Although [ am not an advanl agent
for any Of the different denominations
In Chicago, would venture to say that
there is an opening for two expert pipe
organists in this city. Some of our
very proficient organists are out of the
city for the summer-and probably for
moro than years time, as the girls are
making from ten to fifteen dollars per
week for one and one. half hours work.
The Institutional church started out
with Swedish lady at the organ; and
some young man had the nerve to play
at Quinn Chapel Sunday night although
he was aware of the fact that he knew
nothing about the organ. He started
to play something that sounded like the
introduction TO the "Chimes of Nor
mandy" and after he had spent about
two minutes playing two pedals at
time, he lost his balance entirely and
fell down flat on the chrematic scale
and thumped up and down that elegant
big pipe organ making a note sound
here and there like an ACCORDION that
has every key broken but the third and
fifth. Where this anxious organist
came from don't know as I haven't
seen him since. although he got well

GAVE EXCELLENT ADDRESS
Judge w. C. Ewing DiscOursed OF
Christian ~c.ence Last Night.


A large number of people were at the
Auditorium last night to hear an adj
dress by Judge William G. Ewing on
Christian Science; The Religion of
Christ" There seems . to have been
much misunderstanding in regard to the
teachings of Christian Science in Wich-
tia and for this reason Judge Ewing was
invited to deliver an address here. The
judge is an eloquent speaker and in spite
Of the warm weather last night made an
excellent address. His Introductory re-
marks were very interesting and his
thoughts through the entire address show
that he is the possessor OF a very logi-
cal mind. During the evening he re-
ferred to the advancement of woman
and gave an outline Of her position for
centuries and her position at the present
time. He told of the work that women
had. been doing and said that much of
the conservatism Of the Christian Church
was because of her efforts. He made
mention of the fact that all churches
unite in giving thanks to God that be-
cause OF Christian teaching the world
was progressing and becoming better
although some people tried to make it
Calvin and the teachings of the Pres
byterian church, to Martin Luther and
the Reformation and told that If the
Wesleys had not questioned the religious
teachings Of their fathers the heroic
deeds Of the Methodist circuit riders
would be unknown.
The people of the world have become
humbieF in spirit and more holy by the
views of the old churches and these
churches and Christian Science are in ac-
cord. The old churches are in favor of
making men better, and this is one of
the teachings of Christian Science, said
the speaker. The old churches are try
ing to Danish superstition, and so is
Christian Science. We believe in God as
do the other churches, and that the
Bible is the divine revelation to men.
Ne believe, as do the other churches, that
prayer is a privilege.
Christian Science was introduced by
Mary Baked Eddy after thirty years
study of the Bible and it's teachings
There is no principle in Christian Science
that is not found in the Bible. 1t offers
no new Bible and it teaches no strange
construction. It declares no new God
but instead teaches that God Is all in all
The old churches teach OF the healing
power and so does Christian Science In
all churches it is the custom, TO pray for
the sick Christ's mission in the world
according to his sermons was to preach
the Gospel and to heal the sick. Chris
tan Science is the religion OF Jesus
Christ.

WILL EXTEND TO MANGUM
Rock Island VIII be the First Road
Into Greer County. O. T.

The Rock Island Railway company has
decided to extend its Mountain View
branch to Mangum, 0. T., and work has
already commenced on the construction.
The survey has already been made and
the grading will commence at once. The
road already runs to Granite and only
ten miles of track will have to be laid
to reach Mangum. The company expects
to have the line completed and in opera
ton by September. This branch runs
from Chickasha and goes through Ana
darko to Granite, where the oil bearing
sand has been discovered in good quanti-
ties. When completed it will be the first
railroad in Greer county. Mangum is the
county seat ad the people there by way
of concession have donated a section of
good land to the company. The Rock
Island Is also the only road operating in
the Kiowa country, which was recently
opened up by the government. The coun-
try is undeveloped by railroads and will
be a good thing both for the people
down there and the company.
In the northwest corner of the Kiowa
country cotton can be raised and that
territory will soon be developed The
extension which was recently made from
Mountain View to Granite cuts off
portion Of Kiowa COUNTY The Rock
Island has branch running from Noun
tain View to Fort Sill.
