Is the question of- fen asked by those who’ view thi alarming situation and are giving it some thought and are wondering what to do or rather what steps should be taken to stop our boys and girls from dropping out of school be. tore they enter high school or college. Well, let’s see, the youth, desirous of quitting school before time, comes home with an armful of books, sits ‘down all disgusted and in {uisitive parents ask eon or daughter what is it? then comes—‘Ah pa, the teachers don’t treat us right; or those white teachers discrinate or make a differ- ence and I believe I will quit school and get a job in a shoe shining par- lor or kitchen I am tired of insults and the way the students treat me. And they quit; the result is blasted on the part of the parents and a life of servitude for the quitter. Now the answer or solution to it all is first I will as you to bring back from that mound or the hill where sleeps that old time mother or father, who prayer to the God of Heaven that their boy or girl might enter and finish school or college with credit or reach the mark of high- calling where many start, and few finish; that parent, when you or I raid what we were going to do, would tell us what they wanted done, we usually did for fear of the hereafter; but we don’t do that now, we maintain the home for our children’s comfort they tell us what they will or and they run them to their liking, or will not do and we sit idly by and ery, ‘can’t make my children do any- thing!’ Well, who is the blame, the children? No. They have taken no more liberty than you have given them; If you tave started them it is hard to take from them that you once cacorded them, Now let’s go back just a few years and thick what would have happened to you and me [f we had come home and Intimated, much less say that we were not going back to school, or that we were not going to do any- thing, without first consulting them as to what they wanted done. I still hold that father and mother that ruled their homes and their ctuldren, and whatever they said was tight, and was law and Gospel and not to be questioned by ua nor any outsider as to why it was. Then we turned out in larger numbers, men and women with learning, honor and character. In those good old days we speak of you were not regarded very highly unless you at least finished hig! school and at least attended college; and tt was the hope and aspiration of all to finish high school and college with high honors—but now we give them the glad hand for quitting be- fore time. Talk to them about their needing an education some day, is all wrong or that they are missing this golden op~ portunity and they will tell you it is none of your business. ‘True, it isn't your business, personally, but if you Jove your race, you at least feet interested in the welfare of the youth. But there is an old saying: that if you convince a fool against his will, he fs of the same opinion still. Shakespeare once said, where ignorance is bliss, it fe folly to be wire. If it isn't in them to be some- body, we can't force them. Well what is wrong? We have lowered the ideals; we are not pointing high to our youths. We are too anxious to make men and women of them before time; marry them off and watch their fail, then stand off and say they arc no good. Why? Because we haven't made them so unless they go through school or college and fit themselves, they are unfit for tho battles of life in these days. Why? Because the times Lave changed and even demand more of the race than In those days when the parents detanled more. ‘We aneak of oppression and dis- crimination; who went through the schocis of those by-gone days with- out the sting of oppression and dis- crimination? I would be glad to see them. You talk of how students treat you; you fail to get something into your head besides hard work and how ‘you are treated and see if you won't belong to the common herd, and 30 you will be treated. In speab of stumbling blocks, ignorance is the greatest of them all, ‘The reason for ro much school- auitting is the lack of prayerful home hfe, lack of parental care, too much frivolity and lberty and no ‘sticha bility. The way to get through: Pray more yoursclf for yourself, asking for wis. dom and understanding; more love for your parents and fellowman, less rhoveht about your color, more time to the etudy of good books, more de termination to make it and be rome- body~ Trust God and hustle and you you won't fail, , ——— 3S “A reading man {s a man who knaws the way he js traveling’. — TO REWARD.

