372 votes, Egbert Allen 1863, and
Elton Parker 241. 7. F. Gatewood

Can't you close your eyes and hear

YOUR PASTOR LIKE CHICKEN?
Think of This Preachers Job;
Cooking for Family Of Them

You women who have entertained
the minister at Sunday dinner
You who have learned from per-
sonal experience the truth OF the
oft-told story about his appetite for
roast chicken
You can sympathize with Mrs
John L. Brandt, OF Muskogee. Okla
For Mrs. Brandt is not only
preacher herself. but almost every
member OF her family is a preacher.
You can appreciate the number OF
chickens that must go on the stove
under those circumstances when the
family gets together for dinner.
Mrs. Brandt is pastor of the First
Christian Church at Beland. Okla.
Her husband Is pastor Of the Firs.
Christian Church at Muskogce.
One OF his sons. John Brandt, Jr..
has the first Christian charge at
Herrln, H., while his daughter Mrs.
II. L. Berg, has the First Christian
Church at Wagner. Okla. And
when Il so happens that Mrs. Berg
is visiting her parents her husband
takes her place in tho pulpit
And Rev. Brandt, Sr., during his
ministry has induced 600 young men
outside OF his own family to enter
the ministry.
Brandt was born in 1850 In tho
old Phil Sheridan home at Summer
set. o.. and started his professional
career as a member OF a stock COM
pany.
Successful as an actor. he was not
satisfied. He decided 10 enter the
ministry. became a travelling evan
gelist and finally settled in Mus
kogee.
