THE OKLAHOMA CHRISTIAN,
Western Oklahoma Notes.
We hear pleasant things of Thk
Christian all alonK the way, such as
"It is the most interesting paper we
take." ''It gives us home news."
We consider Tiik Ciikistian is grow-
ing better all the time, and know it
should be in the home of every Disci-
ple. but our people just now cannot
see their way clear in the outlay.
We arc still at work for the Master,
and in our feeble way for the unity of
God's people and the simple and com-
mon salvation of the gospel of Christ.
We preach at Homestead, thirty
miles east and four miles south of
Ohester, the first and third Lord's day
of each month; at Hope the Friday
night before tne second and fourth
Lord's day: at Tivoli the night
following: at Chester the second and
fourth Lord's day: at I'hosso Tuesday
night after these latter dates, and al-
ways on the following Wednesday
night I lecture to the young people at
the weekly prayer meeting at Chester.
On Thursday night after the second
and fourth Lord's day, at Dane, mak-
ing eighteen discourses each month
including t he prayer meeting lecture.
The audiences are very good. The
true word presented is eagerly listened
to. The Held is large and laborers
few, that is the kind needed to push
Christ's work.
Our secretary of the Board, Bro.
Williams, has a comprehensive view
of the situation. When 1 tirst started
out in the work a brother of experi-
ence, knowledge and long service, liv-
ing near Bonto, Dewey county, made
the remark that one of the great
troubles with our church was we had
too many preachers. I had thought
we did not have enough. On asking
him in what way we had too many, lie
remarked: "The kind." From a lim-
ited experience, 1 have swung to his
view. As an example, a traveling
preacher calling himself a preacher of
the Christian church, called on a con-
gregation and they allowed him to
preach. It was not long until one
evening he opened a shoe shop and
made shoes for his audience and fold
them to wear tlie shoes home. One
pair he turned out was "anti Sunday
school," and when he was through he
had worked up all the 'anti" material
in sight. The congregation being
well founded and cared for by good
elders, little harm was done. The
gentleman traveled west and called
on another congregation. They asked
him for a letter of recommendation
from some one whom they knew or
from tlie missionary Board of the ter-
titory. He informed them that he
needed no recommendation from any
but God. We did not have an oppor-
tunity to sample his goods in that.
community.
This brings to our mind that if one
line of action was adopted by the mis-1
sionary board, i. e., giving letters of:
recommendation to men whom they
knew to tie worthy and efficient, if j
would soon weed out this evil. The
hrethen would soon learn that if a
new man was building up the activi-
ties of the church he would In? in line
with the Territorial Board.
Our Sunday schools arc increasing
in interest. Christian Endeavor doing
well.
We expect to attend the annual En-
deavor convention at El Reno and
touch elbows witli the workers, and
bring back west witli us some cultivat-
ed enthusiasm.

Do not fail to have your society rep-

El Reno with certificates three days
before opening date of convention.
Sundays not counted, so tickets arc on
sale May 18 and certificate is good for
return for three days after convention.
When you buy your ticket be sure to
have the agent give you a certificate
with it.
El Reno provides free entertainment
for seven ffom each society.
A Christian Endeavor society has
been organized in the Darlington In-
dian school. These Indian boys and
girls will attend the convention one
evening and will furnish a short pro-
gram before the regular evening ses-
sion. This will certainly be interest-
ing.
The teachers in the Darlington In-
dian school have arranged a half hour's
program which they will have when
we take our outing and dri ve to that
school.

site Company has presented us with
two lots, a corner lot fronting east
and south, and tne adjacent lot for a
parsonage. Of course our doing any-
thing this fall depends to a large ex-
tent upon the wheat crop. While the
work is not progressing as rapidly as
we desire, yet there is progress in the
spirituality and growth of the Disci-
ples, and great interest manifested.
What we need is more of God's grace
and more sonsecration to work in and
out of season.
