and suffered fruitlessly on th«- cross, j
Are we tempted to declare Christian-
ity a failure because "ChmHar. na-
tions" are weltering in blood?
Let those who are thus tempted in
this dark hour remember the words
of the Master himself as He walked
to IIis crucifixion:
"And there followed Him a great
company of people, and of women,
which also bewailed and lamented
Him.
"Rut Jesus, turning to them, said,
'Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not om| (
for Me, but weep for yourselves and | ^ably
for your children.'
"For if they do these things in a
green tree, what shall they do in the
dry?"
The world has seen an answer to
that question in this ghastly death-
grapple of "Christian nations." The
weeping of women resounds over
half the earth.
Hut there are other words oi the
Christ to be remembered, even in
the midst of these sorrowful sights
and sounds:
"Heaven and earth shall pass
away, but My words shall not pass
away."
Tbcy shall not, even as they have
not. For nearly two thousand years
this earth has been ravaged with fire
and sword. Conqueror has dethroned
conqueror, nation has destroyed na-
tion; citics, states and people have
disappeared—but the words of Jesus,
the Christ, have not passed away!
Do you want to start this N'ew
Year, 1920, right?
Were you one hundred per cent
perfect during 1919?
All of us have, undoubtedly, made
many mistakes the year iust past;
and the year now before us will pro-
show us many additional
errors.
But many of the mistakes we made
in 1919 can be remedied this year.
We were probably no more than
fifty per cent perfict last year.
The fact must be kept in mind,
however, that if you afe to start
right this year in both business and
pleasures, so that everything may
run smoothly—your car included,
you must equip it properly.
So yhy not make your car one
hundred per cent perfect during 1920
by equipping it with a Willard
Thread Rubber Battery.

No maelstrom of human hatred andj^ag0 where, with other university
carnal ferocity has ever engulfed

mortal hope, ambition, project,

into empty nothingness.
"Weep not for me * * * My vcords

Well may humanity weep for it-
self, but not for Jcsds or His mes-
sage. This war will end with its re-
sultant turmoil. Nations will gather
themselves up amid the wreckage;
humanity 'will stand appalled at the
awful havoc that has been wrought
by greed, hatred, revenge and fear,
mounting to full sway in the minds
of potentates and peoples.
The world will cease to follow the
kings who covet other kingdoms,
who bring ruin that they may extend
their rule and who disavow His
teachings. Their rebuke of Him is
the more sinful bccause while they

His steps and with arch-sacrifice call

carry carnage and murder among His
patient people.

YOUNG DEMOCRATS
TO HAVE 'SWELL' TIME
Oklahoma City, January 1.—Re-
liable reports are Coming from all
over the northern part of the state
and especially from Ponca City, Kay
county, that the Young Democrats
of that city and county are planning
to entertain the delegates to the
Young Democrats annual Conven-
tion there on February 22nd, 1920, as
they have never been entertained be-
fore. Ponca City is one of the most
progressive and wide awake towns
in the state, and its Democratic popu-
lation has been increasing consider-
ably within the last year. More
than thirty young Democrats from
different parts of the State are now
employed at the Marland Company's
office in that city, many of whom
were charter members of the Young j
Men's League of Democratic Clubs
of the State, and all have been pro-1
minent in Democratic politics for
many years.
Frank Lucas, who was at one time |
A sistant State Auditor, is the pri-
vate secretary to E. W. Marland, the
well known producer and refiner of
Ponca City, and among other young
Democrats who have lately identifi-
ed themselvts wtth the upbuilding of
this great oil town, and who are well
known and active young democrats,
are: O. P. Callahan, who was form-
erly with the State School Land
