Socie KANS Volume VIII "WITHIN THE LA ALL-STAR CAST O BISHOP WILLIAM JOHNSON MAKES STIRRING TALK Sealy, Texas. — Wonderful progress is being made by our people in this country, and the longer I learn the more I live, and the more pleased I am with this world, yet now and then I meet some few things which cause me to lay aside my religion long enough to say a few cuss words, and then I pick it up again and go right on to serving my Jesus. It is a good thing to have that good old time religion that will make you look upon death as only changing worlds. "Cussing" is an awful wicked thing, and I don't see to save my life why any man would want to indulge in such wicked thing. I'm sure I don't, and I am some pumpkins in this world. I have made my contribution to civilization, although it may not be much, but it was all I had, and if I can get hold of any more I will make additional contributions. When I wrote to you last week, I was in another part of big Texas, and then I told you about that young business man, W. L. McCoy, who is also a big lawyer. He used to practice law in the state of Mississippi, but see where he is now, and he is looking forward to purchasing land and other property in Chicago, and the Mme. Franklin School of Beauty Culture and Manufacturing Company may be located in Chicago. I have been to Houston, visited Houston college with Prof. I. M. Terrell, president; also been to other places, but as I am going back I will not talk about it now, for I am here in this city, town, village of Sealy with Bishop William Decker Johnson, who is presiding over the West Texas African Methodist conference here, and he is doing some real good substantial work in this part of the moral vineyard. Bishop Johnson is accompanied by his wife, Mrs. W. D. Johnson, who is at the head of the Johnson Home Industrial college, Plains, Georgia. She is one of the most remarkable women of our race, and on her work she is putting her whole life, and getting interested in the work as many as possible. This school, like another one I know of in Alabama, is reaching out after that neglected class of children, that class of boys and girls that no one wants, that class that you would give a shove down as you pass by them. The class that unless some one throws to them the life line will furnish the outcasts, the criminals, the recruits for the slums and dens of vice and sin. She has dedicated her life to God and to this cause, and she is meeting with success. To this school, they are made welcome with or without money. They are taught in handicraft, and the hands and hearts are reached through the mind. Mrs. Johnson declares that the highest culture is mind culture, and if you destroy the mind all that there is in man, inculding the soul, is gone. When she speaks all are anxious to hear every word she (Concluded on Fourth Page) HELP THE 1922 NEW O HARDY HAR WILL ENT M. & O.

While this is only a college organization, it has a score or more excellent musicians. Mr. G. Taylor, a young man of Omaha, Nebr., is the director. He is also director of the orchestra and teacher of violin, and is making out of these departments, the best musical organizations Western has ever had.

These concerts will be given monthly by this organization. either band or orchestra. They are free to the public and are for their benefit.

A. convention held in Joolin, Mo., was the best yet held. One hundred and seventy-five delegates were present from over the state. Mr. Gregg says that the finest evidence of Christianity at work was felt as well as observed. The treatment accorded the distinguished generals from abroad could not excel the fine spirit of hospitality that he enjoyed at Joplin. It exemplified the Scripture which says, "I, if I be lifted up will draw all men unto me." The men and boys of our cities will xperience new joy and an ambition that will bless themselves, their city and the country if the Christian spirit dots among men.

