Colored Teachers' Association Meets at Okmulgee Dec. 27 and 28th Tulsa Boys who were called by the Government to do Their "Bit." The Doctrine of Eternal Torment and Money Collecting in the Churches are the Most Blasphemous of God's Character Than All Other Errors Combined VOL. 6 The doctrine of Eternal Torment was introduced by Papacy to scare the pagans and make them join her system and support her priesthood. It flourished at the same time that bull fights and gladiatorial contest were the public amusements most enjoyed. This doctrine of Eternal Torment flourished wwwhen the crusaders were called holy wars and when men and women were called heritics and often slaughtered for speaking contrary to the teachings of papacy. The majority of the clergy have spent and are yet spending most of their time scaring the people in the churches, telling them to get in there and escape eternal torment and when the people get in the churches and put their name on the role they are made to understand that the Lord wants them to keep up their various church dues including a fat salary to the parson building fine church houses, etc. They are further made to understand that if they fail in these duties they will be turned out of the church where the Devil will get them and roast and torment them throughout eternity. The poor people have been taught and made to believe that the Lord needs their money in order to carry out His plans but dear friends I want to brand this money collecting in the name of the Lord as blasphemy to His righteous name. The Lord does not need your puny dimes and dollars to carry out his great plan. This money collecting business is a man made institution. I am fully aware that there are scriptures which are being misinterpreted by the clergy so as to make it appear that the collecting of money in the churches is authorized by the Bible. Some of the scriptures used are those referring to the Jewish custom of giving one-tenth, which has no application in this Gospel age, also the scripture statement "Muzzle not the ox that treadeth out the corn," which only means that a preacher should have the same opportunity to make a living as anybody else and that while he is giving all his time to advancing God's truth—(not lies)—he is entitled to the absolute necessities of life—place to sleep and food to eat and no more. Preachers are not to be a burden to the poor people in no way, shape, form or fashion. Instead of being a burden to the people the true servants of God should go and work with their hands to support themselves and be able to give to those less fortunate. Paul worked with his own hands that he might not be a burden to the people. The case where Christ had his deciples to catch a fish and get money out of its mouth and put it in the collection is sometimes held up to the people as Christ approving church collections but nothing is further from the truth than using this scripture in such way because Christ only intended to teach his deciples that it was the best policy for them to pay taxes to whatever government they may live under. I beg to again remind you, my friends, that the paying of fat salaries to preachers and the building of expensive church houses is not recognized by the Lord as work done unto Him. He wants no such work as that. He wants the poor people relieved of their burdens. The only condition under which the giving of money is accepted by the Lord is when it is given voluntarily and for the purpose of relieving the sufferings of the widows and orphans and others of a broken heart and also money given to aid others in getting in the truth of God's plan (not into lies). Friends, you will agree with me when I remind you that there are many millions of poor people in this land and country who are suffering greatly for the absolute necessities of life and many of whom are living in the very shadow of church houses that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. God is not pleased with such arrangements and in the near future He will dash to pieces the present order of things and arrange matters so that the humble hearted and oppressed will come into their own. Reverting to another phase of our subject I wish to say that the Old Testament scriptures were written in the Hebrew language and the New Testament in the Greek. The word "Hell" is an English word sometimes selected by the translators of the English Bible to express the same sense of the Hebrew word SHOEL and the Greek words Hades, TARTAROO and GEHENNA. These same words are sometime rendered "grave" and, "pit." The word "hell," in old English usage, before the Papal Theologians picked it up and gave it a new and special significance to suit their own purposes, simply ment to conceal, to cover. The word "hell" was therefore properly used synonymously with the words "grave" and "pit" to translate the words "SHEOL" and TULSA, OKLA., SATURDAY NOVEMBER 23, 1918. "HADES" as signifying the secret or hidden condition of death. The word Hell occurs 31 times in the Old Testament, and in every instance it is SHEOL in the Hebrew. It does not mean a lake of fire and brimstone nor anything resembling that thought; instead of it being described as a place of blazing fire it is described in the context as a state of darkness. Job 10:21 stead of being a place where shieks and groans are heard, it is described in the context as a place of silence (Psa. 115:17); instead of representing in any sense pain and suffering, or remorse, the context describes it as one of forgetfulness (Psa. 88:11, 12); "There is no work nor devise nor knowledge in the grave (SHEOL) whether though goest (Eccles. 