Baptist Church News Notes
By R L English
The pastor of ' the Baptist church
attended the General Baptist Con-
vention at Chick asha last week
This is said to be the largest Baptist
Convention ever held in Oklahoma
There were 910 messengers aud visit-
or present The reports and the an-
dresses were above par During the
three days meeting there was not a
division of votes on any question
that came up The spirit and fellow-
ship was wonderful
Oklahoma Baptist paid this year
8177225 to the seventy-live million
fund and plans to do much more for
the 1925 program
Our local church sent to the con-
vention 1335 to this fund by the pasr
tor
On Noveober 10 the pastor spoke
on the Holy Spirit at the morning
service and at the evening on the
last verse of the fi chapter of Romans
—The wages of sin is death but the
gift of God is eternal life
The men of the church are manl
Testing a desire to pay off the build-
ing dept of a little over 12 C00 The
general pubiio may soon expect an
Invitation to the dedication service
Of the church build ng for the pastor
Is sure soon the church debt will
be paid Dr Ssults and Walter Mo-
reau are to see the membership
about an off erirg for the cause an dlt
is hoped everyone will respond with
some kind of an offering '

Under this plan we hope to' make

Our American Schools
The American public schools
are built on sound democratic
principles The public school
since its beginning has been
the subject of sweeping un-
substantiated attacks But it
has thrived none the less
The American school is a
school for all the people In most
countires there are two school
systems One educates those
wjtp are to rule the other thoes
who are to be ruled In America
we have a differant plan" 'We
accept the ideal even - if it is
not realized every where in prac
tice that “What the best and
wisest parent wantsfor his own
child that mnst the- community
want for all its chllhren Any
other ideal for our schools is
narrow and unlovely acted upon
it destroys our democracy
The American school is free
and open to All Nearly 23000-
000 children were enrolled in
free public schools in 1922 At
least oue person in every five in
the United States is at present
attending a free public schools

’TtTllAT is fatigue? WhatliBppwn
when we get tired? Everybody
knows the sensqtlon but Just how 1 II
caused? What aoea It mean when v
say that w are "all In" and Juat vrttal
has happened to us?
- In the first place we have probably
not had enough fresh air or putting II
the other way around we probably
have bad too much air that wasn’t
fresh too much stale vitiated air
We have probably stayed too long
In rooms that were overcrowded pi
overheated
Then our eyea have probably been
exposed to glare from unshaded lights
thnt fatigue the muscles of the eye and
' make us feel tired
Or perhaps w have been alttlnff-tos
long on uncomfortable chairs oi
benches
It doesn’t matter whether w have
been In an office a factory or a thea
ter sitting too long at a time oa neats
that are Improperly adjusted to out
bodies la tiring whether jre are work
Ing or playing
Maybe onr clothing Is uncomfortable
In spite of the freedom of present-day
dree such aa the flapper costume fot
Instance- many people still wear un-
comfortable clothing especially uncotn
fortabl shoes which restrict the inu
cles and cause Irritation and fatigue
Perhaps w have been sitting too long
walking too long or playing too long
and hare so tired out one group of
muscles without resting them by using
another group "
Or we may have been surrounded by
persons who were Irritating er annoy-
ing or by those who have bored us so
that we have been under constant man
tat Irritation
Any one of thee tfclngi will tire tu
ont a combination of two or three of
(hear will of course increase the fa-
tigue '
When on le tired Ms resistance to
disease is lowered so that hie suaetpb
fblllty to Infection la Increased
The sensible Individual when he Is
unusually tired Instead of going to the
theater th ballroom or the crowded
public places for recreation will lie
down in a quiet cool well ventilated
room and rest until bis mental and
physical balance Is restored
