ILLINOIS PRIMARY LAW UNGONSTITU TIONAL Supreme Court Upsets the Elections by a Recent Ruling Springfield, Ill., June 16-By unanimous decision the Supreme Court today held the Illinois primary election law of 1919 unconstitutional.

We pity that soul whose religion will not bind him sufficiently strong enough to enable' him to rise above his evil companions sufficiently high and long enough to allow his light, (life) to shine forth to illuminate the pathway of some poor sinner that will lead him into that path that shines more and more, until the perfect day. We have several good preachers that are idle that would make good pastors if they were given a chance. Every church large or small should have a pastor, and carry out the great commission of Jesus. Ye should be doers of his word and not hearers only. Heed this message and herald it to the lost and benighted world. Every church door in Southern Illinois should be thrown open at least twice every Sunday that the gospel might be preached to every creature. Let none hear you idly saying there, is nothing you can do while the souls of men are dying all around you without any hope for the future life and happiness. Any church needing a good pastor and a splendid preacher, a man of high ideals and broad vision, we can recommend Rev, Jno. Bruen, of Mt. Vernon, Ill., who successfully pastored Shiloh Baptist church of that city for 5 consecutive years. His address is 1011 Herbert, St. The old Mt. Olive has a foundation and a record behind it, as it was founded on solid facts and not on hate and misrepresentation. Its early founders stood for something in the days of yore. "Woe unto the Shepherd that divide my sheep." We are sorry that a number of our life long friends and members of 22th street, Mt. Moriah and Mt. Pleasant Baptist churches suffered themselves to leave the record they have made for these many years to follow after strangers. Md. City, Ill. April 13, 1920. To the Moderator of the Mt. Olive Baptist Association and to whom it may concern: This certifies that the 1st Baptist church of Md. City asks that the Mt. Olive S. S. Convention convene with us Wednesday before the 4th Sunday in June. Rev. C. W. Cole, pastor. Genuine Baptists do not federate with anything, but stands out clear cut for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus said, upon his word He would build his church and the gates of hell should not destroy it. Let us add here that all the combined forces of men cannot uproot the Church of Christ, or loose it from its moorings, neither can principalities, heights, nor depths; peril, or sword, nor world's, upon world's persuade a child of God move him from trusting in God. There is a fixed principle in his soul that serves as an anchor to a child born of God. Rev. Thos. Morris, pastor and members of the Antioch Baptist church are beautifying their church with opera chairs, which adds much to the appearance and comfort. Dear Co-Workers, of the W. E. M. Society of the Mt. Olive Baptist Association, I am asking you through the Gazette, to write me a personal letter on your desire Where are you? Will you not rise and shine for Jesus? Can't you hear Aim calling you as loud as peals of thunder. The harvest is great but the labors are few? Go work in my vineyard, are his words. Be like Nehemiah, tell them that you are doing great work and you can't come down We shall try and make this Associational year a banner one. Wake up and let us go over the top for God First be sure that you are right and go ahead. Read Heb. 12:11, if we obey that verse we will have no time to do anything to any body, talk or write about anybody, only that which is good or edifying or will lift up some one. I hope that all the churches that were in the Mt. Olive Baptist Association are still with the old mother. I believe that you are, if not I love you still. I ask the pastors of our district to let us look in on you at your earliest convenience. Yours for the Master, Laura A. Leake, Pres., of Dist. W. E. & M. 603 Cormick St., Centralia, Ill.

Carter has handled this work wonderfully and the church is proud to have a man of his ability. Mr. M. Clayborn has returned from the annual conference of the N. A. A. C. P., at Atlanta, Ga. and gave a complete report of the great work. Mr. Clayborn laid much weight on the ability of Drs. DuBois, Pickens, Mayor Key and others. We urge all to join this great association. Rev. W. H. Carter, Pastor. J. H. Scott, Clerk. To the Pastors, Teachers and all Sunday School workers of the East Mount Olive Baptist Sunday School convention. It becomes my very pleasant duty to remind you of the near approach of our Sunday School convention which will convene in Mt. Vernon, Ill. June 23 to 27 1920 at 9:30 It is our very earnest hope that this will be the greatest session in the history of this noble, noble body. God has wonderfully blessed us since our organization; it has grown both numerically and spiritually, but it has not accomplished all that we hope. We are asking the co-operation and encouragement of the pastors first, for without them we cannot hope to succeed, therefore, let each pastor use his confidence to have their Sunday School workers to meet with us this year, that they may be inspired by the study of methods and exchange of views upon Sunday School topics, to return home and do better work in the training for service. Pastor T. J. Bruce, the preach- and artist has decorated the church elaborately for the convention, it is truly worth of beauty. The people are sparing no pains to make your stay pleasant, and they should be amply repaid by a wide awake, soul inspiring, and spirit filled meeting. There should no longer be a simply get-together meeting for pleasure and recreation but we should meet to glorify God and put forth every effort to help the pastor and people where we meet to extend the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Let us come full of sunshine and of the spirit of service. Attend the S. S. Congress in Springfield. Ill., June 16-21.

Olive District to get busy and bring up $2.50 this year over and above the annual dues, which is $2.50 making a total of $5.00. We want to do more for foreign mission this year than ever before. Let this be the banner year. This is the plan I hope your circles will accept. Begin this month and raise 50 each month, until the month of June. If your circle has five active members that will be 100 per month above the monthly dues if your circle has 10 active members that would be 5c; now this is to be paid once a month by this plan. Each circle can bring up the annual meeting $5.00 within 90 days. Report to me how you are getting along. Mrs. Mattie North, Fres To the editor Notice.
