The Reeent Revival.


The revival that closed last Sunday
after running four weeks az the Meth
odist church, was one of the best held
in vinita in recent years. Nearly one
hundred were converted or reclaimed
and the majority of them lined up with
some church of the city. About seven
ty gave their names for membership in
the Methodist church, under who's
auspices the meeting was held Aside
from the number converted, the great
est result from the meeting was the
good that church members received
from it, good many from all the
churches deciding to consecrate them
selves more fully to living Christian
lives. Very seldom is interest shown
in a revival held in a certain church.
as was shown by every body in this
one. All united in working for Christ
and no discordant note was ever de-
tected. 1t is gratifying to know that
the Christian people are getting so
close together in their work, regard
less of denomination.
DR.. Mcintosh endeared himself to
every one that heard him by his earn
estness and sincereity of purpose His
passion is saving souls with no thought
of popularity. 1t is no wonder that he
is SO successful as an evangelist. He
is not of the sensational type, but he
gets results.
Rev. Ed G. Phillips, who conducted
the singing is the best song leader the
writer has heard. Not only is he an
excellent song leader and good solo
ist but great personal worker and
soul winner
Those who attended the services the
three nights that Prof Roper was here
and played for the revival were very
fortunate indeed. He is the greatest in
his line of-work in the United States,
and vinita people do not doubt it, who
heard him play.
With this revival just ended and the
one that closed just short time be-
fore, the Christian workers have be-
come interested and this year will
surely prove to be the best that Vinita
has ever had religiously. Don't stop
because a revival is not in progress.

How About the Bible.

Editor Daily Chieftain have been
interested in the discussion between
Capt. White and John Ratcliff on the
truthfulness of the Bible. Mr.. Rat
cliff like all disbelievers reasons on
the things recorded in the Old Testa-
ment and tries to prove that these
things so recorded are true, because
they are not reasonable. 1t is true
there is many things laid down as gos-
pei in the old dispensation that sound
strange to us in this age, but a great

OF the statements made in the old law,
for | will know that customs and con-

now. What interests me is what ap-
plies to me in my present life. If
there is any of Christ's teachings that
are not true do not know it and do
not want to know, for it is not best

Bible as a book of philosophy and
llogic has no equal want to believe

guide book of life the Bible has no com

Robey and Wantland. For the normal
ties Miss Blanche Rushing at left for
