Meeting Continues

Owing TO threatening rain the
congregation at the Methodist
meeting was small last evening.
The service was a good one, how
ever. The pastor preached a strong
sermon on the obstacles to Chris
tian effort. The greatest of these
was indifference and he made an
earnest plea to christians to arouse
from their lethargy and be active in
saving men and women. The sing :
ing, under the leadership of Mr. ].
Allen Ray, was greatly improved
last evening. Several manifested a
desire to lead a better life when in
vited to do so by the pastor. A
good congregation was present at
the morning service today. The
evening service begins at SIS. Be
sides the congregational singing,
special music in the form of solos,
duets aud qualtets is rendered at
each service.

Jones Gains Strength

Oklahoma City, O. T., July IS.
The Jones movement is steadily
gaining strength and the Guthrie
man is now classed among the lead
ing candidates. 1t is not at all inn
probable that the strength of Les
lie p. Ross will go to Jones if that
gentleman withdraws. Tonight the
Jones band started out on the street
and when infront of the Lee started
up Dixie and a wild cheer broke on
the cool night air from fully one
thousand throats for the time be-
loved democracy. The intense en-
thusiasm that prevailed while the
tune of the southland charmed all
its auditors changed in a tremend-
Gus ovation for the Guthrie csndi-
date and if the convention had been
in session then he would have been
the nominee.
