OKLAHOMA NEWS NOTES.
(These notes were late reaching the
office. They should have appeared
last week.) :
A Home Missionary Convention was
held at the Ardmore church February
18 to 20. Mrs. Minnie Sype was pres-
ent and gave us very valuable assistance.
She delivered the opening address Fri-
day night, Elder G. F. Eichman our
Union Conference Home Missionary
Secretary gave a stirring sermon Sab-
bath morning on “The Relation of the
Church to the Finishing Work.’” The
various lines of home missionary
work were taken up and discussed Sab-
bath and Sunday. The Ardmore
church gave us a hearty welcome and
showed their keen interest in this im-
portant branch of the work by a splen-
did attendance at all the services. All
felt that the meetings were profitable.
We hope we may have such conven-
tions in various parts of the conference
more often.
Sister A. L. Sanders reports a good
interest at Binger where Elder Dasent
has been holding a series of meetings.
_ They have a Sabhath School of thirteen
members and eight persons in the bap-
tismal class, She reports the work
progressing and the prospects bright.
Miss Lehman and Miss Uhrig, our
office stenographers, spent a pleasant
week-end at Enid. Brother and Sister
C. C. Uhrig are leaving Oklahoma.
They plan to locate in western Texas
near Amarillo.
A report comes back to the office of
an interesting program held at the
Enid church February 26 in the interest
of the Institutional Relief. Orders for
books and donations to this work
amounted to more than $50. We are
pleased for the splendid interest in this
important campaign.

“For if thou altogether holdest thy
peace at this time, then shall there en-
largement and deliverance arise to the
Jews from another place, but thou and
thy father’s house shall be destroyed:
and who knoweth whether thou art
come to the kingdom for such a time
as this ?”’
Every informed Seventh-day Adven-
tist knows that the experience of God’s
people in the days of Esther and Mor-
deeai was typical of what may be ex-
pected in the last days; and the ques-
tion raised in the text quoted above
ought to ring in our ears in a very
personal way, leading us to inquire,
‘““What kind of a time is this in which
we are living?’
By way of preparation for this time,
our Saviour left a definite warning
concerning prevailing conditions just
before His return, when He said, *‘And
because iniquity shall abound, the love
of many shall wax cold.”” Then the
servant of God, commenting upon this
condition tells us that, ‘‘At this time,
a time of overwhelming iniquity—a
