Once in control Of State Gov
ernment, with Victor Berger,
Oscar Ameringer, Pat Nagle
and the rest Of the radicals as
the guiding hands, it will be a
sad four years for Oklahoma
and for Democracy. The disas-
ter of North Dakota is likely to
be repeated and multiplied.
Should Democrats. through
mere partisan prejudice, permit
such a thing to occur. it would
be a party record almost i'm
possible to live down in future
years.

When Mr.. Walton flatly
turned down the platform sug-
gested by a majority Of Demo-
crat voters he demonstrated
his contempt for Democracy in
its true form. That act proved
how willful and ruthless he can
be, when clothed with power or
the assumption of power. 1t
revealed that his real allegiance
is not to the Democratic party
and Democracy, but to Radical
League" Socialists and So
cialism.

But John Fields can be
elected only by the support of
large numbers Of those 150,751
Democrats, who voted against
Walton and the Shawnee plat
form, in the primary. Those
good people, though differing
in political faith, are Americans
first and partisans afterward.
They will not fail in this crisis.
Hundreds Of them are openly
working to elect John Fields.
Hundreds more are quietly sup
porting him by refusing to
actively support their party
candidate. All can, and thous-
ands upon thousands will say
little, but on election day, will
vote for John Fields, firm in
the faith that they serve their
party best by so doing.

The purpose Of those 150,751

vided their strength among sew

What is dogmatic assertion of immortality by the side of actual proof2 Though the Spiritualist is Unitarian, what he has proven to him self he offers to all religions. "fhe New Testament is solid Spiritualism,' Sir Arthur asserts unhesitatingly. Physics have proven that there are overtones and undertones of sound not detectable to the ear; that there are color vibrations not registered by the human eye. Physicists at the University of London have photo graphed--as physical fact, not as a psychic manifestation - the aura of people; every one of us, they say, is outlined in definite color, rays that flash from our body. Argue from this and from the gradual return of the churches to mysticism, and it would be unfair to close ones mind to any proofs in any direction. To most or us the actual communication with the spirit world must be subjected to fur ther proof, just as the signals from Mars have yet to be settled as not merely being electrical disturbances. I'nt Sir Arthur believes that the proof of an after life, the ability to get in actual touch with those we love, will not alone be comfort which will give a richer meaning to religious belief. but 1t will alter our daily lives and

Perhaps you are like am-per- haps not-on the subject of Seventh Day Adventists.
 I hadn't an idea what they are, who they are; or any thi3g about them until a short time ago l asked Elder oscar F. Frank, pastor of the First Seventh Day Adventist church of Birmingham, to tell me something about them
 The First Seventh Day Adventist church of Birmingham stands in North Nineteenth street at Seventh avenue-unknown I dare say to many certainly to me-knowing only as I did, that they are a denomination a band of Christian workers who like Methodists and Baptists. and Presby- terians and Episcopalians and Catho- lies. are a definite denomination and through this denomination are doing a fine work
 Just to show my ignorance on the subject, l even went so far as to look in the Dictionary--my favorite past time and er-present help in time of trouble" and the enlightenment I got was this: "Adventists;" Christian History: One who makes the second personal coming of Christ a special feature in his doctrine; especially one who believes in the annihilation of ha fDir ell aY before the resurrection of the dead" (Second Adventist).
 That's that.
 And then 1t occurred to me that I was getting unusually interested; and curious on the subject and It also occurred to me that maybe other peo- pie would like some Knowledge of this subject, also and so I found my self asking Elder Frank to tell me Just What Seventh Day Adventlsts stand for In Christianity and what they Have accomplished"

c-eed and Mission

"In most points of faith Seventh day adventists agree with other pro testants, but is must be said of them that they are very positively opposed to all forms of what is commonly called worldliness. They have no pleasure in the movies, and the modern places of amusements. They think 1t Is a sin to wear jewelry for adornment. and to primp and powder and paint. They pay 6 ttths into their church treasury for the support of the ministry and their offerings to charity and church work nearly equal their tithes. And 90, about one fifth of their earnings go into the cause of their Savior who gave all for them. And no person will ba admitted into their membership who will not promise to pay an honest tithe and to give liberal offeringa- Only by such standard for tas~en- tire membership of tho chuyssh can they hope for that spiritual power that will enable the whole cfufch to carry the whole gospel to the whole world in this generation. .AudsthSs Is their purpose.v

 Elder Frank has served faithfully and Loyalty doing & great work here. far reaching in It's scope, gentle in it's administrations and loyal in its religious fervency.
 almost missed the chance of get ting the information desired from Elder Frank because of the fact that he was about to leave Birmingham when I approached him on the subject of his denomination and it's value to the Christian world, for his confer ence had just asked him to go to Montgomery and take charge of the work there-a task which he gladly accepted although greatly regretting to leave Birmingham where he has so many warm personal friends and large and happy acquaintance.
 Elder Franks successor will be Elder W. P. McLennan, who comes from Meridian, Miss. with the high est testimonials of fine Christian char acter and unusual ability. the trans fer having been made of the two telders during the past month.
 What Seventh Day Adventists stand
 for in Christianity
 "The Seventh Day Adventists held during the month of June the big Eest conference in the history of their denomination in San Fran cisco. Cal. There were thousands in attendance. Delegates were present from nearly every country und-r heaven. They have such general conference sessions once in four years, but this is by far the largest they have ever held" said Elder Frank. as 7. prelude to our conver- sation.
 "Thls denomination began It's sep arate existence in 's44. Beginning in a small way they have steadily grown during all the years since until now they number about 100000 members.
 They are endeavorlng to literally fulfill the last commandment of the Savior: Go ye Into all the world and preach the gospel to every crea- ture." They now have conference employed and regularly ordained missionaries in 109 countries. These missionaries are preaching the mes sage in t20 different languages, and circulating their literature in 100.
