$1.00 PER V E A R
Great Universal Laymen Missionary Con-
vention Assembled In Oklahoma Cityto
Consider "The World For Christ."
Oklahoman.
With 2,000 people lifting their voic-
es in "Onward Christian Soldier,"
1 200 of them representing business
men of Oklahoma, with the strains
from the mighty song floating out over
the wind-swept streets, with the very
roof of the Auditorium trembling from
the vibration of the lusty singing of
men of commercial affairs, the first
Laymen's Missionary convention ever
held in the state opened Tuesday eve-
ning with a banquet at the Auditor-
ium, with over 1„200 men seated
around the board and fully 8,000 wo-
men and visiting men in the galler-
ies
Men from all walks of life were
present, and it was hard to tell the
minister from the real estate man,
the Sunday school superintendent
from the construction superintendent,
the missionary from the money king.
All were at the same board, all were
on common ground of Christian fel-
lowship an- all were men in the ranks
of the great new army whose slogan
is "The World for Christ."
No scene in the days of the crusad-
ers could equal that of Tuesday night
No army of loin and armed with
broadsword could be as impressive as
was the assemblage of business men,
girded T/ith zeal, armed with intelli-
gence, led by determination and forti-
fied by rifht.
Opens with Invocation.
The banquet opened promptly at
6:30 o'clock with invocation by Bish-
op F. K. Brooke and for forty-five
minutes the hum of happy voices, the
rattle of dishes, the ring of spoon and
the tank of the ftirk filled the vast
Tjuilding as the laymen dined. While
the last courso of the banquet was be-
ing finished, the Amphion quartet,
composed of O. K. Higgins, Harry
l.ewis, Cecil P. Forsythe and CJ. M.
Thompson, sang "Speed Away."
As the quarto strains of the beauti-
ful song floated through the building,
the hum ceased, victuals w re aban-
doned. the rattle of forks died awav.
and silence prevaded the throng. Af-
ter the applause subsided. Secretary
E. V. Snell called upon the assemblage
to sing "Onward Christian Soldier,'.
With a hearty good will, with lusty
voice and swaying bcdies did the men
respond to the rail and every voice
thrilled and trembled in the inspiring
liymn as the words progressed.
Judge C. B. Ames, the speak-master
of ceremonies, made an address in
which he set forth the cause of the
banquet. He spoke at length and said
in part: "This is the finest body of
men I have ever seen gathered in Ok-
lahoma. No subject except that of re-
ligion could be of an importance great
enough to cause the representative
business men of this state to leave
their homes and business for four
days to come to this city and be pres-
ent at this banquet tonight.
"The assemblage here tonight is a
mighty tribute to the purity and re-
ligious zeal of this state and it is to
the credit of the state that representa-
tive men of this commonwealth have
gathered here tonight to assist in
spreading the gospel over the world
and to send to the heathen of foreign
lands the word of God."
A Man's Job.
After speaking of the origin of the
Laymen's Missionary movement, of its
significance and of its remarkable
growth, Judge Ames introduced the
first speaker of the evening. C. F. Reid
of San Francisco, who was for 17
years a missionary to China and three
years in Korea.
Mr. Reid spoke on the "Significance
of the laymen's Movement." The key-
thought of this speaker was that the
task of saving the world for Christ is
a man's job and that the time has
come when men must assume that
work, that the time has come Vlien
is it imp:
with the
tion
the women can no longer be expected
to bear the burden of carrying the tid-
ings of Christ to the foreign lands,
the time has come when the Sunday
school collections are inadequate to
longer support the army of workers
who leave their native country, home
and friends and go out into the wilds
to save tht heathen.
The speaker said the Laymen's Mis-
sionary movement has come at the
time God intended it. He stated that
it would have been out of place fifty
years ago, but that it is the movement
of the age, the movement which the
world has been waiting thousands of
years to see and that it was now start-
ed so well that nothing can ever stop
it.
({najlc's Message.
Mr. Reid was followed by Bishop j
William Alfred Quayle, who was in
his usual happy vein. A little passage j
at words between the bishop and j
Judge Ames caused general laughter I
and applause but as Bishop Quayle j
drifted into the earnest message which
he delivered, every sound was hushed |
every man leaned forward to drink in |
the words, every mind was opened to j
the wonderful words of the gifted man )<1"P!'t
who for forty-five minutes held his
audience breathless.
With wonderful mastery, the bishop,
brought his audience up to the highest u
tension, but to relieve the tenseness!
with a laugh and a humorous remark. I
But his address was the most impres- I
sive one he had uttered in weeks, and
it went thome to the heart of 'every
man and woman who listened to him.
The bishop said in part:
"It is truly a sight to make men
happy when brawny men with brawnv
brains stand out before the world and
say the the great word of God.
"The greatst benefactor of man was
He who told the world about the
vorl:i. was He who mad the world
think of the world, was He who made
man talk and thfnk of man. -|
"It was not Jew, nor was it Roman, |
nor was it Turk, it was man, that the
Christ loved, that the Christ died for.
that Christ came to save, and we are
gathered here tonight to save our
brother, save the world, to save man
—that's the word—man."
Achievements in India.
Following the bishop Sherwood Ed-
dy. for thirteen years a missionary in
South India and a former Kansas boy.
told his audience the wonderful stories
of what the Gospel had done in India.
If told wonderful tales of the native
workers, who in their zeal for Christ,
work for two and three dollars a
month, keep body and soul together
somehow and are saving souls. He
thriled his audience with word pic-
tures of the native students, the devil-
worshippers, the women, the child
wives and the white garbed, hair
shorn women who are widows at 14
and 15 years of age.
it was a mighty plea that this man
who has carried for thirteen years the
light to the intelligence of South In-
dia, made for his adopted country and
the people he is trying to bring into
the world of Christianity.
The audience heard more from the
eloquent lips of the missionary,
learned more about real conditions in
India and realized more fully the hor-
rible conditions which obtain in that
country than ever before and many
times during the long message which
the speaker delivered did a shiver go
through the listeners. A call was sent
by this man to civilization for pity, for
help, for zeal, enthusiasm and assist-
ance for India, and his words carried
conviction.
The banquet and initial session of
the convention was pronounced by
those who came from other conven-
tions to this one to be one of the
most successful and enthusiastic yet
held.