Our campaign against sin which has been conducted by the Veteran Goapel Min- ister of Kansas in the person of Dr. Skinner of Coffeyville, has been a suc- cess. The Sunday School was well at- tended. Teachers and pupils are striving to be on time. ‘At the 11:00 o'clock services Dr. Skinner brought us a soul-stirring message taken from 14th chapter of Exaius and 15th verse. A’ great spiritual sermon dealing with orders given to children of Israel by God and Son the same orders are being given to Christian Church to go forward. The Spint of co-operation was urged for good of avery department of the shurch. The Speaker stated that their is too much division and selfishness in the church, and that we must work together as one single umt for good, We must obey leadership; we must learn to recognize leadership. To Bucceed we must obey the divine law of Ged It is necessary for us to go forward in order to out strip the ene- may, At close of this message one ad~ dition to church, We again assembled at 3:00 o'clock and Dr, Skinner spoke at this time from subject: “Wutnesses for Christ,” take from 24th chapter of Luke and 48th verse. A great message was de- hivered on Christians being witnesses for Christ; because we know of our salvation, we are able to witness for Christ. We need divine power to wit ness effectively for Christ; and it fs our duty as Christians to witness for Christ. At close of message an old time covenant meeting was had and the Spirit, was felt in our midst, At 6:00 o’clock we assembled Js the basement for B, Y, P.

GOLDEN TEXT—Righteousness exalteth a nation but sin is a reproach to any people—Iron 14 24. PRIMARY TOPIC—What a Boy King Did JUNIOR TOPIC—The Destruction of Jerusalem INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Last Days of Jerusalem YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—A Nation in Rulns 1. The Sina of the Nation (sv. 11-10). 1. Zedekiah, the King (sv. 11-13). 1. Zedekiah, the King (vv. 11-13). (1) Insubordination to God's prophet (v. 12) In the theocratic government of Israel God's prophet occupied a higher place than the king himself. The prophet was God's messenger instead of receiving Jeremiah as God's messenger and conforming his life to God's will, as made known by the prophet he refused to humble himself before God. (2) Rebellion against Nebuchadnezar (v. 13). Zedekiah was made king of Judah by the king of Babylon but, in spite of this kindness and the word of the Lord spoken to him by Jeremiah (Jer 39 17, 18; 52-3), he rebelled against the king of Babylon. (3) He attested his neck and hardened his heart against God (v. 13). Those who rebel against rightly constituted authority soon are resisting the wily and grace of God. 2. The Priests and People (vv 14-10). (1) They followed the heathen (v. 14). Even the priests who m'n'stoured in the house of God were practicing the sins of the heathen nations surrounding them. (2) They polluted the house of the Lord (v. 14). The house of the Lord was sacred, having been dedicated to the Lord and consecrated to His service. For priests to ordinate while living lives of impurity was pollution to God's house. (3) They mocked God's messengers (v. 10). Instead of receiving them as from God, they mocked them. (4) They desplaced God's word (v. 10). To set at naught God's counsel is to despise His word (Prov. 1:27). (5) Misused God's prophets (v. 16). They not only mocked them but imprisoned some and slew others. This they persisted in until God could no longer restrain His wrath. 11. The Judgment Falls (vv. 17 21). 1. Slaughter by the Sword (v. 17). So severe did this judgment fall that the King of the Chaldees slew young men even in the house of the sanctuary and "had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man or him that stopped for use" 2. The Treasures and Sacred Vessels Carried to Babylon (v. 18). This included, not only the treasures of the house of the Lord, but of the king and his princes. 3. Burned the House of God (v. 19). This was the sacred temple built by Solomon with certain additions and modifications. 4. Broke Down the Walls of Jerusalem (v. 10). The aim in this was to render the walls useless as a means of defense. 5. Burned the Palaces (v. 10). It would seem that the common houses were left for the poor people who remained in the land. 6. Destroyed All the Goodly Vessels (v. 10). This would mean that the palaces were plundered of all that was valuable. 