We are glad to note the interest the
brethren are taking in the Christian.
Our little paper is r. «w ^oinc to eight
hundred hones .n the terr;t' rv. Keep
your work before the brethren by re-
porting through the Christian.
Don't fail to read the splendid article
"Lessons From a I>jg." from the skill-
ful pen of M. M. Davis. Brother Davis
is one of the best writers of our entire
church and the Christian congratu-
.*v> itself in securing him as one of
our contributors.

BrotherBoen: I am much pleased with
the Oklahoma Christian, I am sure
you will accomplish much good through
its columns. May our Heavenly Father
bless you and Josephine in your noble
work I believe it is understood that
Texas has only loaned you to Oklahoma:

afterwards lar^re spik• - were driven into
it. they would not bold because the log
was rotten. There was a time when it
would have seized and held them with
all the visror and strength of life, but
that time bad passed.
From this little parable of life let u.s
learn a lesson. In \-outh most of us are
healthy and strongf. and the heart re-
ceives noble appeals with enthusiasm.
If this habit is cultivated we grow into
strong manhood, and become stalwart
trees in the forest of life: if not. we
sicken, and rot and die. so that no ap-
peal. however strong or tender, finds
anything in us.
A youne man reared in a pure home,
entered school, did good work, gradu-
ated with honor, and bejran what all
believed to be a career of brilliancy and
power Satan saw in him a foe to be
dreaded, and besrar. his attack on him.
P ison was skillfully injected, and the
vigorous health of early life at once
showed its ejects. Evil association,
bad books, worse plays, and drink,
with its long train of kindred vices, all
combined to hasten his downfall. At
first be realized his condition and made
heroic efforts to save himself. His
friends rejoiced and -aid the struggle
would only be the making of him. But
hardly had this applause ceased when
he was down again. He rallied and

him most and loved him best, lost
heart. They saw him resolve and re-re
solve: they witnessed his tears, and
heard his vows of reformation, and yet
he steadly grew worse. What el-e
could they do": But there was one ex
ception. An old classmate still had
hope. He believed there was good in
him yet. and pulled him out of the gut-
ter. bruised and filthy, nursed him and
dressed him. and when, as he thought
the op{«ortunities came he made a final
efort to arouse him. He told him of
his sad father and mother, whose hopes
he bad blasted, and whose hearts he
had broken. b_t it bad no e-Tect. He
reminded him of a lovely sister, and of
one who was even nearer than a sister,
but ill ir. vair.. He told him of his pros-
pects. and of the willingness of the
world to forgive, and painted in glow-
ingcolors a lifeof eminence and honor,
but there was no response. He told
r.im of t..e future fate in store f<>r mur-
al wrecks, ar.d warned him to llee from
the wrath to come, but still he was deaf

all in our powertoward tlx; ad vancement
of His Kingdom. l><-t us make this
year the banner year ol our exi.stance as
a (J. VV. H. M. organization. I have all
faith that it will be. 1 believe we are
all so planning,and when the sisters put
their heads together and plan, there are
always good results. Hut, sisters, let
us plan on our knees, for we must trust
in a stronger guiding hand than our
own. I know every sister in Kansas
feels in her heart that she would like to
give a silver offering this silver anni-
versary year to help raise that *90,000,
and with a little sacrifice on our part we
can do it. Our entire sisterhood ought
to feel an interest in this great work be-
ing done by our noble band of women.
When we think of the great fields that
are white now unto the harvest, bow
can we sit idly by? Souls are perishing
on every hand; in our own beloved
Christian nation as well as in all other
nations. If we raise our number to
90,000 this year, which we must and will
do if every C. W. B. M. sister will do her
part, we will then be able to do three
times the amount of work that was done
last year. Yet how little that will be
when compared with what ought to be
done toward Christianizing the whole
world, for "There remaineth yet very
much land to be possessed." Think of
the destitute places in our own country,
and the weak struggling churches that
need our help. "Ye that are strong
I ought to bear the infirmities of the
weak." Think of us as people placed,
we might sayprovidentially.in the very
. heart of the greatest nation on earth, and
the genius of our New Testament posi-
tion and movement is in admirable
keeping with the genius of our nation."
Let us pray that God "May make us a
leaven among the millions of our native
■ land while He makes us a conquorini;
power to multiplied millions in other
lands." May each of us strive to do all
i in our power to increase our numbers
and thereby increase our strength and
ability to do a greater work in the fu
ture than we have everdone in the past.
Let us each feel that.
"I am but one;
But I am one.
I cannot do everything.
Hut I can do something.
What I can do I ought to do.
And what I ought to do
God helping me, I will do."

The following letter from our form-
er Territorial Secretary. Sister Hil-
ton. to the JDnhm shows her
to be alert as ever- in advancing
the cause of Christ through missions.
What Oklahoma has lost Kansas has
cained. but believing her exhortation
applies to us all we present it to the
readers of the Oklahoma Christian:

of another new year, let us reconsecrate
ourselves to the services of our Master

Mahan writes: "C. W. B. M. Day was
observed here, December 4. The pro
gram was excellent, and was given in
the presence of a large audience. A
>pecial offering of £4.50 was taken.
Oklahoma City church is pushing to the
front in this noble work. May the C.
W. B. M. be aroused by the rallying
cr\. *ai! along the lino. These fron-
tier churches know something of the
needs and blessings of mission work."
i he Christian is coining right to
the front and will help us in our work
for L hi ist in this territory as nothing
else could. 1 hope your subscription
list may soon grow to size that the
paper will be found in every Christian
home in the territory.
