VOLUME X Race "GOVERNOR" BLOUNT HAS STRONG FOLLOWING AND MAY BE ELECTED Arkansas' Colored Candidate Man of Unusual Attainments. (Star News Service) FOREST CITY, Ark., June 23.— J. H. Blount, who is the first Negro to be nominated for governor of Arkansas, received his nomination at the hands of a faction of the republican party in this state. Blount is about 60 years old, has made his home in this city for the past 47 years. The nominee was born in Jones county, Georgia, received his elementary training in the schools of Atlanta and higher education in Nashville and Chicago. He is at present principal of the Colored schools of Helena and has been connected with schools in several Arkansas towns, including Hot Springs, Texarkana and Forest City. Blount is said to be in independent financial circumstances, owning over 600 acres of farm land and to teach merely for the love of the work. He is active in many fraternal orders. This is the first time Blount has ever been a candidate for political office, but he has attended republican conventions since 1884. At one state convention he was elected an alternate delegate at large, defeating the late Logan H. Roots for that honor. The candidate is persistent in his pleadings with members of his race to be thrifty, industrious and clean. He declares every Negro in Arkansas who farms for five years can own his own land. Big Time at Okmulgee Next Week Ethiopian Rescue and Relief Conference to Hold Big Celebration. There is going to be something doing at Okmulgee on the 30th. It is quite likely that there is going to be a good time for many people at the same time. Prof. E. M. M. Hendrick, Secretary of the Ethiopian Rescue and Relief Association, has issued a call for the stockholders of the company and for the people of Oklahoma at large to come to Okmulgee on the 30th and attend the greatest celebration ever held by our people in this state. This Association is probably doing greater good for the advancement commercially and financially of our people than any other in the country. It is really making progress, tangible progress, and this is shown by the fact that it has established and is conducting two large department stores, which carry stocks valued at many thousand dollars. It is also the owner of a printing press and is able to engage in that line of business, or practice economy by using the press to get out the large amount of stationery official and otherwise used by the association. It is announced that the Prince Challoughleizilcize, the highly educated descendant of the Abyssinia royal family, fluent in 32 languages, will deliver the principal address on this occasion. Other noted speakers will be on hand, plenty of refreshments, and everything will be made available to promote the happiness and pleasure of all who attend this celebration. Tacky Party Given by The Elks. The Stradford parlors were the scene of a very enjoyable "Tacky" party given by the Elks on Thursday evening. The participants seemed to be in a very happy mood and the various dances were delightfully rendered by the orchestra. THE TULSA STAR "HELL FIRE" DEBATE DRAWS MEDIUM CROWD Thousands Miss Hearing One of the Most Spectacular and Inter- esting Debates Ever Oc- curring in Tulsa. The crowd attending the "Hell-Fire" Debate last Friday evening at Convention Hall fell far short of the expectations of its promoters. Fortunately it can be said that the audience assembled was not disappointing from a financial standpoint of view, for all the promoters with the single exception of "Black Billy Sunday" were not in the affair with a desire to obtain pecuniary reward. In all probability, the small crowd present wadue to two causes. One was the overestimate of the drawing abilities of "Black Billy Sunday." It may be as "Billy" says in his advertising dope about himself, that in other cities thousands struggle to find places to hear him, both white and Colored, but so far as Tulsa is concerned, "Billy" and his "personal magnetism" etc., seemed like a burned out fuse on an electric circuit. The other cause was anticipated, in fact it has been charged for some time that certain influences were being exerted in religious circles of Tulsa to discourage people from going to hear the teachings being promulgated by Attorney Hill at the Bible Students' Institute on Archer street, or anywhere else for that matter. But after all, it may be said that what the audience may have lacked in numbers was more than made up in the quality of its respectability and intelligence. One-half of the parquet was comfortably filled with representatives of our group and the other half with white citizens accompanied by their wives. The debate in itself was not at all disappointing, and while some features of it could just as well have been omitted, every one felt satisfied with having spent an evening in an advantageous manner. The address of "Black Billy Sunday" was no doubt characteristic of "Billy", and in the eyes of his admirers no doubt, he may have scored a hit. As a debater, however, "Billy" fell very far short, and his address did not indicate that he was as familiar with the Bible and its teachings, as one would imagine from his long experience in evangelistic work. It rather seemed to the reporter, that "Billy" was laboring under the impression that he was in the ring for a ten round fistic battle with Attorney Hill, rather than for a discussion in which verbal and logical expertness was to be displayed. At one time "Billy" started to disrobe, taking off his collar, necktie, etc., and it would not have surprised us had he continued to disrobe, to have found him arrayed in tights not unlike the Frenchman Carpentier, who had figured on the same stage the night before. If Carpentier proved himself a champion by his facility in the use of gloves then "Billy" proved himself a champion in his facility to use blasphemy and vituperation—two things which never have been as yet considered proper for use in a legitimately conducted argument or debate. On the other hand, it was generally conceded that Attorney Hill presented his side of the Hell-Fire question in a most gentlemanly and able manner. His references to the Bible were frequent and it appeared that he had every thing from Genesis to Revelation at the tip end of his tongue. His treatment of his opponent was always courteous and his reference to him at no time could have been considered in any way abusive. His delivery was deliberate, his enunciation perfect, and his voice carried to the uttermost parts of the Weekly Mail Edition TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, JUNE, 26, 1920. TULSA'S FAVORITE SON EXPECTED HOME SOON Left Washington Last Week In Auto For Tulsa—May Arrive Today. CONGRESSMAN E. P. HOWARD Tulsa is waiting expectantly, if not anxiously for the arrival of her favorite son, E. P. Howard, United States Congressman, who left Washington, D. C., a week ago in his auto for cross-country drive to his home in this city. It is thought very probable that he will arrive today or tomorrow. Congressman Howard made a hit in the halls of Congress and all over the country when he started the fight on sugar profiters. He is still championing the fight and will continue to push it to the end. Mr. Howard is a candidate for re-election and if pre-election sentiment counts for anything, his re-election is already assured. vast hall with great clearness. Whether Attorney Hill is right, or whether he is wrong, his presentation and array of facts quoted fact on top of fact from the Scriptures appeared to give him the advantage in the contest, and consequently to have won the debate. Both speakers were frequently interrupted by words of approval from the audience, and even in this regard Attorney Hill had the advantage. The audience gave close attention to both speakers, and seemed to enjoy the argument presented by Attorney Hill and the gymnastics performed by "Black Billy Sunday." The following unbiased comments on the debate by four members of the audience may give an idea of the impressions of all. The first comments were made by two well known and experienced jurists, men who have occupied the judicial bench of Tulsa County for a number of years, and hence have heard arguments presented upon a great variety of topics. Judge Breckenridge said: "The debate was very interesting especially that part represented by that man Hill. I consider his discussion of the Bible one of the most intelligent and enlightening I have ever heard. 'Black Billy Sunday' impressed me as a good actor." Judge Lee Daniels said: "That certainly was some debate. That man Hill is an able debater. I enjoyed his talk very much. The other man is given too much to emotionalism. He failed to produce any scripture to sustain his argument." Dr B. A. Wayne commenting said: "I think the debate was all right barring 'Black Billy Sunday' and his silly antics. Mr. Hill was very mesterful in his discussion of the Bible and gentlemanly in his bearing. 'Black Billy Sunday' is a disgrace to the race." The Rev. H T. S. Johnson said: "I admired Mr. Hill's dignity and his ability, but that is all I can say for him. Of course his opponent was overmatched from an intellectual standpoint. Hill's contention, however, is absurd." Attorney H. A. Guess, presided as master of Ceremonies with dignity. The Rev. Moten, a newcomer to Tulsa, at the end of the debate, tried to take charge of the meeting for evangelistic purposes, while "Black Billy Sunday" endeavored to take up a collection to pay his way from Waco or Dallas, Texas. To Tulsa, while as a matter of fact he had come from Wilburton, Okla., to Tulsa, to take part in the debate.