9:10). In Matt. 11:23 is one case where the Greek word HADES is rendered Hell "And thou Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shall be brought down to hell"; I hope there is no one so silly as to think that the city of Capernaum is down in hell roasting in agony. The fact is that Capernaum is in the Bible hell, is in a condition as if it had never existed, in other words it is in a condition of non existence and that is the real meaning of the Bible Hell. The whole race of mankind, from creation to the present time, at death, go to this Bible Hell to wait the resurrection day, which is near even at the door. In the New Testament two other words are rendered hell; namely TARTAROO and GEHENNA which we will consider in the order named. TARTAROO has reference to the invisible condition of the atmosphere where the Angels that kept not their first estate, before the flood, were cast to wait the Judgment day. GEHENNA occurs in all 12 times, where it is rendered Hell (Matt. 5:22, 29, 30; 10:28; 18:9; 23:15, 33; Mark 9:43-47; Luke 12:5; James 3:6). GEHENNA is the Grecian mode of spelling the Hebrew words which are translated "The valley of Hinnon." This valley lay just outside the city of Jerusalem and served the purpose of sewer and garbage burner to the city. Every intelligent minister knows or should know that the greatest punishment God has prescribed for wilful sinners is death everlasting—the second death, a death from (Continued on last page) NO HEAD-RAG LEADERSHIP WANTED FOR THE RACE The war is over, and the world emerges from a seige of bloody war into an era of constructive peace. A new morale envelopes the family of nations, and our economic, social and political life must be reconstructed around a new standard of spiritual, moral and intellectual efficiency. The world, politically, economically and geographically, must be made over, and the job of reconstruction demands the wisest and most unselfish statesmanship of which mankind is capable. The world war was waged and fought to a successful conclusion, for representative government — for universal freedom. Ali races and creeds upon the afee of the earth made common cause against a common enemy that free institutions might not perish from the face of the earth; and the victor yis a common heritage that all men will and shall enjoy in common. But this common heritage—the property of all mankind—will only be enjoyed by those of the human family who command the most sagacious and unselfish Christian statesmanship. The American Negro will only get out of this world triumph of democracy that which the race's solidarity and wisdom challenge. The winning of world democracy for a family of nations does not necessarily guarantee that the constituents making up each nation, will enjoy fully the benefit of the triumph of government by the consent of the governed as individual citizens. Therefore, it is imperatively necessary that the Negroes of America meet and confer with an eye single to a leadership—a statesmanlike, constructive leadership — whose platform is the uncompromising enforcement of the provisions of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Federal Constitution; an equal share of civil and individual rights before the courts; a voice in the selection of representatives in every branch of our government. Let us meet, but not to confer about the leading of our forefathers into bondage in 1619, but to confer and sound the death knell to segregation, disfranchisement, pim-crowism, lynching, mob law, peonage, caste and proscription of every character. We want no more handkerchiefhead leadership which places human rights above pelf and plunder, that will go to Washington for the rights of all the people, rather than a job for self. The head-raig movement launched by Prof. W. E. B. Dubois, who recently asked us to "close ranks and forget our grievances," to celebrate and make immortal our induction into slavery, may have merit, but the independent cannot see it. The all-important question of the hour is MR. A. L. PHILLIPS He has worked hard, economized, and is now in a position to enjoy life. He is an extensive dealer in gasoline, and owns valuable real estate in Tulsa. He is a solid man, and lives a life that people have confidence in him, and his friends are legions. not when the Dutch traded and sold our ancestors into bondage, but how can we get our share of the world democracy for which we have been righting Germany. Haces do not celebrate their induction into slavery, but celebrate and make immortal their emancipation from every form of human servitude. What we want and the things we must confer about are, the right to vote and to have our votes fairly counted; equal accommodations on the railroads and all lines of transportation; segregation in public office and public places wiped out; the right to sit on juries and be tried in the courts by and before our peers; equal distribution of the public school funds and protection to life, liberty and property. While contending for these rights, we our rights to hold office or to enjoy any other privilege that the government holds out to any citizen. We merely place the rights of all the people above the rights of a few. We mean no close rank policy, or forget our grievances, until the interwhite men, for white men and by white men. No closing of ranks of forgetting our troubles—but opening the ranks and a steady fire all along the front until every wrong locally or nationally, civilly or politically shall give way to a government by the people. No compromise! No! No! No compromise, but a fight along constructive, radical if necessary— and constructive lines until we enjoy fully, and equally with every American citizen, the fruits of universal liberty come to the Negro in this country when he protests that he does not want to be known in national life NO 52 This heritage will not come to us by a continuous campaign of agitation and protest. We must get together under a safe and wise leadership and press our interests everywhere—learn to regard insults to one Negro, civily or politically as an insult to the race. We want leadership that wears no rags on its head, that has a backbone of steel, a heart of courage and an intelect keen to discover and resent injustice. A leadership that stands for the rights of all the people; one that seeks to relieve persecution for the race's sake, and will not compromise for money or position. A leadership endowed with the genius of organization, one that can solidify and unify the potent factors of twelve million patriotic people. Then, and not until then, can we sing "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." We want the freedom in America among a citizenship that America has won for the world in dethroning Kaiser William and Prussianism down in Europe. Here is to a leadership that will not compromise with race prejudice or halt on the threshold of temporary defeat.