ifices in Oklahoma//" from debt.
The day dawned auspiciously,
just rain enough to lay the dust
nicely and to freshen up the at
hundred places in Oklahoma in
the next year or two, with a lit-
tle encouragement afforded by
competent brethren and the
same determined spirit <if conse-
crasion and progression on the
part of the community.

doing for them a good work.

sion of this dedication.
