I\x-Vice-President Chas. W. Fairbanks
is making stirring appeals to the cit-
izenship of Oklahoma to subscribe to
the Liberty Loan bonds. In Oklahoma
City yesterday he made five thirty
minute speeches in different churches,
telling it to them in earnest, vigorous
English, and bringing the people to
a relization of the crisis and to their
duty in the crisis. The big men of the
country are everywhere giving of their
time and eloquence and ability, at
their own expense in advocating this
patriotic movement.
—Oklahoma City citizens have sub-
scribed for nearly $2,750,000 of the
second Liberty Loan.
Rising from the ashes of defeat
which marked their every attempt in

on Saturday in the annual game at

j The victory was deserved in every
way for Bennie Owen sent onto the
field an Oklahoma eleven that was in
every way superior to the the taem
(that the Longhorns put their faith of
victory in. With machine-like regu-
j larity, with the exception of a couple
of costly fumbles, and by sheer power
and ability the wearers of the Crim-

emerging from the conflict with the

charge of the Sooners.

battled their way to a decisive vic-

| To typical Owen football—the pas-
sing variety—can %e given the credit
ifor the victory. The shining lights in

Davis, Durant and Graham. Supple-

| the unswerving strength shown by
aths ? ooaoooutof j the line, an the interfernece shown

"football sense" enabled Abbott to
flash on the horizon as another star
in the galaxy of luminaries that Ok-
lahoma University has produced in
years gone by. On a par with the work

Thompson Calls the Campaign
for Liberty Bonds.
Congressman Joe B. Thompson will
be in Norman on Thursday night, Oct.
25, 1917, to make an address on the
Liberty Loan proposition. The idea is
to give him an immense audience at
some central point —preferably the
Armory, if arrangements can be made
to turn the evangelistic meeting that
night into a Liberty Loan meeting. If
such arrangements cannot be made
the meeting will be held on the bank
corner or at the court house.
The University band will be present
and add its music to the interest of
the occasion, and a great patriotic
demonstration is beinp prepared for.
Congressman Thompson went south
yesterday morning, bound for Mari-
etta, where he was dated to deliver
an address at the largest church in
that city. He had been in Logan coun-
ty, where he delivered half a dozen
speeches at different points, to large
and intensely interested audiences.
Talking to the editor of the Tran-
script, Mr. Thompson said: "Mr.
Burke, I consider this a real 'Religious
Crusade,' and never in my life have
I entered into a campaign with all my
heart and soul as I have entered upon
this one. 1 regard the present as a
Yesterday was the best day of the
evangelistic meetings so far. In the
morning Mr. Lowry spoke of "The
Anointing of the Holy Spirit for Serv-
ice," At the close two or three hun-
dred Christian people dedicated them-
selves for this service. In the after-
noon the evangelist spoke to the wom-
en only. The Armory was filled with
women. Last night the subject was ihe
"Unpardonable Sin." Every seat was
taken and many stood throughout the
service. At the close of the sermon
twenty-six "hit the trail." The last
week is reaping time in revival meet-
ings. If this first night of the last
week is any indication of results ce-
tainly we are to have a great ingath-
ering of souls.
The evangelist took for a text last
night, Acts 7:51: "Ye stiffnecked and
uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye
do always resist the Holy Ghost: as
your fathers did, so do ye."
The evangelist spoke of what the
unpardonable sin is not. It is not curs-
ing or swearing, not drunkenesss, not
adultery or fornication, not murder,
not out breaking immortality. But any
sin persisted in long enough may be-
come the unpardonable sin is what the !
preacher said.
He mentioned some ways one may I

every loyal, patriotic nian to do every-
thing in his power to uphold the gov-

of our common country. Men and
women who do not do what they can
along these lines at this crisis, are not
fit to live in a free, liberty-loving
country. Religion, patriotism, loyalty,
all go hand in hand in this cfusade,
and I trust we will have the earnest,
vigorous and sincere support of the
religious bodies of Norman at our
meeting on Thursday night. Every-
where the churches are being thrown
open for Liberty Loan meetings, and
pastors are preaching Liberty Loan
sermons. I am sure the same will
be done in Norman."

Farm Lands
and Loans
At no time in the history of the coun-
try has there been such a demand for
farm lands as now.
Hig-h prices for all products and the
freedom resulting from farm life are
largely responsible for these condi-
tions.
This is the year for renters to obtain
homes of their own.
We have a number of excellent bargains in farms at
all prices and in all parts of Cleveland and McClain
counties, on which we can give excellent terms, and, if
desired, make loans at a low rate of interest. If you are
interested let us show you some of our bargains. We
know we can satisfv you.

Slackers Watch Out
A whole lot of men of Cleveland
I county, and throughout the nation, as
• well, who have money in banks on
I time deposit, and who refuse to invest
in Liberty bonds, are to receive the
surprise of their lives at assessing
: time. Many men with a cash surplus
at the time of the year when the as-
i sessor is due to call upon them, draw
I out their money in form of a cashier's
| certificate and carry it around in their
pocket telling the assessor that they
' have no cash on hand, thus evading
paying taxes thereon. It is understood
| that means will be found—the govern-
i ment has a way of finding out things
I -to ascertain the names of such tax-
dodgers and they will be forced to pay
I the tax, perhaps with a stiff penalty
j attached. Government bonds are non-
taxable, bear four per cent interest,
I are negotiable and may be turne into
gold at any time. Moral: If you have
| money to spare invest it in Liberty
I loan bonds. Do it this instant. Ask
your banker.

through the physical senses. It is not
any force applied to the body. But one
is to know the work of the Spirit by
the results produced upon the mind, i
So the person under this influence
finds his mind drawn to the great con-
cerns of the soul. This we know is I
not natural for Paul says Rom. 8:7.
"The carnal mind is enmity with God." j
Then when one is convicted of sin he
may know that the Spirit is striving !
with him. John 16:8, "And When He 1
(the Holy Spirit) is come He will
convict the world of sin and of un- 1
righteousness and judgment." The !
Spirit often strives with men, making !
them afraid of death without Christ. !
Many wicked are afraid to go to
sleep for fear they will wake up in '
hell. Sometimes the impression comes 1
upon the individual that he is receiv- j
ing the last call nd this proves true. I
Next the evangelist called attention
to a number of ways in which the
Holy Spirit may be resisted. Jesus
said in John 6:63, "The words that I |
have spoken unto you are Spirit and j
they are life." So that in resisting
the word of God one may resist the
Spirit of God because the word and
the Spirit are so closely associated in
conversion of a soul. Then one may
resist a truth until it ceases to have
any power over him. One may persist
in error he believes it to be the truth.
Many resist the Spirit by indulging I
in a spirit of levity when they should j
be most serious minded.
What are the consequences?
First, a hardness of heart sets in.

Gospel of Christ and salvation. Heb,
10:26-27, "For if we sin willfully after
we have received the knowledge of the
truth, there remaineth no more sacri-
fice for sin, but a certain fearful ex-
pectation of judgment and fiery in-
dignation, which shall devour the ad-
versaries." Then one who has success-
fully resisted the Holy Spirit may ex-
pect to be cut off suddenly. Prov. 29:1,
"He that being often reproved and
hardeneth his heart and stiffneth his
neck shall be suddenly destroyed and
that without remedy."
Finally when a man has successful-
ly resisted the Holy Spirit it means
certain damnation. Mr. Lowry quoted
what he said he regarded the stern-
est words in the Bible: Prov. 1:24-28,
"Because I have called and you have
refused, I have stretched out my hands
and no man regarded, but ye have set
at naught all my counsel and would
none of my reprof. I will also laugh
