CROSSED OVER LOGTOWN, MISS, Aug 22—As the sun crossed the meridian on July 22, 1924, wincing its way to western highlands, Charles Samuel Todd Adams, breathed his last in this world. The end came as peaceful as the whisper of a passing zephyr. Mr. Adams was one of the best known men in religious circles in southern Mississippi, having served as superintendent of Sunday Schools for more than 35 years and at the time of his demise, was the president of the Gulf Coast Sunday School Convention, which he led successfully for seven years. The Relation Of The S. School To The Other Auxiliaries.Of The Ch. No longer can the Sunday School similar be regarded as a mere appendage of the Church, the care of which can be left wholly to well-intentioned, but often-times untrained people. One reed but follow the trend of modern thoughts and discussion in our Church ringazines and Sunday School periodicals to see that the discerning leaders of our time are increasingly recognizing that the strategic point of victory for the Kingdom of God is the sector known as the Sunday School. Psychologists, like Starbuck and Coe, have shown us in graphic ways that the probability of conversion lies in the early adolescent years. This being so it is not more than the truth to say that the modern Sunday School has been raised up of God to capture the youth of today for the Kingdom. It is the indispensable instrumentality for this great work. SOUTHWEST DISTRICT RAPT ASSOCIATION HOLD (Continued from last issue) A great german was preached by V. S. Cooper from the subject: "I shall Know Nothing, Save Jesus and Him Crucified;" it was a spiritual feast. Mrs. Winston set the church on spiritual fire with a solo, by special request. 11 a. m. Thursday, sermon by Rev. Wm. Mcleven, pastor, Tabernacle, Wichita. 8.00 p. m. sermon by Rev. W. A. Bowren, State President, Kansas City. Southwest District Association This was one of the most interesting proper opened Friday morning, and progressive sessions in its history. While we did not raise as much money as we had hoped owing to the closeness of the times, it was however one of the most constructive meetings it has been our pleasure to witness. One of the outstanding features of meeting was the very appendid work done by the committee on construction perhaps one of the most important feature of the constitution was that one constitution was made for the asso. and auxillaries another feature was, only one financial call will be made annually to the church in which auxillaries are included. Another feature was that election of Rev, M. S. Jones B, S. T. Executive Secretary of the association all communication touching association; all communications touching associational matters to be addressed to him at Friend, Kansas. The election of officers was very harmonious. The Rev, John Wesley Hayes, A. B., B. D. Wichita, was reelected Moderator; Rev, N. J. Stokes, Pratt, Vice Moderator; Rev, J. E. Douglass, Wichita, Treasurer. --- WOMAN'S SCREAMS SCARE AWAY BURGLAR IN ROOM NEWARK, N. J. Aug. 22—When Mrs. Lizzie Smith, of Academy street was awakened at 2 o'clock Thursday morning by a noise in her room, she saw a white man in her room with a flash in his hand. She screamed and the man leaped through an open window to the ally and fled. The police were notified and immediately searched the neighborhood without result. This being so it will at once be seen that if the Sandy School is going to measure up to its task in these days it will have to be built upon a firmer foundation than that of merely good intentions. As education permeates the mind of the youth more and more it becomes increasingly necessary that we add to the working of our School pedagogical principles. To make this generation spiritual we must not only be saintly, we must be scientific. It is just this that gives significance to the recent merging of the Sunday School Council of Evangelical Denominations with the International Sunday School Association. Alone, neither was competent to face the task of the new day. The Times frivolently demanded a combined comprehensive leadership. The leaders of our school must not only be well intentioned it must also be well trained and the mand to stands at the strategic point to bring to relation this desirable end is the pastor. Of course, in saying this, I have in mind the average Sunday School that has a large enrollment, will see to it that over it there is appointed a Director of Religious Education. The minister of the large church ought not to be expected to supervise the work of the modern Sunday School. It is asking too much of one man. But where the Church and School me it too large for the active oversight of one man it should be understood that the minister is not only pastor of the Church but Super-superintendent of the School. Then in addition to having the pastor recognize that the Sunday School is the center of all church activities and so adjust his programs to the end. There must also be a full recognition of the importance of this faith by the other auxiliaries of the church. And they, by program methods, and definite lines of instruction and effort give this place this place to the Sunday School or supplement it work. The Sunday School is the feeder of the Church. And all the auxiliaries are dependent upon the Church for its working material. Therefore, you can readily see how necessary it is to keep the feeder full and working. You can readily see what would soon be the final outcome of any mill or factory that gave more of its time Splendid sermons were delivered by rev. G. T. Raimey, Moderator of of Smoky Hill River Listrict Association. rev. C. E. Wood Arkansas City, Rev. A. W. Ross, B. S. D. Executive Secretary. 8.00 p. m., the sermon by Rev. C. E. Wood Arkansas City was impressive. Saturday, 11 a. m. sermon by Rev. O. B. Ware, Newton. 8 p. m. Missionary Pageant conducted by Mrs. P. II. Walton under auspices of Women's Convention. At 11 a. m. Sunday Rev. Woods again filled the rostrum. Sunday evening the audience was very attentive to the closing sermon by Dr. A. W. Ross, Executive Secretary, which was fine; in itself, full of thuths and instruction, which if followed would prove a beneficial turning point in our everyday lives and Christian duties one to the other. The most meeting Sunday The mass meeting Sunday after a decide a success. Principal speakers were Mrs. F. G.