The home guard of Savannah was enroute to the scene to protect the Negro when the lynching took place.

Debate Three Are Convicted in Swindle Case Three Are Convicted in Swindle Case MADE $50,000 IN OLD 'CON' GAME Judge Williams Defers Sentence Pending Appeal to Be Made (Star News Service) MALESTER, Okla., June 22.—C. T Burnes, well known Muskogee attorney, white, and S. E. Edwards and Howard Banks, Colored, were found guilty of using the mails to defraud by a jury in federal court here at 11 o'clock today. The trio are said to have obtained more than $50,000 from Colored men of the Muskogee district in a fraudulent cattle scheme. The trial of the case started last Friday. The government presented fifty-four witnesses. Five leading Muskogee lawyers represented the defendants who are expected to appeal the case when it comes up for further order in Muskogee on July 15. Representing themselves as cat-the dealers the defendants are said to have induced persons to make investments of a few hundred dollars on deals involving the buying of cattle here and the selling of cattle in the Kansas City market. When the deal was supposedly completed the investors would be presented with a check about double the amount originally invested, Then they would be induced to reinvest these funds in another deal. Edwards is said to have sent the telegram from the Kansas City company which was supposed to be buying the cattle. The other two worked at this end, though Banks is said to have done most of the missionary work among members of his race. No sentence will be imposed by Judge R. L. Williams until after the trio have been given a chance to appeal July 15. Foster V. Phipps chief assistant United States attorney handled the case against the men. A. B.

If a colored man should attempt to start business in a white district in Tulsa, the whites would not wait to try to force him out by lawful means, but would use unlawful means to get rid of him. The Colored people of this community in which this store is located, have decided not to use unlawful means, but are going to prove to this white man that his store is not wanted by not giving him one penny worth of trade. This we are sure to prove because the colored people of the community are race Cave Clear MODERN EQUIPPED LAUNDRY AND CLOTHES CLEANING DEPARTMENT EMPLOYING SEVENTEEN MEMBERS OF OUR RACE ALL AT GOOD SALARIES OUR LAUNDRY DEPARTMENT Foreman of this department knows how to get the best r OUR EQUIPMENT is a done by other laundries of t OUR CLEANING DEPARTMENT all expert workman in this volume of business than ever OUR HATTING.

P. CONFERENCE CONDEMNS LYNCHING Atlanta Meeting Demands National Suffrage and Education. (A. N. P. Service) ATLATNA, Ga., June 22.—The address to the country, unanimously agreed to by the 600 delegates from 43 states attending the eleventh annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, whose membership is said to include 100,000 white and Colored people, organized in 328 branches for securing American Citizenship rights for 12,000,000 American Negroes, have issued an address to the country. The address says in part: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People calls upon the political parties of the country, about to meet in national convention, to give due consideration to the race question, than which there is none more vital to the high welfare and to the future of the nation. "It calls upon, these parties to give in their platformms expression to the declaration that the principles of common justice and democracy for all American citizens regardless of race or color. "It called upon these parties specifically to declare—(1) For the untrammmelled right of the Negro to vote under identical qualifications required of others; (2) For federal suppression of lynching—that crime which has become the shame and humiliation of the nation before the civilized world; (3) For national aid to education which will be so distributed as to insure to every child black and white, free common-school training. Negro Education A National Assett, Moofole Story of Boston, President of the N. A. A. C. P. in his message, which was read by Arthur N. Spingarn of New York, one of the Association's Vice-Presidents, quoted the warning which has been given by Monroe N.

Some Conference "High Spots" As presiding officer at the opening meeting, Arthur N. Spingarn said "We are facing problems of portentous moment, Mutal tolerance and respect we must have. All our problems must be solved with justice." James Weldon Johnson, the Associated field secretary and well-known diplomat, poet and journalist, presented the cardinal points on which the members of the Association have taken their stand. "How long?" asked Mr. Johnson, "will Negroes be afraid to speak the truth and how long will white men be afraid to listen to the truth?" A symposium on the "Atlanta Plan" brought together representatives of the Committee on Church Co-Operation and of the N. A. A. C. P. Board of Directors stated that the Association took its stand on the United States Constitution, "We stand against segregation. We stand for the ballot. Negroes have no rights in the North, except these rights for which they have fought." D. Plato Durham, dean of Emory University, Atlanta, said; "The time has come when we must know each other. The first essential thing to do is to remove the barriers of misunderstanding so that men may be judged fairly." Negroes Still Migrate. "If the South wants to retain the Negro, it must give him freedom, and justice," said Rev. W. W. Bagnall, Rector of St. Matthew's P. E. Church, Detroit, and president of the local N. A. A. C. P. Dr. DuBois on Education. "I advocate schools for all people" said Dr. DuBois. "Schools that train, not simply to work, but to think; schools that train not simply for vocations and professions, but for the greatest of careers—that of a democratic citizen in a democratic state." Race Commissions. Dr. J. E. Spingarn of New York, Treasurer of the National Association presided at the session devoted to a discussion of "Lynching and Segregation." He proposed the plan of forming permanent commissions, in each of the southern states to consist of five leaders of each race in each state; and these leaders to be chosen by the respective governors on the basis of leadership and not politics. HICKORY HITS: Sunday School opened with a large attendance and was ably conducted by the superintendent, Mrs. Bessie Collett. The total enrollment is 23 with six actie officers. One of the remarkable features of the school is little Alene Johnson, age 8, who is secretary and making and reading minutes which would be a credit to a much older girl.

