Before Dr. Bulgin came to this city
there were rumors and stories that
be was to receive certain sums -">f
money to insure his appearance. That
has since (been disproved. The Rev.
Ralph J. Lamb told the writer a week
before the evangelist came that the
only terms asked were that this city
pay the fare one way for the speakei
and his singer, entertain both while
here, and at the close of the meeting
a free will offering was to be taken
up for the evangelist. Those were
the terms accepted by the loeil
preachers. For this we have the word
of the united ministry of the city
and no one doubts them. Since get-
ting acquainted with Dr. Bulgin and
his friend. Prof. Rose, a change lias
come over a <rreat many people of
this city and this arrangement h; s
not appeared satisfactory. An inves-
tigation was made of the methods pur-
sued by Rev. Billy Sunday and oth-
ers. and inquiry has developed that
wh/e they receive large sums and
are laying up a reserve for the in-
evitable rainy day of evangelists, Bul-
gin has nothing on earth but his home
in California. Some of the public
spirited and fair minded of the locall
people who have enjoyed the meet-
ings got together some days ago and
plans were laid to start something
.hat would a little better show the
uppreciation of the people for the
man who nss v orked so hard for
the three wo'lis. A final meeting was
held yesterday afternoon and sub-
scription books will be passed through
the city. In this way it is believed
some substantia)! form may be given
to the opinion that has been fornu-d
here of Dr. Bulgin.
The doctor has been an evangelist
for sixteen years and anyone who
has watched him while here will
readily admit that he can stand the
high pressure under which he liv?s
but a few years longer. There is
nothing in the doctor's mode >f
speaking that favors his mind or his
body. He is taking it out of him-
self.
But the point we want to make ;-
that Bartlesvil c should not let him
go away without a handsome return
for the good he has done. And he
has done the city much good. Where
many of us expected to see and he ir
a rant aig, sensational, abusive style
of speaking an agreeable disappoint-
ment, has come. We have found in
earnest, hard-working, painstaking
preacher. One who put before the
people the best image of the mast r
he serves that he is capable of paint-
ing. Whether we lurree with him
or not that fact must be admitted,
and church member or no chur-h
member. Christian or no Christian,
we must' all admit that he has work-
ed for the betterment of local condi-
tions. He has made some of us het-
tercitizens, and we short d he willis
to pay the manjrlio. has done this
a decent remuneration. One tiling i.i
which^Bartlesville has never fa led is
in that reputation for being liberil
in money matters. The city lus
made one record with Bulgin already.
It has cleaned up the expenses of
the rifeetinirs earlier and more cheer-
fully than any otKer city in the state.
Now let us set another pace and send
Bulgin and J?ose away with a little
more than railroad fare.

REOPENED
Streit Cigar Company Has Ogilvie's
- Old Stand.
Last evening the Streit Cigar com-
pany reopened the Ogilvie cigar store
and pool and billiard parlors, also
the bowling al'iey. Quite a number of
people took advantage of the open-
ing to again patronize that popular
resort and the management felt very
highly pleased. These gentlemen came
here from Elk City. Kansas, with
very fine recommendations as to the.r
ability as business men, and people
who wfil run a nice, clean place.

The Abolition of Hair Rate Ailso Be-
fore the New Jersey Legislature
Trenton, N. J., Jan. 26.—Among
the bills introduced into the New Jer-
sey legislature is one providing for
a state tax for bachelors. This is sim-

have been offered, one of which pro-
vides that women be prohibited from
using "rats" in their hair, as this
practice is said to deceive mankind.

Telling it Himself
(Continuad from page one.)
'I have never officiated at a revival,"
said he, "where the spirit of broth-
erhood was so apparent. I have not
seen the slightest sign of any pros-
elyting in all this work and I have
not seen a sign of any hard feeling,
anywhere. It has been a sweet and
blessed time. Why the way this
town has been built up and the way
it is going to be built up the time
wifi soon come when you will need
more churches. l<et the churches pre-
serve this feeling of unity and broth-
erhood and I'll predict that within
the next ten years you will have here
one of the greatest and grandest cities
In the whole blessed state of Okla-
homa. You have all the opportunities
and the advantages and all that is
need is concerted work.
