Because IL organized faction Of society

II Christ Came To Tulsa.

Editor World; II Christ came to Tulsa---why
do We speculate? He said Himself that the
world would see Him more and He meant
Il. A human being couldn't see him. Paul
couldn't when Christ comes back to this, world
there will be no humanity to see Him, but His
presence will bring the first resurrection out
from their graves. The Jews are in expectancy
and many churches are preaching His return,
and no doubt He IL near, so near that the ma e.
tons are In distress.
If he should come to Tulsa, what church
would He visit? II lie taught the same as lie
did when He was here, there isn't Il church In
Tulsa or anywhere else that would receive Him
with what they preach, We would surely have

DISTRICT ATTORNEY
BELIEVES LINDSEY
SHOULD BE JAILED
Declares Jnrist'S Case Will Re-
ceivc Ordinary Attention
When 1t Arrives

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 7.-(United
Press) --"If the story accredited to
Judge Ben B. Lindsey in a United
Press dispatch Wednesday is true,
he ought to go to JAIL" declared Dis
trict Attorney Phillip S. Van else.
The story referred to by Van else
was a signed statement given to the
United Press by Judge Lindsey in
which he commented on his one year
Jail sentence for contempt Of court
because he would not betray the con-
fidence of a 12-year-old boy in a
murder trial.
In the statement Judge Lindsey
declared that only he and the boy
knew who killed the boys father,
John Wright, in July, 1916. The
boys mother was acquitted of the
charge of murder.
1t was this particular declaration
to which Van else referred.
Judge Lindsey defeats the whole
purpose Of keeping the boys conf
dence by such method" Van Cise
declared. 1T may be several weeks
before Judge Lindsey's case comes
to my Office When it does this Of
fee will act as in any other case.
Because Judge Lindsey is mixed up
in 1t doesn't mean it will receive
either more or less attention when
the time for final action comes"
