a Roumanian scientist,

anyone may live* to be a hundred, bar-

ring accidents, if he drinks enough

water. This scientist claims to hare

demonstrated that old age is due to

"a decrease in the amount of water in

ththe system. He contends that old

Father Time may be checkmated by

systematic water drinking during mid-

dle age.

WANT A PASTOR?

The writer knows of a pastor in

Texas who would like to come to

Oklahoma, and he is an excellent man,

well educated, eloquent, practical, ef-

ficient, and thoroughly orthodox. He

is just in the useful prime of life, has

an excellent wife who is a real pas-

tor's assistant As a pulpit orator and

preacher, he is among the best, and

as a pastor, he is as faithful to his

church as ever Jonathan was to

David. Any church securing the ser-

vices of this noble man of God will

do well. The pastor of whom I write

is Henry E. Summers, now pastor at

Liven up your sluggish liver! Feel

fine and cheerful; make your work a

pleasure; be vigorous and full of ambi-

tion.

But take .jio nasty, dangerous

calomel because it makes you sick and

you may lose a day's work.

Calomel is mercury or quicksilver

which't causes necrosis of the bones.

Calomel crashes into sour bile like

dynamite, breakkig it up. That's when

you feel that awful nausea and cramping.

Listen to me! If you want to enjoy

the nicest, gentlest liver and bowel

cleansing you ever experienced just take

a spoonful of harmless Dodsoa's Liver

Tone tonight. Your druggist or dealer

sells you a 50 cent bottle of Dodson's

Liver Tone under my personal money-

back guarantee that each spoonful will

clean your sluggish l\ver better than a

dose of nasty calomel and that it won't

make you sick.

DodsonV Liver Tone is /real liver

medicine. You'll know it next morning

because you will wake up feeling fine,

your liver will be working; headache

and dizziness gone; stomach will be

sweet and bowels regular.
