"Burning Sin"
Scottie sure made a bunch of
people sore last night when he
delivered his red hot sermon on
"Burning Sin." There was sure
a hot time in the old town when
Scottie used tKe fine comb and
got a few of the fleas of sin that
were pestering Davenporters.
This sermon was full of philos
ophy, reason, logic, justice and
Jove. It wis illustrated and
demonstrated and did away with
a lot of mysticism. It was divid-
ed into five main parts:
~ I. Scottie showed the fact of
sin and proved it by the diction-
ary, the newspapers, the courts
and even by the skeptics.
II. He showed the reason of
it by clearly demonstrating that
if - - 'm'i lA- poWBr of choice he
must have a place to use it. He
showed that if there was no bad
there could be no good. With
no doubt there could be no faith.
No dark—no light. No bitter—
no sweet. No battle—no victory.
*111. Our trials and temptations
are the only stepping stones to
higher things. If you get the
temptations on top you will have
a*hard time, but Scottie says you
should get on top of your temp-
tations and trials.
IV. "Burning Sin." Scottie
proved that sin was a bad thing,
and everyone acknowledged that
it ought to be burned or did away
wilh. If we don't burn it our-
selves God will burn it for us and
that will be Hell.
V. God burned the original
Adamic sin thru his son, Jesus
Christ, on the Cross of Calvary,
that "whosoever believed on Him
might not perish but have ever-
fasting life."

sear Stroud, visiting her girl
friends.
Work on Chapman Hi
Jim Myers, the energetic and
enthusiastic road boss in South
Fox township, is certainly doing
some good and lasting work on
the Chapman hill, three-fourths
of a mile southeast of town. This
hill was been the worst place to
to get over in an auto, wagon,
buggy or even on horseback, for
many miles around.
Mr. Myers has decided to take
a try at making it passable, and
with the assistance of men who
are working out their poll tax,
he is blasting out the rock, and if
money and labor enough can be
secured he will grade it up and
cap it with clay, making it a per-
manent road. Keep the good
work going Bro. Myers, we're
for you.

What's Your Weight?
In his sermon on "The Law, or
Weighed in the Balances and
Found Wanting" Sunday night,
Scottie said that if a fellow
weighed himself in the scales of
his own goodness and used the
hypocrits as weights he would
weigh about 1500 pounds, but
that when he was weighed in the
scales of God's righteousness,
with the Ten Commandments as
weights he wouldn't weigh as
much as a goose hair on .a windy
day in Oklahoma.
To Build New Church
Quite a sum of money has been
raised by subscription towards
the building of a new Nazarene
church here in the place of the
one that was burned some few
weeks ago. A new organ has
already been bought, and work
will begin in a few days on the
new building, so we are informed
by Mrs. Lena Adams.
The burning of the church be-
fore it was entirely paid for was
quite a blow to the Nazarene
people, but they have stood firm
in their determination to have a
place of their own where they
can worship God, and the people
of the town are helping them
with a free good will.
A Dry Hole Tonight
Scottie has changed his sub-
ject for tonight and will preach
on "Broken Cisterns and Flow-
ing Fountains, or Wild Cattin'
and a Dry Hole." In this ser-
mon Scottie tells his life experi-
ence of being saved, backsliding,
as a gambler and drunkard,
his reclamation and complete
surrender to the cause of the
Master.

Miss Celeste Betremieux went

seventh grade in the public school
at that place.
Because of the people's willing-
ness to do their bit unhesitingly
and earnestly and of the great
desire to learn how they can be-
come efficient to help win the
war, the interest in the coming
Oklahoma State Fair ha.? never
before been so high. People
from the extreme eastern states
and from states as far west as
Arizona, Colorado and Montana
are entering their livestock and
foodstuffs of all kinds.
A few months ago fair manag-
ers were actually despondent*of
the outlook. Would people this
year seek pleasure and amuse-
ment? Would exhibitors enter
their products? Would people
actually seek the education to be
found at a State Fair? The last
week has dispelled all doubt as to
the immense success of the State
Fair in Oklahoma at least. Ap-
plications and letters requesting
information are being sought
and sent out by the .Secretary
each day while exhibits are com-
ing in from sections of the coun-
try and state never before rep-
resented. The Fair is co-operat-
ing with the Government in in-
ducing exhibits by offering an
unusually attractive premium
list. Indications point to a rec-
ord-breaking Fair.
This is the Eleventh Annual
State Fair to be held in Oklaho-
ma City, and the dates this year
are September 22 to 29 inc.
Quite a number of people seem
to be bothered with colds the