ADVANCEMENT ASSOCIATION OFFERS AID TO MINNESOTA GOVERNOR The Lynching at Duluth to Be Investigated; Assistance Offered. (N. A. A. C. P. Service). The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York City, recently wired Governor J. A. Burnquist of Minnesota, offering assistance in the apprehension of the man who broke into the jail at Duluth last week and seized three Colored men, accused of connection with the attack on a white girl in that city, and lynched them. The Association advised Governor Burnquist, who besides being governor is also president of the St. Paul Branch of the Association and one of the staunch supporters of its work, that it was willing to do anything in its power with its 328 branches and membership of 100,000 to help in running down the lynchers through its staff of investigators. The Association's telegram to the governor read: Hon. J. A. Burnquist, Governor, State Capitol, St. Paul, Minn., National Association for the Advancement of Colored People offers all possible assistance in apprehending murreereers who battered down doors of jail at Duluth last night and lynched three Negroes accused of connection with attack on girl. Prompt apprehension and rigorous punishment of lynchers of Negroes and of the law of the State of Minnesota will have wholesome and salutary effect throughout the nation. As Governor of state and President of the St. Paul Branch of National Association for Advancement Colored People, may we urge you use every power at your command to prevent further disorder and arrest lynchers. Commend action sending for troops. Advise us if we can be of assistance. Can furnish staff investigators if needed. James Weldon Johnson, Field Secretary.

Lecturer at Langston Calls Attention to the Importance of Sanitary Surrounding $ ^{8} $ (Langston News Service) LANGSTON, Okla., June 25—Recently in a lecture delivered before the large student body of teachers attending the Langston Summer School, being conducted here under direction of President Marquess, Dr. Tucker, director of Rural Sanitation, delivered a most timely and interesting address on the importance of sanitary conditions in and around school buildings. She illustrated her talk by reference to two Colored schools which she had visited while on her way to Langston. One school, she said, was extremely dirty and ill-kept, while the other was noticeably well kept and attractive because of its extreme cleanliness. This latter school was held up as a model for teachers and the principal and teachers of that school were highly commended by Dr. Tucker. The school which was so highly commended by Dr. Tucker is the school located at Olympia, presided over by Prof. P. W. Watman, who is aided by four able assistants. This school specializes on domestic science, art and school gardens. Its principal is a graduate of the University of West Tennessee with post graduate work at Ann Arbor, Mich. Carrying out his idea to make this an up-to-date school, Prof. Watman aims at an early date to install a play-ground and apparatus. Associated Negro Press Entertains Editors. (A. N. P.

Gordon McPherson of Houston (By Rev. Gorden McPherson). I read this article in one of your local papers; "Examine your preachers and get rid of fire and brimstone peddlers. The Doctrine of Eternal Torment is blasphemy on God's character, is contrary to the Scripture and has done more to blind the minds concerning God's plan of Salvation than all other errors combined. Every intelligent minister knows, or should know, that the greatest punishment God has prescribed for willful sinners is death everlasting, the second death—a death from which there will be no resurrection. They also know tt Hell and the Grave mean one and the same thing—oblivion, a state of non-existence. They further know that the lake of fire and brimstone mentioned in the scripture 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 Hinnon, the lake burning with fire and brimstone) 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 the earth nothing will be allowed to remain in it that will hurt or offend. According to the rules governing the literal city, (made of stone, cement, brick and morter) all filth was to be cast into the litera cesspool or lake burning with brimstone to be consumed.

I shall not attempt to read you all of this article, but I want to remind you that it is the aim to make you believe that there is no Hell. I shall read further and then I am through. "You humble hearted Christians who desire to know the truth and do the will of God, I beg to remind you that any preacher who either preaching or endorsing by silence the Hell Fire Doctrine is an energy to the truth and infense of the good name of Jehovah, and not in the sense of a "know all," I challenge any minister in Tulsa or Tulsa County, State of Oklahoma, or any where, who is so unfortunate as to believe that the Bible teaches an eternity of tortures for sinners, to defend his position before my face and the public. I say further that any minister who ignores this challenge on this most important subject and continues by word or silent endorsement to teach this Hell Fire Doctrine, is a wolf in sheep's clothing and has not the interest of the sheep at heart but only desires to fleece them (get the money) and make a show to the world." This is none other than the teachings of the late Pastor Russel: Ladig and gentlemen, I will give the last drop of blood to defend the people, there is not a single word of truth in this statement that there is no Hell.

