A Trip of Pleasure And Education. Now, that vacation time is here, many are wondering where to go and how to go. We are glad to say that this question has been anticipated and the answer is now presented to us by a new organization of our business men, under the management of Mr. Leo. Frame. Lack of accommodation and discriminations have hitherto marred the pleasures of our vacation trips, and these are the unpleasantnesses that the Pioneer Stage Line Company have figured a way to successfully overcome. The company plans to start three cars on or about the 15th of Jupe, and will tour through Colorado Springs, Denver, Estes Park, Rocky Mountain, National Park and the Yellowstone National Park. The trip will consume about twenty days and the round trip transportation includes all expenses for passengers except their food. Plenty of time has been figured for fishing, hiking, and sight-seeing; so there will be absolutely nothing for the tourist to worry about. The company will willingly extend the time of the trip to suit the convenience of passengers, majority ruling, and of course with reasonable additional renumeration. Cars will be starting simultaneously from Kansas City, Wichita, and Oklahoma City, and persons who are interested are advised to begin organizing parties now. This is a most progressive movement on the part of the men of our race, and we are certainly glad to congratulate the heads of this enterprise and here's wishing the new company much success.

U., to be in Hot Springs, Ark., June 19-24, 1923, to see how your own experts put over the program of methods, that will mean much for the development of your work when the messengers return. Think not in yourself, you can't, because you can. There is not a Sunday School nor a Union in the state that cannot send a Messenger. Pick the most live wire you have in your church, and we guarantee, he or she will be able to return to you dollars for cents in service, when he or she returns. May we ask that money not stop the progress of the kingdom. Elect the messenger, line the young people up behind the messenger, then line the older people up behind them and then send the name at once to H. T. Sims, Sec., of the Congress, who has a comfortable chair car arranged for the trip. The fare will be one and one-third fare on the certificate plans; so elect at once, send in the name so you can be furnished with a certificate and not incur an extra expense. A chair car will leave Wichita, over the Rock Island at 12:35 p. m. and you will not have to change cars on the trip. The Oklahoma delegates will join us. Let us hear from you at once as we have a short time for preparations. Rev. N. J. Stokes of Pratt, is helping us to make it a first class trip; so hear him when he speaks.
