"Hell-Fire Doctrine" Debate on! A Fearless Exponent of. Right and justice. An Uncompromising Defender of the Colored Race. We fear only to do wrong. "Hell- Many Out of Town Visitors Expected SENSATIONAL DEBATE ON TORMENT IN- TERESTS EVERYBODY Sermons of Star's Religious Contributor Attracts Attention All Over the Country. It goes without saying almost that the debate to be held on the evening of the 18th at Convention Hall on the subject "Torment" between Mr. Richard J. Hill, the well known Tulsa attorney and "Black Billy Sunday," of Waco, Texas, eclipses all other events ever taking place in the city of Tulsa. It is not only being talked and whispered about in numerous homes and public places in Tulsa, but it is discussed in all cities of Oklahoma reached by The Star. Not alone that a number of leading Colored newspapers in different parts of the country have taken the matter up. Another thing which will tend to increase and widen local interest in this debate is the fact that Mr. Hill has found it necessary to issue a public notice, appearing elsewhere in these columns, wherein he states that he has been informed "that a few pastors of the local churches have busied themselves in warning their members to stay away from the lectures being given at 618 East Archer street, by International Bible Students every first and third Sunday in each month." Of course these attacks, if true, as alleged by Mr. Hill, serve to advertise these lectures which are being afforded the people of Tulsa for religious instruction at the personal expense of Mr. Hill himself. That is how far his firm belief he has "the light and truth" and his enthusiasm carry him. In this notice Mr. Hill commends other local preachers who are not attempting to interfere with his evangelistic propaganda, and closes by warning those who heed the advice of their pastors, that said pastors know if they "come into light, down goes his (the preacher's) pork-chops." The discussion of Mr. Hill's doctrines in the pulpits of the city can only serve to increase public interest in the coming debate, and as it is to be free there can be no valid reason for any one seeking information on both sides of the question "Is there a Hell of Fire and Brimstone?" to remain away. A Hell Roaring Time. The widespread interest throughout the State, indicates one of the largest and most representative gatherings ever brought to Tulsa will greet the contestants in the forensic clash next Friday evening, June 18, when Attorney Richard J. Hill, and the world famed Evangelist, "Black Billy Sunday" will clash in one of the greatest Bible discussions ever witnessed in the country. The Convention Hall, which is the largest auditorium in the city, has been secured for this battle of giants. No other event in the history of Tulsa has created such wide-spread discussion among all classes, regardless of race or color or denominational affiliation as this unusual debate on the Doctrine of "Eternal Torment." "Is there a Hell of Real Brimstone and Fire?" That is the biggest question that has ever been argued in the Religious World. Attorney Richard J. Hill, in a series of published articles, that have regularly appeared in the columns of the "STAR" has attacked this doctrine of Hell, Fire and Brimstone as a relic of the Dark Ages, that should be discarded in this age of enlightenment. His opponent, Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, or "Black Billy Sunday" as he is widely known through the length and breadth of the country, will handle the affirmative side, and declares that no amount of Worldly Wisdom or enlightenment can blot out the enternal fires of Hell, or change the plans of Divine Justice. The in- THE TULSA STAR THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMAN The noted Evangelist who has accepted the challenge of Richard J.

There will be no admission fee, but a Silver offering will be taken at the door to cover the heavy expense of hall rent and publicity. doors will be opened at 7:30 o'clock Friday evening, June 18, at the Convention Hall. The debate will be preceded by an old time Gospel and Jubilee song service, every one is urged to come early to secure seats. The doctrines promulgated so bravely and boldly by Mr. Hill in the columns of The Tulsa Star have attracted comment in the East, and this is shown by the following clipping, headlines and all taken from the last issue of the Baltimore, Md. After Association. May it be said to the credit of Attorney Hill, that he is a highly respected resident of Tulsa, and has a large following in both races among those who are liberal in their religious views. It can be safely predicted that his many adherents will be on the job to root for their champion. On the other hand, "Black Billy Sunday has the unique distinction of having addressed the largest mixed gatherings in the country and millions in all parts of the South. Millions have been thrilled by his burning eloquence and fiery oratory. He is a champion of the Old Time Gospel and an uncompromising defender of the doctrine of "Hell, Fire and Brimstone." He is a forceful speaker and one of the most convincing debaters in the country and this of itself means that there is going to be a Hell roaring time when these exponents of Liberal and Orthodox Religious schools, give their interpretation of the Bible. This debate will furnish thought for thousands of Religious workers and Bible students, and will be worth going many miles to hear, as there will be a rush for seats.

