things in readiness for the meeting

proved himself to be a masterhand
as a musical director At the close
Mrs Minges sang “For You I Am
Praying” for which she played her
own accompaniment on her beautiful
large Italian harp ’
Evangelist Minges spoke on the
subject of “Prayer” and those who
heard-Tiim are convinced that he is
a man of prayer H$ said in part:
“I wonder how many of you people
really pray- 'I can always tell what
aman is by the’ prayer he makes
If God answered all your prayers
he would have to turn this world
upside down and inside out in two
minutes If you ordered groceries
like you pray you would have a
pretty hard time' getting them de-
livered If some of Vou people had
a child that did not talk to you any
more than you talk to your Heaven-
ly Father you would take it to a
physician right away and have it
examined
“Do you really believe that God
answers prayer” he demanded “Do
we pray in faith believing? I be-
lieve that if the people in this
building to-night that call them-
selves Chrstians would ' pray with
the faith of those who prayed in the
upper room at Pentecost you would
have a religious earthquake in Mar-
low How many of you pray because

Problem Staggering
v £he task of transmitting the long
ligts of ‘ numbers "by telegraph is a
problem of considerable proportions
but the press associations and tele-
graph companies are making efforts
to insure both speed and absolute
accuracy in transmission There is
more concern over the task of the
individual newspapers after they re-
ceive by wire the results of the draw-
ings in large communities The
problem of printing the serial
numbers with the names of the men
they represent in each district at-
tached is one of staggering - pro-
portions Mean Enormou Work
In New York City where there
are 189 of the 4557 local exemp-
tions districts the names and num-
bers would fill several hundred news-
paper pages Even to give sufficient
names and numbers to cover those
likely to be called to the colors im-
mediately means enormous work
While the provost marshal gen-
eral’s office was busy clearing up
the last details for the drawing the
problem of alien registrants other
than enemy aliens came before the
senate in a resolution introduced by
Senator Chamberlain chairman of
the -miliary committee It provides
for the drafting fpr military service
of citizens of countries at war with
Germany who are now residing in
the United States upon the same
terms as American citizens are liable
under the national army bill
Provide for Treaties
The resolution seeks to meet the
views of the" state department how-
ever by excepting from its action
citizens of countries which have
treaties with the United States pro-
hibiting the enforced military em-
ployment of the nationals of each
party in " the territory of the other
There has been no indication whether
it will have administration approval

OKLAHOMA NEEDS MORE FARM
JIELP
There has been a continual drain
on the farm help in Oklahoma for
the past two or three months Har-
vest hands leave for Kansas and
then go into Nebraska in order to
get better wages Many of these
do not return until planting time
However next year there will be a
permanent shortage of farm help due
to the drafting of men for military
service This is a serious problem
and should not be neglected by legislation
