The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1910-05-04

A program Of unusual interest has
been prepared for the second annual
summer meeting Of the Oklahoma
City Jockey Club. to be held at Okla
homa City June 18th to July 9Th. 1910.
Six races viii be run each afternoon
except Sunday, commencing at 8
o'clock. No purse less than 5000 will
be offered.
On June 18th the $1,000 Derby will
be raced, and lie miles, for S-year-
olds and up. The Independence hand.
leap, to be raced July 4th, will be a
feature of the meeting. This race will
be for $1,000, about 6 and 1-2 furlongs,
and for horses of all ages. Over $50
horses are assured for the meeting
and, with the excellent accommoda'
tions provided at the state fair grounds
successful meeting is assured.
The success of the first meeting held
last summer has prompted the man
agement to provide this fine program
and the attendance will undoubtedly
far exceed that OF last season. Elk
cellent transportation facilities will be
provided in the double-track electric
car line and asphalt boulevard direct
to the main entrance. Good music
and amusement features.

The Revival Meetinns.

People are beginning to realize the
revival meetings at the Baptist church
are not a play-game. The earnest
preaching of the word of God is maxi
ing men and women think Yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock there was large
gathering of men and women, who
were first led in prayer by the pastor
and the evangelist and then led in
thought by Brother Friar to athe up
lifted Christ john 1924. The fol-
lowing thoughts were forcibly present
ed People cannot follow Christ
through the theatre and card party"
sJeDus must break through the cloud
of sin in your life if you are to be any
good in this world" Lifting UP
Jesus in the heart will life Him up in
other hearts"
At three o'clock a goodly company
of women met at the home of Mrs. o.
D. Neville, there spending an hour in
earnest prayer for salvation of loved
ones. At the evening service Eyange.
list Friar, after a splendid song sefy-
ice. spoke on the First Commandment,
Thou shalt have none other Gods
but me-" He first proved we belong
ed to God by right of creation, second
by right of salvation. and therefore he
had right to demand of us complete
submission to his will. He proved that
a person who gave themselves over to
theatre going. card parties and drunk
|enness, broke this commandment by
making these things god in the place
of God himself. and therefore were
on the road to an eternal hell. At the
close the larger part of the audience
went forward and pledged themselves
to be in direct opposition to the above
sins Come and see if the evangelist
has your picture in his collection.