The doctrines promulgated so bravely and boldly by Mr. Hill in the columns of The Tulsa Star have attracted comment in the East, and this is shown by the following clipping, headlines and all, taken from the last issue of the Baltimore, Md., Afro-American: "There Is No Such Place As Hell Oklahoma Minister Condmens Preachers of Eternal Punishment. Hell and Grave One. Lake of Fire and Brimstone Said take, Figurative—Only. One man has been found who does not believe in Hell. He is the Rev. Richard J. Hill and he is a prominent minister of Tulsa. Not only does Rev. Hill believe that the idea of hell is contrary to God's character, but he comes out in a sermon which he condemns other ministers for preaching eternal punishment. Rev. Hill says "every intelligent minister knows or should know that the greatest punishment that God has provided for every wilful sinner is death everlasting from which there will be no resurrection. They also know that hell and the grave mean one and the same thing, such oblivion, a state of non existence." The lake of fire and brimstone mentioned in the scripture was said to be symbolic only of the garbage furnace located outside of the city of Jerusalem in the Valley of Hinnon According to Rev. Hill, the hellfire doctrine woefully misrepresents the Scripture and he challenges any man in any city or state to a public debate on the question. Rev. Hill said the word Hell, occurred thirty-one times in the Old Testament. The Hebrew word is "Shecol" and the English meaning is "grave," 'Hell occurs twelve times in the New Testament. The Hebrew word there is 'Giehenna,' and the reference is to the swamp outside Jerusalem, where the city people burn their garbage." A. F. L. Wipes Out "Jim Crow Line" A. F. L. Wipes Out "Jim Crow Line" Stormy Session Sees Race Fight When Negroes Get Equal Rights. ACTION UNPARALLELED For First Time In History Black Freight Handlers Given Equal Privileges. (Special to Tulsa Star) MONTREAL, Canada, June 10—The American Federation of Labor ir its annual convention today wiped out the "color line" and warned affiliated international unions that Negro workers must be given full and equal membership with white men. The federation's action at the end of a stormy session, nearly resulted in a "race war" between delegates from Southern States and the Negroes and their sympathizers. Rejecting the recommendation of its organization committee, the federation, for the first time in history, threatened the autonomy of an affiliated union by requesting the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks to give the Negro freight handlers, express and station employees full membership and eliminate from its constitution the words "white only." The committee's report of "no-concurrence" on the ground that the federation had no power to interfere with the constitution of an affiliated union, immediately drew the first of Negro delegates and those of several Northern States. There was a voluminous exchange of oratory in which the Negroes, charged "taxation without representation" and discrimination" to which their opponents replied with accusations and betrayal of Negro workers of the whites in past labor disputes. Indignation of the Negro delegates was aroused several times when speakers referred to them as "nigger" freight handlers and their objection to such remarks was sustained by the acting chairman, Jas Durcan. They charged that the use of the word "nigger" was a slandler to the race. Many Graduate At Tuskegee FUSKEGEE, Ala., June 8. Diplomas were awarded to 129 graduates of Tuskegee Institute, Wednesday.

ATTORNEY GENERAL'S RULING BENEFITS COLORED SCHOOLS Excise Boards Have Hi-Jacked Negro Schools Out of 9-Mill Levy Since 1907. (Star News Service) OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., June 8. Additional revenue for separate schools for Negroes in Oklahoma will be available in accordance with an opinion written today by R. E. Wood, assistant attorney general, at the request of R. H. Wilson, state school superintendent. Mr. Wood ruled that county excuse boards may make a sufficient levy to maintain separate Negro schools on their estimates provided estimates do not exceed the 10-mill constitutional limit for county purposes. In the past, it has been the belief that no more than a 1-mill levy could be made for Negro schools. POLITICS: A GAME OF SEE-SAW Lincoln Johnson Boosted One Day; Attempt Made to Dump Him the Next. (Star News Service) CHICAGO, Ill., June 10.—The Georgia delegation decided today to hold a second caucus to consider a move to unseat Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Atlanta Negro who was elected national committeeman. The credentials committee in passing on the Georgia contest last night, unseated a Johnson delegate and plans were then formed to call the delegation together with a view of unseating Johnson.