WICHITA, KANSAS, RRIDAY, Aug. 22, 1921 ORIGINATOR OF "COLOR LINE" IN PUGILISM DIES "BROKE" NEW YORK, Aug. 1—Jim Wakey white, who is said to have the un-American distinction of being the first to draw the "color-line" in pugilism, is dead. He cled recently in a local hospital of heart disease, broke and practically friendless, after being at one time the possessor of a large fortune and A generation ago Wakey, who ran the cafe at Sixth avenue and Forty-Second street, so well known in sporting circles, was one of the outstanding figures in the sporting world. As manager and barer of John L. Sutton he gained fame and wealth; not only has the man who made John L. amous, but as the man who first wert on record as refusing to permit his fighter to battle with a colored man the famous Peter Jackson to developing and perfecting machinery that it did to producing goods or material so in the same way any church will suffer in proportion if it does not give its main energy to the work of production, which is the Sunday School Department. Therefore, let pastors, teachers, officers and members recognize and give prominence to the proper place of the Sunday School to the rest of the auxiliaries of the Church, and honor it accordingly. —Mrs. J.

We are not getting the results as we should from our efforts. Our church program is tacking in the fundamental elements of worship in the musical side of the work. Music is the most important element in the church's program aside from the preaching and it is hand and hand with preaching in importance. But how sad it is that this important work gets so little thought and attention in our churches. The church should have space on its program for definite work in a definite way in music departments headed and governed by some one who has had special training and consecration in music for the church. There is hardly one choir in a dozen whose membership is seventy-five per cent fit for the place they occupy (by the side of the ministry.) It appears that when music is in, the spirit is out. Hence the need of a reformation and renovation in choirs first, then a definite p'an of re-organization. Then the church has infinite possibilities as well as many opportunities to broaden its musical horizon. The Bible in many passages refers to the use of both wind and string instruments, also the cymbal was used in the churches. Why not use them now? I believe that the employment of various kinds of instruments and proper harnessing of the musical talent in our churches will not only intensify the interest but also increase the church following. Many of our leaders experience difficulty in holding what they catch in their churches and, too, all have it hard when it comes to creating an interest in the young folk for the church. The reason is that it is too dead. No real snappy life in the services. If every community would work to the limit of its possibilities and organize choruses, bands, orchestras, and other musical clubs or combinations in the churches and see that the proper kind of leadership is obtained; I am sure that the following and the spirit would be increased a hundred per cent and more. The world gets a following when music is employed. If the church will not plan for the youth the world will. The church must begin now and map out such an interesting program that at least those who come into its covenant will be satisfied to remain. Many of my co-laborers and friends have urged upon me to use my musical information and inspiration for the edification of the church. This, after much serious thought and prayer, and also consultation with our leading ministers, I have decided to do, special urgent invitation has been extended me to take charge of the musical side of the Kansas State Convention. I have been asked to gather a chorus of good singers to be at the State Convention at Coffeyville, in October. I am urging all churches thruout the state to send in recommendations for members of this chorus. All we need is the right material with which to work, and we shall be able to put over a program in music along with the other work. Pursuant to my acceptance of this great honor and responsibility, I am making that all churches that find it possible to do so, arrange a date for me to come upon your field to introduce our musical plan into your work, and effect musical organizations of any kind. Fifteen or twenty years' experience in all branches of music make it possible for us to handle any phase of musical work. Awaiting your reply as to date and co-operation, I am yours for the Master.

