Oklahoma, The Past And rutire.
Guthiie, Oklahoma. -Thanksgiving services for statehood
was held at Trinity Episcopal chu>ch in this city
Sunday evening, the Rector Rev- Dr. A. B. Nicholas, deliver-
ing a sermon on "Inspiration of the past; inspiration of th«
future.' In his sermon Rev. Nicholas said in part:
"The towns and cities of the twin territories have been re-
joicing. The merry cries of children has mingeled with the
shouts and hurrahs of men. Bonfires have illuminated the
horizon, bells have been rurgr, and the roar of guns has been
heard. It seems like the Fourth of July; but it is not the
birthday of the nation, but the natal day of Oklahoma.
By the will of God, expre>.? ed through the hearty desire of
a large majority of the people, Oklahoma and Indian Territory
have united their fortunes and ti n has bejn sanctioned by
both houses of congress and bv the president, who signed the
bill with a pen made from a feather from an eagle that soared
in the blue dome that arches over the "land of the fair God."
"Oklahoma was but a baby of six years when I came to
Guthrie and shacks abounded, and in some towns and country
places people, like the martyrs of old, were living in caves and
! dens of the earth.
I "But the early Cl'-lahoma pioneer was characterized by a
magniticient determination to succeed and a great desire for
education. The growth of schools and colleges is marvelous j
and the attendance is surprising.
' In speaking of the inspiration of the future, the minister'
pointed to the Westward march of civi,:zation, beginning with
the settlers who first crossed the ocean after tin voyage of
Columbus, and d welling on tin; hardy pioneer who fought Lis '
way toward the setting sun from the thirteen original colonies-
"And this countrv," he declared "is one of such great possi-1
bilities that there seems but few limits to its greatness and I
blessedness to the world.
'And this is the inspiration of the future. If our people do
not become drunic with power or corrupt through wealth |
this nation seems destined to ext rt a tremendous influence!
for God and i ighteousness over the world. And our new
state of Oklahoma is to share in all this progress.
"May the inspiration of the past and the future help us to j
glorify God and euj >y Him forever-"—State Capital.

Danger.
It is, indeed, a serious and alarming situation which con-
fronts the masse our ot country, for nearly every profitable
and necessary branch of business is dominated by a trust or I
corporation. But the greatest of all trusts is the railway
trust. If the peoj e lo not awake to a full realization of the
dangers ol corpor..:.e control of these valuable instruments
ot commerce, so essential to the progress and development
t j of our great and unparalleled civilization, thev may yet wit
||ness a subversion oi their liberties. The great and danger-
| j ous tendency of the age is towards concentration and con
!j solidation, which means that the great mass of individual
I must loose their rights and privileges; in other words the
are swallowed up bv corporate power. The public shoul
sacri'dlv reserve for its own function ami duty the operatio
and ownership ofall natural ai jnopolies.—J.iaus B Lloyd i,.
