Muskogee Oklahoma Nov. 2111)18
Whereas God in His mercy and
In His own way has halted the war-
ring nations of the world that they

peace; and
Whereas during the Armistice the
President of this nation through the
Food Administrator has requested
the people of the United stales to

Now threfore luing impelled by
the .spiirl of patriotism and of hu

days of our lives I do hereby call up-
on all bulges households and juve-
niles within the jurisdiction to exer-
cise the very highest degree of patri-
otism commendable of the spirit of
Americanism and the courage or
our hoys who have perished in libcr-
l 's cause to use the utmost endeavor
to conserve in every way possible
the food .supply of this nation.

The Above is One of the
Lending Men Who Attend-
ed the Baptist State Con"
vention here last week.
Jehovah Coil has nlvas used hu-
man agents To communicate to man
Ills plans and purposes for them. At
different times Cod lias intimated
to man his plans anil purposes b)
positive statements symbols tpes
and shadows; and all down the ages
there have been a few persons who
loved God and desired In live in har-
mony witli him and therefore would
gladly icrcive nil) message sent to
them concerning Ills (ileal plan; hut
tile great masses of mankind lias al-
ways been selfishly bent In opposi-
tion to God's purposes.
The crowning point of the plans of
Jehovah is a CI.KAN UNIVEBSF.
WITHOUT SIN AND I.IFF.I-'Vlill-I.ASTING
TO ALL Til 12 WILLING
AND OBF.DIF.NT OF HIS CBI-A-Tl'HIiS.
From creation up to the present
time God has used III iirllioIp.il mes-
sengers In communicale to the world
the various steps and progress of
His plan. The periods in which God
has shown most of Hiv-ibms and pur-
poses to man are the Patriarchal
ARe (from the flood In the deatli of
Jacob) the Jewish Age (from the
death of Jacob to the Baptism of
Christ) and the Gospel Age (from
the baptism of Christ to His .second
coming which Is the end of the Gos-
pel Age). The principal messengers
to man during the Patriarchal Age
were F.NOCII and JACOII; those
during the Jewish Age were MOSKS
SAMUF.L JOB DAVID. SOLOMON
DANII'L IIOSKA JOEL. AMOS. O-
HADIAII JONAIIMICAH NAIIUM
IIAHAKKUK. Xl-PIIANIAII HAGGAI
and JOHN THIS BAPTIST; the incs-
seengers to the Gospel Age were (as
shown In Itev. 1:11 that the church
would be developed through seven
.stages of experience; the meaning of
the different names of the churches
to which John wrote were signifi-
cant c.f the character of each experi
ence) PAUL to Fphesus John to
to Smyrna AHIUS to Pergainns
PICTI-HWALDO to Thyatlrn WY-
CLIFFF. to Sardls MABTIN I.ITH-I-lt.
to Phildelphia and CHAHLIiS
T. IIUSSKLL to Lcodicea.
Snace will not permit comment
noon Hie life and character of each
of the above named messengers of
God but their whole-life is spread
upon the records of both sacred and
profane history so that any one who
desires may see for themselves.
Ail the true prophets or messen-
gers of (iod have identified them-
selves to the world liy the fact that
their messages have always been in
ihenatiire of warnings to reform and
it lias tdwas been directed against
a ruling niajoilty having a false form
of Godliness and also all the true
messengers have held out to llie
world the C1I0WNING POINT OF
GOD'S GltKAT I'l-AN OF SALVA
TION (the hone of restitution thru
lasting llfe.bgtkaobgkitaoifw fwk
the resurrection of the dead lo life
everlasting). The scripture plainly
shows all who would see that any
one who does not hold out to the
world hope of everlasting life thru
tlie resurection of the dead and resti-
tution Is not a true holy prophet or
messenger (Acts 3:2121).
God loves the world; so much so
that He gave His only Son to die that
nil men might have life everlasting
in his due time upon the sole condi-
tion that they are- willing ami obedi
ent to His righteous laws (John 3:10.
In these limes of confusions of
doctrines how shall we know the
true messengers from the false ones'
Tlie Lord places the responsibility
upon us to study His word and learn
of His character undplan. II desires
us to look to Him as an example of

ACC1DKNT IN STAIt OFFICE
CAUSES DELAY OF PAI'Elt
The accidental "pielng" of one of
our newspaper forms last night Just
before going to press caused u delay
of the Star today. The office force
worked all nigh! last night to get the
lorm reauy again ror the prcs In
time for an early morning run but it
was impossible to do so. This is
only one of the many things that
happen in und around a newspaper
office to lest tlie religious proclivi-
ties of the editors und working force
which at best are not any too strong.
We trust tlie public embrace by
our readers will overlook whatever
shortcomings there may be In evi-
dence In tlie general appearance of
llie paper this week.
