MAGNIFICENT ADDRESS BY JUDGE WALKER TO THE

lahoma. II will make a giant of Okla
homa in American culture, In me-
chanicS it is true that if we could
find a fulcrum for the lever we could
FIT the world. Oklahoma is the full
crum for Americas lever. Jerusalem
was the first fulcrum. Philadelphia
YVES the second fulcrum. Oklahoma
is the third fulcrum. The west will
save the east. Oklahoma will ener-
gize the west. Browning has written
the thought in the heart of the men
of Oklahoma And so | live you
see, try, prove, reject, prefer, still
struggling to effect, my warfare; hap
py that | can be crossed and thwart-
ed, as a man not left in Gods ron
tempt apart, with CHASTITY smooth
life, dead at heart. Tame in earth's
paddock as her prize.
Without bones, the fairest and
bravest child could not stand up
right. The collapse in eastern Amer
lea in business, social and political
rigor is due TO its GENERALIZATION,
Courage is the bone. Schiller notes
its psychological station:
Goods gone,
Something gone,
Bend thee to the oar,
Something more.
Honor gone,
Much gone, :,
Go, thou, get glory,
Then idle gossip
Will tell a different story.
Courage gone,
All gone,
Better unborn.

bravado of the desperate, who blaz-

THE PERKINS HOME LETTERS

Company and reprinted by permission.
New York. "Wednesday event,

New York, Wednesday evening.
Dear Mother: My letter will be
short this time, for I must write be-
fore retire tonight. The work that
must be done this week is so great
that can only write my letter at the
expense of my sleeping hours; so I
know you will forgive its brevity. By
"work that must be done" mean the
work for my Master, for he has gra-
ciously given me much to do in my ef-
fort to serve him between Sundays.
While my letter is short, it results
from long contemplation of this les
son. To think that an apparent stran-
ger understood Christ better than his
disciples! That's where the lesson
touches my life. To know the mind of
Christ must be in a peculiar relation
ship to him. Even daily companionship
with him didn't teach the disciples all
they needed to know about worship.
This woman was not much in his COM
pany as compared with the disciples;
and yet she could see deeper into the
spiritual realm of worship than they.
Oh, mother, I find I'm much in dan
ger all the time of letting my service
be substitute for my worship. I need
this lesson of the alabaster box as bad
ly as did the disciples. Just to offer
him something once in a while that
can't be measured in terms of service
must be as sweet ointment to him.
Your loving son, &

SNOW MAN IS

Must Have Gotten Hold Of a Dem.
ocratic Calendar.
Sends Us Big Batch Of Snow and Piles 4
Up Just as Il He Wanted to Use It In the
Spring.

It did not come according to the reg
ular schedule it is here, and looks
as if it was here to stay.
Nice clean, white, juicy flakes of
snow were falling last Saturday morn
ing when the people of this section
peeped from their bedroom windows
and it kept coming all day and all that
night. Old Boreas, too, took a hand
and the drifts are stacked up-just out
Of the breezy places-in way that
would put old December to shame.
It is the first time within the memory
of the oldest inhabitant that the weather
man has cut up such pranks so early
in the year, and some of those who had
not finished their outside work are
feeling crossways at the old fellow.
Not storm window on, not bit of
banking to the house, some of us with
not even potato in the cellar-and
not heavy shirt to our back-and here
the dreary months of winter upon us.
Although quite unprepared for such
a tempest there are no reports of suf-
fering among the live stock. The
thermometer dropped to within five
degrees of zero Sunday night, but by
that time most of the cattle were
sheltered or housed. The mercury is
up in the glass again and a spell OF
good weather may take the snow off.
Threshing is about done and farmers
were just getting nicely started with
their fall plowing.
The pesky flies did not like the
change one bit-but their departure
appears to be the only pleasant thing
about the storm.