—ATLANTA INDEPENDENT. NEGRO'S ATTACK ON WOMAN IS SIGNAL FOR RACE RIOT WINSTON SALEM, N. C, Nov. 19.—Four known dead and a score or more injured, five of them seriously, was the toll early today, following a night of rioting resulting from an attempted lynching. Troops rushed here shortly after midnight apparently have the situation well in hand. Police believe others may have been killed. Firing continued up to an early hour today, efforts of the home guard and police to restore order being unavailing prior to the arrival of the troops. The mob formed Sunday afternoon and stormed the jail, seeking a negro charged with shooting J. E. Childress, a farmer, and Sheriff Flint and attacking rMs. Childress. After difficulty the police drove the mob out of the jail after the negro sought had been seriously wounded. Prof. J. W. Hughes has written a letter to Hon. Emmitt J. Scott requesting him to use and bring to bare all the influence within his reach to have a Colored man go to he "Peace Table" as a delegate. Many important reasons are given as to why one of our race should attend this great meeting. One of great importance is that a law of the League of nations should be so written that it would end mob violence in any nation belonging to the League of nations. .

THE worst species of humanity is the long-buried gossiper who is everlastingly meddling in some one's affairs, keep your house in order and you will find out you have a large sized job. WHAT has become of the old time mother who used to "drill her children" in how to be polite to every body, and for them to be sure to speak when they visit some one's home? PUT away something for the rainy, cold day, which is just peeping over the hill, it is so silly to wait until the blizzard strikes you before you commence to make preparations. You should at least be as sensible as the little aid. Dr. T. H.

S. J. Challoughlezileise, heir to the Provincial Throne of Myssinia, who is touring the United States for the third time, was in Tulsa again this week looking after a large of printing let to the Tulsa Star Printing Company. The Prince is not altogether a stranger here, having delivered several sermons and a lecture here in September, and his brilliancy and unusual eloquence has not been forgotten. The Prince is highly educated being the finished products of the best schools of his native land, Alexandra, Layp, Cambridge and Oxford, in England. As a philosopher and an orator, he has few equals and probably no superiors. He is probably the foremost Astralger of the Race and is now engaged in preparing regular and special life horoscopes, of which he is an accepted authority. Prof. Alfred E. Seward of Chicago, the noted Astralsoer of the white race, and the Abyssinian Prince were shoof mates in Greece, and both have travel quite extensively. Prince Challoughlezileise is a servaitizing, serpulous race man, a scholar, and agentman withal. In a general shooting affray at Mr. Loving's Place on Brady Street four men were shot, two of which were seriously injured. A MAN FULL OF PUSH The above is Mr. Goodwin, of the undertaking firm of Jackson and Goodwin, and who is one of Tulsa's progressive citizens. He has worked hard in the War Fund drive, and you may always depend on him to do his full duty by all race enterprises. LIFE OF BOOKER WASHINGTON COMMORATED Tuskegee, Ala., Nov. 16. "Thursday, November 14, masked the third anniversary of the death of Booker T. Washington, founder and first principal of Tuskegee Institute. At the regular chapel exercises held at the institute last Sunday night, Dr. Robert R. Moton, present principal of the Institute, delivered a brief but touching address on the life of Dr. Washington. He said among other things; "Booker Washington was a man with faith in his own race, in the white race, in the North, in the North, in himself and his God." "Is there anything better worth doing, young people, than to give your lives to service? There is nothing more worth while than to give yourselves to the service of your fellowmen. It does not make any difference who, Crown and thrones may perish and will. They are perishing. Selfishness will perish. Only virtue and honesty and unselfishness will live forever. Love that suffereth, is kind, is not puffed up vainly not itself. Love will never fail, and love permeated Booker and guided him in all of the great work God permitted him to do, for you and for me." Dr. Moton concluded his remarks with a strong appeal in behalf of the War Work Campaign which was launched at the Institute as follows; "What awonderful privilege, what wonderful opportunity and I have! Nobody has a greater chance to serve where service is most needed than is true of the students and workers of Tuskegee Institute. What a wonderful chance you and I have during this war, during this DRIVE, this war work drive to help the boys over yonder; all those who may go and those who remain for awhile. What a wonderful chance for service we have, and you ought to thank God every night of your lives and every morning for your mothers and fathers, your country; for Booker Washington and Tuskegee Institute. Other speakers in the interest of the War Work Campaign were: Mr. L. F. Graves of the Y. M. C. A.; Miss Unna Moses of Anniston, Alabama and Miss Luey Laney, founder of Haines Institute, Augusta, Georgia Tuskegee Institute pledged nearly $3000 to the War Work Campaign. The Star printed a considerable matter for "The Eyes of The World" to appear at the Dreamland Theatre Tuesday, Nov. 26. This is said to be one of the best pictures before the American public. Mrs. A.

