| The modern fable OF the ambitious
| agriculturalist and the real estate
agent or how Bill loosened on what
| he had.
one upon a time there was a nice
quarter-section farm four miles north
! OF town. The house was painted white
with green blinds and there was blue
dove cote on top OF the red barn. There
| was good hen house and milk house
and n rafting good pig sty on the
place and q windmill pumped water for
the stock in winter. In summer they
drank from n nice little creek, which
gurgled down thru the pasture and
emptied into the big slough over cas-,
of the house on the turnpike The
place was owned by man named Bill
and he was reckoned as worth right
smart at the bank. His young ones
helped Dad and Nam in the summer
and went to school in the winter and
things seemed to be coming their way.
| But Bill had ambitions to move to town
and get in with the business bunch,
so that he could lay aside his felt
boots and overalls and wear his cellu-
loid collar every day. He was next to
the fact that every business man had a
pudding and his heaviest work was 10
eat it. Besides there was such chance
to be close to lodge and the church
and the young ones could attend the
high school and swing in with the best
Of them. So he impaired his ideas
to Nam and she fell right in behind
him. The next day they hitched up and
drove to town and Bill hunted up the
real estate agent and listed his farm.
Before long hornyhanded male indi-
vidual from Illinois drove out to Blils
and when he got back to town he had
contract for Bits place in his pocK-
ct. Then Bill went to the print shop
and had some sale bills struck off. AZ
ter the sale Bill moved the family TO
town and bought out store. Nam ana
the girls struck their gait right away
and inside of two weeks there was a
prayer meeting at Bills house in the
middle of the afternoon. Before long
Nam and the girls gave colored tea
and all the better class folks in town
we're there. Bills boys soon learned
to smoke cigarets and one OF them
sang IN the male quartet. while the
other got on the bowling team and
made record. The travelling men all
called Bill Mister" and the preacher
did all his trading there Business
seemed TO be good for a while. but Bill
couldn't swell the bank account any.
The travelling men began dropping the
Mister" and did not seem to care to
rust, in such big orders as they did at
first. They also said the house was at

From the Pews to the Pulpit.

| (Some Extracts From Letter to the

! For years we have gone diligently
to church and listened with more or
less patience to the sermons offered.
Will the ministers give equally patient
and thoughtful attention to short

often a minister fails 20 comprehend
the audience to which he speaks. En-

to come into the fullness OF it's rest.
But in the meantime we are COM
PEELED to live. and help in this living
Is what we beg of you ministers to
give us. but too often we beg in vain.
We come to you on Sundays from
divers paths, many of US with heart
achas, some broken hearted. and all
with the burden of living pressing
hard upon us. We show by the very
act of coming to church at all our
desires to live rightly and our intel
lectual harmony with the fundamental
principles Of the Christian religion. We
do not need convincing that there is n
God, that He rules the world. that
Christ is our Savior that the Bible is
the right law OF life. In the main our
convictions are yours, tho perhaps less
firm. While we believe in n God and
trust in the redeeming grace OF Jesus
Christ, that same God Is often far
from us and we walk not daily with
the Savior. In no way can YOU help
US more than by turning our convic-
Ing us to live what we believe.
Tell us more about Gods love for
us.-more about the life we are living.
Help us to fight the good fight. Show
us often and repeatedly our bssetting

dowment, President House was feeling
very optimistic.
President House, while here. made the
announcement that United States Mar
shsl Bill Fossett had subscribed a thou
sand dollars toward the endowment, thus
aiding materially in the securing of the
few thousand dollars that are necessary
before the Kingfisher college secures the
subscriptions, said President House,
hundred thousand dollars to aid in its
work of education"
The endowment originated in the offer
of DIR. Pearsons Of Chicago to make the
college a present of $4,000 for an endow-
ment, providing they could secure an adj
ditional $4,000. The college took the mat
ter up and President House spent the
the summer in the east where he secured
$50. eco. At the present time he has al
most $4,000 promised, so that only small
portion of the amount remains The
money is invested and will return to the
college between $500 and $1,000 a year
giving them an annual revenue of about
$l4.o0c
President House has been with the
Kinghsher college since its infancy and
has seen 1t grow. as he says. from a
school in the basement of the Congrega-
tionaI church TO one of the large Okla
homa colleges, with three large buildings.
Nine years ago he organized the first
classes and the academy became a COL
lege. For three years school was held
in rooms up town. while the college build
ing was being completed. The building
was built mainly by money given by King
fisher people.
The main building of Kingfisher col
