Oklahoma City. — Tb* Oklahoma
State Fair 1* now in full awing at Okla-
homa City. On Tuesday, September
28, the g*tes swung back for twelve
•hort da} t revealing one of the biggest
and beet shows ever before prepared in
the southwest for ail the people. The
big exposition is not only literally
160 acres of education and amusement,
but It is an epic in agricultural, live-
stock and industrial displays—a sym-
phony of state-wide prosperity despite
the fact tnat farmers, merchants and
manufacturers have had some rough
roads to travel during the last twelve
months. Good executive management
of the big show is reflected every-
where and the chances are that the
1911 Fair will go down In history as
a record-breaker.
While the first week of the big show
has been crowded with events and
while the attendance has been extraor.
dlnary from the first day, which was
emphasized by the presence of Gov-
ernor Lee Cruce ar 1 distinguished rep-
resentatives in congress, the second
week promises to be even better, if
such a thing is possible. It la a
farmers' institution just as much as j
an agricultural college; It is a mer-
chants' fair because It Is a reposi-
tory where finished products are
placed; it is an exposition that be-
longs to the professions because it
Is an arena where Greek meets Greek;
It is everybody's show, because It pro-
vides a oral education and relaxa-
tion from dull cares and troubles, from
which it is -profitable for all to oc-
casionally escape.
Every day has been a distinct fea-
ture this week and next week is
crowded with big events. Secretary
1. S. Mahan Is a great believer In
music and it will be found alv.ays
and everywhere.
Splendid harness and running races
have been provided for the second
week of the great racing program,
which calls for $20,000 in purses. Be-
ginning every afternoon at 1 o'clock
and continuing until 5, there will be
no less than two harness events for
purses ranging from $500 to $1,000, and
four running races, including the Ok-
lahoma Derby on Thursday, October
6, for $500. Soma of the classiest
horses in the country are here and
the races provide enjoyment for thou-
sands every Jay.
It would require a world of detail
to go into every feature of the big
V State Fair. It reminds one very much
of a big circus, with so many things
to see that one hardly knows where
to begin. Judging has been in progress
all week and will be devoted largely
to live stock all next week. The fol-
lowing is the judging program, begin-
ning Monday: Monday, October 2, 9
a. m., Short Horns and Herefords;
Tuesday, 9 a. m., Herefords, Percher-
ons, French Draft, Belgians; Wednes-
day, 9 a. m., Aberdeen Angus, Clydes-
dale, English Shire, German Coach,
Cleveland Bays; Thursday, 9 a. m,
/ Red Polled, Steer Classes, Hackney
and French Draft, Geldings and Mares,
Jacks, Jennets and Mules, Breeding
Classes Light Horses. The Boys' and
Girls' Agricultural School will open
^ Monday for the entire week and word
comes from Stillwater that practically
•very county will be represented. On
Monday night, the annual Horse Show
will open in the Live Stock Pavilion
and continue for five big night*. En-
tries would Indicate one of the best
horse shows in the history of Okla-
homa.
While practically the entire state 1*
represented in the Agricultural dis-
plays, fully 30 per cent of the coun-
ties in Oklahoma are represented in a
collective way, showing the world the
.* truth about Oklahoma. The big exposi-
tion is chuck full of fine displays snS
the cement show is declared to be the
biggest ever before sttempted at any
fair.
The amusement features of the big
•how have not been overlooked. In
addition to tin vaudeville acts given
every afternoon between the races and
which will be seen every night at the
horse show next week, there are some-
thing like thirty other big attractions
under the banner of the Herbert A.
Kline shows. Something like $60,000
Is represented In big permanent
amusements at the fair grounds and
the polo and push ball games are prov-
one oi k 1ng popular with all the people. In

Dame Fasniou is making up Tor trie
simplicity of her designs by the splen-

show velvets of every sort in tne

satiny finish which run to superb
plush borderlngs In lace designs. The
groundwork of these, that Is, the silk
part, is always In some somber color,
seal brown, dark ruby, raven blue,
black, etc., but the banding Introduces
the most gorgeous colors. A shade of
old gold, cerise and electric blue are
some of the colors that stripe the
borders of these superb textures, it
Is said in high places that only two
yards and a half will be needed for a
gown in such fabrics, and the small
quantity is a blessing, fcr the materi-

