TEARS AND SCREAMS AT A. M. E.
CHURCH LAST NIGHT
Eloquence of Pastor Causes Great
Commotion Among Members, Who
Threw Hats, Pocket Books And
Other Missiles at Him.

The A. NJ. l.. church was ablaze in
the flames of the Holy Ghost last
night while Rev. c. X. Tucker, pastor
in charge, promulgated the word OF
God to very much enthused mem
berShhip. Rev. Tucker has never ap-
peared more forceful in his argu-
ments on the scriptures than he did
in his sermon last night
As he approached the climax of his
pulpit eloquence screams from wo-
men in various parts of the house
rang out and in few minutes doz-
en- or more feminine forms were up
dancing and going through other pc
culiar motions which would make an
athelctic professor open his eyes in
aStoniShmeni. And they were not all
young women, by any means. Some
of them were aged. but they acted
with the same agility common TO the
younger women.
Several women became hySterical
and gave vent to their feeling in the
flow of tears, while others of a more
emotional temperament threw their
hats, gloves. booklet books etc, at the
pastor as he literally beamed over
with the enthusiasm of his inspira-
ton. Following this wonderful SER
mon several were added to the MEM
berShip of the church.

umns Of this paper that we would

orders for more than 1,4OO extra

conclusively that the Star is in de-

been pleased with results obtained
through this medium.
The Star is highly gratified with
this signal recognition of its merits
as an advertising medium and Of the
good will and confidence reposed in

denced by their eagerness to buy ex-

ness men who have seen fit TO patro-
nize this paper. We believe every
one of them deserves your support.
In fact we know they do, because
they are all home enterprises, help
ing TO make Tulsa the greatest city
in the world. Every dollar you put
in the hands of Tulsa merchants, in
one way or another, comes back to
you and at the same time help to
build and strengthen home indus
tries. On the other hand, the money
you spend with forign enterprises,
through the mail order system, adds
nothing to your home townand takes
away much from your own possible
tiles. For this reason, If for no 9th
er, every Tulsan should heartily sup
port home enterprises.
Remember. we can not do any toe
much for our home town. Let us al
