BELIEVE IN SHAWNEE!
(Editorial.)
The greatest lack that Shawnee
has at this time is lack of faith on
the part of some of her people.
To be sure, it is only a very small
part, but the smaller the minority,
the louder their noise. The mere
handful of people who have made
all they have right here in Shawnee
and arc yet persistently knocking
the city, are sometimes the ones
whom strangers first meet, and the
result is inevitable The stranger
gots, a bad impression of the city,
and is either slow about locating
fcere, or goes elsewhere.
Believe in Shawnee! Have faith
in the future of the best city in Ok
lahoma!
This should not be hard for those
who have been here for a number
of jrears and have seeu the marvel
ous growth and development accom-
plished up to this time, when out
sidere—people of other states—are
not slow to express their confident
in the future and back up such ex-
pressions by staking their fortune
on what the coming years will bring
forth for Shawnee.
If all who are in a position to ap-
preciate the meaning of the various
huge enterprises now under way in
Shawnee had half the faith and con
fidence as have those who are put-
ting their money into these enter-
prises, it would not be so difficult
for the boosters to boost, and the
Chamber of Commerco would have
a -thousand members.
. Let's all get togethor again. Don't
leave all the boosting to the news-
. papers. They are already bearing
more than their share of the bur-
en. Get in the harness, join the
•amber of Commerce ajid boconu

Believe in Shawnee!

HIGH DEATH HATE.
Editorial.
Statistics showing how serious
problem tuberculosis is to the ordi-
nary church congregation have been
published by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis in a bulletin on Tubercu
losis Day.
From reports received from ovei
725 churches, with a membership of
over 312,000 communicants of 20 de
nominations, and from 208 cities and
towns in 12 states in various parts
of the country, out of nearly 7,000
deaths in 1910, over 700 or 10.4 per
cent were caused by tuberculosis
This means 2.24 deaths for every
thousand members or communicants.
While the percentage of deaths
from tuberculosis as compared with
other diseases is not higher in the
churches, according to these figures,
than in the country at large, the
tuberculosis death rate, as shown by
the church returns, is higher per
thousand communicants than that
for the general population In the( !«
registration area of the United
States, which the census bureau} •!•
Can be had by imbltioua young men
and ladles in toe field of "wlrslesi"
or railway t^legarphy.
Since the eight-hour law became
effective ana jlnce the wireless com-
panies are establishing stations aH
throughout the country, there is a
great shortage of telegraphers. Po-
sitions pay begluners from |70 to $90
month, with good chances of ad-
vancement. The National Telegraph
Institute operates six official insti-
tutes In America, under supervision
of railroad and wireless officials and
places all graduates into positions.
It will pay you to writs them for
full details, at Cincinnati, Ohio, Phil-
adelphia, Pa., Memphis, Tenn., Daven-
>ort, lows. Columbia, 8. C., or Port-
and, Ore., according to where you
wish to enter.
SIMMY IT THE ODEON.
. Three good pictures will be shown
at the Odeou today. Last Sunday
the management did not advertise
Winsor MoCay In the advance no-
tice, therefore many, many people
were agreebly surprised and de-
lighted with the clever "cartoon"
picture. This Sunday an equally
good program will merit your at
tendance. There will be plenty of
good wholesome comedy nud an in
tense Vltagraph drama. One other
"quality" picture—three in all—will
assist you in spending a delightfully
lucrative, sane and pleasant Sabbath.
Electric fans to keep you cool; In
fact, this hot summer will find the
Odeon cool as winter—really, truly
the coolest and most comfortable In
t*he city. Don't fume and fret. Keep
kool! Keep kool!
THE GREATEST DISCOVERY
THE AGE, AS A METHOD
OF HEALING.
OF
The Arnolds' method of healing Is
the science of curing diseases with-
out the use of drugs or medicines, by
a correct understanding and a right
application of the Law of Being.
Mental Science, Magnetic Healing
and Maceono Therapy all mean
Divine Healing. We cordially invite
all who are afflicted to call and be
healed. No. 318 E. Main St., Saddle

The heavens declare the glory of
God; and the firmament sheweth his
handywork.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and
night unto night sheweth knowledge.
There is no speech nor language,
where their voice is not heard.
Their line is gone out through all
the earth, and their words to the
end of the world. In them hath he
set a tabernacle for the sun.
Which is as a bridegroom coming
out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as
a strong man to run a race.
His going forth is from the end of
the heaven, and his circuit unto the
ends of it; and there is nothing hid
from the heat thereof.
The law of the Lord is perfect,
converting the soul: the testimony of
the Lord is sure, making wise the
simple.
The statutes of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart: the command-
ment of the Lord is pure, enlighten-
ing the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean, en-
during forever: the judgments of
the Lord are true and righteous al-
together.
More to be desired are they than
gold, yea, than much fine gold:
sweeter also than honey and the
honeycomb.
Moreover by them is thy servant
warned: and In keeping of them
there is great reward.
Who can understand his errors?
cleanse thou me from secret faults.
Keep back thy Bervant also from
presumptuous sins; let them not
have dominion over me: then shall
1 be upright, and I shall be Innocent
from the great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth, and
the meditation of my heart, be ac-
ceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my
strength, and my redeemer.

"The National Association," the

A sufficient number of returns from

Remarks: The church indebted
ness has been reduced about $1,500
duriug the year, and arrangements
have been made by which the entire
local indebtedness will be cancelled
during the ensuing year. It is con-
i tidently believed and expected that
I this church will become entirely free
from debt Incurred in the construe
tion of its handsome edifice by April
1, 1912.
This, the infant church of Shaw
nee, covets the most cordial relations
with all the other churches of the
city, and pledges its co-operation
with them In a strenuous effort to
win Shawnee completely for Christ.
It throws its door wide open to all
who are not identified with other
churches in the city, and extends to
them a hearty invitation to come
and make this their church home
and place of worship. Its highest
ambition is to make use of its splen-
did equipment in doing its part to-
wards supplying the spiritual needs
of all the people in our beautiful and
growing city.
While the Central Presbyterian
Church is Presbyterian in name and
fact, it desires to be a "People's
Church," in religious privileges, op-
portunities and blessings. The pas-
tor is always ready to give his ser-
vices as a minister of the gospel to
everyone in the city who needs such
services and will let it be known.