WOOD LEADS BUT JOHNSON HOLDS BALANCE OF POWER Convention Reconvenes Today For Final Big Three Sided Fight CHICAGO, June 11.—Four ballots in the republican national convention today failed to unite the necessary majority on a nominee. It was the first time since 1888 that more than three ballots found the party without a choice and the seventh time since the nomination of Lincoln that more than one ballot has been required. Wood and Lowden were at their high water mark when the convention, after the fourth ballot, adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Johnson had received on the four 7 1-2 votes less than he received on the third. The contest then stood: Wood 134 1-2; Lowden 289; Johnson 140 1-2; Hoover 5; Harding 61 1-2; Sproul 79 1-2; Coolidge 25; Butler 20; Knox 2; Poindexter 15; Southernland 3; Borah 1; Dupont 2; LaFollette 22; Watson 4. Wood's net gain after the first ballot was 27 votes. Lowden's was 77 and Johnson's was 17. Thus the big three made accessions to their forces during the four ballots. Three Cornered Fight At the adjournment hour it still remained a three-cornered fight between Wood, Lowden and Johnson for the remaining 12 contestants held only 240 scattering votes among them and most of them had been losing steadily since the first ballot, some one of the big three making accessions at their expense. Johnson Holds Balance. With these scattering votes Hiram Johnson still was holding the balance of power, his 140 1-2 votes alone even if cast for either Wood or Lowden would not be sufficient to nominate either, and there was not the slightest indication of Johnson delegates deserting their nominee. GEORGIA DELEGATION HONORS HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON This Able Negro Leader Is Chosen National Committeeman. Cohen Also Prominent. CHICAGO, Ill., June 8.—Henry Lincoln Johnson, the well known and able Republican leader in Ga., has been chosen to represent Georgia as member of the Republican National Committee. Johnson won considerable notice for himself during the preliminary sessions of the National Committee last week on account of his strenuous opposition to Lowden delegates. It is generally conceded that Johnson is admirably equipped to fill his new job. Walter L. Cohen, the New Orleans delegate, was selected as member of the Committee on Permanent Organization. Never Heard From Their Rating. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 10.—Woodworth Johnson and Richard Jackson, two young Colored men, who under direction of Congressman L. C. Dyer, had taken the examination for entrance at West Point, have never received word concerning their rating. Johnson was last week appointed railway mail clerk on St. Louis-Kansas City run.

The many friends of Mrs. Bertha Russell who has been under treatment of specialists at Kansas City, will be glad to know that she has so far recovered from the operation which she had to undergo, that she was able to return here Thursday. Mr. Samuel D. Hooker, manager of the Elliott and Hooker Clothing Store of Tulsa, made a flying visit to Muskogee on important business last Sunday, returning Monday morning.

The romantic courtship lasting about eight months of two former Texans, but more recently residents of Tulsa, was ended by the marriage of the parties last Sunday afternoon at 5 p. m. by the Rev, J. H. Abernathy, pastor of the First Baptist Church. The contracting parties to this marriage ceremony were Mr. F. L. Oliver, 30, formerly of Paris, Texas, but for past 11 years a resident of Tulsa, and the other, Miss Estelle Gilmore, 18 formerly of Texarkana, Texas, but living in Tulsa for the past eight months. The happy bride's brother Frank Gilmore, reached here just in time to witness the ceremony. The newly weds are being congratulated by numerous friends who wish them a long and happy voyage on the sea of matrimony. Five Converts Baptized. The Mt. Zion Baptist Church was the scene on Wednesday evening last of a baptism of five converts of the First Baptist Church of which the Rev. J. H. Abernathy is the pastor. The ceremony was conducted by the Rev. Abernathy in the presence of quite a large congregation of interested Tulsans. Those baptized were Dr. V. E. Poster, well known chiriopodist, Mrs. Cotton of North Greenwood street and Lloyd Smith, Floyd Williams, and V. Poster. The Rev. Abernathy reports quite a revival of interest in spiritual and religious affairs and that he proposes to take advantage of it to gain sinners to Christ and members to his church. This Meteor Fell Ewerywhere. Who saw the Meteor last Tuesday night and where did it fall are two questions agitated by nearly every body in Tulsa last Wednesday morning. It must be said in answer that nearly every one saw it and every one has an idea as to where it fell. A well known doctor who was returning from Red Bird and got off a Katy train in the veardes is convinced in his mind that it fell in rear of Attorney Grees' office on Archer street. Quite a number of others told the reporter that they saw it hit the ground near the Second Baptist Church. The papers tell of a party seeing the same meteor fall near Okumugge, and some one else saw it fall near Ardmore. So it must be presumed that the thing either struck nowhere or everywhere at the same time. Now which? Lark Mills Recovers From Wound. Lark Mills certainly had a close call for his life and is being congratulated by his numerous friends over his recovery from the very severe wounds he suffered when an attempt last winter was made to kill him. Lark's intestines were perforated twenty places and physicians practically gave him up as beyond recovery. Lark is glad he puted through and his experience will serve as a valuable lesson to him and his friends. Gone For Summer Vacation. Mr. J. B. Stradford, proprietor of the well known Stradford Hotel accompanied by his wife, is in Chicago taking in the incidents and excitements of the great National Republican Convention. Mr. and Mrs. Stradford will continue their stay for some time in the North and East before returning to their home in Tulsa. Meanwhile, the management of the hotel has developed upon the shoulders of their son, P. T Stradford, who has had considerable experience in that line. Colored Republican Leaders Taking In Chicago Amid the swirling throngs of humanity on State street, Chicago, IL, showing and pushing their way in the mass around the Coliseum where the National Convention of the Republican Party is being staged, have been for the past several days and will be for the next, quite a bunch of well known Tulsa Colored republican leaders and politicians. They are taking in scenes which will be long remembered and which they will talk over and over again with their friends for many a day after their return to Tulsa Tineir presence in Chicago will enable Tulsans to have opportunity to shake the hands which shook the hand of the President of the United States, as it can be depended upon that the Tulsa representatives will call on the various headquarters and thus meet the one who will in the end of the balloting he declared the nominee of the party, with strong chances of being elected in November. Among those taking part in the convention are Captain Jackson, J. B. Stradford, J. H. Goodwin and Attorney H. A. Guess. Celebration Postponed. Mr. E. Solomon, manager of the Emancipation Celebration which was to have been given June 19th at Sand Springs Park under the auspices of the First Baptist Church, announces that he had to change from 19th to the 21st for the event because others had the park on the day he wished to secure the park. Mr. Solomon says nothing will be left undone to make things pleasant for all who attend the celebration. Stewart and Corbett Form Partner ship. One of the most portentious events in legal circles of the state which has occurred for some time is the recent partnership formed between the Hon. R. Emmett Stewart, the talented and efficient lawyer of Muskogee and the Hon. C. F. Corbett, the able and eloquent young attorney, formerly of Wewoka, but recently of Tulsa. The former as associate of Attorney Stewart was the talented Blackstonian advocate, the Hon. G. W, P. Brown of Muskogee, who has gone to Chicago to live and follow his profession. The business accumulated in such degree upon Mr. Stewart that it became necessary to take in a partner, and Mr. Corbett was the one selected. It is quite likely that this firm handles more cases in the higher courts than any other Colored firm in Oklahoma, and possibly the entire West. Auto Tour From Tulsa To Les Angeles, California. The handsome new car, the Romer, purchased last Saturday by our well known citizen, Mr. Robert Watson, is to be utilized by him to carry himself and party of relatives on the long tour through the West from Tulsa to Los Angeles, Ca.

