U.: The State Board Meeting and the Pastors and Workers Conference and Training institute will be held with the Calvary Baptist Church of Topeka, Dr. W. H. Young, Pastor, April 23-25, 1924. It is a joy to inform you that the work under the new Program is bringing splendid results. But in order to be able to fully carry on the Great Program to meet all the phases of work it is very necessary that the churches and their organizations RALLY to bring up the amount unpaid on District Budget now due to date. Our State Budget is $10,000.00. Amount paid $1517.09. Amount due to date $8482.91. Let all the churches respond to this earnest call. When one part of the work suffers all suffer. Brother Pastors, it is as necessary to see that your churches take care of this part of the Kingdom work as it is to pay the current expenses of the church. The churches responding directly to the State Board will receive credit. Also the amount will be applied to the District Budget. Our Slogan for this Board meeting is $2000.00 Let each church with her organizations bring at least $25.00. If you are not here in person send your amount to Rev. A. W. Ross, Executive Secretary, care of Dr. W. H. Young 310 Quincy St., Topeka, Kansas. Our Seminary is moving along nicely under Dr. J. H.

We are urging that each church send Pastor and two workers to Conference and Training Institute held in connection with the Board Meeting. This Institute is for the purpose of teaching the churches the New Order of things, that those present will go home and teach the membership of the churches what the $10,000 Budget means to each of them. Brethren, we are stewards of God. We must use our stewardship as becometh a faithful steward. Are You doing your part to make the Program of the Kingdom a success? May God bless you. A. W. ROSS.
