TWO able
ADDRESSES
DELIVERED
Closing Session Held
ChiCkaShd Pleased
the Delegates

a great meeting was the final ses-
sion OF the Congregational association
last night. The entire meeting was a
great success but the closing session
was simply great.
Very seldom does one hear, even I'M
the great educational centers Of the
world. two addresses as mastery as
were those Of last evening.
The address b supt Tower on the
subject. The Minister for the Church
Of Today exalted the ministerial Of
flee He treated in very able way
this difficult subject He went into
discussion OF the great social, economic
and moral problems OF our time and
showed clearly that for one to be able
to minister to a people today it was
necessary that in addition to being a
good religious man, that he be also a
man OF liberal education and a deep
thinker III word, he gave his audi.
enee to understand that the really ef-
ficient minister could not be "a moss
back. but that he must be a modern
man to his very finger tips.
IN his address the Rev. R. r, Shoe
maker. NJ. s.. b. D.. OF El Reno. show
ed that he. too. belonged to the great
company Of seohlars and prophets. His
subject was, Jesus, the Man Of the
World" He tried to get us away from
the Christ Of the creeds and back to
the real jesus Of the gospel He said
that the churches could never unite on
an ordinance Or on doctrines but that
they could unite on Jesus Christ
In the same high class was the music
Of the evening. Seldom has the con
gregaional choir sang better than on
this occasion. Special mention mus
be made Of the anthem and also Of the
duet sang by Misses Pearl and Ra
mona Balm
The minister wishes to thank th'
members and the friends of tht
church and the Junior and senioi
choirs for their assistance in making
+ the meeting a grand success. Chicka
sha has reputation among the Con
gregationaliats Of being the most hos
pltable city in the state and she ha

WHY NOT BE EAR?

The Republicans are trying TO make
capital out OF Senator Chilton's alb
sence from the Senate when the vote
was taken on the Lorimer case. Not
contented with the Congressional Rec
ords report, they try to belittle the
junior Senator for not being able to
attend to his duties.
The fact. is Senator Chiffon was at his
home in Charleston very i'll and was
paired with Senator Bankhead who
was opposed to- the resolution. Now
the Republicans take this up and en-
deayor to show that had he been pres
ent he would have voted for the Sena-
tor to retain his seat. Such talk is
worse than foolishness, and shows to
what extremes the opposition will go
to deal in falsehoods. 1t would be well
for the Republicans to expose some of
ex-senator SCOTS votes and quit falsi
flying about man who is doing his
duty in the open.