Walker, Tulsa TULISA IS 90,000 New Issue of City Directory Is Just Off the Press. IS BELIEVED RELIABLE C. of C. Officials Says Directory Workers Always Obtain Names. If figures contained in the twelfth city directory of Tulsa by the Polk-Holtthite directory company, can be relied upon, this city's population is in excess of 90,000. The new directory is just off the press. It contains 39,062 names, which multiplied by the customary two and one-half, which includes the names of those not included in the directory, makes a total of 96,665. The directory also contains a list of Sand Springs residents, which approximates 6,000 names. Subtracting this from the total, there remains more than 90,000 names. Clarence B. Douglass, managing director, believes the directory figures more reliable than those of the federal census, which, it is reported, gives Tulsa a population of about 72,000. "Every 10 years the government employs a corps of inexperienced persons who receive 4 cents for each name obtained. If they miss persons on their trips to various parts of the city, it is hardly worth while for them financially to pay street car fare to return and obtain those names. "The directory people employ skilled enumerators, who will return 20 times if necessary to find persons at home. They get the names—and then they list them alphabetically." An announcement of the directory figures will be made at the chamber of commerce directors' luncheon at noon today. J.

NOTICE TO THE-PUBLIC I have been informed that a few Pastors of the local churches have busied themselves warning their members to stay away from lectures being given at 618 East Archer, by International Bible Students every First and Third Sunday of each month. I am glad to note that most of the preachers are rather broad-minded and are beginning to recognize that the International Bible Students have the truth. But I am sorry to say that there are a few igncrant, pin-headed fellows posing as ministers who are bitter enemies to Light or Truth, and whose only object is to keep the poor people in darkness and squeeze $e$ all the money out of them they can and make a big show to the world. Listen, dear people of the public, you can put it down that any preacher who warns you to stay away from the International Bible Students' is ose who wants to keep you in darkness. He (that pin-headed preacher) knows that we have the light and he also knows that if you come into the light, down goes his (the preachers) pork-chops. Remember the place, 618 East Archer street, Masonic Hall, 3:00 P.M. sharp every first and third Sunday of each month during the summer, fall and winter. Watch this notice weekly for subject of lecture and any possible change of date. Subject for June 6, "THE JUDGMENT DAY—WHEN AND HOW." Friends come and hear for yourself the only consoling message during these times of great perplexity It costs you nothing but your time Seats are free and no collections RICHARD L. HILL Long before God said "Let there be light!" and long before man was created, God had a well fixed plan of procedure, concerning the Salvation of the human race. Just as any intelligent business man does before beginning the construction of any great building, he makes out a blueprint plan of procedure, just so with Jehovah God. His plans were all out-lined before the foundation of the world. I think all will agree with me when I say that if anyone would work on a building, planned by the owner, such work would have to be strickly in harmony with the plans and specifications; and all work not in harmony with those plans would be condemned as against the wishes of the owner. Right here I wish to remind you dear friends, that every person who claims to be a christian and attempts to explain the Bible to others is posing as one of God's workmen upon his great plan of Salvation. Preachers be warned. Do you understand the Great Architect's plan? Are you working strickly in harmony with the blue-print plan, (The Bible) of the ages? You had better begin at once to examine your work before the day of inspection (Judgment) comes. There is generally just one plan of procedure for the same building and not two, three or a dozen or more plans for it. So it is with Jehovah God, the architect of the Universe. He has one Great Plan for the salvation of humanity. I beg of you dear friends to call to your minds the unsightly spectacle of hundreds of would-be mechanics standing around the foundation of a great building disputing among themselves as to what the plan of the building is. You can readily understand that the only sensible thing for them all to do 528 S. 2nd. St., Chickasha, Okla. sensible thin --- LODGE DIRECTORY Sand Springs Lodge No. 192, A. F. & A.

