The Negro State Fair will be held on the above dates at the Ranch of J. Coody Johnson, six miles north of Wewoka. The Fair bids fair to be the greatest ever put over by the Colored people of the State. The location is an ideal one for this exhibition being located in the heart of a 2500 acre ranch, in the best agricultural district in the county or state. The idea of having a Negro State Fair originated with J. Coody Johnson, who is the founder and president of the Fair association. The object of the Fair is to promote and encourage agriculture and live stock raising among the Negro citizens of our state. Too many of our people are leaving the farm for the already over-crowded cities, and increasing the high cost of living, and in order to bring our people up to their true worth we are offering premiums for live stock, agriculture and domestic art Exhibits. The Negro has this assurance that he will have a chance to compete for prizes against members of his own race to be judged by judges of his own selection. Here is a chance to encourage your boy and girl to do something that will be a credit as well as profit to themselves. Just what you produce and exhibit will be shown at the fair. If you have a fine horse, cow, pig or other domestic animal bring them to the Fair. The good housewife will have a chance to compete with other women of her own nationality, in cooking, needle work, and all other arts in which women are interested. Premiums will be given to the boys and girls Clubs for their exhibits. There is no better way to advertise your business, than by bringing an exhibit to the Fair. The grounds are located on a beautiful elevation where you can see the surrounding country for miles, on J. Coody Johnson's vast ranch, the finest ranch and farms owned by any Negro in Oklahoma. The grounds are electric lighted, at night, and present a picture long to be remembered. It is easy of access, being on the main highway through Seminole County. State Highway from all points east and west, north and south lead to this Fair ground. A few gallons of gasoline will bring you in your "car" with the whole family to the greatest fair ever attempted by Negroes, here you can have four days of real pleasure. Amusements of all kinds for all classes of people. A splendid race track is being prepared where horse races, auto races and cycle races will take place, some of the best horses owned by our people will be at the fair. Airplanes in which you can ride and see the whole country will make daily ascensions. J. COODY JOHNSON, Pres. VIRGINIA DAVIDSON, Secy. HAMPTON ALUMNI GIVE $2500 SCHOLARSHIP Honor Miss Mary F. Mackie—Also Pledge $2700 for "Booker T. Washington." (By Wm. Anthony Aery) HAMPTON, Va., Aug. 12.—The members of the Hampton Institute Alumni Association at their final meeting in Golden Hall subscribed, in cash and pledges, within a half an hour $2700. Of this amount, $2,500 will be given to Hampton Institute to establish a permanent scholarship in memory of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, who was graduated in 1875 and who founded Tuskegee Institute in 1881. William M. Reid of Portsmouth, Va., president of the Association, presented Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, a check for $2,500—the gift of the Association for the "Mary F. Mackie Scholarship," in memory of the teacher who helped so largely in the training of Dr. Washington. The Hampton Institute Alumni --- Location THE TULSA STAR Association, which was founded in 1878. Has already given to Hampton Institute two permanent $2,500 scholarships in honor of Gen. Samuel C. Armstrong and Dr. Hofls E Crissell. The campaign for scholarship funds will continue. COMMENCEMENT CULLINGS Langston Summer Normal closed in a blaze of glory that will be reflected by the many student-teachers, who have gone from its walls to teach the youth of Oklahoma to be the future leaders of its race. The public school music department gave a very creditable and interesting evening under its leader, Mrs. L. C. Clork of Muskogee. The teachers entered into the spirit of the occasion with all the abandon of children. There was no hesitation nor stiffness every one taking part in songs of all seasons, play ground games, folk dances, etc. The exhibit of music (written) was indeed fine and reflected much credit upon the teachers and the school. The Baccalaureate address to the class of 1920 by Senator Goiobie, of Guthrie was indeed fine and awakened much enthusiasm and applause from the large and appreciative audience. The choir rendered some fine selections, class day exercises of Wednesday night were out of the ordinary. It was a playlet conceived of fostered by Prof. Fort of Okmulgee, in which the President of the class after reading a book on the transmigration of souls, falls asleep and many noted characters appear to her after the play, the student body entertained the seniors with a reception which was very enjoyable. On Tuesday night, Miss Beulah Douglas, head of Instrumental Music department and Madame Shelor, Voice Department, gave a joint recital which was indeed fine. The voice and piano number called forth much applause and much credit is due the above named ladies for their work. After this recital, President and Mrs. Marquess entertained the faculty with an enjoyable reception. Mrs. Marquess is the soul of hospitality and no one left until way after the light blinked. Thursday was Commencement night and the address was made by Rev. Johnson of Guthrie and the diplomas were given by President Marquess after a very forceful and snappy address. Mr. and Mrs. Saddler gave a beautiful reception to the class of 1920, and the faculty. Mrs. Saddler made a very charming hostess. Miss Kennedy, also entertained the seniors. This summer normal was said to be the very best held at Langston, every available space was occupied by teachers, even the new laundry housed many of them. Long live Langston! No Color Question At Bible Student's Convention. The Hon. Richard J. Hill, the well known writer on religious topics for The Tulsa Star, has returned to the city after attending the convention of the International Bible Students' at Columbus, Ohio and at Scranton, Pa. Mr. Hill says these meetings were attended by nearly 3,000 delegates and representatives of nearly every race on the globe were there. The presence of many of the most learned Bible scholars in the world made the meeting most important. He says one of the most remarkable incidents of these conventions was the entire absence of any question of race or color, every one was on an absolute equality. Mr. Hill enjoyed his trip in highest degree. Johnson's Trial Deferred. (A. N. P. Service) CHICAGO, III., Aug 12.