METHODIST CHURCH
DEDICATED SUNDAY
Bishop W. O. Shepard Presides
and Preaches at the Morning
Hour—Impressive Ceremonies
Large Congregation.
CRITTENDEN OIL CO. TO ANSWER CALL

Enthusiastic Welcome to Team
The new Methodist Episcopal
church was dedicated in Norman
last Sunday morning, Bishop W.
0. Shepard presiding.
The services were beautiful and
inspiring, and those who attended
felt that a revival of Methodism
had come, and it had. The build-
ing wns decorated with flowers and
plants, typical ot the purifying
power of God's love, and the ser-
mon was stimulating and uplifting,
directing the people along the lines
of higher living and inspiring them
in Christian fellowship and a more
fuller realization of the importance
of worshiping God in spirit and in
truth, for it is to Him we go in
time of need, real need.
At the eveuing hour Dr. Hislop,
president of the Oklahoma Metho-
dist University at Guthrie, deliver-
ed a very able and impressive ser-
mon, and all felt it was good to be
there. Special services are being
held every evening and will close
Sunday evening with a Sunday
School Rally-
The new building contains in its
basement, a kitchen well provided
with cupboards, tables, etc., three
small Sunday school class rooms
capable of taking care of fifteen or
twenty in a class, two toilets, a
large dining room, and a large as-
sembly room. The dining room
and assembly room are connected
by folding doors so they can be
thrown into one room. The base-
ment is thus capable of splendid
use in Sunday school work, and
will also meet all needs as a place
for social anil community gather-
ings, where it is desired to have
ample facility room for furnishing
refreshments to large number of
people. The main floor of the
building has a goodsized auditor-
ium, with a lecture room that will
accommodate 100 people, which
can be shut off from the main room
by rolling partitions. Over this
lecture room is a balcony directly
facing the pulpit with accommoda-
tions for an equal number. A
commodious pulpit and choir pint-
form and pastor's study are on the
north side of the auditorium. A
large vestibule communicates di-
rectly with the main auditorium,
the lecture room. or the balcony.
Above the vestibule are the jani-
tor's rooms. The church is seated
in its main room, with oak pews;
with good pews in the lecture
room and balcony, and with chairs
in the basement. The arrange-
ment is such that there is not a
seat in the building where the view
is not good. The windows are of
fine opalescent glass, and some of
them contain pictures of great
beauty. The tinting and sttpcil
work on the walls and ceiling of
the main floor are as beautiful as
anything to be found in the city.
The electric lighting system is
complete and well adapted to the
needs of the building at a mini-
mum of current use. Provision
has been made for practically
every detail of comfort in a house
of worship It is a fine building,
and will stand as a monument
Acting under the instruction of
Presiding Elder W. M. Wilson,
R. A. Brigham went to Blanchard,
Sunday, where he conducted the
services at the M. E. Church,
South, Sunday morning and at
Freeney, three miles east, in the
afternoon. At the evening hour
at Blanchard the Presiding Elder
preached an able sermon, showing
the importance of co-operation in
church work, the necessity of moral
as well as financial support, all of
which is applicable, not only to
the church at Blanchard, but to all
the churches everywhere. After
the sermon the Lord's Supper was
administered, and the fourth
quarterly conference held.
The Blanchard church owns its
own church building and parson-
age and the church is out of debt,
which is certainly many marks to
its credit.
That is a splendid country, rich
in resources and extensive in its
soil production, and is made up
and composed of high-minded and
broad-guaged people, and suffice to
say that morality and Christianity
will one day be flowing at a very
high ebb in Blanchard.

The progressive merchants and
business men ot Norman have ar-
ranged with Berry & Meyer, pro-
prietors of the University and Or-
pheuin theatres, to give a free
matinee ever\ Saturday to the
farmers and their families.
Both shows are used in order to
give everybody a chance to attend.
And, too, the same pictures are
used at both theatres so that there
will be no confusion or niisiiuder-
for standing. No tickets or red tape
lots of any kind. The doors id' the
•are 1 two theatres are thrown wide open
J to the country people—men, j
I women and children. The shows J
Shives have begin promptly at 2:d0 p. in. and
where thev ; (doses at 11:30.
Last Saturday there was a large
j representation of farmers on the
streets of Norman—larger than
I has been seen here in many a day—
and the two shows were packed to
the guards, and all were well pleas-
j ed with the performance. Berry
& Meyer are showing good pictures
and have large .crowds at all times.
By having this free entertain-
| ment, farmers can bring their
families to town to do their trad-
ing and at the same time have ati
hour's rest and entertainment with-
out any additional expense.
If the weather continues favor-
i able, a record-breaking crowd will
j be expected in Norman next Satur-
day .
On account of the Oklahoma-
Kansas football game the shows
j will begin at 2:00 p. m. Saturday
' instead of 2:30
which rested on its banner may be
[attributed directly to the magnifi-
cent manner in which Bennie
I Owens' warriors handled the for-
I ward pass.
The crowd that witnessed the
I contest was by far the greatest
gathering ever at a fooball game
in Texas. At two o'clock, an
hour before the scheduled time for
the game, about a thousand people
were seated rn the large grand-
j stand and the bleachers across the
field were practically filled. Be-
fore the first kick-oil ever> avail-
able seat on the ground was taken,
and a mass of humanity six and
eight deep crowded against the
fences on all four sides of the en-
I closure.
It was a partisan crowd, too,
and the supporters of Oklahoma's
Maroon and VV hite almost equaled
in numbers those who favored the
Orange and White of Texas. At
the south end of the grand-stand
the Oklahoma students and rooters
gathered with their baud and they
cheered and urged their team din-
ing the entire time of play."'

From every section comes flat-

which looked so slim a few weeks
ago. The weather has been ideal,
just the thing for cotton. The
stalks are fruiting fast and the

is claimed that every day the sun