But the facts are that most of the ministers have been so very busy trying to carry out their own selfish plans that they know little or nothing as to what God planned to do before he said "Let there be light." God knew man would sin before he made him and he could have created man without the ability to commit sin, but he, God, had no idea of creating man, a mere intelligent machine. God then, and long before man was created, had countless numbers of creatures and agents that could not do other than his will. But God had long designed that man should be of such nature that he would love and obey him, (God) from an intelligent appreciation of the fact that to do so (chey God) brings to him, man, the greatest degree of happiness and to do otherwise brings dissapointment, pain and death. Therefore, we can readily see the necessity and philosophy of his creating man with a will of his own and permitting him to learn valuable lessons from the exercise of same. God knowing in advance, that man would become a victim of sin, his great love and wisdom arranged in advance that he (Man) be rescued down the stream of time after having a long trip of more than six thousand years upon the angry billows of wars, blood sheds, sickness, sorrow, pain and death. In due time God sent his only son to arrange (through death) for a new trial for Adam and his posterity. When Christ said upon the cross, "It is finished," he meant that a new trial for life everlasting was secured for the human race, now, after this new trial was secured, a day was set in which Adam and his whole race would be brought before the Judgment bar of God and given a most favorable trial for life everlasting on the human plane—the same kind of life Adam had before he sinned. All those in that day, after having had such experience with sin and death and after seeing the love and power of God manifested in the resurrection of the Dead, and who will not hear and obey that priest and king will die the second death—a death from which there will be no resurrection for the reason that Christ will die no more for sinners. The most blessed thing about this Judgment Day is that the one who loved us well enough to lay down his life for us will be the judge. This Judgment Day is also spoken of as the Millennium. Let no one for a moment think this a twenty-four-day; it is a thousand year day. The period between the time when Jesus by his death secured a new trial for man and the time for that new trial is called, the Gospel age or the period of God's selection. During this time God has been selecting a little flock from every nation, denomination kindred and tongue to be with his son as close to him as a bride to assist in judging the world in right cousness. Just now this country is deeply concerned about an election. The theory of an election is that good men of character will be elected from among the people to represent, help, and bless all the people with a wise, just and equitable administration. An election has never meant that all who are not elected to office will have to spend the rest of their days in the penitentiary. SERMON GALLEY TWO From, Penticost to the second coming of Christ—the end of the Gospel age is the period in which God has been selecting the officers to rule in his kingdom soon to be established in all the earth and it PAGE THREE does not mean that all who are not elected must spend eternity in everlasting punishment. Unfortunately, the majority of the preachers have been and are yet maintaining this unscriptorial theory—that all must be elected to go to Heaven during this Gospel age or spend eternity in a Lake of Fire and Brimstone. They have attempted to apply the scriptural rules governing the election of the little flock to the world of mankind in general, hence, we note the muddle and great misunderstanding. You can not make the Bible statements fit in God's great plan unless you place them where they belong. During this Gospel Age the Lord has not been dealing with any one but those who have entered the race for the Great prize. He is only dealing with those who have agreed to walk in the narrow path of suffering with the Lord in order that they may be selected to reign with him when his kingdom is set up. Order, is Heaven's first law, and Jehovah God has o'er in his dealings with fallen humanity. He has not been dealing permissibly with the whole human family. During the Patriarchal age he only dealt with the Patriarchs, Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. During the Jewish age he only dealt with the Jews and during the Gospel Age, he is and has only been dealing with the electors—the little flock, the ones running for the great prize of life immortal on the devine plan. In other words he is only dealing with those who are aspiring to be judges of the world in righteousness when the kingdom is set up. The Bride of Christ, the little flock, has almost made herself ready and soon will be united in Heavenly wedlock to her Bridegroom and Lord. After which the Great Judgment or human restitution will begin. Then the whole race of mankind, including Father Adam, will have a chance to gain life everlasting on the human plane. It is after the marriage of the land, which is in the near future, when God will begin with the whole world of mankind. He has a day set, the Judgment or Millenium Day wherein he will judge the whole world in righteousness. Someone may say, "well I do not see anything so very great in everlasting life on the human plane," but friends stop and think for a moment. Man will be perfect physically, mentally and morally. There will be no sickness, sorrow, pain, death, or any such thing to molest and disturb. The Devil will be chained and finally destroyed. Every individual will be a King. The whole earth will be as the garden of Eden. If you would get some idea as to what a perfect individual will be, call to mind all the physical beauty there is in the whole world, all the knowledge of science, art, oratory, music and what not and combine all these qualities in one individual and as great as this might seem to us we must remember that such qualities represented in such an individual would only be a feeble remnant of the qualities of a perfect man which qualities have been in process of deterioration for more than six thousand years. Friends I would not have you misunderstand me. The Church's hepes are not life everlasting on the human plane, but life immortal on the Divine plane—the same kind of life on the same plane as Jehovah God far above angels, principalities and powers. This immortal life on the same plane with Jehovah God is the Great Prize for which the little flock is running during this Gospel Age. Man has not been satisfied to work according to God's plan. God did not plan the conversion of the world during the Gospel Age. His time for converting the world is after the Gospel Age, or period of election, is ended. The electing and qualifying of the little flock during this age is preparatory and for the very purpose of converting the world to Godliness. Under the blinding influence of Satan, the majority of the preachers have been acting upon the theory that God was trying to convert the world during the Gospel Age. They have busied themselves warning the people to join the church pay their dues and go straight to Heaven when they die, or do otherwise and go to Hell to burn forever. They have been all along impressing the poor people that the building of expensive church houses and paying fat salaries to the parson are very necessary works to be done in order to keep their names upon the Lumb's Book of Life. Every reasonable minded and earnest hearted person can now see that God did not plan the conversion of the world during this Gospel Age for the reason that aside from the plain Bible SERMON GALLEY THRE statement to the effect that the conversion of the world is to begin at the close of the Gospel Age, there is more sin and sinners in the world today than were when the Gospel Age began. I am sure all earnest hearted persons will agree with me when I say that all work done in the name of God is not strictly in accord with his plan will be condemned and (Continued on Page 4).