—The hearing of Jack Johnson, the noted pugilist, has been set back until September 14th. Judge George A. Carpenter set the date back at the request of Johnson's counsel. Weekly Mail Edition TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1920. LANGSTON U. WILL ENTERTAIN WOMEN'S FEDERATION LANGSTON U. WILL ENTERTAIN WOMEN'S FEDERATION Identify Marquess Proposes to Endtain the Delegates Free Of Charge. (Star News Service) LANGSTON, Okla., Aug 12. Through the versatile enterprise and serious consideration of Prof. J. M. Marquess, President of Langston University, the Women of Oklahoma in connection with the annual meeting of the Women's Federation in this month are to have an opportunity altogether remarkable and unusual in their history. This association is called to meet at Langston, Okla., on Thursday and Friday, August 26th and 27th, and on this occasion, President Marquess, to quote his own words, has "assumed the responsibility of entertaining all the delegates to this Federation, free of charge." This no doubt unexpected proposition is it possible for the Federation to have for this year the greatest attendance in its history, for through this offer the delegates are confronted in the matter of expense, only by their railroad fare. The beautiful buildings and surroundings and the facilities of this great Oklahoma institution are to be placed at the disposal of the delegates, and amid such an environment there is every reason to believe that the deliberations of this body will be greatly facilitated. President Marquess is making every effort to provide for the entertainment of the members of the Federation and it is his hope that all the Women's Clubs in the Shale will send representatives to the meeting, thus showing appreciation of his gererous hospitality. TO THE NEGRO PHYSICIANS OF THE SEVERAL STATES: The Hospital and Health Board of Kansas City has granted privilege to the Colored Division of the General Hospital, to establish, freep of charge, an Intensive Training School in pathology and Bacteriology to all Negro Physicians in the country for one month beginning September 1, 1920. This is the first time such an offer has been made by any institution in this country. The Board has spent several thousand dollars in equipping the laboratory to make this work the most beneficial to the physicians from a practical stand point. Several hours during the day will be devoted to the work; besides clinics, covering the same line of disease dealt with in the laboratory, dealing with all phases of blood chemistry; preparation and administering of vaccines and Auto-thereapy. Specialists from different portions of the country will appear before the clinic and in addition to this treatment will be given a special course in municipal Hygiene, including the protection and care of the milk supply; the water supply and the handling of the garbage systems and the control of quarantines of all descriptions of municipality. A coterie of assistants and specialists under the supervision of Dr. Win, J. Thompkins, who is Super-independent of the Hospital will aid in making this course what the physicians in this country most need. It is the purpose of this institution to help those men of the profession who desire additional scientific and technical knowledge so essential in deriving at a positive diagnosis in the handling of their case, thereby rendering high efficiency in their work with a high standing of the profession generally. This in brief has become the measure of the Colored division of the General Hospital of Kansas City. FAIR, Oct. 12-15 W. M. EZELL, S. G. M. The above is the likeness of Hon. W. M.

For the past week, the editor and proprietor of The Tulsa Star, has been at the Park Sanitarium, Guffinie, Okla., under the experienced and expert care of the widely known physicist, H. W. Conrad, M. D. The latest word from Dr. Conrad indicates that Mr. Smitherman is improving and that after several weeks complete rest from his unfiring and constant labors in the Star print shop during the past several months, he will be able to return and replace his "guiding hand at the helm of the greatest paper in the Southwest." The editor is a sufferer from extreme nervous exhaustion, and his many friends will be glad to welcome him back to the Star helm. MASONIC GRAND LODGE CONVENES AT BOLEY Many Noted Oklahomaans Attended Annual Session. BOLLEY, Okla., Aug 10.—The St. John Grand Lodge of F. A. and A. M. met in this city at 10 o'clock a.m. in its 20th Annual Grand Session in the Masonic Temple. More than 300 delegates and representatives from sister states are in attendance. Most Worshipful Grand Master Hon. R. Emmett Stewart announced that the delegates would assemble in convention for praise services to be conducted by Grand Chaplin G. A. Patrick, and to be presided over by P. stmaster H. Butler of Euraka Lodge, No. 14 of Guthrie, Okla. The Grand Lodge was opened in due form. The Lodges sang: "Best be the tie that binds, etc." And the acting Deputy appointed an appropriate number of he brothers to export the Grand Master to the Grand East. After a few well timed remarks the Grand Master selected A. D. Johnson of Vinita, S. Lewery, Huskell and J. L. Dixon, of Checota as a Committee on Credentials. D. W. Lewis og Kingfisher was made reporter. Dixie Cashier On Vacation. Miss Marie Brown, the handsome and efficient cashier of the popular Dixie Theatre, is planning to leave for an extended vacation which she will spend in Missouri among relatives and friends. Her tour includes Springfield, St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph, where she will spend a few days with father, brother, niece and cousin respectively. Miss Brown will be greatly missed from her accustomed station by her numerous admirers and friends who join in wishing her a pleasant trip and a safe return to Tulsa. (A. N. P. Service) CHICAGO, Ill. Aug. 11.