Honor them because God so commanded; honor them because it is our duty; honor them for what they have done for you or My Sake. O that every boy and girl in the city could have been in the congregation and heard this powerful sermon. Three candidates were also baptized. Thus ended a joyful service. Come strangers, you are we'come. St. Paul Notes. Last Sunday being designated as "Fathers' Day," the pastor, Rev. Ransom preached an impressive sermon from the text: "The rock from which you were hewn." The morning service was well attended and many visitors present. The church was pleased to see Mrs. Nichols present again after a severe illness since Easter, and all were g'ad to know she is able to resume her duties as President of the Methodist Missionary Workers. Despite the threatening rain a fair audience attended the evening service and the pastor delivered another interesting discourse on the "Love for Fathers as well as the love for Mother. The Sunday School is preparing for Children's Day, which occurs next month. A lively program is anticipated. Next Sunday the services will be principally memorial Services in honor of the dead veterans of our race in all wars. Special music as well as addresses will we rendered. All are welcome. Sunday morning was opened with Sunday School, studying of King Josiah, leading his people, and how to make the Bible your own. He first went to God himself, then called his people together and read the lost book to them, then they promised to keep God's command. At 11 a.m., the pastor read for a Scripture Lesson Deut. 31:21-27 and St. Matt. 5:17-20 for first and second lessons; subject: "Preserving the Law." Deut. 31:26. The lesson was beautifully explained and a picture was seen from his discussion. At 8:00 p. m., the pastor, Rev. H. H. Edmond opened service by singing, "O for a Faith that will not shrink." Then he gave the echo from the General Conference. We are glad to know that we are connected with a growing church; so many things were said that we did not know, we should all be glad of our pastor, the echoes were so beautifully told until we could only take a lesson that what ever you do, do it with your heart. In the conference there were four bishops elected among whom was Rev. J. A. Hamlet, Editor for the Christian Index, The Star of Kansas who spoke in our City last September, for Dev. H. H. Edmond, we are proud of him a young man who has made a mark in life and leading the people upward, we pray for his success. All who failed to hear the echo from the conference on last Sunday evening missed a treat. Tuesday evening the N. C. Cleaves Literary was well attended and the all-round program was good; everybody did something. Miss Temple Carter recited an appreciated reading. Next Sunday is the third quarterly conference day, Rev. R. P. Tyler, P. E., will be present to hold his meeting Thursday evening, May the 25th.

Grundy came here from St. Louis, Mo., about a year ago and was called to Mt. Olive Church shortly after he came to the city. During his pastorate here, Rev. Grundy did a good work and leaves the church free from all encumberances and a membership, more united than it has been for years. While in our city, Rev. Grundy worked in co-operation with all churches, making many friends, and winning the respect of friend and foe, alike. He (as all good law-abiding citizens) will be greatly missed. We wish for him great success, and may the blessings of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ go with him to his new field of labor. Sunday, May 21st at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Bible School opened at the usual time 9:30 a.m., conducted by Prof. W. E. Gray, Supt., of school. Devotion ied by Bro. William Barnes. The song service by the choir with Mrs. W. E. Gray, organist, was very uplifting all day and in keeping with the text and theme. The pastor, Rev. W. C. Cartwright took his text from Matt. 13:3-8; And He spoke many things unto them in parables, saying, behold a sow went forth to sow; and when he sowed some seed fell by the wayside and the fowls came and devoured them up: some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth; and forthwith they sprang up because they had no deepness of earth; and when the sun came up they were scorched and because they had no root they withered away. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up and choked them: But others fell into good ground and brought forth fruit, some an hundred fold, some sixty fold, some thirty fold. The sermon was inspiratory to all hearers. It showed why some would be lost and why we should not be discouraged at the loss of some efforts. Brethren and Sisters, Jesus Christ has determined that the people should be instructed. There are none lost before he has first been instructed. The sermon also showed that God would not permit those who wished to see Him remain in their blindness; that God's word would make better men and women. It will put down when wrong and lift up when right. The Gospel is the same as it always was, let it find a place for root in your heart. Brethren and Sisters, God, through Christ, will not permit the loss of one who is sincerely wishes salvation. He will justly permit the blindness and ruin of all such as hate instructions. Another lesson was also taught in this able sermon, the lesson of suffering. We must know that there is nothing of any good ever accomplished unless it is accomplished through suffering. We must learn if we would reign in heaven with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, we must suffer with and for Him here upon this earth. After the sermon the following visitors were introduced and expressed themselves as being glad they had come into the house of the Lord: Miss Hazel Stewart of Council Bluff, Iowa; Miss Mae Ward of Omaha, Neb. or Association organized for the health of its members, and to fur- accident or illness, with Physal.

