PASTOR WINS OUT

He Is "JOhnny-On-fhe-SpOf."

Rev. P. s. Slade, pastor of the
First Methodist Church Of Syracuse,
Illinois, is stirring sort OF
man. He is also a genius. He
doesn't believe in religious inertia,
and drowsy congregations make
him tired.
Rev. Slade was appointed to his
present pastorate from the Free
port meeting of the Rock River
Conference in August, 1905, and
he soon discovered that things
needed stirring up. First Church,

but there seemed to be woeful lack
Of interest in Sunday services.
Good congregation, plenty of good
singers; but singing seemed to re-
quire too much effort.
Pastor Slads was puzzled for a
while over the problem of injecting
more vim into the situation--not
very long. though. A few Sundays
ago be had an inspiration. The
closing hymn was being sung, and
the way the congregation econo-
mized on sound made him have
cold chills. He urged them to
sing-everyboby sing. Little bet

suggested that if they couldn't sing,
to whistle-do something, anyway.
Congregation began togetinterested;

looked around, blinked some and
appeared undecided as to what
they really ought TO do in order to
break the tension, which by this
time was becoming noticeably taut,

perhaps quicker" would be more
accurate. He noted the embarrass
ment and-began to whistle; didn't
lose note from the hymn which
he and the organist and a few
others were struggling to "render."
Happy RESULT The effect was
like food OF joyous sunshine
bursting through the dark clouds
OF despair. The congregation TOOK
it up-those who could whistle;
the others continued to sing.
When it was all over and the
benediction had been pronounced,

Parson Slade that he had won. He

OF intelligence can form the conclusion
DR.. Creath did after spending but a few
days in the territory. His observations
Of the territory must have been form
ed by looking out of the car window
and spending twenty minutes in Chick
asha for lunch. I have been a resi-
dent of the Territory for the past two
years, and | can say from positive
knowledge that there are millions of
dollars awaiting investment as soon
as clear titles and deeds can be OBJ
tanned to the lands. So far as want
and pauperism are concerned, it is I'M
known here or in any other part Of the
territory. even among the Indians and
negroes.
He also states that the poor and ig-
norant class of people seem to be com
ing to the new state Of Oklahoma, the
part known as Indian Territory. The
class of immigration we are getting
here are people mostly from Iowa, II
l1no1s and most of the northern states,
Including business men and farmers
who have disposed of their holdings
and are coming to this country with
thousands of dollars to invest These
people are of the best class, we'll edu.
Gated and Industrious and not the
class Of people that DR.. Creath would
have the people of the city of Ottum-
wa think they are Anything that can
be produced in any part of the United
States can be raised prof1tably in In.
dian Territory. 1t is true that the
educational system is not up to the
Iowa system, but it must be remem
bered that this is new state and i'm.
provements are rapidly being made
The negro class are the only ignorant
class of people here.