—There is such a thing as a fellow taking himself too seriously. For instance, when a chap starts a "movement" and then straightway swallows the "movement" and caimly announces, "And now I will lead the way out of the wilderness." It just now happens that the politician is in the middle. It has been his habit not only to take himself seriously but also to take everything else he could say his rapacious hands on. He is going true to form. But there is just this one ray of hope flashing cantwise aftward the political sides of the moment. Mr. Politician is beginning to call himself names. It both appear that there are two breeds of the species, the genius Northerinus and the genus Southernus. By some terrifically unsavory means the genus Southerninus has "beef" the genus Northerinus to the first serving of the political pie. The very devil is to play, as a consequence. With characteristic perspicacity of perception, Col. Perry Howard of Mississippi who, by the way, happens to be sitting at the first table, rushes to the defense of the brethren and heatedly announces that "What the race needs is worth and efficiency, courage and tact, and not leather-lunged geographical location." This is alliteratively crushing. But it is sufficiently sensible to serve the purpose we all have in hand to achieve. The election of Harding or Cox is the main question at issue. To be squabbling about jobs at the several headquarters is "small town" stuff and is, fundamentally, unseemly and at variance with the operation of common sense at this time. It is economic and political stability which is the crying need of the hour. Breac crumbs for the few may mean starvation for the many. No North, no South, but a united Race held to gether in the pursuit of a clear interpretation of the Constitution and a sound furtherance of the finer and fuller spirit of American life, constitute our aims, and, by the Heavens, we propose to have all of this and more. To h_1 with the jobs we want freedom. "More War," is in the air. Should it come to us I feel certain that the "Colored man and brother" will respond to the call to arms with an unanimity of spirit which will sound the death knell to the further maintenance of the lynching disposition by a large and influential element of the American people. More peace to the ashes of lynching. Save your money. Only the other day the Pennsylvania Railroad discharged twelve thousand men from one of its main divisions and the rumor is that more are in line for discharge before the winter sets in. It is also announced that several of the big corporations in the West will discharge large numbers of men in the near future. Save your money. Coal and food next winter will go farther than automobile rides this summer. But then the Lord is our Shepherd, we should worry.—(W. H. A. Moore) Retires From Cafe Business. Doc Davis the well known mind reader has retired from the cafe business which he had conducted in the Gurley Building. He has sold out the fixtures and the Eastern Cafe will be succeeded by the well known and popular, Bell and Little Cafe, the proprietors of which are, Mrs. Bell and Preston Little. Spear Makes Good At Altus. (BASIC New Service) FREDEMICK, Okla.—Your correspondent and the Rev. B. J. Spears motored to Altus, Okla., last Sunday to which point the well known pastor had been called by the Odd Fellows to preach the funeral sermon over one of their brethren, Mr. Henry Hills. The discourse of Rev. Spears was highly appreciated by Larger Circulation than all the combined Colored Weeklies in Oklahoma. Read THE STAR and keep informed on all current issues. NUMBER THIRTY 12-15 those attending the ceremonies, and all were deeply impressed by his eloquence. Mrs. J. S. Netter and Mrs. W. D. Williams and her daughters also attended the funeral of Mr. Hill. The Rev. Spears, Mr. A. L. Ritchie, and Mesdames J. G. Glinn, J. E. Cotton and E. Taylor were deacons to the Western District Hospital Association which was held at Lawton, Okla., August 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8th last. The Tulsa Star is being handled in this community by the well known newspaperman, Mr. L. J. Netter and its circulation is being increased rapidly through his energy. VICTORY CELERATION PLANNED AT COLUMBUS (Reciprocal News Service). Asson as the adoption of the National Baptist Convention Program that was prepared by the executive committee in its Springfield, Ohio, session by the local people in the big victory celebration spoken of in the program to be held at the fair grounds in this city Friday, Sept., 10th. It has been learned through Dr. E. P. Jones, the President of the convention who resides in Evanston, Ill., that this will be one of the most important days of the session, and that the prominent men from all sections of the United States who have worked with the Convention for more than a quarter of a century will be among the speakers on the program. That Dr. L. L. Campbell of Austin, Tex., the head of the Baptist all over the state who has just reported that their five million dollar campaign had proven a success would be the principal speaker. In this victory celebration Rev. Dr. Hughes, who heads the local committee here said last week, that Columbus alone would donate five thousand dollars during the day. Ceremonies will take place in, the fair grounds where the state fairs are held annually and a number of brass bands from various cities in Ohio will be brought from all over the state. Riot Reports Unfounded. (A. N. P. Service) CHICAGO, Ill., Aug., 11.—The riot reported by the daily newspapers between Colored men and Italians at Chicago Heights is without foundation. There was a fight between a Colored family and a few Italians when the latter went to the house of the Colored people looking for a Hungarian who was accused of having killed an Italian last week. The Hungarian had moved and rented to the Colored family. There are about three thousand Colored men employed in the steel mills in Chicago Heights where a strike has been in progress among the Italians and this has led to some train and feeling which the news articles have magnified. Deputy Sheriff Sultan said there had been no clash. The ugly riots reported at West Fortfort, Ill., and Denver, Colo., in which mobs are reported to have killed a number of people and destroyed thousands of dollars worth of property show the unceasing tendency of the American public toward mob violence and lynch-law, said a prominent Colored official today. The Government has set suplinely by while mobs have lynched Negroes and committed other atrocities upon us and may expect to reap a whirlwind from the seeds of discontent which its indifferent attitude has permitted to spring up.