TYLER Accredited Representative of the Committee on Public Information. Some where in France.—With a gasoline can as a rostrum, Secretary of War Baker in the course of his inspection tour over here, addressed an audience of more than 2000 Colored stevedore troops during their lunch hour. The speech, as well as the entire stage setting, was highly informal. Part of the Secretary's audience lay sprawled upon the roof of a half-finished warehouse overlooking the local gasoline can, and nearly all of them went on marching the contents of their mess kits as it was intended they should do. The Secretary told the men how proud the people, all the people, home were proud of them, and especially how proud their own race was of them. He told them a couple of short, comical stories that quickly surrounded him with an amphitheatre of white teeth all set in a broad smile. When he wound up by telling them that when he got back to America he was going to tell their people how well they had been doing, and the big shove they were giving to the army supplies which made it possible for the men at the front to win battles, he got such a "hand" as only strong and honest calloused palms can give a speaker both before and after his talk to them. Secretary Baker mingles among the men, asking them questions right and left, and thus getting much first-hand information from these Colored stevedores. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the Secretary's trip among the Colored men over here was at Blois. Here is a battalion of Class B and C men, all of whom had been wounded in action, and many of whom proudly wore the Croix de Guerre or the D. S. C. They were lured up for inspection, together with their splendid band, also composed of B and C men. The Secretary would not consent to their being introduced to him, but, as he put it, "It is an honor to be introduced to you." From the middle of the hoving ring and band stand combined, which is the pride of the Blois camp, Mr. Baker told them how much their efforts had been appreciated by the nation; how greatly the nation was indebted to them, and how they all of them, would be marked men in their communities throughout their entire lives for the service they had rendered their country in times of urgent need. "In after years," he said, "men will come home to their families and tell with pride and with a glow upon their faces, how they had met and fought with valiant fighting Colored men at Belleau Wood, at Chateau Theirry, at Soissons, on the Vesle and at Champagne Concluding, Secretary Baker said to these Colored troopers: "The history of America is in your hands, for you have enlarged it and helped to make it what it is to-day, a thing to fill every American with pride. Feats of Fearless, Colored Troopers On The Firing Line. Somewhere in France.—A successful raid, planned by one of the majors of the old 8th Illinois regiment, whose home is at Metropolis, Ill., was made in the Voucharn sector, and with great daring. The motor battery of the regiment first took part in laying down a barrage fire. The barrage fire began at 4 o'clock in the morning, just as the first rays of the sun shone sluggishly, and but dimly, behind the horizon. At the hour named, every gunner was at his gun. The major flashed an electric signal, and within a minute or two thereafter every gun fired simultaneously, as if connected by an electric battery. For fifteen minutes the Colored gunners kept up their barrage fire, and then a French company was sent out behind the barrage to make their raid. So surprising was the raid, and so quickly made, that but three of the Colored soldiers were wounded, and they but slightly, and but eight of the French, with whom they were fighting, while the German's casualty toll was eleven killed, three wounded, while the remainder were captured. Stories of the fight in the Argonne Forest, and the splendid endurance and valiant fighting of the Colored soldiers continue to come in. It is reported that a company of the old Ninth Ohio Battalion, under command of its Colored captain from Dayton, Ohio, laid in an open field all night, awaiting orders to go into action, while all the time the Germans were dumping 210 shells and 88 machine gun fire into them. But even in the face of such a muderous fire, the Colored line stood as firm as if the huge shells and muderous machine gun fire was but the discharge of toy blow guns. Among their casualty was Anderson Lee and William Chenault, of Dayton, who were killed. The firmness of the line these khaki-garbed