PASTOR REPORTS
ON CHURCH MEET
Rev. w. A. Roach Back From Presby
Conference Of Laymen at Kansas
City; Gives Report Of Com
mite cas- Submitted.

Rev. w. A. Roach, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of this
city, has just returned from Kansas
City, where he attended the Presby-
terian laymen's conference, which
was attended by over 500 ministers
and laymen representing churches In
the middle west and southwest.
Church problems were discussed
and matters pertaining to the carry
ing on of the church work in the
territory represented, were given
careful consideration. Rev. Mr.. Roach
says. A committee of findings, named
to sum up the results of the discus
sions, submitted the following report
which was adopted by the confer
ence as representative Of the work
done:
Especially do we urge that each
church carry out in so far as pos
sible the particular program OF sea
sonal activities in which our boards
have agreed for the church year.
"That a continuous campaign OF
stewardship be carried forward in
each local church by use OF all the
methods suggested by our Steward
ship department, until the church
members as a body are converted
to the practice of Christian steward
ship To help this forward, we feel
sectional conferences on stewardship
and local study classes are indispen-
sible.
Every member mobilization, until
each member is brought into line for
the activities of the church and made
vital force in extending Christs
kingdom.
"Missionary education, as the in
formed church is the only one that
can be counted on for sustained and
fruitful activities.
I'VE urge anew upon all our peo.
pie the supreme value of individual
evangelism. No amount OF organ
ization can take the place Of this
The personal workers group IS thea
most important thing in the llfe OF
the church, next to the preaching OF
the Gospel and personal prayer and
study Of the Word 1t is our opinion
that the most valuable type OF lay
mems organization is that which Is
built up about these two ideas OF
studying Gods Word and personal
effort to win men to Christ
"Your committee feels most OF all
the compelling challenge OF present
world conditions, to the Church o.
Christ. We look out on war
weary and troubled world. In Jesus
christ. and Him crucified, the churcf
is entrusted with the worlds onl!
hope. AS the eyes Of the world turn
to America for help, we pray ina
neither selfishness nor fear or hur

Police Wade Ankle Deep IN "Red'
Hootch Searching for Clues to
Burglars Who Made $4,000
Haul on Warehouses.

st. Louis, Dec. 9.-Police today
were wading ankle deep in pools OF
bonded whiskey at the Jack Daniel
Distilling company here, seeking
clues to the identity of twelve ban
dts who last night made prisoners
of four armed guards and carried Off
300 cases and barrels Of liquor valued
at $4,000.
The bandits, working smoothly and
deliberately, disarmed the private

guard and two watchmen OF an ad-
joining plant before raiding the store
room.
Twenty five barrels of wh's'Sey
we're accidentally overturned by the

GRADY -0|tER At 81
START NEW YEAR
That Is outlook With Reported
SpuddIng of New Hole In Sec
ton 1857, Two New Gassers
mittee as Submitted.

The outlook today is that Grady
county will be able to start the new
year right-with an oil well.
After losing the hole where an oil
sand was picked up at 1927 feet,
Arrasmith and McBee have skidded
their rig in section 19-5n-7w and re-
ports today were that they are spud-
ding the new hole. They have ~
days before the first of the new
year and barring accidents, should
be able to get down to the pay level
and have casing set by the time the
worn out old year is skidded into
the discard 1t is hardly probable
that they will be able to complete
the well by January 1, but 1t should
come soon after that.
Oil men are practically unanimous
in the belief that Arrasmith and
McBee will usher in an oil well at
their present location. There seems
little doubt that the sand they
picked up in the hole which was
lost when the casing became frozen
would have made a commercial well
had they been able to get the cas-
ing set on the sand.
Early next week is scheduled to
see two new gassers for the north
end Of the field when the American
Drilling compayn and Stogner and
Baldwin wells are completed. Both
are in the southwest of section 23-
5n-Sw and are the first wells west
of the Little Washita river bend
through the field TO get the pay
sand.
It was stated this week by an Of
ficial Of the American Drilling com.
pany that they would drill in on De-
cember IL, thus giving the casing an
extra day. or two to set. 1t is be-
lieved that the Stogner well will be
drilled in about the same time
There has been no announcement o.
change in the plans Of the Amer
ican company.
In addition to these wells, the
Skirvin well, just east and slightly
north of the American well is ce
mented on the sand for an expected
completion the latter part of mex
week. The Atlantic Oil company's
well just east of Farwell townsitt
in section % should be cemented
At least two other wells are on the
sand.

No Trial for GOU.
During Term, Says
Prediction TOdaY

Oklahoma City, Dec. 9.--Gov. J. b.
A. Robertson, Oklahoma, will not be
tried on a charge OF receiving a
bribe, while in office, it appeared
certain today.
The governors term expires Jan. l.,
and the date of trial will probably
be set for the latter part of February
or the first part Of March, according
to District Judge J. w. Bolen, Ada.
where the trial will be held.
Bolen yesterday refused request
of James p. Hepburn, Okmulgee
county attorney, prosecuting the gov
ernor's case, to call special term of
district court before Jan. 2, in order
that the governor may answer to the
charges before the expiration of his
term.
Civil cases will be heard at the
opening of the special term Of court
in January, Judge Bolen said. This
will delay criminal cases probably
two months.
| An order by Chief Justice John B.
Harrison Of the state supreme court,
that District Judge Thomas A. Ed
wards, Cordell, proceed to Ada and
convene a special term of court for
Tuesday to try the governor, was
overruled by majority vote Of the
state supreme court yesterday.