This Is a fine picture of the world’s greatest preacher and misstonary not above picking’ up sticks for a fire, The ability and disposition to serve natu- rally in whatever way fs the evidence of capacity for great commissions. 3. Paul bitten by a venomous ser- pent (v, 3). With the sticks that Paul gathered there was a serpent. Per- haps it had alrendy curled itself up for its winter sleep, but when the warmth of the fire aroused it it darted at Paul and fixed its fangs upon his hand. The natives expected to see him fall down dead, yet he shook it off, nothing hurmeid. At first the natives concluded Unt he was an escaped murderer and that this was retributive Justice being meted out to him, When they saw that he was unharmed they conehided that he was a god. | 4, Paul heals Publius’ father (vv. T- 10). ‘These people are now getting Some return for their kindness. When this man of note was healed others came alsy ind were healed. To this "they responded in appreciation by load- Ing them down with necessary sup- piles. HM. Paul Arrives at Rome (vv. 11-16). When Paut landed at Nome Christ's charge to the disciples was fultilted. After three months’ stay at Melita, Paul departs for Rome in the ship Al- exandrit, whose sign was Castor and Poliux. At Syracuse they were de- layed three duys, perhaps for fuvora- ble winds. At Puteoli he found breth- ren, at whose request he tarried seven days, At Appili-Forum and at the Three Taverns brethren from Rome met him, From Puteoli the news went before Paul's coming, und so Interested were the brethren that they came more than forty miles to meet him. ‘This greatly encouraged him, for which he gave God thanks. No one, perhaps, ever enjoyed more close fellowship with God, and yet 00 man ever en- joyed more and derived more honefit from human fellowship than he. His readiness to preach the expel at Rome, which he had expressed in the Epistle to the Romans, written from Corinth about three years before, was now realized. He was treated with great leniency at Rome, for he was allowed to hire a house there and live alone except that the soldier that re- mained his guard was constantly with him, Being chained to a soldier was rather irksome, but yet St gave lin a chance to preach to the soldiers which he could not have had any other way. He rejoiced in whatever circumstances, Just so the gospel was preached. IM. Pauls Ministry In ‘Rome (vv. 17-31). 1. His conference with the leadins Jews (vv. 17-2) He did not, as usual, wait for the Sabbath day to speak to the Jews. He only allowed one day for rest. His object was to have a fair understanding with them. When they came he endeavored to coneiliate them. He told them that, though he eame as a prisoner, he was not a criminal. ‘Though his oun countrymen had so sought his life, he did not come with an accusation against them. The result of this inter. view was that the Jews cautiously took neutral ground, but expressed i desire to hear what Paul could say in defense of a sect which was every- where spoken against, The fact that this sect was spoken against is no ev dence that it was wrong. Muny times a thing may be wrong in men’s minds because their Judgments are based. I a thing fs right In the sight of God it matters not what men think about it. 2. Paul expounding the kingdom ot God and persuading concerning Jesu: (vv. 2331). He pointed out areal kingdom—the Messianic Kingdom witt Jesus as the King. , Consecration, ‘20 ‘ea’ want to Wee. ta dhhe woeld If you want to live In this world, doing the duty of Hfe, knowing the blessings of it, doing your work heart ily, and yet not absorbed by It, re member that the one power whereby you can so act Is, that all siall be consecrated to Christ.— Alexunde1 Maclaren. sis .

While the woman made the mental reservation that the wearer was somewhat early with such headgear, a handsome motorcar drew up at the curb, and there alighted a fine-looking gentleman, whose appearance and bearing bespoke authority and success. "Good morning, George," was his cheery greeting to the smiling colored man. See you are early with your fall hat, aren't you?" "Well, no, boss," answered George. "It isn't that I be early with mah new fall hat. No, sub! But I use late with mah last winter one."—Chicago Journal. WOOD FAMINE SURELY AHEAD Measures That Alone Could Have Prevented Have Been Too Long Delayed, Says Expert. The cost of wood may fluctuate, but the general direction of the prices for wood products is bound to rise, and the movement will gain tremendous impetus a few years hence. There is going to be a wood famine in this country and little can be done to prevent it. We have procrastinated too long. Much can be done, however, to alleviate and shorten its duration. Forest protection is one of the prophylactics. Out of 822,000,000 acres of virgin forest we have 137,000,000 left. We are cutting this remainder at the rate of 5,500,000 acres yearly. In 25 to 30 years our supply of virgin timber will be exhausted. This biosum will continue until trees can be grown. In five years ending 1920 there were 160,000 forest fires in the United States which the damage amounting to more than $7,000,000. Forest fires have caused an annual loss of about 70 human lives, to say nothing of stocks, crops, buildings and improvements. G. A. Whitlie in the Thrift Magazine Simple, Arithmetic. He was teaching her arithmetic—he said it was his mission—and said: "Now that's addition." And as he added kiss by kiss, in silent satisfaction, she sweetly gave his kisses back, and said, "Now that's subtraction." Then he kissed her, and she kissed him, without an explanation. Then both together smiled and said, "Ah! that's multiplication." Then dad appeared upon the scene and made a quick decision. He kicked the teacher down the stairs and yelled, "That's long division." Spoiled the Scenery A certain clergyman is a great believer in the widening influence of travel. When he and his wife set off last month for a holiday in Switzerland they took their maid with them. She was much envied by the other girls of the village, and when she got back one of her friends asked: "Well, Gladys, what did you think of Switzerland?" "Not much," was the answer. "I couldn't really see what the country was like. The mountains got in the way." Business Methods.