black soldiers maintained in the face of a withered fire, a veritable hell, constitutes one more reason why the folks, the race, back home should be proud of these, their Colored soldiers over here, whose unyielding spirit and bravery is making history for the race. I have learned that Hill 304, which the French so valiently held, and which suffered such a fierce bombardment from the Germans that there is not a single foot of it but what is plowed up by sheils, and whose sides, even to-day, are literally covered with corpses of French soldiers who still lie where they fell, was later as valiantly held by the Colored soldiers from the United States, who fought with all heroism and endurance the best traditions of the army has chronicled. The Colored soldiers, under their own captain from Dayton, Ohio, who so splendidly maintained their line in the Argonne Forests, and those who held that bloody and forever historical Hill 304, had the odds against them, but like Tennyson's immortal bravely and well," firmed in the belief "It was not their's to reason why. It was their's "to do and die," and, like the patriots they were they did do, and this war's history will so record. Record of Colored Troops to Make Bright Page in History Somewhere in France.—When the war is over, and peace, lasting peace is declared, and the necessitous censorship has been lifted so one may mention the names of army units, cities and towns, the Colored historian who records the history of the Colored soldier in this war, will need no imaginative powers to tell of the service, the daring deeds of valor, and the incomparable fighting Colored men did over here in France. Verdun, No Man's Land, Soissons, the Vesle, Argonne, Champagne, et al., are vast urns which contain the story of how America's black soldiers fought; how they dared, bled and died to "make the world safe for democracy." Bordeaux, Brest, St. Nasair, Montoir, et al., will forever tell the story of the big achievements of the Colored stevedores who helped to make possible the victories of the fighting men at the front. The Y. M. C. A. huts scattered here and there, and in which now labor so splendidly and self-sacrificingly Colored Y. M. C. A. workers, will bear testimony, years after they have been deserted, of the part these non-combatants took in helping and buying up our boys. The story of Chrispus Attucks fell at Lexington in 1776 will be but a juvenile, a "Mother Goose" bed-time story beside the story of how our boys fought, and fell, at Champagne, Fort Pillow and Milliken's Bend of the Civil War will pale besides Chateau-Thierry and Argonne. The story of Spartans at Thermopylae, Light Brigade," as a recitation by the amateur elocutionists, will give place to the charge of the Colored troops, from America, at Champagne. The story of our Colored troops, combatants and non-combatants, in this war will make every Colored man, woman and child of to-day and tomorrow, proud of their race, and proud the were such one hundred per cent Americans as to do their bit cheerfully in this war. View it from any angle you may; locate yourself in any section of the United States you may, you will find, after this war, that the "New Day and New Duty" our friends have been prophesying for us will be present, and because of the record of valor made by the Colored soldiers here in France while pushing the Huns back from Chateau-Thierry into Wilhelmstrass. These Colored soldiers over there now quite two hundred thousand are proud they are here. They would not exchange the opportunity they have had for rendering service to their country for all the fabled richer of Goleonda, When German militarism has been crushed beyond restoration, and glorious peace shall have been achieved by the Allies these Colored soldiers, such as service, will be eager to return to the United States, glad that they ha Prescriptions, Carefully Compounded GIVE US A TRIAL We Manufacture Hair and Improve the Growth and appearance of Natural Hair.

Such as may fall on the field of battle, and many will beam a smile of satisfaction, before entering into eternity, that they had the glorious privilege of dying in, and for, a righteous cause to advance their race back in the states, and everywhere. Contact with the men over here confirms this statement. Knowledge of things over here makes it possible for me to declare that the pages in the history of this war will transmit to prosterity no records of atocial endurance and valor more lasting than the record made by Colored troops from Bordeaux to the Rhine.