CHALLOUGHLCZILCZISE Under the Date, June 30 ```markdown ``` THE TULSA STAR, Saturday, June 26, 1920 he Debate octrine of Negative—By Richard J. Hill I am quite sure that I do not need as many shots as my opponent. Dear friends, all I wish is to call your attention to an earnest study of the Scripture. I am here to defend the name of Jehovah God. I wish to say that the Eternal Terment Doctrine is blasphemous to the name of Jehovah. I want to remind the people that the late Pastor Russel was a servant of God and I am glad to be able to tell any where that the God I serve and the God that Pastor Russel served is not a Fire and Brimstone God. I want to denounce all doctrines contrary to the plan of God. I do it because the people ought to know the truth. We are not here to discuss Pastor Russel. I thought that we were here to discuss the question of Eternal Torment in a lake of fire and brimstone. If my opponent means to win on public sentiment, he is beaten now. I want to say this about Pastor Russel and I am through. Pastor Russel did two great things; one thing he said, was that the Gentiles had a lease of power for two thousand five hundred and twenty years (2,520), from 606 B, C. to 1914 A. D. He told the world that the Gentile time would end about this time. Let the world answer as to whether this is true or not. The two worse things that Pastor Russel did, was to throw the water hose of truth on Hell and put out the preachers fire; that was too bad. But he went on telling the truth without money, without price. He gave his fortune of $300,000 to the cause of truth, yet more he gave his life to enlighten the world concerning God's plan. Next he always had seats free, and no collections. The preachers could not stand this. If Pasor Russel had not have done this, he could have advocated, dancing, bailing the jack, holy rolling, or anything else; if he only had not have advocated seats free and no collection. I am sure we did not mean to take so much time to discuss Pastor Russell. Get you! Bibles and think. I want you to convince yourself that Grave means Hell—Psalms, 49: 15; and Heil means Grave—Psalms 55: 15, marginal reading. They both mean the same. I want to say dear people, think! And do not be lead off by emotionalism. Most of the preaching done over the country is explained by a story told of an old Colored man down in Alabama; The old fellow had a large crop of cotton, full of grass, he worked awhile and went to dinner, leaving the mule to graze in the shade, when he returned, the mule was still standing in the shade. He looked at the mule and then at the cotton, and grass all around, he saw so much grass and the sun was shining very hot, so he looked up toward the sky and said: "O Lord, the sun am so hot; the cotton am so grassy and the work am so hard, Ise believe dis Niggar am called to preach" (uproar of laughter). And he has not returned to that cotton patch since. The Colored man is not the only one, whose preaching is based upon the principles of this story. think. I want yourselves the Psalms, 49: Grave—Psalm reading. The I want to s And do not be alism. Most over the coun story told of down in Ala Man is the subject of this debate. It is important to know what man is, in order to properly determine whether he is of such quality of being capable of everlasting punishment. It is necessary for one to know what a thing is, before he can properly care for that thing. A man who has never seen a sheep or has no knowledge as to what one looks like could not be trusted to go into a bunch of mixed animals and care for the sheep. Such one is liable to pet and care for wolves, bears, goats, etc. All the preachers claim to be busy trying to save souls but if you would ask one, "What is a soul?" or What does it look like?" he would possibly scratch his head and say that is too deep for you and if I would tell you, you would not understand it. As a matter of fact, the majority of the preachers know nothing as to what a soul is, and would not know one if they met it in the road at noon-day. Man is a soul. "The Lord God formed man of the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul." Gen. 2; 7. The Bible declares that man is of the earth, and that he is not spiritual, First Cor. 15: 45-47. Man is not a spirit being as spirits have not flesh and bones, Luke 24: 39. Spirit beings have spiritual bodies and human beings have human or natural bodies, First Cor. 15: 44. Adam, the first man was not spiritual. "That was not first which is spiritual," First Cor. 15: 46. Man is the highest order of animal life and is composed of Body and Breath of life, which is sometimes called Spirit of Life. Every creature that breathes is a soul. God applies the word living-soul to the lower order of animals the need of a Hell?" Let me say in the words of General "Stonewall" Jackson, "There was one old man who said that he could just hear the sinners frying on the Hell Fire, so a Mr. Cocks, General do you believe that there is a Hell? What do they want with a Hell? The General replied, He would put such fools as you into it." He said that the word Hell means the Grave and is symbolic of greater things; well if that description is only a symbol, what must the reality be? If left to themselves, what convict is it, that would not vote the Penetentuarary out? God does not put any body in Hell. God did not make any body in Hell. He gave man a will to make his choice as to where he would go. I dare not say where Pastor Russel is, for he knows now as to whether there is a Hell or not. The man that is behind this Pastor Russel teachings and that is furnishing the money is an ex-convict, you know that he just came out of jail. Why does he not come out himself? But he hides behind this poor deluted man. Send him out. I want to say that there is a Hell, read 2 Corr. 33: 6; and you will see where Jesus was talking about Hell. There is a real Hell and if Mr. Hill keeps on at the gait that he is going, he will soon find out. He goes to the Bible for God's goodness, then turns right around and disputes the same Bible, on the punishment for the wicked. I am like the man who went hunting, "I have sixteen more shots coming." (Rev. McPherson's opening or preliminary remarks). The balance of Mr. G. McPherson's argument was principally defamatory attacks upon the character of the late Pastor Russel and the successor to Pastor Russel, J. F. Rutherford, whom he described as an ex-convict and also attacks upon the integrity and intelligence of his opponent, Richard J. Hill. (Stenographically reported.) New York RICHARD J. HILL long before the creaton of man, possibly seven thousand years before man was created. Genn, 1: 20-30 Marginal. The word soul is applied to both man and beast in Numbers, 31: 28. It reads thus: "Ard levy a tribute unto the Lord of the men of war which went out to battle; one soul of five hundred, both of the persons and of the beeves, and of asses, and of the sheep," God in his own word declares that both man and beast die alike and go to the same place. The Scripture reads thus, "For that which bealleth the sons of man, befalleth the beasts." Even one thing befalleth them; as the one die so dieth the other; ye! They have all one breath so that man hath no pre-eminence above a beast for all is vanity. All go unto one place; all are of the dust and all change to dust again." Ecc. 3: 19-20. My opponent will have to admit according to this Scripture that the lower animals are roasting in Eternal Torment with man, for the reason that the Scriptures say that they all go to one place at death. My opponent must admit that before one could be eternally tormented, it is necessary to have life immortal. Man is not immortal. Man is a soul, man, dies, therefore the soul dies. There is a distinction between eternal life and immortal life. A creature may live eternally and yet not be immortal. Immortality, means that quality of life not subject to death; it means that such creatures cannot die and God even has not the power to destroy such one. Has God the power to destroy the soul? Jesus answers, "Fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body." My opponent will not be able to produce a single scripture text which says that man has an immortal soul. The only scripture that he might use which has the appearance of sustaining the immorality of the soul is found in Genn. 3: 1-5. "Ye shall surely not die." And that was a lie told by the Devil for the purpose of debauching and deceiving Mother Eve. All persons who are advocating that when one dies he is not dead, is sustaining, whether intentionally or ignorantly, the Devil's first old lie, "Thou shall surely not die." The Bible plainly tells us that God only hath immortality. First Tim. 6: 16. There is a wide distinction between man in general, and one who is a real Consecrated Christian. One line of Scripture applies to man in general, and another and different line of Scripture applies to the real and true followers of Christ. The New Testament speaks of immortality as a promised reward, not an inherent quality. Something man already possesses. Immortality is the greatest reward that God has to bestow upon his fellow creatures who love and serve him. To the Christians, Paul says, "Seek ye immortality," Romans 2: 7. A man does not seek for that which he already possesses. Again, this mortal must put on immortality, First Cor. 15: 53. The Scripture here has no reference to the world of mankind, but to Christians, only. The world of mankind will never possess the quality of immortality. It is to the church the promise is made, "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give the Crown of Life." The highest element of life is humouralty. Rev. 2: 10. The Scriptures clearly teaches that when man dies he is unconcious, without memory, ceases to speak, breathe, think, feel or hate. The Scriptures in proof of this statement follows; "For in death there is no rememberance of thee; in the grave who shall give thee thanks," Psalms 6: 5. "The dead praise not the Lord, neither anyt that go down in silence," Psalms, 115: 17. "Thou taken away their breath they die and return to the dust." Psalms 104: 29. "His breath goeth forth he returneth to the earth; in that very day his thoughts perish." Psalms 146: 4. A dead man ceaseth to love, ceaseth to hate, and ceaseth to anger." Ecc. 9: 6. Furthermore, the Scripture clearly states that a dead man knoweth nothing. Ecc. 9: 5. The dead stop working. "Whatsoever thy hands find to do, do with thy might; for there is nor work nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave, whither thou goest." Ecc. 9: 10. When a man reaches the point where he cannot remember, cannot