Ardmore, got robbed of $40 instead of
meeting a girl he was supposed to
have an appointment with. Stephens
story resulted in an information
charging highway robbery, being filed
against J. j. Roach and IT, Album,
Monday, by County Attorney Pope.
Stephens says that he fell in with
Roach and Album soon after arriving
in the city and that he accepted their
proposition to introduce him to a

lature of 1919, which makes il a grave
offense TO make books or otherwise
gamble on horse races, has been sub.
jected to the referendum, and the pc
tition demanding its submission to
the voters has been properly signed
and filed with the secretary of state
There is some question as to whether
the matter is in due form and whether
the Constitution has been complied
with in all respects, especially in the
date of the election to which the mat
ter is to be submitted 1t is the gen
cral opinion, however, that the law is
suspended pending the referendum
election. In this connection is said
to be the hope of the racehorse men
and book makers. They feel reason
ably safe in the probability that the
law against betting on horse races
has been supended
1t is known, however, that the GOV
ernor, in his announcement that he
would not permit bookmaking, even
if he had to call GU the militia, was
| not basing his position upon the new
law. While it is true that there is no
| specific law against bookmaking in
! the Oklahoma state law, except the
law that is being referred, there are
decisions of both the supreme court
and the criminal court of appeals
holding that betting on horse races Is
a nuisance The opinion of the Latter
court is the hope of the authorities in
the coming battle against bOokmak.
ing. 1t holds that betting en- horse
races is a public nuisance.
SO there is to be an attempt to stop
the bookmakers at the Tulsa race
meet under the decisions of the courts
that such proceedings are public nuis-
ances 1t will not be as easy sailing
as would have been the case under
the 1913 law, had that enactment been

this and for that reason he is going
to have the state military on hand.

God Understands

III is sweet TO know,
When we are tired, and when the
the hand of pain
Lies on our hearts, and when we look
in vain
For human comfort, that the Heart
Divine
Still understands these cares of yours
and mine.
Not only understands, but day by day
Lives with us while we tread the
earthly way,
Bears with us all weariness and feels
The shadow of the faintest cloud that
steals
Across our sunshine, ever learns again
The depth and bitterness of human
pain.
There is no sorrow that he will not
share,
No cross, no burden, for our hearts to
without his help, no care of ours too
small
To cast on Jesus; let us tell him all
Lay at his feet the story of our woes,
And in his sympathy find sweet repose.
In the Church Advocate.

"If on bended knee you can answer
to these personal Questions positively,
then you can be reasonably assured
you are a real Christian. The reality
of being in Christ consists in a vital,
personal relation and fellowship with
Christ.

At the afternoon service Dr. Slough
preached on the valley of the Vision
of Dry Bones" taken from the book
of Ezekiel. He said III part: mo man
can look out on the world as it is to-
day without becoming discouraged.
This war seems to show that civiliza-
tion is a thorough failure. The fact
that Germany and other nations that
have been considered the most cul-
tured and engaged in a struggle en-
ploying the highest products of civili-
zation for the destruction of life is
most discouraging unless it is viewed
through the eyes of God.
THE church should have a vision
not only of the needs of the city in
it's physical life, but more still, 1t
should have the vision of the needs of
the heart and the spiritual life. The
church should have vision of lost
souls"
He showed that Improvement in
material surroundings is not enough,
but that the church should lead with
a change in the heart. when you
clean the heart, you clean up the sur
roundings."
THE church is primarily responsible
for evil conditions and has failed to
hold the people in its grasp. Two
thirds of the Sunday school attend
ants never join the church. because
it has not attracted them. Practically
every prostitute has attended Sunday
school at one time or another.
"The reason the saloon forces hate
me as the devil hates Holy Water is
that my preaching is going to hurt
their business. In Hazleton where
over 5000 persons hit the tratl--more
than 1000 of them being men-75 per
cent of these converts were users of
alcohol and entirely stopped 1t. And
