Israel Taken In'o Captivity (iv. c). This was in fulfillment of that which Amos had predicted in the days of Jeroboam II at a time when the nation was at the height of its prosperity. The northern kingdom was ruled by alncteen kings, all of whom were wicked. Their wickedness was not because of lack of information or opportunity but in spite of it. God promised the first kings his blessing if he would be loyal to Him. Jeroboam departed from God and the apostasy thus begun continued downward to the end. In the reign of Hoshen the last king, the king of Assyria came and besieged Samarra and carried the children of Israel captive to Assyria, from which they never returned. II. The Sins Which Caused Their Doom (vv. 7-18). 1. Conformed to the Ways of the Heathen (vv.7.9) God had commanded them not to follow in the ways of the Heathen, but those Israelites, instead of maintaining lives of separation, secretly did that which was displeasing to God. Secret sins, as surely as open sins, being true, for all things are naked and open to life with whom we have to do. The One who visits first, ment upon the sinner knows all things. 2. Serve idols (vv. 10 17). They not only compromised by "walking in the statutes of the heathen," but worshiped their gods. It was a short step from following in the statutes of the heathen to worshiping their gods. Before they worshiped idols they cast off the true God. Indeed idolatry came into the world because the race did not wish to retain God in its affections (Romans 1:21 23). Idolatry did not come in through ignorance but through willful perverseness. People today worshiping false gods have first cast off the authority of the living God. Man is a religious being. When he censuses to worship the true God he worships other gods. 3. They Were Rebellious (av. 1317) God by his prophets has said unto them, "Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments," but they stubbornly refused His testimonies, even rejected His statutes. God in love tried to save them. He sent some of the noblest and best prophets who ever spoke to men to persuade them to turn from their sins, such as Liljah and Ilishim, but they stiffened their necks and plunged deeper into wickedness. This they did in defiance of God. 4. Caused Their Sons and Daughters to Pass Through Fire (v 17). This was the dreadful Molech worship, the most cruel rite of heathen worship. It was done by kindling a fire in a hollow metal image until its arms were red hot and placing live children there in to be burned to death. This was the depth to which the Israelites had sunk. 5. Resorted to Magical Practices (v 17) When faith in the true God wanes men always turn to the magical arts. In this way the Israelites sold themselves to evil in the sight of the Lord and provoked Him to anger. III. The Judgment Falls (v 18). At this stage of the drama the curtain dropped God could not be inactive longer. 1. God Was Very Angry. His anger is not raying fury but the revulsion of His holy nature against sin that cannot tolerate sin in His presence. His wrath must strike. Though He waits long, the debt must be paid and that always with compound interest. There is only one way to escape God's wrath; that is to turn from sin unto God through Jesus Christ. 2. Remove Them Out of HIs Night The land of Palestine is regarded as the land of God's sight—that is, the place of HIs manifested presence. These people are still scattered among the nations and as a political organization they will never return to their land. The judgment was severe, but not more so than the sins merited. God had waited long. The despairing of HIs grace eventually works ruin. Therefore, what judgment must fall upon the people who in the light of this day reject HIs grace and HIs mercy. Practical Christianity "Go," never spells "Stay." We need more religion in the soil, as well as in the soul—a walking as well as a talking religion. The trouble is not so much with non-church-going masses, as the non-going church. We need not only a lookout committee but a "Go-out" committee.—II. G. Gibbud. A Christian A Christian is one who follows Christ, but is a leader of men.—Christian Herald. TRADE AT PIGGLY WIGGLY Nearest your home and share in the saving where QUALITY AND PRICE MEET.

Washington is indeed a great pastor and teacher and we are more than proud of him. At 7:30 S. School program began with Supt., Sister McDonald, conducting; she is truly a great woman and puts much energy into making this program a success. At 8:30 Easter Cantata began; Mrs. Ethel Booker deserves much credit in arranging such a splendid affair. Quite a few visitors present.

Instead of serving supper once a month, the Mission Sisters have decided to give a rally after the 15th of each month. Last Thursday $3.00 was taken up and only 5 sisters belonging to the circle and one brother; he is the pastor. We think we are going well. We have about $15.00 in the treasure and pay the light bill for the church every month and help out otherwise when they are in need. We are looking for Rev. Ross on the 3rd Sunday in May. We are hoping with the help of the Lord to make that day a great day spiritually and financially. Sunday is cur regular pastoral day. Every Christian should come out and hear what he has to say. The weather is fine row. In a few months, those who hide behing excuses will say, "It is too hot." NOTICE!!! Rev. G. W. Dickerson, the manager of the St. Louis Branch Sunday School Pub.