A COLORED SOLDIER who recently died at Camp Travis was carried to Corpus Christi, Texas, for burial. A white military company and a military band stationed in that city met the train that bore the dead soldier and escorted the body to the soldier's forer home and thence to the memetary where a military burial was performed. And all of this, dear reader, happened in TEXAS. Surely, we are making rapid strides towards true democracy. YOUNGER HAS NARROW ESCAPE Man Who Assaults Officer Receives Severe Beating. Too much spirit of fermenti was the undoing of E. D. Younger Saturday night and came very near costing him his life. According to reports Younger in company with several other men entered the Well's lunch room on north Greenwood and ordered something to eat, which was given them by the attending waiter. The men had not been in there long before Younger began using profane language. The proprietor of the place remonstrated with him and succeeded in quieting him for a few minutes, but at the suggestion from one of his companions to "have your fun" he soon renewed his bad manners, cursing the proprietor, L. W. Wells, who landed a vicious left somewhere about the facial countenance of Younger. This was not much to Younger's particular liking and he retaliated with a counter punch which found lodgement on Well's jaw. Then the big show started. Taking hold of Younger Weils forced him to the door and throwing off Younger's companions who were hanging on to him, he planted three or four hard blows in Younger's face at the same time pushing him out the door. His companions followed him but they were not satisfied and started back in the place. They all soon changed their minds, however, and the route too, when Wells faced them with a "business-like" automatic in his hand. Following the excitement at the Well lunch room Youngera terrorized pedestrials in the business section of Greenwood by his loud and vulgar talk. When a friend of his approached him and reminded him that he was one of the leading men of his church and asked him to desist in his street brawl, Younger is said to have replied, "d—n the church and you too." A few minutes later officer Henry Pack appeared on the scene and placed Younger under arrest, taking him to the corner of Archer and Greenwood where there is a police box. As he was in the act of phoning for the patrol wagon, as the story goes, Younger jerked the officer's club out of his hand and with an oath struck the officer a stunning blow on the head, felling him to his knees. The officer soon recovered himself, however, and grasping the club in one hand he landed several blows with the other in Younger's face, which was already bleeding from the treatment Wells had given it, but to no good effect. In the meantime Younger continued to show a disposition to fight and the officer at last pulled his gun and struck his prisoner several times with it on the head. Still Younger showed fight. Evidently determined to protect himself from further harm from his unruly prisoner, the officer aimed his gun at Younger's stomach and fired. Just as he pulled the trigger Younger knocked the gun down and bullet went wild. After all of this the whiskey-crazed man continue to abuse the officer, cursing him for all manner of viles names until the patrol arrived and he was placed therein still cursing the officer and making threats of what he would do as soon as he regained his liberty. Bleeding profusely, Younger was hauled to the police station and put in a cell where he was left over night and Sunday to reflect and to meditate over the antics of his Satanic majesty, king Barlecorn. Prof. N. J. C. Johnson, one of Oklahoma's veteran school teachers and one of our foremost race men, spent the week end in Tulsa looking after business affairs. Prof Johnson is now dealing in real estate, for the most part buying and selling leases. THE Colored man must, like other people, study after war conditions, thereby be prepared to meet them. We, as a race, should learn to cut lose from our old methods of just drifting along with the tide. The Race's general condition can be greatly benefitted if we will only think some. Ed G. HOWARD 107 N. Greenwood St. PRACTICAL BUSINESS MAN [Name] Mr. Chas. Allan The above gentleman since arriving in our city has proven that he is strictly a business man, and that his tailoring establishment on Archer Street is well patronized. Mr. Allan is full of Race pride, and may be depended on to do his bit in helping to elevate our people. OUR NATIONAL DEBT The national debt of the United States has reached proportions never equalled. This debt was incurred through determination of the American people to prevent Germany becoming the autocratic ruling power of the world. It was money well spent. Uncle Sam needs great sums of money and will for several years to come. We should continue to invest every dollar we can in Liberty Bonds and War Saving Stamps. Such investments not only help the United States government but they help you to save and accultate something for the lean years that are to follow. It will be a mutual benefit. Save every quarter and invest in Thrift Stamps. Buy more W. S. S. — Victor Week, Nov. 18 to 23. Brown's Chapel C. M. E. church will hold its fourth and last quarterly meeting Sunday at 3 p. m. Rev. C. Dearman filled the pulpit at the First Baptist church Sunday and made a favorable impression on his hearers. Mr. H. L. Byars, the expert tailor, spent a few days visiting in Oklahoma City, Weleetka and Okmulgee last week, returning home Saturday. The Light of the City club will entertain at the home of Mrs. A. L. Phillips in honor of Mrs. Phillips and her sister, Miss Parks, who will leave Tuesday morning for Omaha to visit relatives and friends. The funeral of Mrs. Lula Miller, former resident of this city who died in Kansas City, was held at the Mr. Zion Baptist church Sunday under the auspices of the Jackson-Goodwin undertaking company. The funeral was conducted by Rev. R. A. Whitaker, pastor of that church. The Star printed bills during the past week advertising a patriotic ball to be given at the Loving place on the evening of Nov. 24th. The proceeds of the ball will go to help the Red Cross work. Mr. Loving is a progressive race man and a liberal patron of the Star. HE IS SUCCEEDING AS RESTAURANT MAN PETER B. Mr. Joe Lockhard This gentleman is making good in Tulsa, and his restaurant on Archer Street is well patronized. He has an interesting family, and is a public spirited man. Mr. Lockhard is a credit to our Race. Mrs. Columbus Ross leaves to-night POPULAR GIRL DOING GOOD for Chicago, where he will visit relatives. Presiding Elder Tombs of Guthrie was here Monday morning enroute to Muskogee. Lawyer Watman, an attorney-at-law, was here Sunday, the guest of Judge Saddler.