give thanks; cannot speak; cannot breathe; does not think; has no feelings; neither loves, hates, or envies, does not work; and knows not anything, he must be actually and completely dead and therefore unconscious. Sleep is a symbol of death and therefore, since God has made an arrangement to awaken or resurrect the billions of humanity, death is spoken of as a sleep. A man sound asleep knows nothing, is not conscious and knows nothing of what transpires during his sleep. So it is in death, as clearly shown in John 11: 1-44, in the case of Lazarus who knew nothing and told nothing concerning himself during his four days of death asleep. The next question which logically follows is where are the dead? The Bible clearly teaches that the dead both good and bad are in Hell, the Grave. Oblivion, a condition the same as if they had not existed. Jacob weighted down with sorrow because of the supposed loss of his son Joseph said, "I will go down to my son Joseph in Sheol (In Hell) mourning," Genn. 37: 35. Genn. 43: 38. Many of the Old Testament prophets whom God approved said that they were going to Hell. Job was a Godly man and after having suffered the loss of all his earthly possessions, his children killed; his wife turned his enemy; his neighbors taunted him because of his suffering; his body putrid from running sores; and while suffering bodily pain and mental anguish, he prayed to God that he might go to Hell. If Hell is a place of eternal Torment does any sane person believe that Job prayed to go to a place to suffer more than he was already? Oh No! He said that he desired to be in Hell until God's wrath be passed. Job 14: 13. He defines Hell. "If I wait, Hell is my house; I have made my bed in the darkness our rest is in the dust." Job 17: 13-14. Again Job said that man passeth away, his sons come to honor and he knows it not, and they are brought low and he perceive it not." Job 14: 21. Jesus went to this same Hell as the Psalmist declares in Psalm 16: 10. "Thou will not leave my (Continued on Page 5) ESSENCE OF THE DEBATE ON THE DOCTRINE OF ETERN- TORMENT (Continued from Page 4) soul in Hell." The fact is that all persons who die go to the same Hell to which Jesus said Capuanrum would be brought down to it. Matt. 11: 23, reads thus, "And thou, Capuenaum, which art assaulted unto Heaven shall be brought down to Hell, for if the mighty works which have done in thee, had been done in Sodom it would have remained unto this day. Kindly understand me, I do not say that there is not a Hell. There is a Hell! The Bible Hell. But the trouble is that the preachers have put a lot of things into this Hell, Fire, brimstone, forked-tail devils, etc. The Bible Hell is the Grave or Oblivion. The preachers Hell is a place where one is tormented by fire-proof devils through out all eternity. It is this creed or clergy's Hell that I attack and denounce as absolutely false and with out any scriptural foundation. Ezek. 28: 18-19 and in Heb. 2: 14, and 1st John 3: 8, Rev. 20: 10, we are told that the Devil and all his works are to be destroyed. I want my Opponent to tell me and this intelligent congregation, who is going to keep the fires burning when the Devil is destroyed? Will the wicked be punished? They certainly will. God's law is unchangeable. In the beginning God provided a penalty for the violation of his law stating, "In the day that thou sinneth thou shall surely die." Genn, 2: 17. "The wages of sin is death (Not eternal Torment), Romans 6: 23. God having fixed this penalty for the violation of his law while man was perfect, and before he sinned, could not change the penalty and inflict a different one for the reason that God cannot be inconsistent. "He cannot deny himself," Second Tim, 2: 13. The Scriptures show that the wicked shall perish like the brute beast, Second Peter, 2: 9-12. Will my opponent contend that the mule, the horse, etc., will receive eternal torment? If the doctrine of eternal torment is true, then according to the plain statement of the Scriptures the brute beast shall perish same as the wicked. There are several other Scriptural points that I would call your attention to but since I see it, I have no debate, I will proceed to tell you some truths concerning God's plan. There is no dispute that the dead both the just and the unjust, will be resurrected. John 5: 28-29 Matt. 25: 31-46 shows that the dead will be raised from their graves and come before Christ to be blessed. From where will they be resurrected? Let the prophet of the Lord answer, "Out of the dust of the earth," Danl. 12: 2. The Judgment of the world will last one thousand years and during that time the Devil will be bound so that he may deceive the nations no more, Rev. 20: 1-3-8. Blessing is to come to the world of mankind through the seed of Abraham. In thy seed shall all the nations be blessed." Geni. 12: 3. Who is the seed of Abraham? In Gal. 4: 16, we are told that this seed is Christ. And in the 29th verse of the same chapter, we are informed that those who consecrate themselves are who are baptised into Christ are Abraham's seed. This blessing to the world of mankind, will come at the close of the Gospel age and after the fulfillment of the things mentioned by our Lord in the 24th chapter of Matt. Which he told us would be an evidence of his presence to take over the Kingdoms of the world and bless mankind. All reasonable minded persons can now see in process the fulfillment of many of the things spoken by our Lord in this chapter, which is known to Bible Students as the Lord's great prophecy. Thousands of millions have died and have gone into the tomb in ignorance of Jesus' great sacrifice. My opponent would have you believe that their destiny is eternal torture. Thousands of intelligent men and women of good honest hearts have lived and died not knowing anything of God's Great Plan. Thousands are living today, even in this very city of Tulsa, who know not the Lord or his Great plans. All these my opponent would consign to the flames of a burning Hell. For a moment let us reflect upon the great sorrow that has filled the earth. We see a fair land drenched in the blood of its inhabitants. We call to mind a blood thirsty, conquering Hero, marching through the country, laying waste to the fields and reducing the homes of a peaceful people to ashes. The widow, mother and children driven into the cold world; the husband, father and brothers slain upon the battle field, the ravages of war, of famine of pestilence destroying peaceful and happy homes, leaving behind broken hearts and broken bodies. For six thousand years the poor human race has suffered under these awful conditions. What hope would my opponent hold out for them? Few, indeed, have ever known of the precious name of Jesus. Few could h ave known because of the many blinding doctrines that have been taught by two hundred different denominations in this country and thousands of breachers who differ in teachings and doctrines. Shall we for a moment believe that a just and loving God would permit these poor creatures to suffer so much sorrow and misery at the hands of men and then permit the Devil to burn them in a fire and brimstone. Hell to be tortured forever? Thank God this is not true I am glad we have a message of comfort for the hearts of the people in this hour of peril, I am glad to point out that God's word holds forth a message of hope and that the hour has come for it to be understood, and soon this great flood of truth that is rising shall fill the whole earth until all shall know of the just and loving God. What will the Lord do with these creatures if only a few can go to Heaven? What is the office of the church that is taken to Heaven? The Lord answers through his prophet, Isaiah. 42: 6-7. "I the Lord God hath called thee and I will give thee for a covenant for the people, for a light of the nation, to open the blinded eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house." Again Jesus says, "All in their Graves shall hear his voice and come forth the Good to a resurrection of life, the Evil to a resurrection by Judgment." When the Lord brings these forth the first thing they must have is a knowledge of the fact that Christ has died for them and redeemed them from death, and now the opportunity has come for them to live. St. Paul has beautifully declared in these words that God hath appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man, Christ, whom he hath ordained, and of this he has given assurance unto all men in that he raised up Christ Jesus from the dead, Act. 17: 31. This day that he has appointed is the Millennial day, the one thousand year day of Christ's reign in which all shall come to a knowledge of the truth. And what shall be the reward of those who obey the truth? The Apostle Peter answers: "Repent ye, therefore, and be converted that your sins may be blotted out when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord, and he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you; whom the Heavens must receive until the times of restitution of all things which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began", Act, 3: 19-20-21. In the language of the Apostle this will be the times of refreshing, blessing for the people, for the reason it is the time of restitution. Restitution means the bringing back to a former condition the things that were lost. What a wonderful hope is held out to humanity! Adam was a perfect man with the right to live upon the earth forever in a perfect home with abundance, peace and happiness. Because of sin of all these he lost, and for more than six thousand years his progeny has passed through the vail of tears. Jesus is to set up his Kingdom and his one thousand year reign is for the express purpose of restoring to mankind all that was lost in Father Adam. Jesus is able to do this because he bought all these rights that man had lost. To use his own words "The Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19: 10. The Lord Jesus through John the Revelator, gives a wonderful picture of the Kingdom of Messiah. A city is used as a symbol of a government, and a Holy City means Messiah's government. In symbolic language he describes this beautiful government and says: "I heard a great voice out of Heaven saying, 'Behold the Tabernacle (dwelling place) of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them and they shall be his people and God himself will be their God, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain for the former things are passed away.'" The nations of the earth, the restored people shall walk in the light, in the purity of this King-dom." Rev. 21: 1-5: 24-26. We can see a reason