The investment made by the Me-
Man Oil company at Taylor is being
watched with some interest The
purchase the company made there is
some distance northwest of the field
and whether it will be producing ter
ritory is not known. The cause OF
the interest grows out of what is
called the ''luck' of this company. Its
first investment in Glenn Pool landed
in the heart of that pool, at Electra
the best portion was purchased, at
Gushing the company was equally for
tunate, and the production there
placed the company at the head of the
list in oil production. At IIealdton
the most prolific portion Of the field
is Included in the McMan holdings
and at POnca there was not much oil
found, but the best of it was the
McATan leases. In case that pur-
chase far to the northwest of pro
ducton at Taylor proves to be the
best part of the field, the McMan
company will arouse the superstition
that the company has some kind OF
superhuman guidance in making oil
lease purchases.

A Lucky Trade

That J. r.. Ring has been doing some
good work for the Sun Company in
the Taylor. Texas, field is shown by
the result of his investment there. He
purchased a lease to the northwest of
the field consisting of ia acres. He
gave $4,000 and royalty Of one-eighth.
Since the purchase was made he sold
fifty acres for 100000 and retained a
royalty of one-fourth. One-half of the
royalty will go to the fee owner and
one-half to the Sun Company. On the
balance of 64 acres he has an offer of
S32 and royalty Of one-fourth. The
result of his transaction makes good
showing for Mr.. Rings judgment in
making purchases in new oil field
The Taylor field has % wells the
actual production is 5000 barrels, and
every barrel is being sold and taken
from the field in tank cars Eight wells
which have stopped flowing, have not
beeen put on the pump. AS many as
fifty locations have been made in the
past ten days and much activity pre-
walls. A large number of live Oklaho-
ma oil men are there and they have
met with an equally live bunch from
south Texas. Business is progressing
smoothly in the field. with prospects
that it will not be large field

The subject Wednesday night was
the wrestling Of Jacob. Text. Gen. 81.
"a. "And there wrestled a man with
him until the breaking of the day"
In the sermon Mr.. Wilson showed
how Jacob went on his journey to get
a wife. But it was not the serious
business of getting a wife so much as
the more serious business of getting
a blessing of God that was considered.
Neither was it the place, important
as that was, that was considered so
much as the way in which this bless
ing was obtained.
The Second the Essential.
After leaving home Jacob is seen
sleeping in the desert where he has a
vision and is converted. There he es.
tablished an altar and worshipped.
But the place was not so important as
the manner, so it was claimed.
Then the journey to Laban's house,
the service of seven years for a beau.
tiful girl for a wife. the deception OF
the father-in.law and the additional
service of another seven years, or at
least the agreement was shown, then
the return to the old home and the
second blessing, which is the greater,
was shown and the need of every
getting this second blessing in
religious life if he would see God was
made clear.

JACOB WAS
HIS SUBJECT
Rev. Wilson $ Sermons Continue
to Draw Crowds to the Nc
Cabe m. z. Church.

Originality of thought and beauty
Of expression is heard in the sermons
Of the evangelist, Rev. Guy L. VIII
son. who is. now preaching every
night at the McCabe Memorial Meth
odist church. But it is not this which
strikes the nearer so forcefully as the
spiritual truths e%nunciated. For near.
~ three weeks there has been servic'
es daily at this church. Saturdays ex.
cepted, in which Mr.. Wilson has
preached and while various subjects
have been discussed there has been
but one line of teaching followed.
From first to last it has been 1.-THE re.
deeming blood and the cleansing spir
it."
The need Of fleeing from the wrath
of an offended God, the %viciousness of
the unregenerated heart human heart,
the love of a risen Redeemer and Saw.
iour and the power OF. the Spirit has
been the central thought all, the time.
