They will but smile, and bid the

Editor Register:
In 1902 I located in Guthrie and be-
gan the practice of law. 1 was a
stranger to all the people but they
received me with open arms and gave
me of their friendship and business.
Guthrie people are uniformly kind
and considerate to the stranger and
they made no exception in my case.
Much of the first year's of my life
here 1 would gladly recall were it pos-
sible. 1 did many things that were
better left undone and said many
things unkind and unnecessary about
those who opposed me, but those
things are all past now and are to me
but a dream.
Three years ago I had an exper-
ience, such as I hope may come to
every Guthrie citizen, and was, as 1
believe, by the grace of God led to ac-
cept Jesus as my Ijord and Master.
Since that time I feei that a great
transforming power has been at work
in my life helping me to overcome the
past and the habits of the past. May-
be you have not been able to notice
any difference in me, but 1 have felt
its power and have tried to yield my-
self to its elevating influences.
Whatever may have been the mis-
takes of my past life, and there were
many, 1 have paid the price and am
still paying the price, but God being
my judge I would undo as much as
possible of the past and make amends
for the future by a life devoted to the
service of my God, my neighbor and my
fellow man. I am about to retire
from the profession of my life, the law,
to engage in, to me, a new and untried
work.
I cannot say why I do this except to
say that I feel that I am led by the
Lord to do it. 1 have no selfish mo-
tives to serve and no animosities to
feed.
For whatever I may have done that
was not for the best interest of the
community I am sorry and for any
wrong 1 may have committed to any in-
dividual and for any unkind thing I
may have said 1 ask the pardon of the
one injured.
I have no enmity toward any indivi-
dual in Guthrie and hope if any feel
unkindly toward me that they will
forgive and forget.
I shall make Guthrie my home and
want to feel that I have the confidence
and respect of every citizen, whether
he be rich or poor, great or small,
strong or weak.
If you feel any distrust of me or
personal animosity toward me wont
you lay that aside and forgetting and
forgiving the past help me to press on
toward a higher and better life.
1 have accepted the call of the Fed-
erated Gospel Teams of Oklahoma to
be one of four evangelists to carry on
the work of the Federation and will
begin my work for them at Stillwater
in February.
Prior to this the Baptist Church of
this city, my home church, had invited
iTi" to hold a meeting with them and
I have accepted to begin Sunday night
January 3rd and continue for a
month. No higher honor could be con-
ferred upon me than to have this
church thus express its public con-
fidence in me, and put its stamp of ap-
proval upon my life for the past three
years, and thus say to the world "We
believe in him."
Guthrie needs a great revival, not
more than others, but we do need a
revival in the church and out of the
church. God's cause needs to be
built up and men and women made
better through the power of Jesus
Christ.
Won't you come and help. If you
can sing join the chorus. If you
can't sing do personal work. I^ay aside
denominational differences and let us
take Guthrie for Christ and his God.
Come not for my sake but for Jesus'
sake. Sincerely yours,
WILL H. CHAPPELL.

thenthe applications of sixty-one dis-
tricts for $92,204.93 have been approv-

most cases warrants have been is-
sued by the State Auditor. The Leg-
islature of 1913, by an enactment ap-
proved iMarch 13, 1913, set aside the
remainder of the public building fund