why the dead are unconscious while dead, we see that life is the most wonderful thing that one could possess, when it is possessed in perfection. We see that God through Christ Jesus has provided redemption, resurrection and restitution for all who love righteousness and hate iniquity; Jesus bought the rights long ago, and in his righteous reign he shall restore all the obedient ones of Adams stock until the earth is filled with a perfect, happy and beautiful race of people. What a Glorious prospect. Truly the poet has said, "The earth is old with centuries but not for this she hangs her head." Closer to her heart the sorrow lies, she holds so many dead. "But thanks be to God the dark night of sin and death is near an end. Soon the prison house of death shall be opened and the sleeping dead shall come forth." We are thankful to God that we are in the dawn of a new and better time, when the Son of Righteousness is rapidly rising with healing in his being. When the brightness of his glorious presence shall shine upon the whole earth then wars shall cease, darkness and ignorance, superstition and falsehood, hatred THE TULSA STAR, Saturday, June 26, 1920 and malice, slander, crime and death shall be driven away; truth and righteousness shall be enthroned forever. The discoveries the highest imp will be made to convince and lift What will that glorious time of refreshing and restitution mean to the world? Let us forget for a moment the scenes of misery and woe that prevail in the earth now. And having faith in the precious premise of God let us picture in our mental vision the glories of a perfect earth and a perfect people. No more blinded eyes, no more deaf ears, no more crooked limbs. No not an ache or pain, nor any evidence of decay—not even a fear of such things. Call to mind now the most beautiful specimen of humankind you have ever beheld, and then remember that every one of the members of the human family will be of far surpassing loveliness when Christ has completed his reign. The inward purity of mind and heart and moral perfection will stamp every radiance face and mark every act. Every man will love his neighbor as he loves himself, and every one will sit under his own vine and fig tree. Then men will not build and annothe inhabit. Then behold in mental vision a perfect, righteous, peaceful and happy people, rejoicing in the blessings of a perfect earth which the Lord hath prepared for them. The earth yielding its increase; the desert blooming as a rose; the waste and arid land brought up to the condition of, even to Paradise. Then songs of gladness will fill the earth, and from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof the praises of Jehovah will be heard. "Then they will walk mid the trees by the river with the friends they have loved by their side, they will sing the glad songs of salvation and be ready to follow their guide. St. John as he stood on the Isle of Patmos and beheld in a vision the beauties and glories of a restored earth and people, described in poetic language, how the songs of gladness will fill the earth and how those songs of praises will be caught up to Heaven and waffted back to earth again until every creature which is in Heaven and upon the earth will be heard saying, "Blessings and Honor and Glory and Power be unto him that sitteth upon the throne and unto Christ forever." Rev. 15: 13. In conclusion dear Friends, I wish to say that the government is very busy chasing peddlers. This dope, I understand, is a thing that will make one feel happy when he is really miserable, will make one feel rich when he is really poor. The Eternal Torment Doctrine is the worse dope that has ever been brought out to mankind. The effect of all of these dopes whether literal or moral is to dethrone reason. A person being affected sufficiently with the eternal torment doctrine will at times try to kick the bottom out of the church house and jump through the ceiling, hollowing, "Glory and Honor to God." When the world awakens to its sense of justice and truth the fire and brimstone peddler will be more detestable than the worse dope peddler of today. Dear friends, I am determined to give the world the truth to the extent of my ability, regardless to cost or sacrifice even though it costs life. (Continued Next Week.) OLDEST WRITTEN CODE IS FOUND Shows High State of Civilization Thousands of Years Before Christ's Time. *(Star News Service)* PHILADELPHIA, Pa. June 22.—What is said to be the oldest known written code of laws in the world, probably antedating that of Hammurabi by at least a thousand years, has been discovered in part among the bitherto untranslated clay tablets from Nippur at the University of Pennsylvania museum. The Hammurabi code was prepared about 2100 B. C., and was discovered about twenty years ago on a large diorite stone by French explorers. The laws which have just been translated by Abbe Scheil of Paris, deal with responsibilities of hired servants, with trespass on farms and orchards, harboring of slaves, rentals, rights of slave women who have borne children to their masters, punishment for adultery, etc. One interesting statute provides that rentals must run for three years in case a man has taken over a house the owner does not know how to manage. This is somewhat obscure and may mean free rentals for that term. In any event property could not lie idle or be improperly used if some one was willing to use it for public or private benefit. In case of a slave bore children to her master, she and the offspring were free and if the master married the slave the children became legitimate. In general, the laws show a high state of civilization existed when they were written, and indicate milleniums of previous experience in settled communities. They deal with personal and property rights on a basis somewhat like that of the Deuteronomic code. it is thought possible the tablets were textbooks used at the great University of Nippur. The discoveries are considered of the highest importance and search will be made for further tablets containing additional jaws. WHITE GRAFTER PROVOKES RACE DISTURBANCE Chicago Negroes Resent Burning of American Flag and Conflict Follows (A. N. P. Service) CHICAGO, 11L, June 21.—One Negro policeman, a disinterested cigar store clerk and a meddlesome sailor were the victims in a near riot scene at Indiana Avenue and 35th street, Sunday night. The sailor and the clerk are dead. The Negro policeman may die. All were shot in a fracas that was started by a flag ceremonial in which a group of Colored people styling themselves the "Star Order of Abysinia," were engaged in at the front of Entertainers Hall in 35th street and Indiana avenue. The society had been parading through the streets in the "Black Bell" and had halted at the front of the hall where a ceremony in which the American and the Abyssinian flags were symbolic features, was started. Feeling that the American flag was being desecrated by the ceremony, the Negro policeman rushed at the crowd followed by the sailor. In the scrap precipitated by their action the sailor was killed, the policeman probably fatally wounded and the clerk was killed in his store by a stray bullet. Charge Flag Burning. A statement by Joseph P. Owens, the wounded Negro officer, declares that the ceremony included the burning of the flags by the society and it was this action that prompted him to attempt to break up the proceedings. "The crowd looked like a group of Colored foreigners to me. They had been parading through the streets all the afternoon and acting like 'nuts' to my way of thinking. When they stopped in front of the hall and began the burning of the flags, I thought it was high time to put a stop to the circus. I don't know how the sailor got mixed up in the matter. If he had kept out of the thing and minded his own business I don't think either of us would have been hurt." Shot With Rifles. The shooting is said to have been with rifles. Onlookers stated that when the policeman and the sailor charged the crowd, two men rushed to an automobile that had been used in the parade and took two rifles from under the seats and began firing. Officer Owens fell at the first volley and the sailor was shot and fell dead over the prostrate body of the policeman a few seconds later. By this time the air was thick with the shouts of the great crowds attracted to the scene by the shooting. Patrols filled with policemen began to arrive and when the excited people were somewhat scattered it was then discovered that the clerk in the cigar store had been killed by a stray bullet. Leaders of Society. R. D. Jones, a white agitator who has been preying upon credulous Negroes in Chicago and elsewhere; Grover C. Redding, Joseph Fernon and his son are accused with being the instigators of an agitation which has been accounted as the reason for a series of demonstrations among the local Negroes which called for a "back to Africa" movement with the ultimate aim of driving the white man out of the "Dark Continent." Sunday was the second time that the society had paraded through the "Belt" following a meeting held in a hall in South State street. The flag feature occurred at each parade, consisting, the members say, of a fire consecration of both the American and Abyssianian emblems to the cause of liberty throughout the world. Not A Race Riot. NOT A RACE Riot. The incident was not a race riot. The casualties were caused by the over-zealousness of a Negro police officer and a meddlesome "jackie" sailor. The store clerk was an unlucky bystander who was hit by a stray bullet. Swarms of police are being kept in the "Belt" neighborhood of 35 and Indiana who are having an easy time watching the crowds of curious people who have been drawn to the scene by the "wild and wooly" stories published in the daily newspapers. In other sections of the city sailors are amusing themselves beating any lone Negroes who happen to find their way into sections outside the "Belt." In some of these incidents the sailors have come out of the fracases with whole skins. In other instances they have caught the veritable "tartars" and been made to take to the woods. mute to take to the woods. Negroes Not Alarmed The Negroes, in general, are not alarmed over the situation. They declare themselves ready to take care of any crisis which may come as the result of the Sunday night affair. No meetings will be held, but every precaution will be taken to vigorously oppose any attempts at general violence by "white mobs." The city officials do not expect any general uprising against the Negro (Continued on Page 6) GEOCERIES AND FREES Also All Nice Treatment The Tulsa Star, a good Economy 919 N. C.