The attendance at Sunday School on the 8th proved to be a record breaker. The adult class was at its best, being presided over by the pastor. The advanced class was well represented by the young men and ladies of the neighborhood, who discussed the lesson with much intelligence. It is with pleasure that I speak of the pastor., Rev. Henry Johnson in the highest terms. He has done much to uplift his people. He has progressed slowly but surely, as we know wonders can not be achieved at once; we must be satisfied to advance in improvement as we walk, step by step. The fruit best worth waiting for, often ripens the slowest. "Time and patience," says the Eastern poet, "change the mulberry leaf to satin." The light fingered gentry of our section of town had a big week during the last six or seven days. The stealing was not confined to any particular part but reached from way out in the addition down to the busy section along Greenwood and Archer. Quite a number of persons are bemoaning the loss of hard earned savings, while the other fellows are having a brief easy time on "Easy Street." The Ladies' Home Mission has been organized and it is proving a blessing to the people. The common life of every day with its cares, necessities and duties, afford ample opportunity for acquiring experience of the best kind. These sisters plan to entertain the public with a grand social soon for the benefit of human welfare. Mrs. Thomas of 517 North Greenwood is one of the sufferers thru thieving depredations. While she was out for a few moments the other day, some scamp cut the screen door in the rear of her place, andl made a ge away with her cash box, and a gold band ring. Her loss is estimated at something like $75 or $100. Mrs. M. Golett and grand-daughter, little Alene Johnson are spending a few days at Hartshorn visiting friends. They are expected to arrive home in a few days. Mr. Robert Harris, proprietor of the East End Feed Stor, and one of the most highly respected citizens of Tulsa, will be more careful hereafter when he undertakes to hide money in his feed store. Early in the week he put a roll of bills and some other silver currency behind packages in his office, in a perfectly safe place, as he thought. A "gemman" by the name of Derby who was sitting outside, and looking in the front window, immediately had business over the telephone. Mrs. Bell of the Bell-Little Cafe, came in also to telephone while Derby had the receiver in his hands, and waited on him to get through. Mr. Harris and a customer then came in while Mrs. Bell was using the phone, and when it was necessary to make change, the absence of the roll of bills, silver and likewise Mr. Derby became evident. Mr. Harris had a warrant issued for the arrest of Derby and at the trial held last Thursday after noon, he was held for trial in the county court. The loss in this instance was about $75. Mrs. Laura Bird who has been very ill at her home is much improved of this writing. MIAMI, Fla., Aug 13.—A riot was started here last Sunday by 400 Bahama Negroes who charged the local police with an unwarranted killing of one of their number, Herbert Brooks, who had been accused of assaulting a white woman. The Bahamans declare that Brooks was innocent of the charge and threatened to burn the city. Troops are in the city and are patrolling the Negro residence section. N. P. Service) CENTER Tex., Aug. 13.—Lige Daniels, a Colored man, was lynched here last Saturday by a mob of more than a thousand. The mob stormed and wrecked the jail. Daniels was hanged on the limb of a tree in the court year. He was accused of assaulting a white woman. Mr. Smith living in the 700 block of North Hartford was the victim of some sneak thief who made way with his watch and some money. Jealousy Causes Killing. CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 11.—Dorsey Cambliss, the policeman who after a sensational trial was convicted of having lured Bertha Wiebeck (white) into a life of immorality was taken to the penitentiary recently to begin a five year term. Citizens were much interested in Chambliss' case because the daily newspapers made a race fight out of it, and strenuous efforts were made to aid Chambliss. Mrs. Emma Ross, at whose house the Wiebeck girl lived before the illness which resulted in her death, also went to prison. CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 12.—Two killings marred the peace of the Colored population in this city last Sunday. Jeanette McDuffy shot and killed her husband, Clarence, at the couple's home in south Federal st., and Eugene Cesterro, a Porto Rican shot and killed his wife at their home in south Park Avenue, and then mortally wounded himself. Cesterro was declared to be insanely jealous of his wife by neighbors and is said to have accued her with intimacy with other men. The --- 1301 North Lansing HICKORY HITS. Bahamans Back Up Same Old Thing. couple quarreled frequently. The murder was discovered by a policeman. Mrs. McDuffy stated to the police that her husband was very cruel and often threatened to kill her. She said that he came home Sunday drunk and commenced to fight her. In the fear that he would kill her, she shot him. She is being held by the police. COLORED HELP WANTED Help wanted at all times. Call at 107 East Second street.

