Colored Teachers' Association Meets at OkmulgeeDEC. 26 and 27 The Man o The Man of The Hour COL. E. D. JEFFERSON GRAND MASTER ISSUES PROCLA- MATION EDICT Grand Master E. D. Jefferson, the popular leader of the Odd Fellows of Oklahoma, working in harmony with the United States Food Administration has issued the following proclamation to the subordinate lodges of Oklahoma: Muskogee, Oklahoma, Nov. 21,1918 Whereas, God in His mercy and in His own way has halted the warring nations of the world that they may talk terms of an honorable peace; and, Whereas, during the Armistice the President of this nation through the Food Administrator, has requested the people of the United states to conserve food to the end that every A Race A Race Leader A Race Leader Judge Lee of Boynton The Above Leading Men ed the Baptis invention here The Above is One Singing Men Who At the Baptist State ion here last we The Above is One of the Leading Men Who Attended the Baptist State Convention here last week. AOL. 7 hungry mouth should be fed among our people and their allies. Now, therefore, being impelled by the spiirt of patriotism and of humanity ino our wish to serve well the days of our lives, I do hereby call upon all lodges, households and juveniles within the jurisdiction to exercise the very highest degree of patriotism commendable of the spirit of Americanism and the courage of our boys who have perished in liberty's cause to use the utmost endeavor to conserve in every way possible the food supply of this nation. Witness my hand the day and year above written, E. D. JEFFERSON Grand Master Grand United Oredr of Odd Fellows Leader is One of the Who Attend State Con last week WEEKLY MAIL EDITION BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF AND DECIDE FROM THE EVIDENCE AS TO WHO PRESENTS GOD'S TRUE CHARACTER AND PLAN Jehovah God has always used human agents to communicate to man His plans and purposes for them. At different times God has intimated to man his plans and purposes by positive statements, symbols, types and shadows; and all down the ages there have been a few persons who loved God and desired to live in harmony with him and therefore would gladly receive any message sent to them concerning His Great plan; but the great masses of mankind has always been selfishly bent in opposition to God's purposes. The crowning point of the plans of Jehovah is a CLEAN UNIVERSE WITHOUT SIN AND LIFEEVERLASTING TO ALL THE WILLING AND OBEDIENT OF HIS CREATURES. WILSON KEEPS IN CONSTANT TOUCH WITH THE WORLD Aboard the U. S. S. George Washington, Dec. 6—President Wilson read with much interest today a wireless account of Winston Churchill's declaration that Great Britain will not allow anything to interfere with her supremacy of the sea. He declined to make any comment on the speech. The President has fully recovered from the cold from which he had suffered for several days and today buckled down to hard work. He cleaned up a bunch of correspondence with Secretary Tumulty by of many documents turned over to him by Secrete of state Lansing. So far no formal consultations have taken place between the president and Secretary Lansing, Henry Whie or any other member of the American Mission aboard the George Washing. Mr. Wilson talked over the wireless telephone today with Admiral From creation up to the present time God has used 31 principal messengers to communicate to the world the various steps, and progress of His plan. The periods in which God has shown most of His plans and purposes to man are the Patriarchal Age (from the flood to the death 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 Gospel Age). The principal messengers to man during the Patriarchal Age were ENOCH and JACOB; those during the Jewish Age were MOSES, SAMUEL, JOB, DAVID, SOLOMON, DANIEL, HOSEA, JOEL, AMOS, O-BADIAH, JONAH,MICAH, NAHUM, HABAKKUK, ZEPHANIAH, HAGGAI and JOHN THE BAPTIST; the messengers to the Gospel Age were (as shown in Rev. 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 significant of the character of each experience), PAUL, to Ephesus, John, to Smyrna, ARIUS, to Pergamos, PETERWALDO, to Thyatira, WYCLIFFE, to Sardis, MARTIN LUTHER, to Philadelphia, and CHARLES T. RUSSELL, to Leodicea. Space will not permit comment upon the 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. All the true prophets or messengers of God have identified themselves to the world by the fact that their messages have always been in nature of warnings to reform and it has always been directed against a ruling majority having a false form of Godliness, and also all the true messengers have held out to the world the CROWNING POINT OF GOD'S GREAT PLAN OF SALVATION (the hope of restitution thus lasting life.vbgtkaobgkqtaoifw fkw the resurrection of the dead, to 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 thus the resurrection of the dead and restitution, is not a true holy prophet, or messenger (Acts 3:21.24). God loves the world; so much so that He gave His only Son to die that all men might have life everlasting, in his due time, upon the sole condition that they are willing and obedient to His righteous laws (John 3:16. In these times of confusions of doctrines how shall we know the true messengers from the false ones? The Lord places the responsibility upon us to study His word and learn of His character and plan. H desires us to look to Him as an example of the very highest type of Justice, Power, Love and Wisdom, and all teach- Continued on last page WILSON KEEPS IN CONSTANT TOUCH WITH THE WORLD.

