Hayes, Moderator and Mrs. I. F. Bates, Cor. Sec. The Second Baptist people tried themselves on the entertainment side and the messengers came charged with religious zeal; so every phase of the work took on new life. Every auxiliary had a modern program and went over the top. They lost sight of the money side, but lifted Christ and the money came. Each one assigned a part on the program came prepared and delivered wonderful talks. The added features were the Cradle Roll Department by Mrs. N. B. Copeland, who scored high for the work, proving her efficiency as the State Assistant Cradle Roll Superintendent. The introduction of the ministers of the other denominations who spoke favorably of the work. The message brought by our state missionary, Dr. A. W. Ross, who is planning his work and working his plan. He convinced the district that he was the right man for the place and they pledged to stand by him. Rev.

She began her discourse on the comparison of the American Women, who is honored above all women, and from one wonderful fact to another she held her audience spellbound as she pictured one inclen after another. We thought it horrible terms when she spoke of the cannibals that still exist, their methods of finding the guilty, the voodoo man or medicine man, the treatment of the women mysteries of the "bush." Our hearts went out when she told of their anxiety for the Gospel, the long distance they would walk to hear the story, how they love you when they fird out you come to help them and so readily turn over their tribe to you, also the suffering she had stood that she might give them the Gospel. The exhibit proved that they are skilled workmen and have a plastic mind, only need Jesus. ST.