Paris, Feb. 15.—M. Li ard, vice-rector
of the university of Paris, has been ad-
vised officially that Theodore Roosevelt
will reach Paris about April 14 and that
the length of his stay prooably will not
cxceed three or four days.
The French government Is anxious to
receive the former president of. the
United States with the highest honors.
French society is prepared to lionize
him; the literary and scientific organ-
izations desire to entertain him. and the
American colony would like to give a
grand banquet In his honor.
But Mr. Roosevelt has discreetly al-
lowed It to be understood that he par-
ticularly desires to avoid any appear-
ance of ostentation and that ho will pre-
serve, ns far as possible, merely the role
of a man of learning, In which capacity
lio accepted the Invitation to lecture at
the Sorbonne, extended to him through
Ambassador Jusserand while he still oc-
cupied the White House. Mr. Roose-
velt's wishes will be carried out in the
main, but the government has declined
to forego the honor of entertaining
him, and the ex-president has accepted
the invitation of President Fallleres to
tie his guest at the Elysee Palace.
A large reception will he held in the
grand saloon of the university nt which
the lecturer will meet a brilliant as-
semblage of French savants, including
"the Forty Immortals." April 16, Mr.
Roosevelt will bo received In solemn
audience by the institute of which he Is

ian church Tuesday night, upon the

Lawton, Okla., Feb. 12. Commanche

State's sale of public school lands. The
six days' sale of Commanche lands clos-
ed to-day,with 160 tracts out of 173 or-
iginally scheduled for sale, disposed of,

ed to another branch of the Federal
Government, no matter how much the in-
formation may be desired. No court ev-
er has or ever will Ignore this 'immunity'
from personal or business Involvement
bestowed in return for information re-
quired by the United States Census In-
quiries. To do otherwise would impair,
if not wholly destroy, the scientific
eiency of the census work. So far as the
live-stock census is concerned, the bur-
eau. following fair, impartial, and un-
biased methods, quickly separates the
person, firm, or corporation from the
facts furnished, and private or corporate
identity in connection with any census
data remains forever sealed and sacred
in the great safes of the Census Office.
The Director's Report.
In his annual report for 1909 to Sec-
retary Nagel. of the Department of Com-
merce and Labor, Census Director Du-
rand stated:
"The thirteenth census act is more
specific than that for the Twelfth Census
with respect to penalties upon super-
visors. enumerators, or other employees
who disclose information which they se-
cure. or who make false returns. While
there is no evidence that employees of
the Census Bureau in the past have been
guilty of Improper disclosure of In-
formation—except, possibly. In a very few
cases—these more specific provisions for
penalties are highly advantageous. Al-
though the census law requires persons
interrogated to furnish the information
called for on the duly authorized sch-
edules. reliance for prompt and accurate
returns must rest largely upon the good
will of those making the returns. Manu-
facturers. farmers, and others will not
freely disclose the needed Information
unless they feel assured that It will be
treated in strict confidence. The Census
Bureau exists solely for the collection of
general statistics, and is not. and should
not be. an instrument for disclosing the
affairs of individual persons, firms, or
corporations. Returns made by the Cen-
sus Bureau are in no case published in
such a way as to identify the business
or concerns, nor are they disclosed to
any person aside from the employees of
the bureau itself—not even to other de-
partments of the Government or to oth-
er bureaus o fthe Department of Com-
merce and Labor."

BAM) MUSIC FOR (UTHRIE
Efforts are being made to organize
the First Regiment band into first
class condition, so Guthrie can have
band concerts next summer. Lieut.
A. ('. Garrison, who has charge of the
National Guard bund, says there ar
enough first class musicians in Guth-
rie that a good leader could organize
into one of the best bands in the
country. There is also such a leader
in the city that can be got for a reas-
onable salary. The idta of Lieut.
Garrison is that a portable band stand
could be erected, and this could be
moved so that the band would play
in different parts of the city.
The capital city, with the aid of the
military, should have the best band in
the state. Such a possibility would
be a great pleasure and make great
fame for the city.