Hammonds, supervisor of music for the Colored schools of this city, and who is one of the most accomplished sopranos in this part of the country. Miss Hammonds sang last week for the white Y. W. C.

Oscar Spencer President of the State Teachers Association and Principal of the Colored Sschools at Nowata The Colored State Teachers Association is scheduled to meet on the 26 of this month in Okmulgee, and already a deal of interest is being manifested by the profession all over the state. A very large attendance is expected by the officers of the association, and a very elaborate two day's program has been arranged for the occasion. Prof. J. Oscar Spencer, president of the association, has done everything possible to advance the interest of the organization, and his report and recommendations will be anticipated with much interest. The constitution of the association is thoroughly democratic in that it provides that no official can succeed himself in office. By reason of this fact each year there is much interest centered in the election of officers. Among the prominent men now being mentioned as likely candidates are Prof. J. W. Pettus of the Langston University, Prof. F. W. Bruner, Oklahoma City and Prof. D. W. Lewis, Chickasha. TULSA TO HAVE NEW COLORED HOSPITAL TULSA TO HAVE NEW COLORED HOSPITAL Dr. Chas. B.

Remember, friends that our columns are open for the use of those who feel like giving the public the benefits of your experience and knowledge. NO.53 TO LAND HERE TODAY Five big army airplanes are scheduled to arrive in Tulsa today on a cross-country trip, and a large crowd will greet them. Lieut. R. C. Brown, aviation instructor at Ft. Sill, who has a sister residing in Tulsa, will be in charge of the airplanes. It is presumed that he is with the flet which is supposed to be enroute to Kansas City, scouting out a route for the aero mail line. Tulsa has asked the post office department to make this city a station on the route. The machines will alight and park on the Mid-Continent Aeronautical Field about a mile east of the end of the Admiral jitney line. Captain Harold Breen will fly out to meet the approaching fleet and the aviators will be the guest of the city until some time in the afternoon when they will proceed to Kansas City. 255 miles distant. This distance will be covered at a rate of 75 to 100 miles per hour, depending on the wind. OKLAHOMA GIRL MAKING GOOD IN ST. LOUIS SCHOOL Miss Hazel B. McDaniel The above is the likeness of Miss Hazel B. McDaniel, one of Oklahoma's most accomplished young ladies who is filling the chair of English in the St. Louis high school. According to all reports received here from St. Louis Miss McDaniel is giving absolute satisfaction in her work there. Oklahoma is glad to hear of the success of one of her charming young ladies. ACCIDENT IN STAR OFFICE CAUSES DELAY OF PAPER The accidental "pieing" of one of our newspaper forms last night just before going to press caused a delay of the Star today. The office force worked all night last night to get the form ready again for the press 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 and around a newspaper office to test the religious proclivities of the editors and working force which at best are not any too strong. We trust the public embrace by our readers will overlook whatever shortcomings there may be in evidence in the general appearance of the paper this week. STAR GETS THE CONTRACT FOR PRINTING ODD FELLOWS MINUTES Mr. H. T. Hutton, a progressive merchant of Sapulpa, and efficient Grand Secretary of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, was in our office Saturday, and in connection with Grand Master Jefferson awarded the Tulsa Star the contract for printing the minutes of the Grand Lodge proceedings. But the are those who seem to think there were other important reasons for Mr. Hutton's visit to Tulsa.

