The address was rich in Illustrations
and repete with anecdote.
His stories will be told today on the
street and in the stores and homes.
Mr. SaXton sang darkness fine song,
"A Constant Friend"
lie will sing this evening The Holy
Book by Excel.
Mrs. SaXton will play a violin solo

In his pulpit messages this week Mr..

prehensive way an adequate Bible

department Of the church." said the
evangelist. The Mastsr teacher in
giving his instructions to his disciples,
said to them Go teach all nations
Also He told them to teach how to
observe all things | have commanded"
To do this teaching properly and
wisely and helpfully we must have
trained teachers. The great need of the
church in the present day is trained
leaders Men and women Of faith and
and vision are needed to
lead on in this the most important and
glorious enterprise that engages the
attention Of men. We need men and
women who know how to teach, how to
serve, how to direct others. The an.
swer to this call to efficiency is in
training Training classes for officers,
teachers, missionary workers, social
workers, etc, should be established and
in every Bible School that
seeks to serve in a good way.
Evangelism is the crowning glory of
the Bible School, and the finest evangel.

the people of a community must also
seek to serve that community. 1t must

Our schools are not in existence for
or physiological purposes
but for life purposes. We are here to
help life, to mould young life, to en-
rich life, to put gladness and righteous

are not here to sit and sing ourselves
away to everlasting bliss" If that is

The Golden Gate

The Golden Gate well, on the Gill
farm, section "a. 4s.2w, has been hay
ing lots of trouble with the water en-
countered about 200 feet above the
present depth, and has also had a little
fishing job for an S-inch bit that was
lost at or in the neighborhood Of

The drllers latest report is that ne
has recovered the bit, and is now drill
ing at 1850 feet and is still carrying
the S-inch casing, and that the water
is not entirely shut off as yet. He
further reports that he has a good
straight hole, and that he can carry
this S.inch pipe to depth Of 1000
feet if necessary, and should he have
to do this, it will be u great help in
the way of handling his siX-inch to
the completion Of his contract which
is $500 feet.

HeWitt-lI -lIealdtOn

Among the local oil men there are
several who are firmly of the opinion
that the Hewitt and the Healdton
fields will be joined by producing sands.
one Of these men whose business it is
TO keep up with all activities in the
county states that when the Texas well
at Hewitt reached the sand and began
flowing that RoXana well No. on the
Westheimer 4 Daube farm in section
25.4-3 in the southeast extension to
Healdton, quit flowing. This incident
leads this person to believe that there
is an intimate connection between Hew-
lit and Iealdton sands and that Hewitt
will take a westward trend.

district to Robertson, in Garvin county,
where two wells are now drilling, state
that the road through the wild Horse
bottom is very bad and that some work
needs to be done They also state that
good road through this bottom

The straw lid went by proclamation
Monday afternoon, said proclamation
emanating from the sanctum of the
mayor, in the city hall, and while it
may be scoffed at as unofficial and
without the sanction of law it would
be rather hazardous for any employe
about the city hall or any Of the city
departments to appear with a katie

placed in such condition that would

First to Originate and
Use Forks and Napkins on
Table of Family Home

'Fingers were made before forks"
and that is why we have napkins.
Existence today would be bad in
deed without that most essential of
all table appointments, the napkin.
But can one conceive of it's impor-
tance to our ancestors, who only few
hundred years ago ate without forks?
For, as we know, it was not until
the seventeenth century that forks
made their bow to the most elite So
ciety of England, as substitute for
the time honored fingers. In Ho-
garth's picture of a "Guildhall Ban
quet" the whole illustrious company
are seen eating with their hands.
Small wonder at the necessity for the
napkin, which was used not only dur
ing the meal itself, but afterward
served the purpose of towel.
And then it was Italy, the home of
reawakened fastidiousness, as we'll as
the renaissance of art, that came for
ward with the inspiration for the new
adjunct of the table, the fork, which
somewhat modified uses of the napkin.
But as long indispensable, the nap
kin had become second nature and sur
wives to our day.
