In the days "heroic," when1to over.
come in battle, and subdue caeli other,
and bring home spoils with infinite
manslaughter, was held to be the
highest pitch of human glory" begins
the history Of the NJ. Z. Church, South
in Guthrie.
Its organizer and first pastor, Rev.
Stephenson, was followed by Revs.
Wimberly, Jamison and Wasson, all of
whom are talented, high-toued and
what is far better true Christian gem
tlemen.
II began with ten members, and
though yet small in numbers-the
smallest church perhaps in the city
it has had grace to draw a line, clear
and clean-cut, and take a stand
against the social evil so widely prac-
ticed throughout Christendom, known
as church entertainments.
Recognizing the fact that He who
formed the church militant also made
a law for her support, from henceforth
the NJ. + church, south, will receive
none but voluntary contributions.
The Ladies' Society, just organized,
is upon a different plan from that OF
most other churches: is grand thing
and worthy of emulation; is calculated
to build up the church, both spirit
ually aud financially. Would tell you
Of its plan of work, but my limited
space will not admit. Mrs l..

The pir-t Christian Cburrb


The First Christian church of Guth-
rie was organized soon after the OPEN
ing 10y j. NJ. Monroe. Bsts were se-
cured and the congregation, though
few in numbers, held regular services
under the leadership of their efficient
elder, Dick Il. Morgan Elder Tout
was very soon employed by the "home
missionary board" and the organiza-
tion consisting of about forty members.
The little band moved around from one
store building to another as oppor-
tunity afforded, until the spring of
1892, when they were housed in their
commodious edifce on the corner of
Cleveland and Vine streets, where they
have grown TO a memberships Of more
than three hundred and fifty members,
but removals to the open lands on all
sides have perhaps reduced that
number to a present membership of
one hundred and seventy-fve mem
bers
The Sunday school has always been
a prominent feature Of the church, and
is now doing the most substantial
work of its history. The Christian en-
deavor is one of the best in the ter
1itory, and is thoroughly alive to all
the interests of the church.
A very great degree Of the success Of
this church is due to the encourage
ment given by the ladies Of the mem
bership they now represent the
Ladies Aid society, giving their en-
ergies wholly to the work Of the
church at home. The Woman's Aux
ilary society, which is also represented
by the Bright Jewel band, Mission
ary society. Both of these societies
are interested in both home and
foreign work.
All things considered, the church is
in better condition than any time dur
ing its history. The membership, with
all its working forces, is wide awake
to the interests, both financial and
spiritual, and working as never before
for the upbuilding of the church.
Forward be our watchword,
Step and voices joined;
Seek the things before us,
Not a lock behind.
Forward through the desert,
Through the toll and fight;
Victory is before us
If our motives right.

For ladies who make Guthrie their
home and who are interested in its
welfare
There is a tendency and also a belief
among some ladies that, in dress par
ticularly, they can't be suited i'm the
town where their husbands make a
living, and whose business depends on
the success Of that town Guthrie
ladies are no worse than ladies Of
other towns the world over. In a
great mauy cases it is the fault Of the
merchants themselves, who do not
keep a stock OF goods there is a reason
able demand for, and who will not try
and procure special orders for ladies
who are desirous of trading at home
aud cannot find what they want

everything in dry goods and notions
that there is anything like o reason

stood among the ladies of Guthrie that
anything they cannot find at Ramsays,
Ramsays will always be glad to make
a special order for aud procure it as
quickly and as reasonable as it can be
had Ramsays will always be glad at
any time for any suggestions about
goods or styles or anything else the
ladies have to make.
Ramsay Brothers, who have stores
in Pistsburg, Kans., and Carthage,
Mo, came to Guthrie two years ago to
fill place they believe was vacant
that was to run store and keep
rything the people want, and sell
it as cheap as any city store Their
efforts have been appreciated and
their success has been remarkable.

Our General Assembly acted wisely
to-day in its selection OF judges.
With no intention to reflect upon the
integrity and ability of Judges Nor
ton and Fraser, for both of them are
the souls of honor, and their ability
and patriotism is acknowledged; but
as a change was determined upon, we
are proud that our Representatives
selected such men as Buchanan and
Earle. Especially are we proud of
the elevation of Joseph II. Earle to
the bench, for in him do we look for
the bringing about of kindlier feel
ing between the two factions now ex-
isting in the State. The elevation of
General Earle is proof conclusive that
the Reformers are willing to extend
the right hand of fellowship to those
who have the welfare Of the State at
heart. The Times is the first news
paper in the State that suggested
General Earle for the bench, and we
are satisfied from our knowledge of
the man and his public record that
the people viii always feel proud Of
the day that their Representatives
made him Judge.
