QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The MiIkweed Again

j. F. G., b. r. and A, =. c, have writ
ten encomiums of the juice of milkweed
as a cure for warts. They applied the
Juice to the warts for periods of many
days on end. The warts disappeared
many weeks later.
Answer-A fair illustration of human
credulity. Warts come and go, unlimited
and untreated, and II you happen to cross
your fingers few weeks before the GO
ing of wart you have discovered a new
cure. Milkweed would no doubt have a
similar influence upon pneumonia, ty-
phoid fever, sour stomach or boil on the
neck People seem to think there must
be some cure for everything-why doesn't
some one market the Tnfallibe Essence
of Milkweed for Warts, Miseres. Coughs,
Colds and Catarrh?

A Word About Pastor Whitaker.
one year ago last Sunday Pastor

discouraged foes within and without

received orders to move. Whatever
TO be done must be did at once, he
sought refuge in a hall; there he con.
tinued to preach and pray until God
provided another place a few Brethren
led by Brother Henry, resolved to
build a temporary place of worship,
where we now abide The postor was
supported by few members while
many stood afar off Today we are
proud OF him, his life is beyond re-
proach; his record is fine, his deport-
ment is good. his ability excellent as
preacher. Oklahoma knows him as
leader, he is safe and sound. a wise
counselor, a good preacher and a great

worthy OF this little commendation,
and more. We love him because he
is not afraid. We love him because
he can do things We love him be-
cause he is a man TO his word. We
love him because he is worthy to be
loved If Zion can be built this leader
can build Tulsa should be proud OF
him, because he is safe in the home

say, all praise to pastor Whitaker!