Mr, Elliott, who had but recently returned from Langston, where he had attended the closing exercises, expressed the opinion that he had seen with his own eyes the work accomplished at the Uni- versity and for that reason he had no hesitaney in commending the in- stitution in the highest terms, He urged all of his hearers to encour- age in every way possible and to stend by Langston as it was deserv- ing of the unanimous support of all the Colored people of Oklahoma, A BRIEF SKETCH OF THE DIVINE PLAN (Continued from Page 3). dashed to pieces in the day of In- speetion or Judgment In conclusion, 1 beg to suggest that the progress of God’s great plan which no man ean hinder, can pro- perly be likened to a great buildiag while in progress of construction appears to be everything else but Devutifuls but when it is finished, aul the rough scaffoldings are torn ‘down it is seen or can be seen in its ‘beauty and grandeur.

They are conscious of their growth and have a pride in their race, They look with interest upon the devel optaent of the spirit of civie self corsciousness of the American Ne gee and are tremendously interest- ed in any movements among the Gol- cored people of the United States which they can adopt for their own proper development. In the same way they feel that a closer spirit of co-operation ean be worked out for the mutual advancement of the same race in the two countries and they feel that this must take the form of concrete co-operation ex- pressed by means of. a congress or a teeting of minds of the leaders of the race in both the United States and in Haiti, ‘The Haitian people would be happy to have men of their own race, business men, take advantage of the splendid oppor- tuvities for eapital and labor now being gobbled up by others."

(Star News Service) MUSKOGEE, Okla., June 8.—"Senator Hiram Johnson will be the first occupant from the far off golden west, to fill the presidential chair." That is the prediction of Rev. J. Gordon McPherson, the "Black Billy," who is conducting a revival is Muskogee. "In the past, the relationship of the late Col. Roowevelt and Senator Johnson has been much the same as that of Moses and Joshua. When Moses laid down his leadership in death, the Jordan lay between the wiluerness and the promised land. The mantle of leadership fell on Joshua, the son of Nun, to lead the Israelites across the Jordan as into the promised land. "So the fighting senator from the west has become the successor to America's foremost exponent of the principles of red blooded Americanism against internationalism and like Joshua of old, Senator Johnson will lead the natios in the battles for Americanism across their Jordan, into the promised land after eight years of wandering in the wildersess of unrest and discontent, to the most peaceful and prosperous era is the history of our government.

