I’.cv G. W Lee. now pastor of tlie First

cal church;
George W. Lee Goes to Altus
In a letter to friends here it was an-
nounced that Brother G. W. Dee, who
has been the pastor of the First Chris-
tian church here has accepted the pas-
torate of the Christian church of Altus,
Oklahoma.
Brother Lee was pastor of that church
for several voars. hut link so resign on
account of the health of his wife, when
lie left tlie west and moved to Sulphur,
Oklahoma, believing his wiles health
would l»e benefited thereby.
He was given tlie pastorate of tlie
Christian church at Sulphur which lie
held until last August when he resigned
and soon after came to idabel for half
time pastor here. His wife’s health
having sufficiently recovered to enable
her to lie removed hack to the west he
accepted the offer at Altus and is now
actively engaged in his work there.
We admired Brother Lee for Ills broad-
mlndness. He was a yian that made
friends of every one lie came in contact g
witli and was always welcomed by those T-
who knew him. He was one of tlie best
posted men we have had the pleasure of
knowing, having been around the world _f=
several times ami visited every principal |g
sea port in tlie world was In a position sfc
to give some very interesting stories of
his travels, which lias prepared him more
fslly for the work lie later took up. tjiat
of ‘ preaching. He lias been the pastor
of some of the leading churches of tlie
south. We arc sorry that Idabel w ill lose
this good mail as a pastor hut know
that tlie work he has accepted will be
much better and we hope for him and
his family ail tlie blessing tliat can be-
fall- them in their new home.

prise of their life last Monday night
when they witnessed Lhte Davidson girls
basketball team trim tlie local high-
school girls basketball team by the score
of 23 to 16. Altus’ first defeat of tlie
season.
It could hardly lie said that tlie Altus
team put up the fight thta has been dis-
played ill other games appearing to tlie
fan as if they were overconfident of the
outcome, but after the game started the
Davidson lassies swept the Altus girls
off their feet Many times tlie visitors
had a clear field and clearly displayed
good coaching. One of the best basket-
ball plavers that lias worked on the court
this season was the little guard for Da-
vidson. At no time could! it he found
where sin* was not in the game.
Lois Iiopper, who has played a won-
derful game during the past, did not
show to an advantage last Monday night.
She appeared after the game started
as though she had given oft. breath-
ing very heavily. Many foul pla>s.
however, upon the part of the Davidson
i team, and not chalked against them,
was very easily sceen.