They both insist that they are the innocent cause of the outbreak and that there was no intention to precipitate a disturbance of any kind. Not A Negro Movement. Not A Negro Movement. Local Negroes disavow any connection with the Jonas-Redding propaganda. They are keeping their heads and refuse to become excited about the matter. Jonas, is an irresponsible grafter who should be squelched at all hazards. Redding is a fanatic who has virtually lost his mind brooding over the question of the race going over the seas to redeem Africa from the "oppression of the white race." Wrong As Usual. The local dailies are wrong as usual. Their headlines, have displayed the habitual folly of the breed and, what was an incident that could have been closed with a simple arrest of one or two men, has been magnified into a serious race clash. The Evening Post discloses a woeful ignorance of the forces at work producing unrest among the Colored elements of the city's population, refers to the "childish minds" of Chicago's "Black Belt" as being the chief agency in creating race disturbances in the city. Negroes Not Fools. Up to this hour the Negroes have made no demonstration in connection with the unfortunate happening determining that they were in no sense, a party to the outburst. And yet they have quietly decided that if the "childish minds" of the "white press" conclude that it is wise to create a situation out of which will come a recurrence of last summer's disgrace they will meet it squarely and unafraid. In the meantime they are doing every thing in their power to assure the city authorities that they have no desire to do other than preserve the peace. VICTORY MEDALS FOR EX-SERVICE MEN WASHINGTON, D.