FILMORE, Circulation Manager SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year, $1.50 Six Months, $1.00 $ . Three Months, .60 Entered as second class mail matter, Tulsa, Oklahoma. The war has ended, but our people should keep on economizing along all lines; above all others, the Colored Race should practice strict economy, and try to rid itself of some of the extravagant habits we have. Bear in mind that regardless to what you know there is always a chance to know more; then too, don't lose sight of the fact that there are others in the human family who knows a few things. The Colored parents who live low down, all kinds of a life before his child, may look for that child to come up with some of his characteristics; therefore set the proper example for your child. Let our men and women nurse their jobs, by all means strive to give jam-up satisfaction. Every Colored man should possess ess enough Race love to encourage something of his own. Let us rally to our own enterprises. THE CHRONIC KICKER never wields very much influence, and to be sure, they are always "shy" on this world's good.Be a booster. Just because the war is over is no reason why chronic loafing should be tolerated; the idle fellow is likely to raise hallelujah at most any old time. "Dad" Clark, an expert brick mason, who has been absent from the city for some time, returned Tuesday morning. This gentleman has many friends here. The Negro Race must turn out women; we need them powerfully bad and we must get busy along this particular line. We need more business enterprises among us. Regardless to the value we place on an individual, if he possesses real ability and is "delivering the goods" you must give it to him. As a race we must always be proud of each others success. Let every one of us do our bit towards pushing each other on to success. General Perishing has stated that he will keep a great many of the Colored soldiers with him. This great general has on all occasions dehonored his high regard for the Colored ored man as a soldier; in fact, from a boy up he has been a friend to the enterprises. Mrs. Cynhia Mosely, after an extended stay in New Mexico, California etc., returned to Tulsa recently. This lady is the wife of Shoemaker Mosely, proprietor of the Georgia Shoe Shop. The Kansas City Sun, Nelson Crews' excellent paper, in its last issue, touched the Colored churches in the following language: A local speaker is said to have made the assertion that "the churches are not overlooked the fact that they are getting into debt and that they are getting closer and closer to the vanities of the world. They are getting somewhere all right. A. B. PHONE THE STAR OFFICE when you have any information to give on local affairs or news of any kind. ABILITY knows no color. Therefore, let our people prepare themselves to do anything that may fall their lot to do just as good, or a little better than the other fellow. EVERY ABLE Colored man in the city, and other places too for that matter,—but particularly in Tulsa—should do his bit for the unfortunate people of our city, who will need the assistance of the Good Fellows this winter, and NOW would be a good time to start it. Suppose you call Mr. Weleh, Humane Agent, and give something to suffering humanity here at home. This good man recognizes no race, color or creed in giving out Christmas baskets for the poor, and it is our duty to do all we can to help swell the fund to be used for this purpose. Who will be first to start an "Empty Stocking" fund for the poor of Tulsa? A GREAT many of our Race are easily to become intoxicated on prosperity; and before you know it they are suffering with the "big head". LET us carry an Ad for You in the Star. It will help your business, STATE CONVENTION TO MEET IN TULSA DECEMBER 23 The state wide convention or mass meeting which was called to meet in this city November 27, but which was postponed indefinitely on account of the influenza, has been called to meet here December 23.