Mrs. Corrine Corporal, who has been visiting here with her many friends, has been ill at Mrs. Ingram's 202 E. 2nd St., where she has been sopping while here. Her many friends wish her a speedy recovery. Rev. J. H. Raimey of Great Bend, father of Rev. G. T. Raimey, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, here, and Moderator of S. M. D., has come for a visit here; afterwhich he will visit another son, Geo. Raimey of Topeka. Father Raimey, who has embored incessantly for more than a half century in God's Cause, is one of the most able ministers that ever entered a pulpit, and rightly belongs on a retired list, pensioned by people where he has rendered most of his service during this half century. If a soldier can retire on life-pension, after giving U. S., 30 years of service, why shouldn't an old veteran minister after half century in Christian warfare be retired on life pension? Rev. Chas. O. Marshall, pastor of Mt. Z'on Baptist Church of Ablene, is spending a short visit with his brother H E. Marshall of this city. Leaving here, he contemplates attending the Theological School Board Meeting, going from there to Lawrence, to visit his father Mr. G P. Marshal'. Rev. G. T. Raimey has not returned from his tour through Western Kansas, but is expected soon. Rev. Raimey, during his stay here, more than two years, has never been away from his members for such a lengthy stay, but knowing the efficiency of his officers, he is able to go away and be contented that everything is going on.

Phones: Office, Market 5017 Residence, Doug. 3271R. Nashville, Tenn. Read At The Quarterly Board Meeting At Leavenworth, Kansas By C. M. JOHNSON, President Of Northeastern Dist. B. Y. P. U. Holton, Kansas. There are a great many things that we have to do that we do not like to do. One of these things is to say that there is a dearth in the ministry. I mean by this that there are not many young men at the present time who are willing to give up their lives to God's service and all that that means. Almost every denomination reports that they have a great many churches that are without pastors. One such report that I read stated that the church had over 150 vacant pulpits in one state and that a tota. number of men graduating from the training schools and planning to enter the ministry was only 70. We believe that all will agree that there is a dearth. The thing we want to consider is the WHY? There are three things that I went to menton that are prime causes for this condition. None of these should be but they are and we might just as well admit it and then try to find a remedy for the condition. It doesn't do us any good to deny facts and try to soothe our minds in that way. Men are "called" into the ministry by the Holy Spirit or else they are not called at all. We mean by this that there is no other way in which they can get in and do the work that God would have done excepting that the Holy Spirit calls them. Now we can see men preaching that show very plainly that they do not preach for this reason and they do not have the power of the Holy Spirit in their work. The church would be better off if they were not preaching at all. Now as the why of this question. The first thing that I want to mention is the money question. We will agree that there are not very many men in the ministry because of the wages paid in cash. Some are working faithfully because the wages cannot be measured in dollars and cents. These men should be honored and revered for their faithfulness and honesty with God. Probably there is not a man preaching but what could make more money at some other work. We must all admit that the minister gets a smaller salary than the school teacher and they are known as a very poorly paid class. We do not think that the minister should make the money the prime considerat on in his "call" but we do rather think this: That the church should take up this matter for him and see to it that he has enough money to keep his family in proper condition and pay all of his debts and also have a little extra to put aside for that proverbial rainy day that is almost sure to come. Let the people pay an honest t the on all their income and we know that the preacher will get a better wage and just as soon as the wages are sufficient to give the proper support to the minister's family, I am sure that there will be more men willing to put themselves into the work but it is too much to ask them to put themsevea in and then to do without money. The next reason that I want to mention is this: There is a great move in the world today towards the materialistic. Men are openly denying the cardinal truths that the Bible contains, for example. The Infallibility of the Scriptures is denied by many, The Deity of Christ, His Virgin birth, His miracle working life, His resurrection and ascension. All these are all discredited by many in the present churches. There must be a returning to the Bible and the truths contained in the teachings that can be found nowhere else. There was a time in history when everyone accepted all of the teachings contained in the Bible. When every man accepted all of the Ten Commandments as truth but that day has passed and now man accepts only that which he wants. For some reason man has a desire to do away with everything that has to do with the vicarious suffering of the Christ and even the great creation work of Him. When men get back to real truths of the Bible, there will be more men truly ceded into the preaching of the Word. We can depend upon it, that when men return that there will be a great revival of religion and just as sure as there is a revival there will be increase in the ministry. To minister means to serve and a man has no desire to serve except he has the true love of God in his heart. And this last paragraph brings me to the third reason I want to ment on. The boy brought up in the present day home, does not have the incentive of true service held up before him. In early history of the U.

Downstairs. God and then all the family kneed and everyone in the circle offered a prayer to God for guidance through the day. I wonder how many altars we could find today. This is the our great thing that will bring about that much desired revival. The word of God is able to convert men and will do just that but we must read it and not only read it but must understand what we read. We are inclined in the present day to avoid all this as if it were something to be afraid of. Many men are groping in darkness because they do not read God's Word. "It is a lamp unto my feet." Every one knows that but they seem not to care for the sight. When the family gets to using the Word as a guide there will be a generation of boys that will be willing to get into the work and there will also be a generation of people on earth that will be willing to pay their faithful servants for their labors and then all of these things will be different. When this comes, we will see a great many things that we do not now see and a great many things that we now see we will not see. Devoe Paint is guaranteed to go further; last longer; looks better and costs less for the job than any other paint. Come in and talk to us before you paint your house. The condition of things now is such that a man will hardly speak to his neighbor about the love of God for fear that the neighbor will think him "uneducated." I want to say right here, that the man who is really educated, is the one who knows what God says through His Word. There is no other source of knowledge. Let us all seek God and follow the plan that He has outlined for us to follow. Then, and only then will we be able to see the ministry supplied with faithful men. Men who are willing to serve, Men who are not ashamed of not care for the sneers of men. Let us pray to God who hears and answers prayers that He will send forth laborers for the harvest. B. Y. P. U.
