Harlow Continues Sale

One of the biggest sales ever pull
I'd off by any merchant of this city is
now going on at the Harlow Broker
lge Store on South Main street. The
sale began last Friday morning with
Il record breaking crowd of eager
shoppers who had read the slaugh-
tered prices advertised in the papers
Of this city and on bills which had
been circulated for miles around. The
Harlow Brokerage Store Is doubtless
the best known store in the city be-
cause 1t is the most extensively ad-
vertised. During this sale it has been
necessary to employ fifty additional
clerks to handle the crowds which
daily flock into the store. Mr.. Har-
low has just recently purchased an
unusually large stock of goods at fig
ures fhich make 1t possible for him
to offer to the public bargains that
make the average merchant ponder in
amazement and envy. He is a good
buyer and of course n good seller.
These sales are almost monthly oc-
currances at Harlow's, but the pres
ent sale eclipses any former sale ever
The Tulsa star. [volume] (Tulsa, Okla.) 1913-1921, 1914-02-14

put on by this store. A host of pretty
girls and handsome men (including
Mr.. Harlow himselO are employed to
walt on the shopping public and see
That everyone is accorded courteous
treatment and the best service posi-
Bile. All of this is noticeable and ap-
preciated by the thousands who are
daily taking advantage of the wonder
ful opportunities of this sale.
To the residents of the rural dis
trict as well as the citizens OF Tulsa
this sale affords rare opportunities,
and one has only to see the great
crowd attending this sale to know
that it is fully appreciated.
Speaking of the sale yesterday Mr..
Harlow said: I'VE are we'll pleased
with the attendance at this sale. but
what Is more important to us. the pub
lie Is pleased. We have been a little
short of help and could not serve ev-
orybody as promptly as we like, but
the public has been very patient and
conslderate so far" The sale will
continue n week or ten days more.

TT NDER common agreement the
Young Mems Christian assoeia-
tions Of the country are prose-
cutting a join-the-church movement
during Lent. Association workers in a
score of cities are asking men if they
have church letters and are finding
them by the hundreds that have never
been presented by them. These are
transfers given by churches left be-
hind but remaining in trunks of men
and not given by them to churches in
the cities settled in. Workers say the men
reply. when asked why they have never
presented their letters, that ministers have
never given them the opportunity.
Associations are holding LeDten clesses to
aims to supplement the churches. not to sup
plant them They are telling boys and men
that the churches need them. and that they
need the churches, both in equal measure
The effort is making by association work
ers to see If they may not double the num-
Der Of men added TO churches and to their
work over any previous Lent.
Associations have just now two money
raising campaigns in hand. One is S125.-

and the other a $500, 900 one in Detroit for
the erection Of four new buildings. In in

Presbyterians are finding the conditions
more difficult than in years. Foreign and
publication work are somewhat better in
their showings, but their home work is far
behind. Churches are not responding The
causes are said to be financial unrest
throughout the country and attacks claimed
by treasurer Olin to be wholly unjust, that
were made in the general assembly at At

repeated during the year, and that will
come into the general assembly in Chicago

pressed that deficit may reach $50, OOO

bidding, and to do this we must be OF the
same mind having the same love, one for
another and for the cause of Christ.
God Wants Unity.
Unity, my brethren Is what God is plead
ing tor he wants unity IN the churcn To-
that love Of Christ to govern our lives What
does it take to compose the church Of
Christ? Baptized believers in the lord and
savior, Jesus Christ. Then we become ors-hren
and sisters. So, when we believe in Christ
as our savior and trust in Jesus to save US
and are baptized into his church we become
and are recognized by the world and the
church as part Of the great family Of God.
Paul says in Romans, 1875, 1--WE being
many, are one body in Christ. and every one
members, one of another" Then, beloved, if
we be members one Of another. we should be
hkeminded, having the same love, being Of
one accord Of one mind
Why should there be unity in the church.
Every believer is member Of Christ's body
and as such has a definite ministry We
read in I Cor. 12-12-13.
For as the body is one. and hath many
members and all the members of that one
body, being many, are one body; so also IS
FOR by one spirit are we all baptized into
one body, whether We be Jews or GentiIes,
whether be bond or free"
We also read in Gal 3-26-27: Eye are all
the children Of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
For IS many Of you have been baptized
into Christ, have put on Christ"
Therefore the justified believer becomes
q son in the great family Of God: not a
servant under the law, for every believer
is member of Christ body.
Why should there not be unity in the
church? If we are one body in Christ Jesus
and every one members one Of another, we
should be like minded and without unity
there is no power.
Church Should Be Our Example
If the church of Jesus Christ expects to
prosper and lead the unsaved from the dark
pathways OF life to see the glorious light
of our lord there must be unity The church
of Christ should be an example to the
world, and pattern for every other organi-
ZatiOn
The church is a great family Of God. and
love, joy peace and happiness should reign
and rule in this great family.
One Of the saddest things in this life is to
90 into a home where there is no love. no
peace, no happiness, no JOY, no unity, and