H. world is now in a time of great trouble that millions of broken hearts are in the land, millions of widows and orphans weeping and beaming the loss of their loved ones, because of the devastation of the great war, the pestrience that has swept the earth for the past few years. Taking advantage of this condition of sorrow, Satan, is putting toth his doctrine, as an Angel of Light attempting to comfort the sad hearts by telling them again that their loved ones are not dead but are alive and progressing along the way to greater happiness; if he succeeds in doing this what has he done? He has turned away the minds of the people from the great word of truth, the redemptive plan of salvation, and thus seemingly accomplish his purpose of turning them away from God. This is the reason why Spiritualism is so prevalent in the land today. But, we thank God this condition will not long prevail. It is with joy that we can state confidently that within a few more years the dark veil of ignorance that overhangs the earth shall be lifted and the blindness that now afflicts the people will be turned away and they shall learn that Jehovah is the Great God of Love, that Jesus is the Rededeemer and through his kingdom they can obtain the blessings of Resurrection and Restitution. In the course of these articles we confidentially expect to show to the reasonable mind that the time for the overthrow of Satan's Empire is at hand, that the time for the establishment of Messiah's Kingdom is at the door, and in consequence thereof the great tide of sorrow, sickness and death shall be turned back and that millions of people now living on earth and coming to a knowledge of the truth and accepting it, and rendering themselves in obedience to the Lord's law, shall live and not die. Then we can confidentially say that at this very time there are millions on earth who will never die, not because they are immortal, but because the time draws near for the beginning of Restitution blessings and we have confidence that when the people come to a knowledge of the truth that they will joyfully embrace these blessings and come readily up over the highways of Holiness, back to life, Strength, Health and Blessings. Refiliation will mean the bringing back of the human race to a state of perfection, that is to say, all those who are obedient under Christ's reign, and during that time the earth itself will be restored to a condition, beautiful and grand like unto the Garden of Eden, being made a fit habitation for man. We have come to the point where all thoughtful persons would desire to know why do the majority of the preachers teach error? The proper answer to this question in a short way is found in the fifty-sixth chapter of Isiah 10-11 verses, be sure and read it. Ecclesiasicism or the Great Church System of the world, is made up of Diverse and numerous Sect, and each one of these Sect has its own Clergymen who teach Diverse and numerous theories, inconsistent with themselves and each other. One class of preachers (Priests) have long taught and do yet teach that at death a certain class of men go to Purgatory, there to remain for an --- Listen, Dear People of the public, I am reliably informed that some of the would-be-wise ministers have told their congregations that my writings on Bible subjects do not amount to anything but that they will answer them every Sunday from their pulpits. Now listen again, if these writings do not amount to anything, why take the time to answer them? and again, why do they not accept my challenge and call me on the carpet before the public and show me up through the Scriptures? Their attempt to answer my writings by attacking them from their on private pulpits behind my work is just like a man who would lay in the bushes and assassinate anponent if perchance he could eep from being caught. in order that you, dear people, you know that I am in great earn- and desire to enlighten you, con- nuring God's plan of Salvation, I wish it understood that while I am poor man and look to God to tea the way for my living, while his side of the vale, I will pay all essary expenses anywhere in the state of Oklahoma to secure a super public place for my opponents to meet me before the public and clear themselves, through the scriptures of the charges that I have ide and are making against them dear people, you should inform the ministers that there must be something wrong with their teach- ings as a reason they will not de- pend themselves before my face and the public. 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 space weekly for subject of the lecture and any possible change in date. Subject for Sunday, August 15, will be entitled "THE GOSPAL L OF THE KINGDOM." Friends come and hear for yourselves the only consoling message during these times of great perplexity. It costs you nothing but your time. Seats are free and no collection. RICHARD L. HILL. (Continued From Last Week) At the time of Jesus' death, man had been going into the grave covering a period of four thousand years, and two thousand years since his crucifixion have they continued to die and practically all of them without any knowledge of God's provision through Christ for their salvation. It would be impossible, therefore, for them to have a knowledge of the truth without first being awakened out of death. Therefore Jesus said: "All that are in their graves shall come forth. The good unto a resurrection of life, and they that have done evil (who are all except the true followers of Christ) unto a resurrection by judgments." John 5: 28-29 R. V.). The judgment here implies a trial, because there can be no judgment without a trial. There can be no trial first without knowledge, for the reason that even the laws of the land do not permit a man to be tried without his knowledge. Consequently, first will be the awakening of the dead. Second, they are brought to a knowledge of the truth. And third, they are put on trial for life. The Apostle then makes clear what shall follow, and saying: "Times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. And he shall send Jesus Christ, who 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. For Moses truly said unto the Fathers, "A Prophet (meaning Christ, of which Moses was a type) shall your God be unto you of his brethren like unto me. (The antitype of Moses) Jim shall ye hear (Obey) in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you." (Acts 3: 19-24). Restitution means to restore that which was lost. Father Adam lost all through his obedience. What did he have to loose? We answer, he had the right to life everlasting, the right to full liberty of the earth and happiness complete. Man has ever been seeking these things yet unable to acquire them. Jesus, by his death and resurrection, bought them all for mankind. When he sets up his kingdom he will have at his disposal to give to the obedient ones these very things: viz. Life, Liberty and Happiness. Satan, the Arch enemy of the human race has ever desired to turn the people away from Jehovah and his plan. Jehovah has permitted, or rather restrained him—to go his full limit and in due time Jehovah will make the wrath of the Adversary redound to his praise. Satan and the Demons will know that the RICHARD J. HILL indefinite season, and that the Clergymen have power to say prayers and Masses to relieve them from their Purgatory suffering. This has proven to be a fruitful source of money making. This class of preachers have always had their members to understand that no one is ever relieved from Purgatory under a thousand years, and thus the Clergymen set a date so far ahead that no living person could ever pay the bill and