GOLDEN TEXT—"Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with Good" —Rom 12 21. PRIMARY TOPIC—God Caring for Ellisha JUNIOR TOPIC—Ellisha's Goodness to His Enemies INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How to Turn Enemies Into Friends YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—What Elisha Meant to His Nation 1. Elisha, Elijah's Successor (I Kings 10:15-21; II Kings 2:2 15.) 1. His Anointing (I Kings 10:15-21). In obedience to the Lord's command, Elijah went forth from his hiding place in Hereh to anoint Elisha as prophet. While Elisha was plowing with oxen Elijah passed by and cast his mantle upon him. 2. His Training (II Kings 2:29). Eilisha came into the life of Eiljah in the field, where he called him forth from the plow, and there was thenceforth real friendship between them such that Eilisha clung to his master to the very last, in spite of three urgent requests for him to remain behind. 3. Eilisha's Double Portion (II Kings 2:12 15). (1) Eilisha's cry (v. 12). "The charlot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof." This implies that Eiljah was the true national defense. (2) Eilisha takes his place (v. 13). The taking of Eiljah's mantle indicates his assumption of his place as a prophet. (3) Elijah's spirit upon Eilsha (vv. 14, 15). This is proven by the use of his power to divide the Jordan. Also it is proven by the testimony of the scars of the prophets. II. Eilsha's Ministry (II Kings 3:10). I The Trenches Filled With Water (Clip. 3:10-20). Jehoram, in alliance with the king of Judah, went against the Monbites. His army was in great struts for lack of water. When they appealed to Eilsha, he hade them show their faith by digging trenches in desert soil The Lord sent water to fill the trenches. 2. Increase of the Widow's Oil (Clap. 4:1-7). This woman's husband had died, leaving a debt, and the creed itor was about to make bondmen of her two sons. Elisha caused the scant supply of the widow's oil to be so increased that she sold enough to pay the debt. 3. The Shunamite's Son Restored (Clap. 4:8-37). Because of hospitality shown Elisha, he sought to help his hostess by promising that the Lord would give her a child. The joy brought by the fulfillment of the prohet's announcement was short-lived, for while yet but a lad he was taken away by death. In her sorrow she wert to Elisha and he restored the child's 4. Heats Deadly Pottage (Chap. 4: 88-41). In time of famine they made a vegetable soup from whatever growing plants they could find. By mistake a poisonous plant had been gathered. By putting meal into the pot, the soup was made healthful. 5. Fed One Hundred Men (Chap. 4: 42-44). To the astonishment of his attendant, he fed one hundred men with twenty barley cakes and a sack of uncooked grain. 6. He Healed Naaman, the Leper (Chap. 5:1-19). At the instance of a captive Jewish maid, Naaman, the great Syrian general, was brought into touch with Elisha. Without even coming to see Naaman Elisha, through his servant, hade him dip seven times in the Jordan. He obeyed and was instantly healed. 7. Recovers the Lost Axe (Chap. 6:1-7). While the sons of the prophets were cutting timber to enlarge their quarters, the head of a borrowed axe flew from the handle and was lost in the muddy waters. When shown the place Elisha cast a stick into the water and the axe floated to the surface. III. Elisha's Heavenly Defenders (II Kings 6:8-23). This shows the secret of Ellisha's power. 1. The Syrian King Sorcely Troubled (vv. 8-12). The king directing warfare against Israel. He located camps so as to intercept Israel's army. Through Ellisha God made known the enemy's movements (v. 9). 2. The Syrian King Tries to Trap Ellisha, but, though surrounded by the Syrian army, a mightier host of heavenly defenders were round about him. 3. The Syrian Army Trapped Ellisha led the Syrian army into Samarla. He ordered that they should be fed and sent back to their land. He Came to Save Sinners When a prominent man dies, we are anxious to get his last words and acts. The last act of the Son of God was to save a sinner. That was a part of the glory of His death. He commenced His ministry by saving sinners, and ended it by saving this poor thief.—D. L. Moody.

Many are going to do more for the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ. A great revival his in progress. Our pastor is preaching hard to influence souls to accept Christ as their personal Saviour. Sunday night his text, Matt. 14:18; subject: "Prodigal Son;" revealed many true points and 7 persons were added to the church. May God bless our much loved pastor for we are praying that every effort put forth for His cause will succeed. Collection $15.00. The B. Y. P. U., is putting over a program for Jesus. The Mission Circle is a spiritual organization and in this they are lifting up Christ everywhere they go and are going over the top financially.

THERE is no earthly power greater than the CHRISTIAN CHURCH, and there is no force in life whether in secular or sacred spheres fitted to stand or sit in the HOLY OF HOLIES of a CHRISTIAN CHURCH that has not been invested with the sublime dignity of an ambassador of HIS SUPREME MAESTY GOD THE FATHER and GOD THE SON, and GOD THE HOLY CHOST ruler sublime of all domains and MIGHTY MONARCH of THE UNIVERSE. The question of propriety is one that cannot be doubted. The rights of an ambassador belong only to a qualified CHRISTIAN MINISTER. The pulpit of a CHRISTIAN CHURCH is the exalted earthly Thrice of GOD, and only His trusted representatives has a right to occupy its Holy space. PRINCIPLES MUST TRIUMPH even IF FRIENDS MUST PART and MEN FALL. LET not those who do not acknowledge the Sovereignty of GOD outrank His trusted messengers of Glad Tidings. Nor yet enjoy equal rank in the Kingdom with His Majesty's Ambassadors. No man is greater than he who can stand firm in the face of great confusion confident that the final adjustment of all matters will be attended and fully determined by Him Who has said: "And lo I am with thee alway even to the enr."

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. Garnett; the demands for better and larger accommodations are upon us. 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.

The object of so doing was to eliminate overhead expenses and so conserve our financial strength; and, also our much needed enthusiasm. It is therefore needful that I urge upon all the Associations, Churches, Pastors and every auxiliary and even every individual member to bring and send to this Board your full apportions. Come with hearts full of love and pocket-books full of money for the Cause. Come prepared to render well your part on the Program. OJR SLOGAN IS $2000 00. Don't Fail Us Brethren. P.