When filled out by the applicant, the form is to be returned to the Fort or Main Recruiting Office, accompanied by his discharge certificate or discharge order, or a true extract from this discharge certificate or true copy of discharge order, may out on certain prescribed forms which will be supplied by the Fort or Station to which the applicant applied for blanks. This true copy or true extract must be attested by a civil of qcer empowered to administer oaths, or bf an of qcer of the Regular Army. After approval of the application it will be forwarded by the Fort or Station Recruiting Officers to the Philadelphia General Supply Depot, Penna., for issue to the ex-soldier.

The applicant in case of next of kin must affirm himself as the closest of living kin in the order named above. It is anticipated at the Recruiting Officer at Oklahoma City that somewhere in the neighborhood of 80,000 Victory Medals will be distributed to Oklahoma's ex-soldiers, and the distribution thereof will entail a great deal of labor on the part of the Recruiting Office at Oklahoma City. The Victory Medal as designed for World's War Veterans is of bronze, pendant from a ribbon of the now familiar rainbow hues. The ribbon itself, in the case of overseas men, is pendant from certain battle clasps, varying in numbers according to the countries served in by the soldier, or the battles or campaigns taken part in, or defense zones occupied by him.

These movements of the Colored people from the Southern States THE TULSA STAR, Saturday, June 26, 1920 Bullet of South Carolina, made a speech in which he declared that the "South will never grant civil rights to the Negro."

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM SILENT ON EQUAL RIGHTS Southern Republican Fire-Eater Unnerves Members of Platform Committee. (Star News Service) ST. PAUL, Minn., June 25.—The time honored usage of the National Republican Convention include in its party pronouncements some high sounding expression of its desire for the enforcement of the XIV and XV amendments to the constitution was abandoned this year, and aside from a formal and meaningless reference to lynching, the 1920 republican platform is barren of anything which could be construed or interpreted into anything which could serve as an inspiration for enthusiasm in the hearts of the Colored Republican Brother. The Colored Brother made a valiant fight. For instance, there is the Liberty League and Rosegoon Conkling Sig which convened not so long ago, the purpose of which was to prescribe exactly what the Negro must have and what he certainly would not do without. Then during the recent national republican meeting there were in Chicago the most noted, most able and eloquent orators and leaders of the Race gathered from all points of the compass. Yet, and yet again, so far as the platform is concerned there is absolutely, so far as any one can see it, nothing doing for the Negro. The Editor of the St. Paul Appeal, for years the leading Negro republican journal of Minnesota, commenting on this situation writes as follows: "The Republican platform adopted at Chicago is made up of the usual array of "glittering generalities." Some of the planks are good and some are very bad. The antlvaching plank is a namby-pamby affair in which the party urges instead of pledges relief. Efforts were made to have a strong equal rights plank adopted and several offered, but all missed fire, principally because a Southern fire-eater, former Senator Marion A ially in the South where our people are tried, guilty or not, and are always found guilty.—The Colored Churchman, (Wheeling, West Va.) So long as the white man continues to ignore those of our group who are the best prepared to represent the race, just so long will the white man have the wrong notion of what the Negro calls social-justice and the Golden Rule.—The Black Dispatch. Public Sentiment Must Change. In order to bring about the proper solution of the problems at issue, sentiment must be changed—not sentiment among black people so much, but sentiment among the white people. The white man must be educated out of and away from his prejudices.—The Atlanta (Ga.) Independent. Look At This buy and sell all kinds of Second Furniture. Call the Blue Front Furniture Company , N.

RACIAL DISCRIMINATION is the direct cause for much of the friction between the races and the only sane remedy for these spasmodic outbursts of race hatred is a strict and honest application of the Golden Rule. There can be no true democracy in any country where the principles of this rule are unknown or ignored. "THE SOUTH will never grant civil rights to the Negro."—Senator Marion Butler of South Carolina member of platform committee at National Republican Convention. Nor will any other section of the country, Senator, as long as the black man depends solely and blindly upon your party to protect his rights, political and civil. The Colored man must look to the big hearted, fair minded men of all political parties to secure a guarantee of his rights. The republican party has been in power for the greater part of fifty years and all these years they have been giving the democrats hell in a well directed plan to make votes among Colored men for the G. O. P., instead of doing something in a tangible way to secure our rights. Fifty years is long enough for any one party to fool the black man. If after so long a time the G. O. P. has failed to deliver the goods then there must be something wrong with their religion. Let's try the democrats awhile. They certainly can not do less for us. "BLACK BILLY" AND THE DEBATE.

Mr. Hill was the scholar and the gentleman, and therefore master of the situation throughout, and 2 that the masses of our group are greatly in need of intelligent Bible instruction, such as Mr. Hill's opponent apparently was not able to give. It was made manifest early in the debate that "Black Billy PAGE EIGHT . MEMBER OF MICRO PRIZE THE ASSOCIATED FIRST IN SERVICE OUR POLITICAL FAITH OUR RELIGIOUS FAITH.

(MusKOGEE, Okla., June 25.—Short, beautiful and impressive were the funeral services held last Sunday at the First Baptist Church over the remains of Mr. John Matthews, who died in Kansas City Wednesday, June 16, John Matthews was a graduate of the M. T. H. School, Class of 1915 and he attended Kansas University for one year and a half. John became a victim of the dread T. B. and had spent two years in Alburquerque N. Mex., trying vainly to regain his health. He had returned to Kansas City with purpose of going to California, but death stepped in and altered his plans for eternity. How pitiful it is to see this young man who was so well prepared to do life's battles in a creditable manner snatched away just at the threshold of his manhood. He had been a member of the Apollo Quartette the first and most famous of the M. T. H. S. musical organizations. While on sick bed he had taken a business course and had engaged in Albuquerque in the auto-truck business and was doing fine. His love for music was the keynote of the services given at the church in memory of his active interest. The M. T. H. S. chorus sang and resolutions were read by Miss Chandler of the Alumni. Attorney Bruce read the obituary and resolutions of his class were read by Miss Earnest. The exercises closed with a prayer by Rev. Johnson and the singing of "Perfect Day" his favorite. And thus closed the life of John Matthews, may he rest in peace. The music was arranged and conducted by his former instructor, Mrs. L. C. Clark.