To one of the largest crowds that has ever greeted a lyeum number in Tulsa, Irvin S. Cobb told of his personal experience in the war zones, the depressing and at the same time the elevating sights have witnessed, and made a few conjectures relating to the moral responsibility and integrity of the Germans in general, with more pointed remarks about the once kaiser at the convention hall last night. Those who heard him declared that Cobb should never again refer to himself as an amatuer public speaker, for he kept his audience in an uproar one minute and in tears the next. A careful observer could frequently see a handkerechief withdrawn from muff or pocket and applied to dampened eyes occassioned by recitals of the heroism displayed By the Americans. Frames Colored Soldiers. The speaker did not fail to refer in glowing terms to the gallantry and bravery of the Colored division doing service under the colors in France, paying special tribute to the individual heroism displayed by Needham Roberts, who with his companion killed and put to flight a band of twenty four German soldiers who attempting to raid the American lines. These Colored men were first of the American forces to win the French cross for personal bravery.

NEWBY MAN COMMENDS THE TULSA STAR The following letter of commen- tation was received at this office last Saturday from a true race man at Newby, Oklahoma: Newby, Oklahoma, Nov. 26, 1918. Mr. A. J. Smitherman Dear Sir: Enclosed you will find $1.50 for which you will please send me the Star for one year. I know not what course others may take, but as for me and my house we will read the Star. I wish the Star was in every Colored home in this country. Not long ago I was talking to some of my friends about subscribing for the Star and they referred to you as a democrat. I told them that regardless to what kind of a "erat" you were, a man who would leave his home and go fifty miles to try to help save a Colored man from a mob was my man, and too, I referred them to an article that was in your paper a few days ago where you said the white papers never published anything we do except the crimes and evil things; therefore had the world looking at us inferior beings. They had to acknowledge the truth and, therefore, I had the floor. I believe I can put your paper in nearly every home in my community Ofcourse, there are persons out here who could perhaps do more good than I, but where people that are able to do, not seem to be interested some one have to something to keep the wheel a rolling. Newby is a large community full of intelligent people with two good schools and two bright race-loving teachers in the persons of Prof S, B. Senley and Mrs. Minnie Dickson. We have a large church with a membership of about two hundred with an able pastor who is able to fill the position in any body's pulpit in the person of Rev. Wm. Drake, Moderator of the Northwestern District Association. We also have here at Newby many prosperous farmers and a few land owners in the persons of Mr. H. Z. Wilson, Mr. J. C. Taylor, Mr. T. Y. Yarbrough, Mr. J. M. Maxey and Mr. J. M. Hammonds. We were entertained with a lecture Tuesday and a sermon Wednesday by Rev. Father W. S. J. Cholloughly elzlise and we can but say as the disciples in the days of old, "Did not our hearts burn within us as he talked with us by the way and while we opened to us the scriptures." For the past two months we have been burdened down with grief. The Spanish Influenza has passed through our community and death has claimed many of loved ones. However we who are left are trying to live better Christians, raise better children, have better homes and live better citizens. Mr. Smitherman, I have read your paper for the past year and I am well pleased with it. You have my prayers and sympathy. If you want me to work in this part of the country, I am at your service. I remain yours truly, JULIUS BELL Route 1, Box157, Newby, Okla. LANGSTON UNIVERSITY TO HAVE PAGE IN XMAS EDITION We are glad to say that, not only are the people of Tulsa enjoying reading The Star, the people throughout the state are sending in their orders for more Stars. The battles that are being fought by our Race here and elsewhere are certainly aided by the Star.

Those who know Dr. Johnson know how well the subject was treated and how greatly the pupils enjoyed the talk. On Thanksgiving morning, after a short program, Lawyer Saddler addressed the pupils in honor of the purchase of a new flag on "Patriotism and The Flag." The address was very instructive, giving the origin of the first flag and the reason for the love every boy and girl should have for the emblem of his or her home. We are always anxious for the parents to look upon the work. With a heartier cooperation between parents and teacher, better citizens are made of the pupils.

