noon. Mr. Howe came to Oklahoma in
an early day and has been one of the most
successful farmers in the county, He

the Christian church. He has been an
elder in this church more than half his
religious life. Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. J. B. Boen at the

report of our strength, work and pros-

Words of Encouragement
Oklahoma City, January 11—How
very grateful we should be for the ex-
pressions of our brotherhood in behalf
of the forward movement in this the ju-
bilee year. The time was ripe for the
expression of W. J. Wright in his ad-
dress before the Chattanooga conven-
tion when he said, "Missions are the
Heart of church life." It touched a re-
sponsive cord in the hearts of our peo-
ple and they said, let us save 100,000
souls in '99. That cry comes ringing
through the land and reverberates on
every hilltop. What a victory that will
be, and how our hearts will rejoice, when
the year closes, to know, that we have
done our part as valliant soldiers.
O. P. McMaiian.
Stillwater Notes.
Stillwater January 11.—There is
abundant prospect for a continued pros-
perity for the church here. Since occu-
pying our new building, December 5th,
we have had six additions to the mem-
ship, our Sunday school has increased
from forty-five to one hundred and our
audiences at regular church services ti 11
the house.
As regards linances we are in first
rate condition. Current expenses,build-
ing accounts and other obligations have
all been met. Our notes given to the
extension board will be paid when due.
We borrowed only £400. We have the
best church building in the county.
I congratulate the managers, and in-
deed the brotherhood of Oklahoma at
A New Organization
Mulhall, January 9—We have just
closed a good meeting one-half mile
east of this place, where we have hith-
erto had no organization. We organ-
ized with thirty-two members,fifteen of
whom were by primary obedience, seven
from other religious bodies and the rest
consisted of persons who had been mem-
bers elsewhere.
A Bible School was organized and
$2.78 collected for Oklahoma missions.
I expect to take up pastoral work
again and churches within reach of Mul-
hall who desire to secure a minister for
one fourth or half time can get my
terms by corresponding with me at this
place.
I expect to do what I can to bring
our plea to the front in Oklahoma and
the world. W. S. Rehorn.

He was a native of Pennsylvania and a| a two week's meeting at the Indepen
veteran of the late war. He has been
elder of the church for more than half
of his religious life, and was faithful to
his sacred duties. We visited him sev-
eral times during his last days and al-
ways found him anxious to talk about
the home across the river. He was as
complacent anil willing to go as if he
were going to take a trip back to his
dence school house, twelve miles due
east of Perkius, Payne county, Okla-
homa. The meeting was held in the in-
terest of the church, at "Free Silver"
school house located just three miles
west of Independence. The result of
our two weeks work was to add twelve

gregation. Eight by confession; one
old home. The evening before he died j from the Baptist, one from the Metho-