A free agricultural scholarship, it has just been announced, will be awarded by the Union Pacific Railroad Company to the boy, between 16 and 21 years of age, ranking highest in the Kansas Boys' and Girls' Club work for the year 1922, in corn, potato, sorghum, pig, calf, or poultry projects. The scholarship will be in the college course or the Farmers' Short Course of the Division of Agriculture, or in the School of Agriculture at the Kansas State Agricultural College, and will be worth $75.00, plus transportation. The counties in which scholarships will be given are: Atchison, Brown, Clay, Cloud, Dickinson, Doniphan, Douglas, Ellis, Ellsworth, Geary, Gove, Graham, Jackson, Jefferson, Leavenworth, Lincoln, Logan, McPherson, Marshall, Mitchell, Nemaha, Osborne, Ottawa, Pottawatomie, Republic, Riley, Rooks, Russell, Saline, Shawnee, Sheridan, Thomas, Trego, Wallace, Washington and Wyandotte. The winner in each county will be chosen from among the ten boys ranking highest in the county club projects, on the following basis: 75 per cent. on rank in club work; 25 per cent. on activities of the boy in community affairs. The rank of these boys in community affairs and the county winner will be determined by a committee of three, consisting of the county superintendent, one person appointed by the Director of Extension of the Kansas State Agricultural College, and a third person to be chosen by these two members. The scholarship must be used within a year of the date of the award, or, if the boy is already in school, it may be used the year following the time the boy finishes his school. The action of the Union Pacific Railroad Company is due to the fact that its president, Mr. C. R. Gray, formerly a member of the governing board of the Maryland Agricultural College, was attracted by the work of boys' and girls' clubs as a factor in interesting the coming generation in farming; and he believes that the company that he heads should further this work by offering scholarships, thereby helping worthy boys to obtain training in scientific agriculture. ON THE SIDE. Many a man is merely his wife's understudy. The more a man goes around in the world the less cranky he becomes A willful man is usually any man who prefers his own will to yours. A man must make his way in the world, while a woman merely has hers. The more bad habits a man has the more he seems to enjoy life's good things. Don't believe the man who vows he likes you, or the girl who says she doesn't. The man who apologizes never has to explain how he happened to get a black eye. There is nothing slow about some fellows until you want them to pay back a loan. The greatest tattle tale in the world is a woman's age when it once begins to tell on her. It is fate that makes a heavyweight champion of one man, a punching bag of another. Why does the mother of a homely baby always say it resembles her husband's relations? Most of work's wear and tear on a man comes from his going to it all frazzled out by his play. Human race will follow its predestined course as certainly as the planets follow the'rs. The fellow with the most money usually talks the loudest about the blessings of poverty. Of course, love thy neighbor as thyself, but if he is an amateur cornet player it can't be did. There is ever promise in the future. Ambition is the spark-plug that ignites the oil of effort. Sharing sorrow is supposed to lighten it, but love, bereft, cares to share its sorrow with no one.

She is holding up and preaching higher womanhood. She is telling our girls to look up, that their future is not in fine clothes, but in fine character. Virtue for the young womanhood is her daily theme, and she is being heard all over this domain. Texas is as proud of Mrs. Johnson as it is of Bishon Johnson. I have heard two great addresses by Bishop William Decker Johnson, and believe me honey when I tell you that he is going to be a man much sought after the next general conference or at the next general conference. Texas is going to ask for his return, but there will be so many others wanting him, until I doubt very much whether or not it will come to pass. But it is not time to talk about that now, for we have some things to tell you about his address down here in this place. Let me use a few of his words. His subject was "The Minister's Business is to Follow Jesus." Now some of his words: "A very large portion of the so-called love of this world is of the irregular, illicit and shameful kind. All moral codes (our own included) encourage that kind of love which can be openly confessed, but frown upon that which is ashamed of itself; which cannot show itself except in shameful secrecy or under the cover of darkness. We see the legitimate affection in the home openly confessed between husband and wife, parent and child. We see them in the social life between pure-minded lad and maid. We see them in the wider world and life generally between friend and friend. But there are other affections which the church, the law and common decency frown down upon because they dare not, come into the open, dare not show themselves in the light of day. These latter kinds of affection always bring about complications—most often serious and tragic consequences. Beware of that loyalty and that love of which you ore ashamed. It usually ends in remorse, tragedy, disgrace and death. The Bible denounces it. the church frowns upon it and the courts of justice visit punishment of the laws upon it. I have thus far had reference to temporal love—the love of the world. But in the spiritual world loyalty and love may be Page Four.