Manhattan News. RED STAR HILLING CO RED STAR WICHITA, KS We have just closed one of the greatest revivals in the history of our church. April 6th we started war on satan and his host; under the leadership and preaching of our pastor; with Sister A. S. L. Winston doing the singing, "Nuff sed." for 11 days we battled and when the smoke had rolled away, 17 had left the ranks of satan. It can truly be said that Sister Winston is a sweet singer in Israel. No church will make a rustake in securing her services. Total amount raised including two Sunday, $250.00. This week we are closing one of the most successful years in the history of the church. Pastor Bratton came to us one year ago this Sunday from Gallatin, Mo., where he did a telling work. When he came to us we were in indigent circumstances; our pastor had been ill a long time before the Lord took him home, naturally the sheep scattered. The first thing Bro. Bratton did was to launch a soul saving campaign which got the forces together and added several new members; with organized forces a rally was launched. For nine weeks we worked, when the final count was made we had $907.00. With this amount we were able to pay all our indebtedness, paper the church, put in new furnace and other needed repairs. With everything in order; in December we went into battle with Rev. W. C. Cartwright of Atchison, preached the Gospel with power 10 nights. Thirty-six joined the host that John saw; 23 for baptism. The organizations perfected are as follows:—Model B. Y. P. U., the e brotherhood, Junior church, The Cosmopolitan Glee Club composed of 50 young men, 1924 Club; this club is composed of all the members who have come into the church this year; Junior Choir, Junior Mission, Tithung Club, with 15 members. Eighty new members have come the church raising the membership to 256 in 12 months and raised $3500 00. All of this being taken up over the table except the $900 00 in rally. Rev. and Mrs. Bratton are products of Western Baptist College. Members of the c'ass of '22; with only one year's experience he presides like a young veteran. His motto is: "Let us be brothers." So much for the pastor but I could not close without a word for his good wife for she is half of the battle: sweet, gentle, intelligence... dignified, womanly; her characteristics, true. Side by side, she works with with her husband for the best interest of all concerned; our motto: "Ebeybody up, nobody down." (Miss) Alice Robnet, Reporter. Emporia News. Sunday morning bright and beautiful; birds are singing; spring is here. We are so thankful to God for having spared us to see spring when so many are gone. Sunday School on time; Supt. Rev. G. Pratt brought out many points on this temperance lesson, necessary for everybody to sign the pledge. Devotion by Deacon Colyar; the pastor called or a volunteer to read the 6th chapter of Revelation. Sister Barnes came forward and read. Song: "Are You Ready for the Judgment Day?" Pastor Barnes took for his subject: "Great Day Coming." He told us at this great day each will get air pay. If we have worked and served God and humanity as we ought because we will have to get along with humanity on earth to please God, etc; and work is the only medium to keep us out of mischief. In the afternoon the Mission Circle gave a program which including a reading by Miss Griffin; talk by Mrs. Minnie Douglas. Rev. Barnes then preached from John 11; Sister Barnes introduced the life of our Mission Circle, the Hope Magazine. This being tile day, the little folks were requested to buy one, at 7c; $10 were raised by the little folks. Ones raising most money were Addie Gandy $5.00; Hermone Holt $0.70; Marguerite West $5.29; Mabel Murray $8.69; Mary Alice Gandy $12.29; the last 2 girls won the prizes. Rev. Robert Everett preached the funeral of Mr. Joseph White at Lang. Mr. White was a well respected citizen. Eat More Bread zen, loved by all; more than half the congregation being white. Rev Evelett complimented the pastor for throwing open his doors; and we must bear one another's burdens in order to reach heaven. The children of Mr. White are Miss Mary White, Mr. Albert White, Mr. Geo. Henry and Tom White. Those on the sick list are Mr. Frank Cheatom, Sister Epps, Mr. O. Davis, Sister Henderson, Mr. Kirk Bridges was in Emporia on business. He says he is on the carpet too, and this is 1924 and his box number is 51 Dunlap, Kansas. We are wonderin' why Mrs. Price has moved to Canada. Chanute Notes. Mr. Emmett Hall has returned from Illinois, where he spent the winter; he reports a splendid stay, his wife is all smiles. Quite a few from Iola, spent Sunday in the city and lunched at the Rightway Cafe and count Mr. and Mrs. Middlebrook real hostess. Pastor Branch was at his best Sunday morning and delivered one of his great sermons from Amos 1:6; the congregation seemed very much impressed with the sermon. Rev. W. A. Nelson spoke at the evening service from Amos 7:2. It was both logical and spiritual. Mr. Chas. Fields, Supt., is preparing for another drive for district and state work among the teachers who choose, with their classes to race a mile in state work: Mrs. Johnnie Johnson, Mr. S. Cole, Mr. J. S.