TEARS AND SCREAMS AT A. M. E. CHURCH LAST NIGHT Eloquence of Pastor Causes Great Commotion Among Members, Who Threw Hats, Pocket Books, And Other Missles at Him. The A. M. E. church was ablaze in the flames of the Holy Ghost last night while Rev, C. R. Tucker, pastor in charge, promulgated the word of God to a very much enthused membership. Rev. Tucker has never appeared more forceful in his arguments on the scriptures than he did in his sermon last night. As he approached the climax of his pulpit eloquence screams from women in various parts of the house rang out and in a few minutes a dozen or more feminine forms were up dancing and going through other peculiar motions which would make an atheletic professor open his eyes in astonishment. And they were not all young women, by any means. Some of them were aged, but they acted with the same agility common to the younger women. Several women became hysterical and gave vent to their feeling in the flow of tears, while others of a more emotional temperament threw their hats, gloves, bocket books etc., at the pastor as he literally beamed over with the enthusiasm of his inspiration. Following this wonderful sermon several were added to the membership of the church. ALL SPACE IN CHRISTMAS ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLD Advertisers Who Recognize Value of Space in Oklahoma's Greatest Colored Newspaper Buys Space Quickly. In less than a week from the time it was announced through the columns of this paper that we would publish a Christmas Edition this year, following our cannual custom, every inch of advertising space for sale in this issue had been sold and orders for more than 1,400 extra copies had been received, proving conclusively that the Star is in demand and that our advertisers have been pleased with results obtained through this medium. The Star is highly gratified with this signal recognition of its merits as an advertising medium and of the good will and confidence reposed in it by our readers generally, as is evidenced by their eagerness to buy extra copies to send to their friends and relatives in various parts of the country. We desire now to commend to our readers those merchants and business men who have seen fit to patronize this paper. We believe every one of them deserves your support. In fact we know they do, because they are all home enterprises, helping to make Tulsa the greatest city in the world. Every dollar you put in the hands of Tulsa merchants, in one way or another, comes back to you and at the same time help to build and strengthen home industries. On the other hand, the money you spend with foreign enterprises, through the mail order system, adds nothing to your home townand takes away much from your own possibilities. For this reason, if for no other, every Tulsa should heartily support home enterprises. Remember, we can not do any too much for our home town. Let us at least do our bit. "Let's go."

PRINTING IS AN ART We Are Artistic Printers...We are not Apprentices, we have had years of experience in this work and can certainly please you. The Tulsa Star's Job Office is prepared to do First Class job work of all kinds. Patronize us, your friend is Be Honest to Yourself and Decide ...From the Evidence as to Who... Character and Plan. Continued from first page ings or interpretation of scripture, from the Judgement Day (1 Peter 1:22 and 1 Peter 2:9, Room 8:281-80); and that God has appointed a day in which to judge the world in right eousness and the Judges will be Christ and His Elects, the Saints Acts 17:31, John 5:22, 1 Cor. 6:2. The Judgement day will be a 1000 years 2 Peter 3:5-8); (8) that during the Millennium of Judgement day the whole world shall become as the Garden of Eden, filled with healthy and happy people. Iss. 35:1-6, 33:6, 65:21-24); (9) that all the willfully disobedient will be disgraced in that day in the second death—a death from which there will be no resurrection (Rev. 21:8); that the greatest penalty God has prescribed for willful sin is death everlasting, and that the dead knows nothing Found; which does not hold out to the world hope of life everlasting and represent Jehovah as having more Justice more Power, more Love and more Wisdom than the very best of fallen humanity is spurious and false doctrine. In order to properly decide who is presenting the TRUTH concerning God's Great Plan, let us sit as a juror and hear the evidence floor the three greatest of modern times, namely: Catholicism, Protestantism and Russellism. Let us hear from the witnesses in the order named; Catholite claim (1) that the priest has power to create Christ out of bread and wine and sacrifice Him for sinners; (2) that the humna soul is immortal and can never die; (3) that very few saintly persons go to heaven at death; (4) that