THE RESPONSIBILITY AND OPPORTUNITY OF THE INTERMEDIATE TEACHER BY MISS GENEVA MERCOMES, Newton, Kansas THE RESPONSIBILITY AND OPPORTUNITY OF THE INTERMEDIATE TEACHER BY MISS GENEVA MERCOMES, Newton, Kansas The world is just beginning to fully realize that opportunities really mean responsibilities; this is especially true in leadership and more than ever true in the case of the intermediate teacher. The intermediate division of the Sunday School covers the period of early adolescence, the years thirteen, fourteen, fifteen and sixteen. The term adolescence means "Growing up." Children during these years make rapid growth, both physically and mentally. This growth affects in a singular manner the whole being. The changes peculiar to adolescence will be considered later. The intermediate teacher's first responsibility is to be an efficient teacher. I shall state briefly what constitutes an ideal teacher. The first requisite is scholarship. It is an asset to the teacher for several reasons. First, it is necessary to the teacher, in order to give her a vision of her work. Second, it creates an interest in the work, from the standpoint of the pupil. Third, it is a factor in easy control, since it wins the confidence of the pupils. Fourth, it gives the teacher confidence in himself. Next, it secures and holds attention, it also encourages study and last, it creates righ ideals of scholarship among the pupils. The second requisite for a teacher is professional training. It includes the science of teaching, such subjects as psychology, method of teaching, school management and history of education; and the art of teaching acquired by practice teaching under expert guidance. It has several values, it furnishes an ideal of teaching, and saves costly experimenting upon the children. The third requisite for a teacher is knowledge of children. A teacher must know the nature of children and love them in order to be successful with them. Child study may be accomplished by observation, experience or introspection. However, it is accomplished, child study in essential to the teacher. These requisites are even more necessary to the intermediate teacher for a number of reasons. First, intermediate boys and girls look up to their teacher as an ideal. It is well to place the best and most stimulating material before them. Second, there are new powers of mind which have developed and use should be made of them. The teacher must understand them in order to make proper use of them. Some of THE RELATION OF THE B.Y.P.U.,TO CHURCH AND OTHER AUXS BY REV. C. E. WOODS, ARK. CITY. The B. Y. P. U., like other auxiliaries of the church was born out of the church and sustain a filial relationship to the church ard is a sister to her auxiliaries. This explains the church to be the parent body and the auxiliaries to be her children, while the B. Y. P. U., (being the last child born to the union) has the distinction of being the church's baby child and the baby sister to her auxiliaries. The auxiliaries of the church are children of necessity; they were born to the church when the church saw that they were needed to facilitate her work of Mission. And since these children are of different ages they suggest that our church has passed thro' a process of evolution discovering her needs of facilitation. These auxiliary sisters have a spiritual resemblance because of their final relation to the parent body and farther because they all have the same major objective set forth in Paul's Letter to Ephesians, 4:13 which reads as follows "'Till we all come into the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto these are voluntary attention, investigation, associative memory, imagination and reason. A knowledge of psychology is necessary to relate these faculties to Christian education. Adolescents are capable of voluntary attention and should be encouraged to use it. They must be taught to pay attention in class as learning in impossible with out attention. Investigation is a desire to know a truth and willingness to search for it. The tendency is strong at this age. The pupils should be led to use Bible dictionaries encyclopedias, maps and charts, in order to seek information systematically. Associative memory is the basis of judgement, reason and all abstract thinking. It is the power to associate or relate facts. Teach by relating new material to material already known and group details about a central truth. Imagination is strong at this age. It is a power of mind which is of much use in Bible teaching. It is the ability to reconstruct familiar material. mental pictures into new images. Almost every idea suggests a mental picture, which makes it clearer and more easily understood, and remembered. In learning about things we have never seen, imagination supplies the picture. Ideals are also the product of imagination. The intermediate pupils possesses the power of reason. He can relate causes, events and results. This is of tremendous importance both to teaching and to his life as a whole. The teacher may reason with him about salvation, showing him the need and value of Christ in his life, pointing out the results of righteousness and sin. The third requisite named for the teacher, a knowledge of children is vitally essential in dealing with intermediate or adolescent pupils. There are many characteristics peculiar to adolescence. The adolescent becomes for the first time a "social being." He can subjugate self and "play with the team." Organization in possible and needful at this age. The organized class is of great value here. It gives each pupil a definite place. It gives proper direction to the social life. Adolescent boys and girls are going to have social life; shall the church or the world supply it? the organized class also helps to keep the teacher in touch with the home and parents of the pupils. (To be continued in next issue.) the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ." So you see the grand marks that distinguish these auxiliary, viz (the Sunday School, Mission and B. Y. P. U.,) from one another is not to be found in their major objective. They differ only in their minor objectives and yet these differences are only accessible to the vision of intelligent churchman. For instance, the Sunday School evangelizes but the B. Y. P. U. makes the effect of her evangelization permanent. Again, the Sunday School brings religion into the church but the B. Y. P. U., puts intelligence into religion by indoctrinating. Again, the Sunday School is the grammar school teaching the doctrine of depravity and and repentance toward God, but the B. Y. P. U., is the academy where the church takes an academic course in all the Christian doctrines. And farther, the sphere of Sunday School activity is the world but the sphere of B. Y. P. U., activity is within the church. The B. Y. P. U., also differs from the Mission Circle in the following:—The B. Y. P. U. secures the Missionary activity and the increase spirituality of the church; but the Mission utilizes it. The B. Y. P. U. seeks to charm the soul by holding intelligence up to the gaze of intellect; but the Mission like Dorcas of old, seeks to win through missionary benevolence. Again the B. Y. P. U., studies to serve but the Mission serves to win. The B. Y. P. U., is the military camp of the church where we conform to formal rules to meet the intelcu- FATHER AND SON WEEK EVENTS The Father and Son Week Program was a reality this year. A special sermon was preached at New Hope Church by Dr. Ross W. Sanderson, on Sunday Nov. 11th. Other churches emphasized the program in their services. On Thursday, Nov. 15th, the members of the Arthur Gossett Post, American Legion, gave a B.g Brother Banquet to the Under-Privileged boys of the Community. Twenty Service Men, each in Uniform, and arm in arm with an unfortunate boy, was an inspiring scene. A delightful supper was served by the women of New Hope Church. A fitting program was rendered. On Friday evening Nov. 16th, the regular Father and Son Danquets were served at St. Paul A. M. E., and Calvary Baptist Churches. These two banquets were attended by 124 Father and Sons. Splendid suppers were served and fitting programs rendered. Some very impressive talks were made at each Banquet. BIG BROTHER BANQUET Thursday evening, Nov. 15th, Arthur Gossett Post American Legion, spread their "Big Brother" banquet in the dining solon of New Hope Baptist Church. The members of the Post proved themselves big brothers indeed to some 28 under-privileged boys who were made happy by the entertainment afford them by the Post. The serving of this banquet was keeping with the National program of the American Legion, to look after the less fortunate boys of the land upon whom in a measure will rest the future government and safety of the nation. Comrade John D. Jones acted as toastmaster and very ably outlined the purposes of the movement, then introduced Mr. McKeen, Statt student secretary and Mr. E. Gibhard, County Boys Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. These gentlemen made excellent talks on the necessity of the preservation of the boys of the land and highly complimented the Legion Boys for their good work and efforts in this direction. Others who made eloquent talks on character, good manners and the necessity of education for our boys were, comrades Orange Johnson, Floyd Crouch, Samuel Oliver, Post Commander Horace Duke and our able Y. M. C. A. Secretary, Capt. W. L. Hutcherson. It was indeed a pleasure to look upon the smiling faces of these boys as they filed out of the banquet hall too full for utterance we might say with fried chicken, salad, ice cream, cake and other good things to eat, yet thanking in the best way they knew, the big brothers, who had so royally entertained them and caused them to feel an inspiration to live for the nobler things in life. This was the first formal event given by Arthur Gossett Post and it goes without saying it will long be remembered by both the Big Brothers and their guests. nices of the soul; but h Mission discards formality to meet the deeper reeves of the human soul. When I think of the organic ages of these auxiliaries, sisters, and yet they are not grown, it presents to me a range phenomena and yet when the cause is carefully ascertained the phenomena disappears. When the Constituency of the church recognizes and accepts the fact that they belong to every ting the church has and will function through all her organizations, the auxiliaries will cease to be a bord-ordinate they will be grown. But should such development take place in the church that would render her auxiliaries grown thus freeing them of subordination, they would still be filled, for when a child is grown, he is still a son or daughter but not subordinate. According to my prophetical anticipation the time will come when the organizations of the church now known as auxiliaries will be rendered grown by all the church or nearly, all the church functioning through them so that whatever is done, the church will do it.

Sunday morning was speaking meeting that the converts might share with us before our regular covenant day the first Sunday in each month. We were spiritually amused when a little cradle boy came up and joined, a candidate for baptism and was baptized. "Let the children come," the Lord said, "Suffer them to come unto Me." Keep praying for the cradle roll, that more children may come to the Saviour while young. He said, "And a little child shall lead them." Our services were further graced with the presence of Dr. E. W. D. Gorman of Hutchinson; who made us hear him as he addressed us on the subject: "Origin of Races; and the three primal colors." It was news to us; we are truly proud of our race.
