cards say In part:

weekly luncheon the Tulsa Adver

Gordon is a real hero. He has
been there and he gave the ad men
decidedly the most vivid an d
realistic picture of war they have
yet heard. He confirmed the story
of the brutal crucifixion Of Can

the lifeless body with his own eyes.
He depicted lie In the trenches in

BE CARED FOR BY CHURCH
DIR. Thackery Makes Statement That
Ministers Are Not Given Right
TO Make Money.

DR.. John f. Thackery, superln-
tendent Of Tulsa district Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, who is
leading the Methodist forces TO Sc
cure funds to pension retired min
listers and is in charge Of the cam
paign in the Tulsa district in an
Interview today said:
Il wonder IL we have fully CON
sidered how heavily the stress and
strain of these times are falling on
our retired brethren? With prices
mounting to such unheard of heights,
the profits of the book concern so
greatly reduced and many of them
unable to work and earn anything,
even at manual labor or have the
diversion OF mind that comes from
work Of any kind and helps so much
to overcome depression. the burden
is falling very heavily on these toll
worn and stopped shoulders. Work
would he a relief and a Joy to many
of them If they were able and
privileged to do it.
I'm our engrossment In tho great
tasks that crowd upon us in these
times we must not forget these
fathers In our own household. Fail
ure to care for them would bring us
under the censure of James state
ment that those who fail to care for
those OF their own household have
denied the faith We must not
allow our interest in others to cause
us to neglect our own. II we do
this we may know that before we
could do such thing We must have
lost some of the finer qualities OF
Christian character, must have de
MED the faith
I'VE must remember that we put
upon these men a task that made II

practically impossible for them to
provide for themselves AS other men
do. We did not pay them enough so
that they could lay anything up. A
mere laying up process is very slow
one at best and dinvestment OF money
Is very difficult for a preacher. We
gave them so much TO do and such
engrossing work that they had no
time tn>n1Hke money, We were al
ways inclined to mistrust the min
lister who 'dabhled in business and
hair way accused him OF insincerity.
And since we have made II impossi-