7. Carried the People Into Captivity and Made Slaves of Them (v. 20) Those who had escaped the sword were now carried away and enslaved. It would seem that a number of people had deserted to the Babylonians. From II Kings 25:12 we learn that the poorest of the people were left in the land. Those who would not likely make any trouble were left as dressers and husbandmen. Since the custom was to colonize conquered territory by foreign peoples, the object in leaving the poor people was that the country might be ready and over these people Gedallah was appointed with headquarters at Mizpeh. When the walls were broken Zedekiah fled by night, his object being doubtless to cross the Jordan at Jericho and hide in the mountains east of Jordan. He was overtaken in the plains of Jericho (II Kings 25:5) by the Chaldean army. He was captured and taken to the king of Babylon who was at Kiblah, a town north of Damascus. Zedekiah was tried before Nebuchadnezar, his eyes were put out, he was bound with fetters of brass, and carried away to Babylon, where he remained a prisoner until the day of his death (Jor. 31). Topeka News Items. Our Sunday School is increasing, numerically Sixty-one pupils (61) including officers were present, Sunday morning. The Rev. S. E. J. Watson, Pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Temple of Chicago, and a brother to our pastor, Rev. C. M. Watson, was indeed a pleasant and welcome guest to our school. He gave a splendid review. We also noted the presence of Mr. and Mrs. II H. Buckner, formerly of Pratt; they are employed at the T. E. I. I. They are indeed efficient for the task assigned them. for the task assigned them. At 10:30 o'clock a spiritual devotion was enjoyed. Church was filled at 11 o'clock. Several visitors present. Scripture lesson by pastor, Item. 8:1-20; prayer by Rev. S. Johnson, Rev. S. E. J. Watson was introduced by pastor, many hands were raised to receive him. He preached a wonderful sermon; text, Psalm 98:1; "His right hand and his holy arm has gotten two victory." A practical and spiritual message was well delivered. He assured us that victory belongs to God and if we continue to work, exercising faith we are encouraged to wait on God for victory. We should have patience to want, because God works in due time, don't get in a hurry but wait on God, because He has power over victory, and this comes through prayer; and when victory is ours, we should glory in God and not in ourselves. A beautiful discourse of encouragement. Our hearts were made to burn as he spoke. We hope Rev. S. E. J. Watson will come again. The mother of the Rev. Wattsons, was present Sunday morning and heartily received by the congregation. A special offering was taken for nor, and presented by the 'baby boy,' Rev. C. M. Watson. He was very happy to present, $22.01. There was a splendid demonstration of love manifested between the mother and sons; a chain that will not be broken, no separation until death. The B. Y. P. U., is doing nicely, and planning for a financial gift. Bro. E. E. Evan talked on the subject: "What Makes Home Attractive?" A splendid interest was manifest. At 8 o'clock Scripture lesson by J. Northington; prayer by Bro. Smith. Pastor chose his text from 6th chapter Isa. 9; "And He shall be called the Wonderful Counselor; subject: "The Wonderful Christ." Rev. Watson gave Biblical evidence that our Christ is wonderful. Our pastor preached good as he always does; glad to listen to him; his sermons are always so new and interesting. Pray for us. He was so happy all day with his mother and brother present. After the sermon the mother gave us a very instructive talk in which she told the old and young what they needed to know along the lines of modesty. We appreciated her talk much. Her home is in Oklahoma, but she is enroute to Chicago, with her son for an indefinite stay. She expressed her appreciation to the members of Mt.

It seems good to him to protect” self, thus his vision is brought to close range and erelong, he can’t even de- tect a spark of good in others, This is when the friction starts, and frit- tions end in destruction. Hot heads are like hot boxes, they goon burn up and set other things afire that is con- nected. Lookout Americans. there is something getting too hot: you can’t agree on the Doctrines of the Buble, religions freedom, personal privileges citizenship nor pohtics. Tt” mere burning of a cross like many other acts of crazed minds {s merely indicative and collet- tive community brain storms perpe- tuated by radical neurotic. Men ought and must in this peculiar period re- fuse positively to allow vain methods to excitea community to sweep them off of their feet. The Negro at beat is not easily swept away into fear by the mere burning of a crosss which he refuese to concede as representa. tlve of anything, but the moat de- graded type of humanity engaged in a deplorable attempt to set aside the lofty provisions of the Magna Char- ter; challenge the sublimity of Civ: ilization’s ancient Bill of Rights; A- rest the lawful operation of the Con. stitution of The United States and bring about a retrogressive period of revolutionary react in the United States. The Negro however has beer awakened hy the thunder voice of @ world war in which we engaged and caught both the scent of blood stained poppie fields as well as the sickening stench of filthy trench while he strug: gied in the Name of Fraternity, Li. ty and Democracy and it will now take more than the mere burning of fiery crosses symbolice of s program which he ABSOLUTELY REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE to scare him away from the lawful steps of Americar Citizenship or a close demand of the rights of such Citizenship.
