Junction City News. The Minister's Conference which has been meeting in various cities thru-out the State, is meeting in our city this week; starting on Monday night, there will be services both day and night, each day of this week until Friday night. We sincerely hope these meetings will be a success, as the object of this Conference is for a mighty good cause; the maintenance of the Baptist Theological Seminary at Topeka, Kans. If every parent would consider the importance of this institution, and drill the object of this institution into their boys' minds, thereby, encouraging their boys to attend this institution, we would have more Bible-made men turned loose in our communities, which would be compelled to help our communities.

There has been but a very little said about it through the press. T wish to aay the Baptists of the State ant all well-wishers of the C.n- tral Baptst Theological Seminary:— The Seminary is progressing nicely under the efficient leadership of Dr. W. Hf. Young who is well prepared for every department of the work. He is in Seattle, Washington, at present conducting a series of mectings, but will return within a short while. Mrs, Young, the accomplished wife of ‘Dr. Young, is with him in the state of, Washington, easisting in the great revivals that is being conducted by them in the cities of Seatle and Ta- coma, Washington. Turning my ate tention back to the activities of the Seminary—Rev. S. J, Williams, prs- tor of the Great Shiloh Baptist Church, is acting in the absence of Dr. Young. Rev. Willams has proved himself well equal for the task of teaching Theology. | The students of the Seminary are preying that the Baptist of the State will rally to the appeals that are be- ing made by “the State Missionary, Van Leu, to raise funds for the pur- pose of remodeling the building, and equip it with such equipments as are necessery for a Theological Seminary. The students of the Seminary are wondering why it is, that the pastors outside of Topeka, do not have them visit their churches somet'mes, 8) that they might get a hitttle practice aa well as a little financial aid. | Brother pastors, this is a very poor way of making the Seminary go, wake up; Dr, Van Leu, Prof. Bridge- forth and the pastors of Topeke, can- not carry the whole burden, it takes every pastor from the least to the greatest, to make this Seminary go. Wake up and help to make the Cen- tral Baptist Seminary what it shoul! be, - The students of the Theologteal department are characterized as fol- lows:—~ Rev. 8. H. Duncan's the preacher of many motions and notions, Rev. James Howard, slow but sure, and he never likes to make a reci- tation on a subject thit he doesnt know; < Rev. Adair, the weeping prophet, fur he'll. usually discuss on a subject, until the Dean makes him stop it; Rev., James Martin, another weeping prophet—and his cup runneth over before his hearers get the best out of it; Mra. Dillard, studious and yet unscl- fish, never comes to class unless she is prepared to tell it—(the sub- Ject.) As the elephant dreads the lattle mouse, so dreadeth the whole bod- fes of students of Daragan’s Theol. ogy. The writer was forced to stay out of school for ebout ten days, on account ‘of his eyes troubling h’m, but is able to take up his studics again. We are praying for an enrollment of twenty-five ministers and missicn- ary women next year. THE SHOP THAT’S DIFFEREN . . Shoe Repairing That’s ; GU ARAN TEED.

They tell faithfully the Negro’s innermost life, both intellec- tually and spirituasly. 4, They are the only true source af Negro history; if‘any man would read the Negro's life, let him study these songs 5, ‘heyare the only connicting link between the young Ne- wroes and thelr ancestors. 6. They increase spiritual fervor because they were born o adversity and tribulation. q v they are sung in the right spirit, a revivalis sure to fol- jow. = 8. These songs of our fathers should be preserved with their best and truest interpretation. 9, These are the original JUBILEE SONGS, All’ other collec= tions are feeble imitations and carcless revisions, 10. ‘They are the legacy of parerts and ancestors whose memory we should delight to cherish.
