The weight of the world and its sins resting upon His shoulders, making His soul sorrowful indeed. The Holy Spirit truly present in our midst. Before Communion, a short testimonial meeting was held and it did our souls go to hear the determination of the true soldiers of the cross, expressed willing to fight on and to keep the faith.

WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN NEWTON Sunday, April 27th services at 2nd Baptist Church, Rev. O. B. Ware, A. B., Pastor, were good, being blessed with such a beautiful day, it seemed that the hearts of the Christians were more inclined with their hungry souls for worship and all Christians who are attempting to obey God were striving to contribute something. S. S., all teachers present; a practical lesson was drawn from the subject, Mr. D. D. Skelton presented the banner to Mrs. S. Merciones the teacher of class number 5, as a reward for her most efficient service to that class; we are unable to determine just who will get the banner at the end of this quarter as all the teachers are live wires. The congregation having been charged with the wonderfully taught School and song services, you can imagine our climax in the morning services, when our beloved pastor turned his face to the rostrum and his heart to the Lord; it seemed as if you could see the strong and unfailing hand of God, reaching down to catch the piny hands of His children. His text was from 1st Peter 21: "Leaving us an example that ye should follow His steps;" he pointed out the facts that Christ was our example in—1st. His thoughts; 2nd His sentiments; 3rd, His temper, 4th, His conduct. Then he explained the superiority of example to precept. Our hearts were made to rejoice in the great examples of our Christ as we hang never before. At 2 p.m., the citizens met at 2nd Baptist Church to be addressed by a committee of white speakers from Topkaka, on Law Enforcement and Prohibition; these men spoke with power and when they had finished they had us face to face with the facts, no doubt we could not have had otherwise. We contributed to that cause and am praying for the time when the law shall be enforced and all of them for when men can walk over one law, they soon lose respect for any of them. At 6:30 p. m., Miss Geneva Mercoma, President of B. Y. P. U., one of Newton's most efficient young ladies, and one of whom we are proud, goes about her Christian duty without a murmur, watching as we call, the small things; but if we would take a glance at the masses that are taken from the bowels of the earth, analyze them, we would find them made from particles so small that the naked eye cannot behold them, yet, had not these small particles existed this massive rock would have been impossible according to Philosophy; and she is sparing no pains striving in every way to see the molecules and atoms of character all molded just right, as some day they must play their part and the durability will depend upon the density of this character to the Life of Christ. Pastor Ware was at his post, with persuasive message; he pointed out with cloquence the difference between being almost and altergator a Christian, and with power he told us what (a) To believe in Christ's Doctrines; (b) To rely on His statement; (c) To love His person; (d) To practice His religion. At the conclusion of this powerful message it appeared that the hearers were altogether persuaded to practice Christian religion. Some of the brethren said this was the greatest sermon the Dr, had ever preached since his pastorate in Newton, but we think that every time we hear him, and the best of all, we are thankful to God for sending us a leader like this to take up the cause where Rev. Williams, our deceased pastor, left off. Mr. Jessie Dixon went to Emporia, this week to the contest. Mr. Dixon is a singer of whom the State of Kansas is justly proud; he is in every race and usually brings back the bacon, and we are awaiting his return. Mrs. Bledsoe and Mrs. Perry, our sick ones, who have just undergone operations are mending nicely and we are wishing for their early convalescence and early return home. Mr. Jack Ross, our assistant superintendent is holding his own; and we are proud of him. Mrs. P. M. Meridith is a bit ill; we hope to see her out soon. The summer season is coming on and we are hoping to complete temple this summer; if we all pull together we feel the battle is ours—P. M. Meridith, S. S. Junt. 218 E. 12th.

His grandmother was the wicked Athaiah an II his great great parents were Abah and Jezebel. There was enough bad blood in his veins to assume his doom. Despite this fact, he brought about some noble reforms and turned the people back to God. I. Athaiah Uaurps the Throne, (sv. 131) 1. Her Attempt to Destroy the Seed Royal (v. 1) . a order to remove any rightful claimant to the throne was tried to kill all the royal male children. The act was not of sound in anpulse, but of deliberate purpose. 2. Josiah Preserved by Jeanshah (iv. 2, 3). Though Athafah was keen eyed, she was checkmated by another woman. This woman, the wife of the priest, stole away this child and billed him away in a bedhambar for six years. God had promised that through the Davide line the Jeanshah should come. In order that this line be unbroken Joash must be preserved. No purpose of God can fall. 11. Joash Creeved King (v. 4. 12) 1. Jolohol's Preparations (v. 4. 11). The high priest and his wife were strong characters. As the high priest, Jolohol felt that it was his duty to thwart the heathen project of Athallah. His wife's cooperation made possible the saving of Josh. (1) Seeks the aid of the military leaders (v. 4). He knew somehow that these men were not loyal to Athallah. (2) He took an oath of them in the house of the Lord (v. 4) He bound them to the agreement by every available means. (3) He incited their spirit of patrolism (v. 4) He gave them a sight of the king's son. This, no doubt, was a great surprise. Now, having seen the heir to the throne, they would ask everything, even their lives. In order to set him on the throne, (4) He coordinates all battles (v. 5-11). The soldiers were divided into companies and arms were distributed to them. Each group was assigned to specific duties. 2. The Coronation (v. 12)... (1) The king's son brought forth. This was a great day in Jerusalem. (2) Put the crown upon him. This was the formal induction into office. (3) Gave him the testimony. This was a copy of the law indicating that the king was to rule according to the law of God. The act of putting the law on his head showed that the king himself would be under control of the law. (4) Made him king. This shows that he had been made king by the choice of the people. (5) Annotated him. They poured oil upon his head. This was the usual method of consecrating prophets, priests and kings. (6) Clapped their hands. This was a token of joy. The deed being done, they were ready to publicly proclaim it. They shouted "Long live the king." 1. The Noise of the Coronation of Jonah Brought Athaltha to the Temple (v. 15). Up to this time she thought her place on the throne was secure and that her heathen religion had free course. 2. Her Doom (v. 14). Upon her arrival at the temple she saw the king wearing the crown and surrounded by guards so that she could do nothing. In her despair she exclaimed "Treason, treason." This was not treason, but the triumph of right over wrong - the defeat of conspiracy and plotting. 3. Athaltha Executed (v. 15, 16). The orders were that she should not be killed in the temple. They led her out by the way of the horses' entrance to the king's palace and slew her. What a tragic end for the sinner. Sin can only preffer for a time. IV. Worship of the People (vv. 17, 18). Jonah was seven years old when he was made king. The high priest made a covenant between the Lord, the king and the people that they would be the Lord's people. In carrying out this covenant they broke down the temple of Baal and slew the priests of Baal.

We have come to the time when man must look back at the cross and look through the mirror of time and see how Christ shed His precious blood on Calvary's Tree, that we might have a right to the Tree of Life Everlasting. We ought to serve Him the mute for His great love He had for us. Sunday afternoon, the school had an excellent program coached by Mrs. V.
