It '
with
J Frank Norris .one of the
widely advertised preachers of
Dttth. «ho la the pastor of the
Baptist chjr«h of Fort Worth
, will bold a meeting In Man-
lomtnenrlng on September Cth.
trill be remembered by man'
im people Ilia trial an I tn s<-
Khtch this noted preacher ha«
ttered, and from tho great sue-
e baa a'talned since bis trouble
he lowle«a element started put
doubt to flight In the minds of all
that he was certainly not gulfty of lb.'
chargej which were framed against
him. Mangum people will co-oper-
ate In this meetlnv; tbat Is. n't chur-
ches will assist In the work. Belo#
we give an article which appeared in
the Baptlxt Standard:
"Dr. J. Frank Norris, pastor of th'*
Flrat Baptist Church, Fort Worth,
sta'ed to his congregation Sunday
night. April 30th. that he had *or.e
into the saloon business. He hid
married two saloonkeepers that dav
and promised to marry the third one
that week. In addition to this, be re-
cently conducted the funeral In four
saloon families, two of them being
aloonkeepers. Baptized three wo-
men. all wives of saloonkeepers in
one night, and persuaded two saloon
men to go out of the business during
the la3t month. And further announ-
ced that with every drop of his blood
he wanted to get every saloonkeeper |
out of business July 22nd. And this j
saloon connection, by this pastor, 's |
rather significant. In view of the fact
Jhat he has been shelling the saloon |
business constantly for some months.
Saloon men appreciate preachers who
are not afraid of the "sacred desk" I
in opposing their wicked business." {
We are informed that committees
will be appointed next week; that
Sprinter's ink" will be freely used In j
advertising the campaign, and that
the "battle will be pressed to tfe'
sates" by all churches of the town
in this co-operative ef'orr to the end
that sinners may be saved, and the
sp ritual life of all churches deepen-
ed.
It is 3aid that Dr. Norris preacher
to more people in his regular services \
than any preacher in the South. He
and Dr. Bradfield, editor of tha (
Christian Advocate, did more to run
the horse race gambler out of Texas j
than any twenty men in the state. i

THE BAPTIST CHURCH
It la a good practice to have your
Sunday school attend chruch aervlces
in a body as some of the classes ha .'e
been doing. We ought to encourage
church going among the young In ev-
ery possible way. The devil Is taking
his toll of them all the time, and bo
is dead sure to get those who do not
go to church.

Mrs. Moss McCandless has Joined
her husband here, and they have be-
come permanent fixtures in Mangum.
They came from Waco, Texas, her
husband having been with C. M. Stone
& Co. for some time, but they only
recently decided to make Mangum
their home.
It is only a short/time until the
next meeting of the Methodist Men's
Club. It seems that having so many
ladies present scared off the timid
members from the last meeting, so
we will probably go back to the regu-
lar form of meeting, having men only
next Tuesday evening. We hope the
old members will hold off other en-
gagements for this meeting. Attend
it in full force.
The Junior Methodist Club will
meet on the 2nd Friday evening in
next month. Let every pupil of clas-
ses • come.
