MEET ME- At THE
BAPTIST REVIVAL
SEVEN ADDITIONS TO THE
CHURCH AND A NUMBER OF
PROFESSIONS THE FIRST DAY.

A campaign for the lost, the sin
ner; a revival for the backslider, the
forgetful Christian. was started at
the Broadway Baptist church yester-
day morning, April 9th, Were you
present? VIII you be there tonight
this week?
Singing Evangelist d. r. Wade of
Oklahoma City, the possessor of an
unusually fine voice, has charge OF
the music Rev. F. NJ. Masters is
doing the preaching.
There have been few meetings tt
which a people have looked forwGrA
with more interest than to this, be-
cause of the long preparation which
has been made for it. Each ward OF
the city has been assigned to the
proper committees to organize into
cottage prayer meetings. The pastor
said yesterday that every one in the
city would be reached through some
medium, and given chance to hear
the message.
Another feature of the thorough
organization is the tags which were
pinned on the children at Sunday
School Sunday, bearing the words,
Meet Me at the Baptist Revival"
1t was indeed an imposing sight to
see that army Of sweet, innocent
faced children, almost two hundred
strong, march out of church after
Sabbath School, each with his re-
quest pinned just over his or her
little breast. begging you wiser folks
pend upon their immortal Prince
of Peace"

Sell Bowery's Last Landmark.

New York, April 11.-,Many people
OF the present generation can recall
the time when the Bowery was the
toughest street in New York-when,
indeed, its denizens proudly alleged
that it was the wickedest thorough
fare on earth, bar none. That day is
gone, and the Bowery is now a bust
ness street, pure and simple, with no
more viciousness in evidence than In
Broadway or any other business street.
Yet there was a time-recalled by
the sale at auction today Of the Bow
ery's oldest landmark, the Thalia the
atre-when the Bowery was the prin-
cipal thoroughfare of New York, and
when the wealthiest people in New
York lived in its immediate vicinity.
The sale OF the old playhouse, for
merly called the Bowery Theatre, has
brought from the oldtimers many rem
iniscences of the days when the Bow
cry was the abode of fashion and lux
ury, an when the elite of the city
flocked to the theatre to see Booth and
Barrett and the other theatrical stars
of that vanished time.
The Thalia has the largest stage OF
any regular playhouse in New York,
and there is not seat in the house

At the morning service the pastor
gave out cards requesting that the
members of the church write upon
them the names of those for whom
they were praying. Every one whose
name is thus given in will have a
special prayer offered for him, and
a united effort will be made to reach
that individual. Some seventy-five
or more are already in the hands of
the pastor. Thus the campaign for
the lost of Ardmore is being waged
in a systematic manner.
All ministers and those inter-
ested in the souls of Ardmore's peo-
pie are invited to attend and partic-
ipate in this meeting.
Morning services will begin prompt
ly at 10 O'Clock, closing at II o'clock.
Song services in the evening will be-
gin at 7:30 and close at 9:15.
The leader of the people in this
revival-Rev. Masters-came to Ard
more six months ago from FIT. Worth,
where he had been pastor of Cot
tage Avenue Baptist church for five
years. He took up the work here,
and all Ardmore has felt some phase
of his power since his arrival He
believes in cleaning up the member
ship of the church before calling on
God 10 pour out His blessing. With
this thought in mind, seventy-five
of the three-hundred seventyfi1e
church members have been dropped
from the rolls.
Those who frequent the scene OF
the baseball game on Sundays belong
to one of two classes-backslide or
false professors" "He who profess
sess it." The foregoing are but two
of the many clear-cut sentences used
by this earnest pastor on Sunday
morning, as he spoke to large con-
gregation on the subject of the back
slider He took his text from the
18th verse of the 14th chapter of
Proverbs. He spoke as one who had
been in touch with the Master of
old, and his words struck many to
conviction, as they flashed out at
rapid fire and with the keenness of
two-edged sword.
"Backsliders are without influence:
their Christian duties are a burden
to them; they are loose on moral
questions; they are Indifferent to
the calls of the church: they are
unconcerned about the lost. In or
der to have a great revival, the
backsliders must get right. 1t may
be necessary to straighten up some
old grudge or to dig up and settle
some old accounts, both of which
should be publicly confessed. He

WILL PUSH CASE.
Game Warden Doolin Will Prosecute
Quail Thiefs.


Quail Thiefs.
Perry Rupert of Okeene, manager
of the Okeene Produce company, may
have to pay fine of $17,52O for illegal
shipments of game if the prosecutions
maintained by State Game Warden
John B. Doolin in the county court of
Blaine county are successful. J. b.
Dowell of McAlester, special deputy
game warden, left Monday for Waton-
ga to assist in the prosecution and spe-
cial counsel will be employed if nee
essary to assist the county attorney
in these cases, which are set for hear
ing this week.
The prosecutions against Rupert
are based on the seizure of 292 dozen
quail at Enid on January %, 1911.
This would mean 1854 birds altogeth-
er, and as the maximum penalty pro
vided by the law is s. per bird, the
total would reach a big amount. The
birds were shipped to the Chicago
Produce company of Chicago, and
were packed in a car with a shipment
of produce, surrounded by egg cases.
The car was transferred at Enid,
where some OF the quail were discover
ed to be sticking out of the cases,
and the officers were notified.
Rupert has been prosecuted before
both in the state and the federal
courts. but has gotten usually off with
small fine. Warden Doolin intends
to push the case to the limit this time,
however, and secure the maximum if
possible.

The Civic Club met yesterday at
the Wilmington with splendid at
tendance.
The topic of discussion was the fall
fuower show, which the club has
decided to encourage.
Those ladies who have taken SO
much interest in the flower show in
the two past years were present
and had invaluable suggestions to
make. Some of the committees were
authorized to offer certain sums OF
money as prizes at the flower show
and it was decided to ask all clubs
to offer premiums for flowers eX.
hibited.
The Commercial Club will doubt
less assist in this work and the la
dies feel that this years flower show
will eclipse all others in beauty and
interest.
There is no enterprise IN Ardmore
that contributes as much to civic
beauty as the flower show. Those
who expect to make entries this fa,l
will have to decide to do so at once
in order to select their plants. The
Civic Club hope a large number will
exhibit this year, who have never
made entries before.
There are always prizes offered
for new competitors allowing them
double opportunity for securing pre-
miums.