(Star News Service) MUSKOGEE, Okla., June 8.—The "State Grand Lodge of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten," through its agent, Sylvia Washington, "daily elected, qualified and acting Vice Worthy Princess of Pure Love Lodge No. 35 of Muskogee," is trying to "hold out" on Dr. J. E. Hart the amount of his wife's insurance policy. This is the charge made in a suit to recover the insurance brought yesterday in the superior court by Dr Hart. The Vice Worthy Princess took the policy, telling him the Lodge must have it before paying the insurance, he says, and since he no longer has possession of it he doesn't know the amount of the insurance. It's between $75 and $225 he says he believes. His wife, Jerutha Hart, was a member in good standing of Pure Love Lodge No. 35 at the time of her death, Dr. Hart alleges and there is no reason why the insurance should not be paid.

(Star News Service) CHICAGO, Ill., June 7—"Lily Whitism" has made its official pre-convention bow in Chicago and the city is standing politically aghast at the spectacle. Old timers call it a "sorry sight"; others more temperate in speech declare it "an impudent assumption of political authority" that cannot but give a freshened impetus to whatever temper of radicalism has, undoubtedly, began to show its fangs among the younger elements of the Negro vote." No one here has been able to put his hand on the fuller significance of this latter declaration. One thing is certain, however—dissatisfaction is being openly expressed by Colored men who heretofore have been willing to swallow anything that was rammed down their political throats if it bore the stamp "Republican."

Your Horoscope LEARN WHAT the stars and planets say about your future. If you expect to make any changes during the year, by all means have an Astrologer point out the days and dates when the planets are favorable for your interests. These are critical times and you need counsel and advice as never before. If you have made errors in the past see that you do not make them in the future. There is no disputing the fact that the Astrologer can point out with remarkable accuracy and forlell coming events which are beyond the power of the average mind to foresee. Surely you are interested in yourself and want to know more about your future. We send you a lengthy Astrological Reading covering the entire year; one that you can consult today and prepare for what is coming tomorrow. As long as your star of Destiny is favoring you, your affairs will run smooth and prosper, but when the planets are in evil aspect everything goes wrong, you then say you are having "bad" luck. Surely this has come to your notice. From the Astrologer's view the year 1920 will be the most eventful year in the world's history. Many a fortune will be made and lost. Therefore, when you have an important matter to decide, and are at a loss as to what is best to be done, it is only necessary to consult your annual forecast, which fully covers Business Matters, Change of Location, Speculation, Travel, Love Courtship, Marriage, Health, Accidents, Lucky days, etc., in details for the entire year.

