It is possible to drive people away

We think that if those who aie
waging this bitter fight upon the
few Sunday privileges that hereto •
fore have been accorded the Deople
and are now being sought by the
masses, would go Lo our neighbor-
ing towns in Oklahoma of which
'f/e are soon to become one, and
see the saloons with their appaling
evils: tbte gambling houses, running
wide open, that after spending one
Sunday in one of these towns they
would be contended to return and
pnjoy the blessings that are ours,
and make a desperate effort to
pnantain the high moral standard
(hat we have now attained. If we

thought we can easily see the bit-

Not more than 20 per cent of
the population of the town attend
churches, and this is as good a
showing as you will find anywhere
in the states and not more than 80
per cent of this number are church
members.
Now something must be dene to
get people to attend church, it
is true but is this the proper thing
to do? We have heard a number
of people say since the fight has
been made that they would cease
to attend church. 1 think it would
be more commendable for the
churches to makean effortto reach
the masses of people who do not
attend church and secure their at-
tendance rather than to try to take
away as they think, some of their
money for the benefit of society

wealth to which our prosperity can
