Special to Daily Leader
Muskogee, Okla. April When
statehood became effective Oklahoma.
IN the forty counties that were former

IN office class of men as constables
IN the townships that have. through
the ignorance of some of their mum.
bers as to their duties and powers,
created an adverse sentiment com
pared TO which that which existed
against the former regime of deputy
marshals is infinitesmal. in most cases
this arises on account of the ignorance
OF the constables as to their author
ity IL has reached such an extent
that in Sequoyah county, the other
day, a grand jury at Sallisaw, brought
in report which is startling IN its ma
ture, serious for the men affected. and
q note of warning TO erring officers in
other counties
The jury after returning 1872 indict-
ments, asked leave to make a special
report to the court. This report was
a severe arraignment OF the township
aud some county officers with the rec
ommendation that they be asked to re-
sign, and N thcy did not do so, then
steps be taken 10 remove them
The report in part says: 1T appears
that certain officers. towiti Wash leo.

township; Ciaud Wright constable of
Black Cum township; Houston Young
constable of Marble township. and
Wash Downing. deputy constable OF

weapon while not in tie discharge n
their official duties; chat ID. Harlln,
constable of Sallisaw township has
been neelectful o9 his duties; that GER
tain deputy sherlfs of the county have
used 70 excess Intoxicating liquors,
therefore We recomnend that these
men named be requested TO resign,
and In case they refuse, that proceed

 The wonder of the accident was the escape of Boyd McGehee. one of the proprtetors. of the store. who was working on the preparation which was the cause of the explosion. He was engaged in heating the glass vessel full of alcohol when it suddenly crack ed, emptying its contents steadily into the lamp sitting beneath. There was startling fare-up, and scattering of flames in all directions.
 Mir. McGehee fell back hastily and avoided being burned. About the only articles burned were a stack of corks under the counter back of the pre-. scription case.

 quoted in meanings that Paul never thought of. have heard that the keeping of the faith meant being faith full to the particular creed of some church, and yet in this sense Paul nev- CT dreamed that his saying would be used.
 Paul meant more by keeping the faith than the simple keeping of the doctrine of the old Testament. I think 1t meant something to Paurs person. allty, the faith that had been cove nanted between Pauls soul and the Christ. that compact that is born alone of God, not of the flesh nor of req son, but of God.
 You may not keep the covenant of the Scriptures or of the doctrine. but while shining may have been faithful to the covenant made between the heart and Christ.
 May we truthfully say when the time comes. as did Paul. I have fought the good fight: have kept the faith:
 The Presbyery was then opened with a prayer by Rev J. A. Ward of Au- burn, and the roll called by Rev E. M Craig. Motions were then in order for the nomination. of permanent moder- ator There were three nominations, Rev. D. J. Blackwell of Eufauia be- ing elected to fill the chair.

Kerr, pastor of the Highland Park Pres byterian Church. was then called upon to name the hours for the sessions of the Presbytery, and it was an nounced that the sessions would con- vene each morning at o'clock and in the afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, at night at 7:so o'clock.
 E. NJ. Craig announed that there would be a special meeting of the Pres bytery at o'clock this afternoon at which time there would be a report on home missions read to those present. If was urged that there be as many Presbyterians present at this time as inc building would allow, as the sub : feet would \ be thoroughly discussed and was of the utmost importance.

PRESBYTERY
 IS IN SESSION MT. Ward Preached the Opening Sermon. MR. BLACKWELL MODERATOR Highland Avenue Church is the
 Host. A Special Session wim Re Held We'd nesday Afternoon to Discuss Home Missions--sixteen Pass
 tors and Ten Elders in
 Attendance.

Sixteen pastors and ten elders, rep- resentative of the East Alabama Pres bytefy, met at 7:30 o'clock Tuesday night in the auditorium of the High land Park Presbyterian Church for three days session, to be devoted to thorough discussion of the work of the Presbyterian churches In the dis trict.
 It was expected that there would be at least forty or fifty members of the Presbytery atthe opening of the ses- sion, and 1t Is thought that there will be many additions to the number reg istered at the opening session last night coming to the city on the early morning trains.
 Rev. James A. Ward of Auburn pre- sided over the opening session as tenn. porary moderator, and preached the opening sermon. Mir. Ward took his reading from Second Timothy. and preached a short sermon upon the text For l have kept the faith"
 Mir. Ward said in part:
 The thoughts of man face to face with death Is contained in the text which has been chosen. The thoughts of a man in the :. full possession of every faculty. and knowing that his days were num- bered. The mans life had been lived and was behind him. but it was a life
 
 a life that he might take before God and be proud of. It was a life that had been given to the service of God.
 Starting unknown to the world, the history of Paurs life is told among Christian people the world over. His was a life that showed how God cares for a man who gives his life in His service.
 It means something to us to keep the faith of the Scriptures. If the Bi- ble Is not the Word of God then we are in a. world-rof darkness. Paul meant that he had kept the faith of the doctrine. He was q man of sys- tenn and of logic, and the three. great fundamental theological facts were up- permost in Paul's mind. These three great truths are: |. That in Jesus Christ all things were fulfilled: 2. That Jesus Christ was God in the flesh; 8. That He died on the cross for the re- mission of sin.