"The minister's business is to follow Jesus. This is an undeniable fact evident on the face of it and it would seem at first blush that an admonition on my part, to our ministers on this subject would be needless. But with closer second study, we get a glimpse of what may constitute a grave charge, not only against our particular ministers but the Christian ministry as a whole. "The people of this generation are turning away from God. The combined forces of the world, the flesh and the whelming attack upon the citadel of Christianity. We have plunged ourselves into an atmosphere of materialism and greed. The nations are sinking to a plane of Godliness. Immorality has reached a stage which forces the prophet to stand agast. Money, luxury, power—these constitute the all-absorbing passion of today. Our men are money-mad; our women are fashion mad, sinful pleasure has become the chief diversion of the day, jealousy and envy the forerunners of suspicion and hate are growing between group and group, race and race, country and country. Christ is being relegated; God is being forgotten. The soul is being dwarfed. The heart is being impoverished. The old-time religion, the prayer meeting, the old Methodist institution of the family altar with the sturdy character that went along with it—all these things have become the laughing stocks of today. "All these old-fashioned mothers who raised old-fashioned daughters, the warp and woof of whose moral fibre withstood the ravages of time—where are they? The old-fashioned fathers who blazed the trail in which their sons were proud to follow—where are they? Surely the women we see parading the streets with lack of apparel, bordering dangerously on indecency, are not the daughters of those mothers. Surely the boys we see out midnight joy-riding are not the sons of those fathers. But what other sons and daughters can they be? God forbid that the world shall long continue to plunge headlong into the eternal night of idolatry." Now there were many other good things in that address, but I will not be able to tell you now. They have had short crops down here, hence short money. But the Bishop is full of life and hope and is not abusive to his men. He is a true leader. I am just touching arms with the men down here. Rev. S. J. Johnson is one of the leading preachers in Texas, and he is to be the successor to Dr. B. F. Watson. You may tell them that I told you so. I will have to stop here.

PAGE Teacher of Bible Doctrine, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. TEXT.—My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations, knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. Jas. 1:2-4. There is a philosophy of life which expresses itself in the words, "Grin and bear it." Its most recent development is manifest in the appointment of "Smile 'em up" committees. This attitude may have some value. It is surely better than complaint and moroseness. But it falls infinitely short of the plane and bear it. Its most recent development is manifest in the appointment of "Smile 'en up" committees. This attitude may have some value. It is surely better than complaint and moroseness. But it falls infinitely short of the plane of Christian living which comes into view in this Scripture—"Count it all joy when ye fall into manifold temptations." The word "temptation" means trial or testing. It is a test of character, not an incitement to wrongdoing. Sometimes these testings are unlooked for, so that we are said "to fall" into them. They are "manifold." This refers to their variety rather than their number. They are many sided, many colored; some severe, others mild, some prolonged, others brief. They give occasion, for every sort of joy. This is the literal meaning of the words "all joy." We are to count it every sort of joy when we "fall into" these "manifold temptations." But how can we do this? Only by knowing that, the test patiently endured will lead to a great triumph, the triumph of faith and of a strong enduring character which is the result of faith. Faith is the most precious and powerful thing in the world. Its education is of untold importance. A returned missionary from Tibet recently said in a public address, "God is looking everywhere for men and women who will trust Him." Trust is developed through trial. Under divine direction, Moses led the Israelites to the Red sea that they might learn in experience the power of God to save, and that their trust in Him might be strengthened. Jesus took His disciples into a storm that through the test they might learn to trust, because of the experimental knowledge of His power to deliver. Every trial is a trial of faith. We never fall till we fall inside. Every outward yielding is the expression and result of a surrender within. The trial of faith is declared to be much more precious than gold that perisheth. Gold is the standard of value in the world of men and affairs, but in the higher realm of spirit and character, faith is the standard, the faith that endures. From this springs every noble and Christlike quality. All the New Testament writers push into prominence this point of view, "We glory in tribulations," says Paul, because they produce in us patience, steadfastness and hope. These are Christlike qualities, the flower of Christian character, the possession of which constitutes the triumph which makes all the tests worth while. When we become Christians, a new life from above is imparted to us. Every Christlike and gracious quality is enfolded in this new life, even as the oak tree is wrapped up in the acorn. The unfolding and development of this life is the one big outstanding problem confronting us. Without the manifold temptations, the new life would be dwarfed and stunted. Because of their operation and result, the life is perfected, so that where patience has her perfect work the life stands "perfect and entire, wanting nothing." Somehow the Christian life develops best under adversity. All sunshine makes the desert. Life needs clouds in order to have a glorious sunset. Another factor entering into the triumph emanating from the manifold temptations is the capacity to enjoy which those have who patiently endure the sufferings of this present time. They will best be able to enjoy the glories that shall be revealed in us. So then, there is reason to "count it all joy when ye fall into manifold temptations, knowing that the trial of your faith worketh patience." This is not mere passive submission, but rather endurance. It is the faith that does not shrink, the perseverance that does not falter under burdens. When this sort of patience is permitted to have a perfect work, perfection of life and character is reached, and this is the triumph that makes all endurance worth while and enables us to count it every sort of joy when we "fall into manifold temptations." It is possible to hinder this triumph unless the human will co-operates with the divine purpose. There is grace enough for this also, so that sufferings may be borne joyously as well as submissively.