Mr. and Mrs. W. H. nivipps, Miss Pony Griffin and little Marrie Lewis molored to Tatt, Okla. Industrial School aSaturday on some business and to inspect the school, returning late Saturday night. Hon, E. E. Moody, supervisor and deputy of the Woodmen of America, stopped over in our city a few hours oftway en route to Oklahoma City. This excellent gentleman has made a wonderful record in the Woodman work and is looked upon as one of the best men connected with that strong organization. THE COLORED MAN who fails to have some kind of a Colored newspaper in his home from week to week is a stumbling block in the pathway of the race's progress. We should at least be Race-loving enough to read our own newspapers, which are doing more than any other known agency to correct the wrongs being daily practiced against the Race. THE COLORED MAN has reached the stage of life wherein it is very necessary for him to practice rigid economy, if he ever hopes to be more than "hewers of wood and drawers of water." Let us live, act and teach economy along all lines and thus render a great service not only to our government generally, but to our Race particularly. OUR WOMEN have a great field of labor before them and to successfully carry out their gret work they need to organized. The effective work of organized clubs among our women will do more than anything else to fix the race's place in the new erra now dawning upon us. In fact the salvation of the race in this country depends largely upon the work improvement work to be done by our women. Mr. Thos, R. Sentry, the wide awake business man, had Judge E. L. Saddler and the managing editor, The Baughman, at his home Sunday to dinner, and "believe me" the table fairly groaned under the heavy load of good things prepared by Mrs. Gentry, who certainly knows how to cook. Mr. and Mrs. Gentry own one of the best homes of the Race and they know how to make you welcome. Mr. Gentry is one of Tulsa's successful Race men and his record is one that any one might be proud. The way his guests did eat they enjoyed the many delicacies prepared by Mrs. Gentry. Rev, Crawford and a delegation from the various Baptist churches of this city went over to West Tulsa Sunday and organized a new Baptist church. THE Colored man hasn't the time to be picking out the short comings in his fellowman; if you see one of the race engaged in a worthy cause help push him along, whether you like him or not. There are entirely too much "putting one over" among our people. THE TULSA HOUSEHOLD SUPPLY COMPANY. 16 South Main Street We Sell, Buy And Exchange Furniture...

SILL LAWTON, OKLA., Nov. 16. Friend Smitherman: Witnessed the georgeous military parade from the Fort Sill school of Fire and Camp. Guess you read an account of same in the daily papers. In the parades were 15 Negroes from a Labor Battalion at Fort Sill These Negroes were carrying the "signs" in the parade. Within the last 10 days about 300 Negroes were brought to Fort Sill for the Labor Battalions. Many of our race people are employed out at the Camp in the officer's homes and Hostess' houses, and are being well paid for their service. Presenting a letter from Mayor Hubbard to the Fort Commander, with a request of visiting the Race hospital, I was given a very hospitable greeting and on of th officers showed me through the entire hospital and very minutely described and explained everything to me. My visit to the base hospital consumed three hours. Our men are deprived of a wonderful benefit; and the Race is certainly affected by the refusal or denay to our Negro Army physicians the privilege of serving our men in the base hospitals. The work at the base hospital is a training that will benefit not oly the physicians thus employed, but enables him to better serve humanity in general. Our friend J. B. Woods royally entertained me at his place. With best wishes, yours truly, DR. WICKHAM 0 Rollo Harris, Negro soldier in the detention camp at Camp Bowie, is declared by medical officers to be as nearly perfect physically as any man, white or black, they ever examined. Harris was a piano mover in Houston, Texas, before coming to camp, and is 27 years old, 6 feet 2 inches tall weighs 215 pounds and has a 7 inch chest expansion.—Exchange. "OGDEN HALL" OPENING AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE HAMPTON, VA., Nov. 19.—Dr. James Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, at the recent opening of "Odgen Hall," a new and beautiful auditorium which yill accommodate 2500 persons, paid tribute to Robert C. Ogden" service to the Nation. He said: "Mr. Odgen was one of the best friends the Colored race has ever had He was a man who had not only the power of claer visionand a consumate wisdom, but also that subtle quality of personal charm and sympathetic understanding which enabled him to bring people together. What a rare and precious and infinitely needed gift that is, needed today more than ever—the power to bring people together, to help them to see alike and think alike and feel alike and make allowances for one another." Dr. Gregg, in another address, referred to Mr. Ogden's service in bringing about the reconciliation of the North and the South, of the black man and the white man, the interpretation of each to each, bringing them to see how much common ground they really could and did stand upon, helping them to put each himself in the other man's place, enabling them to lay wise plans and to carry out high and fruitful enterprises for the future of the whole Nation." Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, emphasised the importance of cultivating the spirit of service which characterized men like Samuel C. Armstrong, Hollis B. Frissell, Booker T. Washington, and Robert C. Ogden—all friends of mankind. Dr. Gregg announced the election of the Rev. Henry Wilder Foote of Cambridge, Mass., to the Hampton board of trustees.