THE DEMOCRATS of Tulsa County will elect a full ticket this fall in spite of the enthusiasm of the Republicans. THE G. O. P. CONVENTION is proving a whirlwind of excitement and the delegates are still looking for the highest bidder. THE CHURCH MEMBER who sees no good in any church but his, and thinks all other denominations are wrong, reminds us very much of agreat many Colored men in the republican party. WE USUALLY DESERVE all we get—good or bad—but sometimes it's a difficult matter to bring ourselves to believe that the gods of fate are playing fair with us. THERE IS NO DENYING the fact that the Colored people of this country are unfairly discriminated against: We all know that, and we are all thriving to overcome this handicap. But in our efforts to righten these wrongs we should not lose sight of the fact that we have many good friends in the other race and instead of "eussing" our enemies for their hellish meanness, let us think more of and commend more the worthy qualities of our friends. Certainly we can't do without the white man any more than he can do without us—we both need each other. CONCERNING THE ATTITUDE of the Negro voters in the pending campaign and election, Dr. Dubois, editor of the Crisis, writing in columns of The Nation, says: "The calculations of the Republicans may first go awry in assuming that Negroes will not vote for Democrats. No black man could vote for the "Solid South" and no Democratic candidate dare repudiate the support of this rotten borough system. But the Democratic organizations in certain Northern States, and particularly in Northern cities, have been giving a great deal of solicitous attention to Negroes. In New York City, for instance, there is a strong and intelligent Negro Democratic organization. The Negroes can get more consideration from the Democratic Congressman in the one black Harlem district than from any of their Republican Congressmen. They have consequently been voting more and more independently in Harlem in local elections and have their own representatives on the Board of Aldermen, in the Legislature, and in various branches of the civil service. In other cities and States the Democrats have made similar inroads. It is quite possible, then, for Democratic Congressmen, legislators, and governors to attract a considerable number of Negro votes and it is noticeable in this election that Negroes recognize that they are not nearly so much interested in the President of the United States as they are in their local aldermen and members of their State legislatures and particularly their Congressmen. Again the radicals have begun to see light with regard to Negroes. They realize that they must do more than flourish and beck-on to get Negro support. The Committee of Forty-Eight has demanded: "equal economic, political and legal rights for all, irrespective of sex or color." The Socialist Party has put this plank in its platform: "Congroes should enforce the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment with reference to the Negroes, and effective Federal legislation should be enacted to secure the Negroes full civil, political, industrial and educational rights. The Labor Party has not been as explicit but it is making distinct overtures. Without doubt there will be a large Negro radical vote. On the other hand, the Republicans are following placidly the old path. AT THE ANNUAL CONVENTION of the Southern Sociological Congress, which met in Washington, D. C., in May, reports were made which showed truly remarkable progress in a race only fifty years removed from slavery. At emancipation Negroes owned $20,000,000 worth of property; they now own $1,100,000,000 worth. They also own 600,000 homes, one-fourth of all they occupy. With the greater amount of money earned by Negroes during and since the war, there is a growing disposition, which should be encouraged, to acquire more property. "One who owns real estate gives a hostage to society." The long list of Negroes who have attained prominence in science, art, and literature lays at rest forever any question of capacity in this race. The report on education was most encouraging, showing decided interest at present on the part of school officials and others in providing more opportunities for the secondary education of Negroes, there being now sixty-nine Negro High Schools in the South. The effort to standardize the Colored normal schools and colleges is also significant, as well as the fact that all the Southern States have increased their appropriations to State Schools for Negroes, and that Federal aid has been offered through the Smith-Lever and Smith-Hughes Acts. Illiteracy has been reduced from 90 per cent, in 1865, to 30 $\frac{1}{2}$ per cent, in 1910.—Southern Workman. THE TULSA STAR Saturday. June 12. 1920. Booker T. Washington. One of Dr. Washington's most remarkable traits, one which entered largely into his success, was his tact. What is tact? It is that quality in the conduct of our relation with others whom we seek to influence, which avoids opposition to one's purpose without deceit or misrepresentation, by proper emphasis upon the essentials and silence in respect to minor issues likely to awaken prejudice or resentment. This quality no man had in a higher sense than Booker Washington. He was able to exercise it because he never thought of himself, because he had no selfish motive. His life was absorbed in his cause, and that enabled him to restrain the temptation to say things and do things to which he was frequently strongly provoked, by the knowledge that it would injure that which was dearest to him—the leading of the Negro race to the Atlanta Exposition is one of the greatest speeches in the English language, and it revaels this quality, which I have been describing, in its most beautiful flower. The sensitiveness of the Southern white people in respect to the social question, no one understood better than he. He did not waste regrets or self-pity that sensitiveness and its consequences, save where it led to a violation of the legal rights of his fellows; but he sought to remove that sensitiveness as an obstruction to the securing of such equal rights by showing that his purpose was not a social revolution, William, Howard Taft, in the William Howard Taft, in the Southern Workman. LAND FOR EX-SERVICE MEN. Bulletin No. 7 Tells How to Make Homestead Entries Homestead Entries. Through the service and information branch, the War Department has made public Bulletin No. 7, which is of interest to all ex-service men who contemplate making homestead entry on public lands. According to a joint resolution of Congress, hereafter for the period of two years it is provided, whenever public or Indian lands are opened to entry, that for not less than 60 days before the general opening all officers, soldiers, sailors, or marines who have served in the army or navy of the United States in the war with Germany shall have a preferred right of entry under the homestead or desert land laws, if they are qualified otherwise. A soldier is required to establish residence upon the land involved, within six months after his entry is allowed, unless an extension of time is granted on account of climatic reasons, sickness, or other unavoidable cause. Residence and cultivation must be continued for such length of time as will make up three years, when added to the soldier's credit, but he is entitled, on proper notice, to absent himself for five months in each year which may be divided into two periods, if he so desires. These provisions also apply to all ex-soldiers who had honorable service during the recent operations in Mexico or on the Mexican border. There are several million acres of public lands now available and the secretary of the interior, Washington, D. C., will furnish all the information desired. Races Clash In Merrie England NEWPORT, Eng., June 8.—A Negr and a white sailor started an altercation in an ale house here last Wednesday that resulted in the smashing of store windows, black eyes and bruised noses for several of the sailors, and the triumphant possession of the company of the woman who caused the row by a proud and laughing black sailor. Several revolvers are reported to have played an important part in the engagement, but no casualties from their employment in the melee.