Five Cents Per Copy PROMINENT ATLANTA UNDERTAKER DIES Preston News Service) ALANTA, Ga., Aug. 22—Ihleny H. Williams, a well known, If not the best known Negro undertaker here, died at his home Tuesday. He had lived in Atlanta 52 years, and was first graduates of A. o. Mr. Williams was a member of Big Bethel A. M. E. Church as well as a active member of fraternal organizations. OBITUARY Mr. Robert Hammonds was born in Florissant, Mo., Dec. 19, 1860; died in Emporia, Aug. 10, 1924; age 63 years, 7 months and 22 days. Moved to Lebanon, Ill., in 1874, where he made his home until May 1924, when he moved to Emporia. He professed religion in 1890 and joined the Mt. Zion Baptist church where he held membership until his removal to Kansas. Was deacon of above church for 25 years and trustee for 20 years. At all times was an honorable, upright Christian gentleman; he was an exemplary husband and father; a worthy citizen in the community in which he lived, being respected by all. He was a man of few words, was a light that shone without making any noise and a man whose word was his bond. He had been alling but was not aware of the seriousness of his illness until after reaching Emporie, and the doctors' verdict that his malady was fata, was as a thunderbolt out of a clear sky; particularly to his wife and daughter. Having lived a Christian, death found him all ready.

JUNIOR TOPIC—The Visit of Nico- JUNIOR TOPIC—The Visit of Nicodacus densus INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP- IO—What It Means to Become a Christian YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC The New Birth. The subject of the conversation with Nicodemus was the new birth. This topic had peculiar significance in the light of Nicodemus' station in life. He was a learned rabbi, a doctor of the law and presumably a man of good character. His coming by night indicates his timidity. Like Joseph of Arimathea he was afraid to openly expose the cause of the new Teacher of Galilee lest he be put out of the synagogue. I. The Necessity of the New Birth (iv. 1-7). It is not a matter of choice as to whether one is to be born again but of necessity if he is ever to see the Kingdom of God. Regeneration is the first demand the Gospel of Christ makes upon men. The reasons for this are: 1. The Kingdom of God is a spiritual Kingdom; therefore there must be a spiritual birth in order to enter it. (v. 3). As we enter the physical Kingdom by a natural birth, so we enter the Kingdom of God by a supernatural birth. 2. The nature which we get through the natural birth is radically and essentially bad. Christ declares that that which is born of the flesh is flesh (v. 0). In Galatians 5:10-21, Paul gives a catalogue of the works of the flesh. The flesh cannot be improved (Jer. 13:23). Culture and educate, do all you please, and it still remains flesh. Furthermore, in order to enter into the kingdom of heaven there must be a nature fitted for heaven. There is nothing that can be substituted for the new birth. Men are trying to substitute morality and education for the new birth. Nicodemus possessed these; yet Christ declared that he needed something more. Regeneration is the act of God through the Holy Spirit which quickens a man from spiritual death and plants within him God's own nature (II Pet. 1:4). II. The Mystery of the New Birth (vv. 8:13). Its process is mysterious, but its results are definite. You may not be able to discern from whence the wind cometh or whither it goeth, but you know that it blows by its effects. The fruit of our lives demonstrates our nature, whether it is heavenly or carnal. We need not be told that we have a physical birth for our bodies with their various faculties in exercise prove it. Even so the presence within us of a mature which has no affinity for the things of the world, a strong affection for God and a disposition to yield prompt obedience to His commands proves that we have been born from above. Galatians 5:22, 28, is an infallible test. III. The Ground Upon Which the New Birth Rests (vv. 14:18). Christ's atoning death on the cross makes regeneration possible. He took the place of sinners. His infallible merit was placed to their account. He suffered in the sinners' stead. Just as the Israelites had only to look on the brazen serpent in the wilderness so the sinner must look to Christ uplifted upon the cross. See Num. 21:49, John 12:32, II Cor. 5:21, I Pet. 2:24. Our salvation cost on the part of God the giving up of His only begotten Son and on the part of Christ the sufferings and shame of the cross. IV. For Whom Salvation Was Provided (vv. 10, 17). "Whosoever believeth on Him." These verses give in a condensed form the whole plan of salvation. Observe: 1. The Source—God so loved. 2. The Ground—the death of Christ. 3. The Recipient—whosnever. 4. How Appropriated—believing in Him. 5. Results—should not perish; everlasting life. 6. Men's Attitude Toward Christ (vv. 1821). 7. Some Believe and Are Saved. Those who believe are now free from condemnation (John 5:24). 8. Some Will Not Follow and Are Resting. Therefore, Under the Condemnation of God. The cause of their unbelief in Him is their love of sin. "Speculation vs. Certainties When they asked the dying Faraday, "what are your speculations?" he replied that he was not "pillowing his head on any speculations." Said he, "I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed to Ilm against that day."—Exchange.