She must study the needs and ways and she must plan and build accordingly. She must be all things to all men, if by any means, she may win some. gram of activities must capture the interest, and mold the life of all. If she wants to be the centsal influence in the life of old end young she must make her appeal thro every avenue, recreational, social, educational and worshipful. Religious exercises precious to maturer saints may be quite meaningless to boys and girls, where they are, and must reveal to them a Christ who is present on the playground, and at parties no less than in the sanctuary. In the past few decades, the church has made immense discoveries in this sphere, which have revolutionized her methods in training of her youth. The departmental church school, with graded worship and instruction, with organized classes and through the week activities, excels the Shnday School of forty years ago as a pipe organ excels an accordion. The B. Y. P. U., and Leaghes have also come to contribute mightily to the training of Christian youth. With these measures the church is turning the tide. The church's message is forever the same. Her methods must change with times and conditions. Her single motive is to lead men, women and children into fellowship with God. To achieve that single end she must employ every useful expedient. She must touch the life of young and old, at as many points possible. She must interpret Christ to romping boys and girls, to eager youths, brimful of ideals and hopes and doubts, to men and women grappling with life's stern problems.

Murrow assailed all to sing: "Just think on his goodness to You." He then discussed: "Loyalty to Our Denomination to Its Program; How to Operate." He said impart: "to claim to be a Baptist and support other denominations, while his denomination surfs is not loyalty, but treason and spiritual suicide. Many Christian will pay you to go to a Sunday Base Ball Game; and will not give a cent for Christian development. God a way is not to keep the people by moving pictures, chicken inners, etc. We must missionize the children in the S. S. we thinks that the S. S. should have papers on mission, sing missionary songs and have missionary lectures. Pres. W. A. Bowren responded with the following suggests: The obligations to all or the baptist causes should be made plain and each body should know its part of the budget. J. H. Garnett thinks: "Unless we become willing to honor God with our substance it all is a sounding brass and a tinkling symbol. Rev. C. E. Woods thinks the fault is in the organization and system. Prof. H. I. Munroe, President of the Kansas State S. S. Convention said impart: The young people are the churches biggest asset. The Sunday school Convention is behind the State Missionary Program and small fields are being blessed by making it possible to keep ministers on the need.

We must stand by the Central Baptist Theological Seminary and put up a $10,000 building and start a campaign to fill the school across the street.

"Brave Bulklets" was the subject of a sermon by the pastor Rev, R, L Pope, at 11 a. m. It was, from the Book of Neth, 3.6: "I am doing a brave work and cannot come down," were the words spoken by Neh.; showing that when we are engaged in doing a good work for God, that we should not yield, to the allurements of sin and come down and mingle with the world amid sin and temptations.

THE CHURCH OF TO-MORROW Continued from Page four.) and soaring for Christ, and His service multitudes of young people and the end is not yet. The program of the church school is constantly expanding. There is another matter which the church of today is putting new emphasis. It is the promotion of Christian fellowship. "The church is a household of faith," and Christians are members one of another. Sometimes this fact has been forgotten, and the church has lost warmth and power because her members scarcely knew each other. The brotherliness of the apostolic days was missing. Wise Christian leadership was discovered, the seriousness of his loss, and is endeavoring more and more to center the social life of Christians in their church. These acts tremendously affect church, architecture. The church building of yesterday was an auditorium—to which all was merely accessory. But today the church that relies on the pulpit alone is doomed. The dominant church building of to morrow will be a composite building, or group of buildings, in which religious education and Christian fellowship will be adequately provided for as public worship. Ridying that "The Sun" may continue to shine into many homes. Yours for The Sur, Sadie E. Walthall.
