Of our times 70 tell us what God
wants. and they befuddle us in respect
OF His requirements. just as talented
lawyers befog us on the subject Of
justice. Mr. Rockefeller has his idea
Of the requirement." II he has been
rapaeious and greedy. II he has mercl-
lessly wrecked businesses and homes
and gripped the throat OF the weak
with the mailed hand OF oppression
and suppression, he can perhaps be
sincere in telling the prayer meeting
that he has been as generous. loving,
liberal and helpful as the Lord gave
him capacity for being, and too, with
perhaps quite as much sincerity as
possesses some Of us less conspicuous
sinners who pour down liquor and
make the excuse that our appetite was
too strong for us.
Mr. Rockefeller probably not only
believes that in giving away one dol
lar in a thousand he is doing all that
the Lord gave him ability to do, but
that the ability to get together his
hundreds Of millions was given him
for the purpose Of getting them to
gether. 1t is. indeed. "sweetly com.
forting" to shift all responsibility upon
the Almighty, and eager Christians
will likely have chance 10 fght over
the boundaries OF free will for some
time to come, but the trouble with Mr
Rockefeller and most Of us ordinary
sinners is that we attempt to desig-
nate and dicts what God wants. We
make up His requirements" as we
go along. to suit the times, to suit our
cOnyeniences, TO suit the development
Of human thought and desire. And so,
we lose sight Of the simple. evident re.
quirement which really is OF God, and
so written in every created thing, even
in the hearts Of men--"Love ye one
another" All other requirements that
tend toward progress and happiness
are in this. and sticking faithfully tc
this we would not then build require

PRESS COMMENT.

Shawnee Herald: Guthrie is still
hugging herself with delight over the
good things said about her by the gen.
erous representatives of the craft who
visited the Editorial association meet
ing there last month. The Leader has
shown great enterprise in getting out
a souvenir edition containing extracts
from pagers all over the Union that
express the gratitude and astonishment
OF the writer's that they we're able to
visit Guthrie and Oklahoma and get
away with their lives Many OF these
editors have said some really good
things about Guthrie and about the
territory. and according 10 the Lead
er's headlines they have named Guth-
RE as the permanent capital OF the
new state.
This will strike the average citizen
OF these two territories as carrying
even gratitude too far and II proves
the excellent diplomacy of Guthrie in
not allowing the visitors to get within
forty miles Of Shawnee. Swallow your
taffy boys. but just remember that
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Alabama and
Georgia editors while an honor to the
craft. will not be much in evidence
when the capital fight comes OF.
That's when Shawnee will be- at the
doin's. Guthrie is simply grabbing at
straws and her frantic efforts are
amusing the people Of both territories.