therefore the obligation would descend from one generation to another. Still another class of preachers teach that God long ago fore-ordained and predestined that a few persons would be saved in a Heaven of eternal bliss while the great mass of mankind, without reference to anything that they have ever done or ever will do, must spend their eternity in endless torment. In another way of putting it, they claim that the destiny of each individual is fixed without the individual's knowledge or consent. Another class of preachers hold and teach that God offers freely to every man the opportunity for salvation in Heaven, and that any one who misses that home of endless bliss does so by his own fault. Another and more modern school of Clergymen, teach that man is a creature of evolution, springing from protoplasm and developing stage by stage from baboon to monkey and monkey to man, and continuing to progress until sometime in the endless ages to come he will reach a stage of perfection. There was a time when most of the Sects claimed to believe in and teach the Bible as God's word of truth, but the more modern schools style themselves, (Higher Critics), "Savants." They deny the inspiration of the Scriptures, and hold that they are wiser than the men of old who wrote the Bible. The time was when these various schools of Theology were at war with each other, some going to the extreme of burning each other at the stake because of different views. In modern times however, they observing that their inconsistencies were so glaring, have sought a common union basis, each being willing to give up his pet theory and subscribe to no doctrine at all except an agreement to work together in the formation and maintenance of an Ecclesiastical Trust. To accomplish their purpose they have united with the financial and political powers of the world. Many thinking people have long been observing the inconsistencies of the theories advanced by the majority of preachers, and necessarily have come to the conclusion that some of them if not all of them are teaching error. The result has been that many honest minded persons have been driven away from the churches, from the study of the Bible and from the Lord. The preachers realizing this fact have endeavored and are endeavoring to rally their forces and organize a general system whereby they can all stand together, Mr. William T. Ellis, writer of "The Religious Rambler," one of America's most reliable authorities upon current religious events, referring to the present condition of Ecclesiasticism says: "I find all men profoundly concerned over present conditions. Nothing is too venerable or sacred to escape the challenge of the war. The very PAGE THREE existence of God has been called into question. The Christian Church is at her crisis. It is frankly admitted that sectarianism must go into the war scrap-heap." Here is a statement that after many centuries churchity stands admittedly before the world a complete failure. The people of the world know that the preachers are teaching errors and naturally they ask the question, "Why do they do it?" The present condition of things, fore-told, by the Lord's servants, Holy men of Old as they were moved upon by the Holy Spirit or invisible power of Jehovah. (2nd Peter 1: 21). The Divine mind fore-knew all things that would transpire and caused a record of certain prominent events to be made in advance. Prophecy, is therefore history written in advance of the happening of events. Only the Divine mind could have fore-known and fore-told such events. In this day and time it is not at all uncommon for preachers to be asked by some of their lay-members and explanation of some phases of the Scripture. A preacher always assumes to be a learned man and invariably he will answer his interrogator that the Bible cannot be understood by the laymen even though it was explained to him. In fact we hear very little explanation of the Bible any more. The most of the preachers have become indifferent to the teachings of the Lord, and are sleep as to the importance of events now transmitting. Through the products the Lord fore-told this condition saying: "For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep and bath closed your eyes; the preachers, rulers, the users hath he covered. And a vision (Understanding of his plan) of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, read (explain) this, I pray thee; and he sayth, I cannot for it is sealed." (Isa. 29: 10-11). The apostles of Old speak of themselves as servants of God. The modern Clergymen take the name of "D.D." and call themselves the watchmen of their respective flocks, claiming to be God's watchmen. Of this chass the Prophet of the Lord wrote: "His watchmen are blind. They are all dum dogs (D. D.s). They cannot bark, sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber, (loving case and comfort). Yea they are greedy Dogs which can*never have enough and they are Shepherds that cannot understand (Nor teach the truth). They all look to their own way, every one for his gain (Collection and honors) from his quarter (Sect or system)." Ish. 56: 10 11. Before an architect attempts to construct a building he first provides himself with a well defined plan and he works accordingly. The builder could not properly construct it without such a plan. It is most reasonable to conclude that the Great Jehovah God had a well defined plan before he began to deal with the human race. The scripture proves that he did have such a plan. "Known unto God were all his works from the beginning of the world." (Act. 15: 19). This plan, of course, has been kept secret from both men and Angels, and has been unfolded gradually and in Jehovah's due time. The mere fact that he has a time and that he does unfold it in a timely and orderly way leads to the inevitable conclusion that it is his purpose to permit those to understand it who diligently seek to understand it. He did not promise to reveal this unto the heady nor to those who are wise in their own wisdom. On the contrary, we read: "The meek will he guide in Judgment; The meek will he teach his ways." God resisteth the proud and showeth his favor to the humble minded." (1st Peter 5: 6). It would not be expected, therefore, that Jehovah would reveal his plans unto those who are wise in their own conceit. On the contrary, his prophets wrote: "The secrets of the Lord is with them that reverence him." (Psalms 25: 14). To reverence God means to recognize that he is the Great First cause, without beginning, without end, whose wisdom is without limitation, whose power is infinite, whose justice's eternal and whose love is boundless. The man who attempts to please any earthly thing above hins obligation to Jehovah cannot be said to reverence God within the meaning of the Scriptures. The preacher that places his faith above the loyal and faithful service of God cannot be said to reverence Jehovah. The Clergyman or any one else who would attempt to please man or to place his country or nation above, and as of greater importance than the faithful service of Jehovah cannot be said to reverence God. The one who reverences Jehovah recognizes that the world and the fullness thereof as nothing in his site. The Prophet has expressed the thought of such a one thus: "Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hands, and meted out Heaven with the span and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hill in a balance? Who hath directed the spirit of the Lord, or being his (Continued on Page 5). TULSAS COLORED BUSINESS DIRECTORY PAGE FOUR TULSA Church Directory M1 ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. Corner Easton and Eigin.