Gurley and Ed Howard, after transacting business in Chicago, returned home this week. These gentlemen are among our wide-awake business men. Miss Hillard of Muskogee has been a visitor to our city, and one certain gentleman has been carrying around a full face of smiles. Mrs. Nevella Lee Patton, the bride of Sunday evening's nuials, received a message yesterday morning stating that her younger brother, James F. Walker, who is now in Pueblo, Colorado, is very low sick. She may go to her brother's bedside soon. Rev. Tucker and his congregation sent The Star a nice sum of money Monday morning to help the paper succeed. If more of our leaders would manifest that kind of interest in The Star it would be a decided success. No one questions Rev. Tuckers loyalty to Race enterprises. Major Brooks, the big cigar maker of the Race, who has a factory at Okmulgee, was a Tulsa visitor recently to notify his many customers that it was almost an impossibility to secure boxes in which to put up his wares. The Star sympathizes with Mr. and Mrs. Brooks in the death of their son which occurred recently at Okmulgee. The Booker T. Washington High School of Tulsa and Manual Training School of Muskogee will settle their differences so far as foot ball is concerned Saturday evening at 3:30 The game promises to be a good one. Rev.

A large number of our people from various parts of the state will be in attendance. Attorney, R. J. Hill and wife, after a profitable stay at Oklahoma City, where they attended the International Bible Convention are home to the delight of their many friends. The Star in previous issue, stated that Mr. Hill left for Indianapolis, and it should have been Oklahoma City. The Convention was largely attended and Rev. and Mrs. Hill, reports at the session a grand one. Rev. Hill was the only Colored man who had the pleasure of addressing the Convention.

(Continued from first page) which there will never be a resurrection. They also know that Hell and the grave means one and the same thing—oblivion, a state of non existence. They further know that the Lake of Fire and Brim-stone mentioned in the scriptures is symbolic of the second death and is not literal. They are or should be fully aware that the Israelites, their laws, customs and principal cities, while they really existed, were typical of greater things to come and that the Old and New Testament writers, including our Lord Jesus, many times used the literal city of Jerusalem and its literal cesspool, or garbage burner, (designated in the Bible as the valley of Hinnom, the lake burning with fire and brim-stone) to convey the proper thought concerning the coming kingdom of righteousness. The thought intended to be conveyed is that when the Lord's kingdom shall have been established in all the earth nothing will be allowed to remain in that kingdom which will hurt and offend the people, according to the rules for the government of the literal city of Jerusalem (made of stone, cement, brick and mortar), all filth was to be cast into the literal cesspool or lake burning with fire and brimstone to be consumed. Just so will it be in the antitypical city, the New Jerusalem, which is not made with hands or hammer. The antitypical cesspool or lake of fire which is to consume the filth of this antitypical city is not a literal place of literal fire and brimstone but is the second death. In other words the cesspool or garbage burner for the New Jerusalem is the second death. Rev. 19:20; 20:14, 15; 21:8. There are many poor persons of humble minds who desires to do the Lord's will but they are kept in darkness by a number of ignorant and selfish persons who are posing as ministers of God. I am glad to say that quite a number of ministers over the country are honest enough to acknowledge to their congregation that they have been teaching error. But to those who know not the truth and careless and who continue to dope the poor people with doctrines of fire and brim-stone and concoctions of emotionalism and whose chief aim is to gather in money and make a big show to the world I warn you that your days are numbered. The good shepherd is near. He will not much longer permit you unfailful servants to make a business of pening up and fleecing (collecting money from) His sheep. Oh the shame and confusion that will soon cover you faces for proogating the blasphemous doctrine of Eternal Torment, when your whole congregation come to know the justice of God and that the Bible does not teach this GOD-DISHONORING, TRUTH - BECLOUDING, LOVE - EXTINGUISHING, SAINT - HINDERING, SINNER-HARDENNING, DAMNABLE HERE SAY OF ETERNAL TORMENT (2 Peter 2:1).