"I have also received a number
of letters, unsigned, containing at-
tacks upon the private lives of ram
and women of the city. Inasmuch as
you were too much of a coward *<>
.s.gn your names to these letters. 1
am too much of a gen.le.man t>
pay any attention to them. From now
on every letter I get not signed b\
the name of the writer goes into tin
waste basket unread and unanswered.
"My subject tonight is tak :i
from Hebrew 1:1 and 11:6. Job 33:4.
This is the most profound questi i.i
that can command) your attention.
God Is. Just that plain statement
of the naked fact. Second, I Aui.
A King with that comes the questions,
Where did I come from and where
am I going to? Job answers that
and says the spirit of the Lord made
me. It breathed into me the brea'h
of life. I received a letter today
asking me to give five minutes tc
stating what 1 believe and why. Why,
bless you, I could not answer that
in five minutes. I believe in five
things, though.
"I believe in theology, the dis-
cussion about God. If he is God
I must know something about him.
Tf he made me he must have put into
me something of him.
"1 believe in bibliology, the sci-
ence of the Bible or the book. The
Bible is not a book, it is a librarv.
An infidel skips over the pages of the
Bible and goes out strutting around
saying it is not true. If I went into
Judge Vandeventer's office, where lie
has his law library, and putting my
hands in my vest holes walked around
and then said I understood the la-v
you'd think 1 was a fool. That's the
way some people do with the Bible.
"1 believe in anthropology, the se
ence of man. I believe in man—and
some women.
"I believe in the Savior because
man needed a Savior. I believe in
the doc!rilie of the Savior or sel-
enology."
"T believe, lastly, in eschatologv.
the science of the hereafter.
"The Bible says God is. Yo:i
can't find a place in the Bible when
it says anything about proving thai
fact. The book doesn't tell us ho,\
he is or how he happened to be. IL
is. But the Bible does tell us how
t" he like him. That typesetting
machine T saw in the Examiner to-
day is a vivid illustration of the
mind of man. and the mind is bigg,,
than the machine. TI* ma„ w,>
created with the mind in him. Goi
• The heavens, ihe stars, the bodv.
the human eye. the mind, all cry out
there is a God. I am—I did not al-
ways exist. Time was when I be-
-an to be conscious of consciousness
Let that dawn on you—let it soak
through. How can you find God?
Get down on your marrowbones and
tell him you want him and have
found him and how bad and little y u
were before you found him. Heod
your conscience. If you are an ag-
nostic study the things around you.
Study nature and you will find that
Orxl is and he can speak to your im-
mortal soul.
Take the second step. I believe
the Bible because it is just like God
to wrife a Bible. Ite would n<>t
leave me to find out throuzh nature
that there was a God. Ninety pel
cent of the people never get a sei-
entific education. Ood wouldn't eon-
demn people like that. I was rid-
insf in a Pullman car once wi'h a
philosopher who was going to deliver
a lecture at a distant city. He w;is
railing at and abusing the Christi ,n
religion whenever he could pet any-
one to listen to him. On the way wi
passed a eamp meeting and he said
the people were fools Coming to
where I was sitting he spoke to me
and asked me if T knew what hi-
religion wss. He said he believed n
the survival of the fittest. I said.
'My religion was of the Bible. It
tits everybody to survive.' That's
the kind of a God I worship. I
believe the Bible because it was ju t
lice God to write it. T believe the
Bible and L-ld U> that look hocau,.
of its influence on hnman society. Ti
is the looking glass to the human soul.
A Chinese philosophy spent some
months in wtudyin? our Bibln and
when he wa* done he *aid he be
lieved the man who made that bo >l<
made him. In China they worship a
<rod <.f eunning, in Japan they wor
shipped the graveyard. Mahomet wv
« god of immorality, Zoraster wis
a liar, Buddha was a drunkard.
Christ, our god. was moral and -i
clean man. If you prove that Christ
did any one of these things th-,t
the other rod* did. then Chr.stiani v
falls to the ground. Christ is life
and Christianity is the only religion
that demands a clean life In the
Bible alone do I find a perfect di i-
noam of m.v sickness and a perfect
cure for my sickness. Jesus savs
you are winners and diseased, and
every man who comes to the cro;s
always gets the cure he is after Tie
Bible is like the God I want to be-
lieve in. Bless God, the old bojk
is here and it's always here. Listen
did infidelity ever teach you not r.o
get drunk, ngt to beat your wife,
not to steal? No. Well, the Bible
docs.
