Bath House Location

Editor Leader: | saw in The
Leader yesterday an article on the
location of the bath house. The
writer wants to make the bond mon
ey go as far as he can. He wants
y 10 go away out to Highland park
How absurd and ridiculous. Haven't
we got a bathing pool at Highland
panh, the only contaminated water
around the city of Guthrie? He did
NOT say how many lots he had ont
there IN the country. Why did he
sign ms name taxpayer? WHY did
ne not come out Like man, and
sign hls true name? Nine-tentns of
the people of Guthrie want the bath
mouse and auditorium at Mineral
" els park. It's their money and
they ought to have what they want.

babies is nothing more or less than
heat stroke. Along the same line OF
reasoning it is fair TO conclude that
much sickness among grown-ups is
brought ABOUT in like manner. Far
into the summer men wear stuffy,
hot coats and high. stiff collars for
the looks OF The thing, In many
hotels and boarding houses IL is not
considered good form, even in the.
hottest weather, for a man to APP
pear al the dinner table Without his
coat.
Generally speaking. what the law
allows does not refer exclusively
to the city ordinances. 1t refers 10
the laws of society as well, and
sometimes man who attempts to
eat in comfort will Zoe made to feel
uncomfortable.
The great mistake made by many
people is their selfish idea that
what they can stand others can
stand One man who is not over
burdened with red blood declares he
experiences no discomfort from
wearing his coat at dinner. and tells
the truth. but another man with
apopiecttc tendencies may actually
endanger his life by trying to abide
by the law OF society.
Under these circumstances IL
seems that men should be excused
IN considering that the real fashion
sheet 10 he observed in summer is
the legal and not the social one. IN
other words. that they are justified

Prayer Meeting KILLERS .

T. De Witt Talmage gives a picture OF
the man with an expository turn of mind
whose tactlessness makes such havoc in
otherwise inspiring and uplifting serv-
ices. He says:
He is very apt to rise with a New
Testament in his hand, or there has been
some passage that during the day has
pressed heavily on his mind. 1t Is prob
ably the first chapter Of Romans, or some
ngurative passage from the Old Tesla
ment. He says. for instance: My breth-
rem, / call your attention to Hosea. 18th
and 9Th: "Ephraim is a cake not turned
You all know the history Of Ephraim
Ephraim was-ah. we'll, He was a man
mentioned in the Bible. You all know
who he was. Surely no intelligent audi
ence like this needs to be told who
Ephraim was. Now the passage says
that he was cake not turned. There
are a good many kinds Of cake. my breth-
REM There is the Indian cake. and the
flannel cake, and the buckwheat cake
Now Ephraim was a cake not turned. 1t
Is an awful thing not to be turned. My
friends, let us all turn
While this is. and was intended to be.

making clear the thought.
The illustration brings to our minds
many instances of harmful actions Of the

Need for Christian Tact.

The great need OF the church is Chris
tan tact. The winning of men to Christ
by the true diplomacy of truth. sympathy
and love. Tact that speaks the truth
most fully. yet heals the wound with
sympathy and love. The great art Of
Christian service is in the ability to put
ourselves in another's place. The high

low-men, and has its exquisite reward.

Awoke one night from deep dream Of peace
And saw within the moonlight In his room
Making II rich and like lily in bloom
An angel writing in book of gold
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhenl bold

What writest thou - The vision raised ifs hesd
And with look made OF all sweet accord
