tell whether these aids have been
helps or hindrances. And while en-
thusiasts will at once arise and de-
claim in a loud voice that the good
these institutions have done can be
seen already, this is not the fact; it
will take many years yet to determine
conclusively.
If Christ is the Great Master whom
the church declares He is, and if the
church is divine institution and
given to the world by the Father,
through the Son, then to assume that
this institution needs bolstering up by
man-made organizations, led by men
and women not trained in the gospel
work, is assuming a large degree of
superior information or discernment.
AS we have said before, it will take
a century or two to show conclusively
that these makeshifts from the hand
of man-often weak men not willing
to accept the church as a whole, but
anxious to have finger in the affairs
of the very institution to which they
are not willing to give full allegiance
ARE help or a hindrance. It
were well to watch and wait.

IRON OUT
PIPE Line
PROBLEM
Money for Loading Rack and
Gathering Lines Pledged;
Now Up to Producers to
Test Oil Wells.

That the financial problem in the
promotion of an oil loading rack at
Cement has been solved, and that
the rack will be built if producers
will agree to supply enough oil to as
sure the financial success of the
proposition, was disclosed at the
Chamber of Comerce meeting last
night
The financial problem was solved
when Mr. Montgomery, representing
the Gorton interests in the Cement
pool, and well known oil man here,
declared in a talk to the members
present that the Gorton company
would take all stock in the enter
prise that could not be sold to local
people. Seven thousand one hun
dred dollars worth of stock has been
pledged by local men Rld it is be-
lieved that the rest will be sold to
the Gorton interests, according to
T. j. Brown, secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce. 1t is estimated
that $4,000 vii lbe required to
build the loading rack on the Frisco
trackage at Cement and the gather
ing lines to various wells.

of ]. H. Griffith, r. j. Brown, Alger

tracts that are to be submitted to
the producers in he Cemen field, in
an attempt to secure all the oil that
is produced in the field for the load
ing rack. Should these contracts be
secured, work will probably be st1rt-
ed on the building OF the rack at
once, it was pointed out at the
meeting.
/ The necessity of immediate action
on the loading rack project was en-
phasized at the meeting held in the
Chamber of Commerce rooms last
night. 1t was pointed out that un-
less action was taken Immediately,
other cities or possibly trusts would
take up the enterprise and build the
rack: when would virtually give An