With whom took he council? And who instructed him and taught him the path of Judgment, and taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding? Behold the nations are as a drop of water in a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance. Behold he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. And Lebanon is not sufficient to be burned, nor the beast; thereof sufficient for a burnt offering. All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, vanity. To whom then will ye liken God? Or what likness will ye compare unto him?" (Isiah. 40: 12-18). The first thing essential to the understanding of Jehovah's plan is a full and unreserved consecration to do God's will. This means that such a one will never seek to please himself, man made organizations or systems, when to do so would run counter to the will of God. To ascertain God's will he must study his word, namely, the Bible, and once ascertaining it, do his will without fear of man or hope of promised earthly reward. God promised that in due time his plan would be unfolded to man. His due time to unfold it to the true Christians preceeds the time for its unfolding to the world in general. Jehovah showed the Prophet Daniel a vision of events to transpire covering a long period of time and ending in a time immediately proceeding the full establishment of Messiah's Kingdom on the earth. Daniel did not understand the meaning of vision, because it was not intended to be understood in his time. Daniel said: "I heard but I understood not." In other words of explanation and yet did not comprehend their meaning. Then he said, "Oh my Lord what shall be the end of these things?" And he (Jehovah) said: "Go thy way, Daniel for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. Many shall be purified MRS. BELL P. WILLIS. Mid Wife A Special treatment for Female hours.

JEFFERSON, Proprietor. A. and made white and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly and none of the wicked shall understand but the wise shall understand." (Daniel 12: 8-19). Bible Chronology shows that "The time of the end," is a period of years during which period those who reverence Jehovah will be permitted to understand his secrets or plan and that these are they who are termed "wise," not according to earthly wisdom, but wise according to God's manner. The modern Clergyman do not pretend to study and teach the Bible, but they study theology—man-made theories. They call in question the very authenticity of the Holy Scriptures and depend upon the wisdom of the world. Concerning such class it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?" 1st Cor. 1: 19-20). Jehovah revealed to Daniel and caused him to record certain things as a key-note in order that the Godly wise might understand, saying: "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." During the past half century wonderful methods of transportation have come into existence. The railways gird the earth. The great steam ships plow with rapidity the mighty seas. The air-ships fly a birds from place to place, and thus the powers of electricity, steam and gas have brought the people in close contact with each other to witness a great running to and fro such as the world before has never known. At the same time there has become a marvelous increase of knowledge along every line. The modern preachers look wise and say: "Behold what man has as complished!" The Reverent student of God's word points to Daniel's prophecy and says: "Behold Divine testimony enabling us to determine where we are on the stream of time!" Most of the preachers are wise in their own wisdom and understand not. The meek persons who reverence God, are wise ac Jack Dennis Barber Service THE TULSA STAR, Saturday, August, 14, 1920 cording to the Divine order and they travel land and rejoice in the unfolding of Jehovah's plan. The reverent student of God's word learns and jehovah, through his Prophets long ago described in detail the railway train speeding thru the land and the conductor, gathering up the tickets of his passengers and the train unloading its burdens at the station (Nahum 2; 2-6) and they also recognized this as another evidence that we are in the time of the preparation of the setting up of Messiah's Kingdom. The same student finds that the modern airship which has astounded the world and for which the wise of the world have applauded man, was foretold centuries ago by the prophets of the Lord. (Isah, 60: 8). The wise student is again reminded of wireless telegraphy, which has repositioned communication among men in modern times, was centuries more-told by Divine wisdom in his Holy Word. And he begins to realize that God has a great plan and that the time is due for the meek and teachable to understand it. The Clergy as a rule ignore the Divine word, and relies upon man-made wisdom and therefore they are in the dark and do not understand the great plan of Salvation. I beg to warn the preachers that the time has come when the world is demanding the whole truth on all subjects, and those who claim to be the representatives of God will have to clean clean and true on this Bible question or get cut of the way. Friends, you may be surprised when I make the following charges against the majority of preachers. They stand guilty before God in that they have misrepresented his Great Plan of Salvation. They are guilty before the laws of the land in that they have been receiving money, honors and things of value under false defense. They have busied themselves making the people believe that if they (The People) would say them (The Preachers) good, fataries, build fine church houses, keep up church dues, etc., a Heaven of eternal bliss would be their portion at death but if they did other wise a life of eternal misery in irre and brimstone would be their lot. As a matter of fact, there is not one word in the Bible supporting such doctrine and no preacher worthy of the name will attempt to prove such blasphemous doctrine by the Bible. And yet with a full knowledge of the falsity of their claim, they have collected millions in money and lived a life of ease and slumber. They are plainly guilty under the laws of the United States for receiving money under false pretence. Now I am fully aware that the charges I am making against the majority of the preachers of the world is not calculated to make my friends except among those whose hearts are right and who desire to please the Lord at any cost. But just here I wish to say that I am the friend of both my friends and foes and my whole life is consecrated to the Lord to do his will at any cost and therefore it matters not e what the results of my telling the truth may be. I do this in the