NE of the great fundamen-
tal truths oi Christianity
is the deity of Christ. This
truth is one of the founds
tion doctrines of the whole
Bible; and yet this truth,
most plainly expressed In the Bible. Is
disbelieved by thou-amla of professing
Christians. I have often wondered as
to what there is sbout Christ's deity
which should lead any professing |
Christian to deny ft Certainly, noth
Ing can be gained by the denial, but.
on the contrary, a great deal Is lost I
by It. The fact Is, there never would j
have been a New Testament, such as
we no a- have, had not Christ been
verily In flesh. Indeed, I he Old
Testament would be largely valueless
and meaningless If Christ were not
pre-eminently divine, even God. H!s
deity was foreshadowed In various
ways by the Old Testament prophe- i
cles, types, and ordinances. And the
New Testament very distinctly pro-
claims Christ's deity. In the Gospel
of John. 1:3, 4. this truth Is made
remarkably clear and pronounced.
Rev. Dr. C. I Scofleld, In referring to
t.mt passage, says: "We have the
announcement concerning the deity of
the Lord Jesus Christ that 'In the be-
ginning was the word, and the word
was with God. and the word was God.'
Now there Is no explaining away of
that statement, and I believe that the
hostility manifested by the forces de-
structive to Christianity, within and
without the church, to the Gospel of
John. Is due primarily to the fact
that there Is no avoiding or evad
Ing It
Questions of Deity Settled.
If the Gospel of John stands as a
divine book, the question of the deity j
of the Lord Jesus Christ Is settled In
the very first verse of It. I do not be-
lieve that the proof of the deity of the
Ixjrd Jesus Christ rests only upon
that statement. I only say that open-
ing verse, there Is gathered up the
affirmative, which has many illustra-
tions and many lines of proof In
scripture, that he is Indeed very God.
' The same was In the beginning with
God." Of no other person on earth
was it ever said In the Bible, or by
divine authority, that he existed with
God before the foundation of this
world. No prophet, priest, or apostle
ever had the presumption to say, or
even the desire to say, that be was
with God before his own birth. Fur-
thermore. If Christ were not God In
human form, then he was the greatest
Inpostor that this world e"er knew of
He could not have been even a mortal

satin and velvet will be used, as well
as laces matching the color of the
fiwn. To accomplish the exact re-
production of tint—for it Is next to im-
possible to get a matching lace other
wise—dressmakers will give a sample
of the gown goods with the lace to a
dyer, and In this way, and this way
only, will the matching lace be fiad.
Gold laces, not of the tinsel sort, but
in this coloring, aro to be to the fora
for jabots and undersleeves, and
where there is any good lace on hand
the color may be achieved wltb horns
dyeing.
In point ot general cut these things
are evident: The tailored suit Is to
have the strictest up and down lines,
these accomplished with narrow pan-
els on the tight skirt, with snug
sleeves and revers which give a
drooping fall to the shoulders. The
costume, that is the bodice gown, will
show the high waist line, a foot trim-
ming for the skirt and a waist portion
of such snugness that it will seem al-
most tight.

upon all who enter it and yet one is
often at a loss as to what should be
done to dissipate the lugubrious ef-

It should be dealt wltb ruthlessly.
White paint and enamel should be
used with a generous hand. Dark
woodwork should not be tolerated and
dull or gloomy paper should be avoid-
ed. Hang the room in a paper of
eunny yellow hue, put up only curtains
of thin net and decorate your walls
with pictures framed in white and
gold and sliver gray frames.

past, the environment around, the God
above, the Christ within—these are
the principal factors in the building up
of every really great and worthy life.
"What hast thou," writes Paul aagln,
"which thou didst not receive?" Every
man owes such a debt to the race
from which he springs, the world lu
which be lives and the God who hath
followed biin with blessings from the
hour of his birth, that It can only be
discharged by the complete conse
cratlon of all he has and Is to that will
of God which, when it Is completely
accomplished, will be manifested as
the reign of righteousness and peace
throughout all human life. No words
can discharge our debt. No mere con-
tributions to missionary and phllan
throplc objects. In view of what we
have received, for which we are debt-
ors, the yielding even of our bodies as j
"living sacrifice*" is only "our reason-
able service."
Tbe man who believes that the j
world owes him a living, sadly needs
to change bis mind. Most adherent^
of this philosophy find that sooner or |
later it leads to shipwreck and disas-
ter. Only the man who has come to
see that he owes the world a life, and
Is living to pay the debt, has secured

L. White Busbey, secretary to for-

that the speaker did not smoke so

of the party, "is that he gets away
with about 20 cigars a day."