"I believe in man. What a won-
derful mechanism is mau. The' sci-
ence of chiropractic was discovered
by an accident. A physician was ex-
amiuing the back of a man who was
deaf. He was not looking for that,
but some oilier ailment. He found a
little white spot that was different
from the rest of the flesh. While
rubbing the spot with his fingers the
misplaced nerve of the backbone
snapped into place and the ears were
opened to hearing. And the
in you. It gives you the power iO
take the stand for the right. Think
of the infinity of the God who made
you—think of the vast and illimita-
ble difference between that infinite
God and that little atom, man, and
yet, in spite of that immeasurable
difference, there is in you a part
of him. The greatest proof of im-
mortality is that God made the soul.
Oil leases won't satisfy that soul,
bank stock won't satisfy that soul,
and broad acres of Oklahoma land
won't satisfy that soul. The soul
was made for God and it will never
1>e satisfiJed until it gets back to
God. There are good fheli and bad,
good women and bad women, and
the two kinds can't live and be happy
in the same house. In Shawnee I
knew a man from Pittsburg who had
married a beautiful Cherokee wom-
an, a pure and good wife. He had
two brothers who came from Pitts-
burg to visit him. When they found
he had married an Indian they took
the next train home. And each cl
those men had married a divorced
woman, who had been divorced be-
cause they were impure. I'd rather
marry old Aunt Sally Peekerwool
in North Carolina, the mother of ail
the Indians, than a woman like that.
The pure cannot live with the im-
pure. What kind of a God are you
making for me when you say there
is no hell because he is a God if
love? God made hell for the devils,
but if you want to go there he won't
atop you. If you don't want to "o
to hell yon don't have to. Man has
something in him. though, that makes
it imperative that he must go some-
where. T was standing at the side
of Niagara Fails with a man who
had been educated for the Catholic
priesthood, but who had become an
infidel and was a saloonkeeper. We
had gone hunting together becau.e
his wife wanted me to take him with
mc. Beside us was a fine hunting
do<;. The dog looked at the falls
and then wen: hunting a Squirrel or
a rabbit. We gazed at that mighty
torrent for three hours. I asked thai
man what made him gaze at that
great sight of nature for three hours
when his dog only looked at it a
minute. Each had two eyes. I -said
it made ine feel worshipful to look
at the falls and it tlid him too. 1
asked him what it was he had and
the dog didn't. What did he call
it ? He said he didn't know. What
did I call it. 1 **aid it was some-
thing the dog didn't have. What wis
it. It was the soul. If we had :o
die like a dog what was that some-
thing in us for? Why not make
us like the dog? That's all I said.
Two weeks after I got a telegram
saying, Thank God. I'm not a dog.'
Yes. there is a soul and there must
be a (oountry t >r that mjuL \\ f
can't live here all the time. When
we believe in the soul then every-
thing is in harmony.
"Take the next step in this discus-
sion, the Savior. If God wants me
to Jive with him he's got to pro-
vide the means. If he wants me to
go to heaven he will have to show
rre how. There U a great big gulf
belween where I am and where he
is. and he will have to let down a
hrrj'.c sn T can reach him. That
hr tlge ean't come from the man's side
to that of God. It must come from
Gcd's side to man's. Now, God is
both man and God, so he spanned
that big gulf at Calvary. He came
down to our level to save ti«. Aivl
all he asks ■[ um is that we come to
Mm and confess our sins. I «aw
five boys goiiy to visit their dyi:r:
n.other one day and one of them was
d'unk. He bed to be supported by
two of his bio'htrs. When they came
into the room a sister would not Id
the one who w.is drunk go ne ti-
the dying woti.an's bed. But ih«
mother had heard her moii's voice and
ahe asked that he come to see her.
1 lie daughter then laid her handker-
chief over her dying mother's fa e
and despite the plea of the mother
► he held it there till death came.
She would not let the mother look
t'.pon her ion in that condition.