sense of a broad-minded friend giving warning to those who will be warned and enlightening those who are teachable; therefore I shall not stop until the strong-holds of error are completely demolished and the world be enlightened to the fact that the hope for humanity is restitution through the resurrection of the dead. By RICHARD J. HILL. (A. N. P. Service) The pet crime of the nation—Lynching—has reached it's zenith. More than twenty years of continual protest on the part of the American Negroes, through leaders, organizations and newspapers of the group, has at last found apostleship within the circles of power. Lynching was born nourished and cherished in the South. The Polish power of its virile germs has been carried "with malice aforethought" into the remotest corners of the nation by the carefully "discriminating" news wires of the Associated Press and the painstaking propoganda of its writers. The benevolent disease has demonstrated, beyond contradiction, its ability to thrive and flourish everywhere—yes, everywhere. It has blazed its way with sinister and jocular indifference thru the "color line," through youth and age, through men and women of honor and innocence, through the sacred tissues of expectant mothers, and through the peaceful quiet of the country side, as well as the busy, bustling centers of the great city. To the low moan of the praying Negroes, their outstretched hands of righteousness appeal, the soft but steady and mighty tread of the migrating tens of thousands to climes of protection and safety, have recently been added the roaring voice of the daily newspapers, North, South, East and West; the wails of anxiety of the white clergy and political leaders, and the unyielding bullets of equal and exact justice, under the general direction of the great commonwealth of North Carolina, and its fearless Governor T. W. Bickett. With such a combination of effort, Lynch Law has reached its crest. It must go! The most powerful instrumentality in the world is public sentiment. In the face of it, empires and kingdoms have crumbled to earth; human slavery has been abolished; bolshevism has marched westward with terrible potentialities, and with it, lynching must go. Without public sentiment definitely crystalized against lynching, there has been but meager possibility of success in throttling the onrush of these barbaric performances. Now that recent events have sickened the most pessimistic, the hour for action has come, and with unfinishing unity of purpose, something worth while will happen for all time to come. It is very plain that our power in the premises, is unlimited. We now, today, must use every ounce of our ability and strength to back up the forces now in action. We must rise to the opportunity, and let there be nothing regarded as more important at this hour than settling this damnable business forever. There must be no flinching—and there will not—and there must be no equivocation. The blood of the innocent dead cries out for action; and unborn generations hold us to account. Certain proposals are made. They all look forward to a final settlement of the terrible evil. Some say let the state be supreme, others say let the nation. We say: "Lynching Must Be Stopped Now. The Respect For Law Must Be Supreme, If The State Is Not Equal To The Occasion, The Nation Must Be Lynching—The Nation's Pet Crime—Must Be Wiped From The Face Of The Earth. It Has Cut The Heart Strings Of Humanity And Startingly Rocked The Foundation Of American Civilization." PUBLICATION NOTICE First Published in The Tulsa Star, Saturday, August 14, 1920.

Distinguished Mosiac In Town. The Hon. W. M. Ezell, S. Grand Master of the Oklahoma Grand Lodge of Mosiac Templars of America, was a distinguished arrival in Tulsa early in the past week. S. G. M. Ezell is one of the leading citizens of Haskell and has for years been identified with the commercial and financial interests of his home town. He has been prominently connected with the establishment and growth of the order of Mosiac Templars in the State of Oklahoma, and very much of its present creditable showing both as to membership and financial standing is due to his persistent efforts. He is in the city to complete final arrangements for the holding of the Eighth Annual Grand Session of the State Grand Lodge of Mosiac Templars of America, Oklahoma Jurisdiction, which is to convene here on August 16, 17 and 18, at Myer's Hall on East Archer. It is expected that this meeting will attract fully as large delegations from Oklahoma cities as did the other two fraternal order which met in Tulsa during July. S. G. M. Ezell is a gentleman of most pleasing manners, and possessed of high degree of talent and culture. Tulsa Lady Recovers Health.

THE NEWS DISPATCHES convey the information that Senator Harding proposes to split the Solid South and that Governor Cox will strive to keep it solid. This is a waste of valuable energy and time by both of the national party candidates for the presidency. THE COLORED REPUBLICAN LEADERS who are flitting in and out of the National Republican headquarters at Chicago have put aside the question of "human rights" temporarily and are engaged in a free for all combat over the matter of "geography." The Northern Colored Republicans who actually vote and aid in election of republican electors to sit in the Electoral College, are finding fault with the selection of Henry Lincoln Johnson by the National Committee to manage the Colored Republican Bureau during the campaign. The Northern Colored Republicans point out that Henry Lincoln Johnson represents a part of the country where Colored men cast no votes and which possibly with one or two exceptions has had no republican elector, either before or since Heck was a pup. While none of our beans are spilled by this controversy, we feel that our Northern republican opponents are entirely Justified in their position in this matter. But the question of "geography" was not considered by National Chairman Will Hays, when he appointed Mr. Johnson of Georgia to this post of duty. Henry Lincoln Johnson was chosen for no other reason and simply because at the late national republican convention he was able to corral for his services more money than any other Colored man—more than any white man participating in the convention. It was Mr Hays' opinion, do bless that a man this expert in selling, would be equally nifty in the art of buying. The gifted and thoroughly experienced National Chairman, Mr. Hays, knows that with the elimination of "buying" from the political campaign practice of the party, the rank and file of Henry Lincoln Johnson's followers would lose heart and their enthusiasm would become limp as a dishrag.
