INDIANS IN TROUBLE.
Choctaw Writes to Protective League
for Aid.

officers Of the Indian Protective League
of this city continue to receive complaints
from the four tribes In Oklahoma-the
Choctaws, Creeks. Chickasaws and Chero-
kees-stating that the state officials are
ignoring the terms of the treaty of 1882,
which, the Indians claim, still holds good.
In a communication received by the
league, A. G. Belvin. a full-blood of Bos-
we'll, Okla, states that he desires to have
certain alleged impositions on the Indians
by state officers called to the attention of
President Roosevelt. In part, he says:
Morris Tom, Gilbert Choate and David
Huston of the Choctaw full-blood Indians,
who live near Corrinne, Okla, have been
arrested by certain men who claim to be
state officers. The Indians named were
placed in Jail at Antlers August 20. Those
Indians never disturbed any one. They
have been working their own original
treaty rights and living peacefully and in
friendship with all. They were arrested
for not signing their names for a tax
assessor.
We earnestly ask President Roosevelt
and the government to protect us in our
rights and against those Oklahoma peo-
pie who are disturbing our people and
making us miserable
The officers of the league will forward
the complaint to the President at Oyster
Bay.

''The Advancement of the New Thought

c. Sabin of the Evangelical Church at
the church hall, 1907 G street northwest,
yesterday.
I'VE do not have to die to go to heav-

death itself is an absolute sin. 1t is an
enemy. God Almighty never created
death. 1t is man-created institution.
and only those who believe in it and bow
down to it or allow others to depress
them can ever be subjected to it."
Bishop Sabin commented upon a recent
letter received from Bishop Fallows OF
Chicago, in which he said the Episcopal
bishop comes out almost pointedly upon
the plane of the Evangelical Church that
God Almighty does, in answer to prayer,
heal the sick.
This great TRUTH he concluded. "is

BRATES ANNIVERSARY.
Holds Two Services-Ovation by
Congregation of Vermont Avenue
Christian Church.

Rev. DR.. F. D. Power rounded out the
thirty-third year of his pastorate of the
Vermont Avenue Christian Church yester-
day.
He preached two sermons in comment

veteran clergyman was given an ovation
by his congregation.
In the morning sermon DR.. Power
recited the history of his pastorate and
the strides which the church has made in

viewed the history of the congregation
from 1855. when six persons met at the
home of DR.. ]. T. Barclay and formed
this congregation. up to the present mo-
ment.
Among the early workers in the church.
he said were Judge Jere S. Black. Attor-
ney General and Secretary of State in
the cabinet of President Buchanan. For
some years the congregation held it's serv-
ices in the city hall. The present struc-
ture was built in the years 1882, 1888 and
1884
President Garfield was one of the regu
lar worshipers in the church. He joined
it when he came to this city as a member
Of Congress and continued his member
ship until death.
Eight other churches had, their incep-
ton in the congregation of the Vermont
Avenue Church. These bodies have re-
ceived over LOO members and have con-
tributed over $4,000 to Christian objects
Branch Churches

1000; Third Christian Church, at Four

"A full generation is supposed to be
thirtythree and one-third years." he said
at the morning service. "One who has
served SO long may consider he has serv-
ed his generation. Whether faithfully
or unfaithfuly. the record has been made
in the pastorate of this church.
Perhaps it is time that'I stopped keep
ing anniversaries, or some one may say,
The pastor is growing old. He is APP
preaching the dead line. 1t is time to
"Oslerize' him. To these 1 would re-
call the words of Anacreon, that TITS
time to live if 1 grow old
During the present pastorate the
church has enjoyed the glory of a fellow
ship which embraced all conditions of
society, from the Chief Magistrate Of the
republic to the humblest laborer. The
Capital city has increased less than three
fold the churches of the Disciples OF
Christ more than elevenfold."
