A good purl of BB Oklahoma, ns you prob.ibly know, has BB just been open for settlement it few BB years. I hrlievo that every Christian BB denomination is represented. The BB eiders who are tiavoling in this countiy BB hnve to meet nil kinds of nrgiiment on BB account of the grcaideversity of opinion, BB The Lord's work is piojjresBlm; here BB ns in other placos, hut vo need more BBJ elders, ns Is tliu caso in many other BB places.
