BULGIN IN
LECTURE TO
BIG CROWD
Half Chickasha Church Member-
ship Suffering from "Protract-
ed Infancy ' ' Declares Speak-
er in "Silly Girl" Sermon.
TAKES TEN VIRGINS
AS THEME'S BASIS
Don't Burn Candle with the Dev-
fl and Blow Soot in God's

Tonight.
1 SUNDAY
11:00 Dr. Bulgin "The Seven
Great Doctrines of tho Bible."
2.30 Dr. Bulgin. "Wilt Thou
Bo Mado Whole?"
7:30 Dr. Bulgin "Conditions
Demanding Hell" or "How
Can God Bo a God of Lovo
nml Allow Anyone to Go to
Hell?"
That at least fifty per cent of tho
lnembCHhlp of Chickasha churches
are suffering from "protracted in-
fancy" in thoir spiritual make-up
and are busy trimming oilless lamps
as the five foilisll virgins was the
opinion expressed by Dr. E. J. Bul-
gin in his sermon to a crowded
house at the union revival tabernacle
last night Character cannot be built
in a crisis the revivalist declared
in arguing dying grace and death
bed conversion.
Dr. Bulgin spoke last night to the
bicgest nudienco that has turned out
sice Sunday. In dealing wTTlT the
topic "Poor Fiolish Silly Girls" tho
speaker presonted In tho form of a
paraLolic lecture ( a strong attack
against procrastination in religion
rapping the man" who lives with thj
intent of .burning out his candle with
tho Devil and . bloving the toot in
God's face. Character and patience
are things which may not bo trans-
ferred while man tries to fight his
' neighbor's spiritual battles. Dr. Bul-
. gin pointed out.
Basing his discourse on tho parable
of tho ten virgins who went out to
meet the bridegroom with trimmed
lamps tho revivalist said in open-
ing: "I love to read tho story of tho
ten virgins and to me it will always
be sweet though the infidels and free
.... i. ...i.i. u
imnners auacit u wu
My interpretation of tho story is
that it is a character parable. The
famous infidol. Bob Ingcrsoll ques-
tioned tho story of the wedding that
lasted nutil after midnight but its
truth is backed up by history. A par-
ahlo is a story that is truo a fable
is untrue.. In this parahlo wo must
remember tho speaker the one spok-
en to tho purpose of the speech and
the customs: of tho age.
"I hare : heard Ingcrsoll refer to
the Bible story of heaping coals on
a neighbor's . bead calling U. torn
foolery. T5uf tho Lord did mean ai-
tual. livo 'coaU) though we must re
fer to tho customs of carrying fire in
a box on tho head for the purpose of
baking brpad In a community oven
beforo we can understand tho verna-
cular of that ago. Bob IngersoTf w as
a great big fool and didn't know what
he was talking about.
"In studying the parahlo we must
go back to the history of tho old
Jews and find out how and why
they did things over there. The
church is represented by the Tirgins
parable as being completely asleep.

BROTHER OF LOCAL
HONORED FOR
ACTION
For remaining at his post of duty
in the midst of shot and shell
when his patients and his attendants
were being killed round about him
Dr. Frank McGregor of Mangum.
brother of P. II. McGregor ot the
Chickasha Cotton Oil Company has
been awarded the British medal for
bravery and ciici for speci.'l com-
mendation by his superior officers.
The story is related by Percy Noel
special British war correspondent.
He compares this bravery with tho.
habiUjif tho German physicians who j
apparently have the habit of running
away nnd leaving their wouicteu to
dio - when danger approaches. The
following is the story of Mr. Noel:
"The other day at. Achiet-le-Grand
1 saw about fifteen dead Germans ly-
ing on stretchers in a very substan-
tial stone building which had been
made bomb proof by concreto for the
protection of the German medical of-
ficers. . The dead men shewed no
signs of having been killed by the
'"'losion of tho shells that had fall-
en around thp dressing room. Ap-
parently they had died froi their
wounds and want of attention before
the British took the town. Several
were partly stripped and the wound
dressings were only half completed.
There were no dead German medical
corps men in the vicinity so the

AMERICA TO CARRY ON
By Unted Pr"ss.
Washington Sept. 14. Sev-
en billion dollars for next
year's military operatlolis will
bo asked of congress by tho
War Department. Chief of
Staff March let this bo known
in shortly disposing of the
press intimations that America
will not go through with the
war program. "Such a claim
is preposterous in its falsity"
ho said.
MAN IS
BRAVERY IN "
ON RHEIMS FRONT
obvious conclusion is thnrt they left
the wounded to die and ran for safe-
ty when the British attacked the
town.
An American medical officer who
was attached to the British anny
Medical Corps serving with the two
divisions which fought so success-
fully south of tho llheiins the last
week in July acted quite differently
from those Germans. Shells fell about
him killing orderlies and even the
British wounded he was attending
but he worked on setting a noble
example to all who were with him.
Lieut. Prank Harrison McGregor
of the United States Medical Corps
has been honored by a British gen-
eral with tlio military cross and a
citation which reads as follows:
"During the operations from the
:". to tho 28tli of July nortnweac of
Nanteiul .Ufs medical officer dis-
played the greatest devotion to duty
nnd on tho 2:ird S0o casualties pass
ed thrcugh his aid post which was
established in the open. Although his
orderlies and the men ho were at
tending were killed nrtund him he
confined at work. The example !.e
set won the admiration of all ranks
in the vicinity. The conduct of thi3
medical officer during the whole
the operation haa been
exemplary
mil merits the highest award.