all who have wilfully opposed the Catholic faith and died are now enduring a hell of torture which will never end; (5) that the great mass of humanity, including the most of their own members and heathens, go to Purgatory to spend centuries or decades of suffering before deliverance to heaven; (6) that those who have money or other property should give liberally to the priest in order that their own and their friend's days in Purgatory may be shortened; (7) that Papal jubilee the pope exercise a power, which he has, to set free from Purgatory certain thousands of its inmates; (8) that soon the whole world will be under control of the pope as God's representative. Let us now hear what the Protestants have to say concerning God Plan. They teach (1) that the soul is immortal and can never die; (2) that there are but two places, Heaven and Hell, and that the few saintly ones go straight to Heaven at death and all the wicked go to a Hell of fire and brimstone to burn forever; (3) that the resurrection of the dead is only for the purpose of heauling further damnation upon the condemned; (4) that all who desire to be saved must join the church during this Gospel Age and be faithful to its rules or do otherwise and go to hell to burn forever; (5) that the keeping up of church dues, payment of fat salaries to the parsons, and the building of fine church houses are very important parts of God's Plan; so much so that any failure by the people to keep the dimes and dollars rolling into the church is a signal to the parsons to cease work. We will now listen to the last wif Russell. (1) He teaches that there is a Supreme intelligent Creator of all things and that man was created perfect in the image of God (Gen. 1:26 and 27); (2) that man wilfully and intelligently disobeyed God, thereby forfeting his right to life everlasting (1 Tim. 2:14, and Gen. 2:16-17; (3) that God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whosoever would repent and believe on Him would be awarded life everlasting (John 3:16); and that God gave himself a ransom, a corresponding price, for all (1 Tim. 2:5and 6), and by His death a new trial for life was gained for Adam and his race 1 Cor. 15:22) (4) that the Hebrew word "Sheol" and the Greek word "Hades" and the English word "Hell" mean one and hite same thing—an oblivion; a state or condition of non-existence, and does not mean a place burning with fire and brimstone; (5) that both good and bad go to hell, the grave, at death and all the prophets and even Christ went to hell, the grave Acts 2:27 and Psa. 16:10; (6) that Christ holds the keys to Hell and the grave (Hev, 1:19), and that the time is coming when all that are in their graves shall hear His voice and come forth (John 5:28-29); (7) that during the Gospel Age God has only been dealing with the Church, the Little Flock, the Elects, the ones to be Priests and Kings during the Mille- 28, Ezekiel 18:4, Eccl. 9:5-10). In connection with the few facts above mentioned, Pastor Russell has announced to the world more than 40 years ago that the Gentiles had a lease of power on the world for 25,200 years beginning 600 B. C., and ending 1914. A. D., at which time, according to prophecy, there would begin a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation. I leave to the world to answer as to whether a time of trouble broke loose upon the world in 1914. He has further stated fully how this trouble will end and what the condition of the world will be at its close. I beg to say, dear friends, if you desire to get't peep into what the world's program is from God's stand point, you do yourself the greatest injustice to fail to get and read carefully the "Studies in The Scriptures" edited by Pastor Russell. When you shall have read these books carefully, along with your bible, you will be fully convinced that the greater part of the world's trouble is yet to come. In the beginning of his ministry; Pastor Russell gave his fortune of 8300,000 to aid the humble hearted in seeking the TRUTH and during the whole period of more than 40 years in the service of God he never asked for nor collected one penny from his congregation; neither would he approve of such doings by any associated with him in his work. He died in the service of the Lord penniless October 31, 1916. There is no paid ministry in Russellism. The one aim of Pastor Russell was to give the world the TRUTH and lighten the hearts of all who hungered and thirst after righteousness. In conclusion, I wish to say that you have before you the principal evidence from the three greatest witnesses of modern times concerning the Plan of God. I now leave it with you to decide which of the three present the TRUTH concerning His GREAT AND NOBLE CHARACTER AND PLAN. RICHARD J. HILL Phone 7370 M. B. Mr. H. T.
