BROWN AT REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS Preston Newt Service) Widow of late Phil H. Brown answers Party's Call. CHICAGO, ILL., Aug. 29—When the Illinois Central Flyer pulled into Chicago, last Monday it brought in Mrs. Dolly R. Brown, of Hopkinsville, Ky., widow of the 'ate Phil H. Brown, journalist, government officials, and Assistant Director of Publicity during the Taft, Hughes, and Harding campaigns. The little widow had come in response to a request of the Republican National Committee for intensive work in the Coalidge campaign. This year, the familiar figure of Phil Brown, missing, but the Phil Brown "way" will not be altogether gone. Helped Phil for Years Much of the product of Phil's political pen and his expert work in campaigns of the past years was the work of Dolly R. Brown his faithful wife. She was the chief censor of Phil's "stuff" and through the trying days of three presidential campaigns, Mrs. Brown helped out in more ways than one. The two were pals, indeed. Thus she brings to the committee a wealth of knowledge and experience, Singularly Mrs, Brown's appointment was made by another widow, Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, Vice Chairman of the Republican National Committee, and wife of the late Alvin T. Hert, formerly National Committeeman from Kentucky, who died suddenly at the New Willard Hotel, Washington. D.

The second annual Sunday School Picnic was a fine expression of Church co-operation. Eight of the ten Negro Sunday Schools united in a co-operative undertaking, to make happy the Patrons and Children of our Schools. A conservative estimate is that 853 persons attended the Picnic, during the day. Water Melons, Ice Cream and Pon were furnish by the Schools; while the patrons brought full baskets and took both dinner and supper in the Park. If the old adage holds true that "In union there is strength" it holds true that the Sunday Schools of the City are ready for a great forward step for the Kingdom. "TO CEASAR THE THINGS THAT ARE CEASAR." While the entire Committee worked very faithfully to make the Union Picnic a success; I feel that special mention should be made of the fine generous service of Atty, F. C. Helm. Besides serving on the steering Committee, and giving the day to the Picnic, and Program; he took a half day, went to Clear Water and purchased a load of Melons at less than half what they would have cost us in the city; and too, they were fresh from the patch.

BY MRS CARRIE ANDERSON Madam President, Officers and Messengers in assemble of the 21st Annual Session of the S. W. B. Y. P. U. District Association: Today, we meet with words of praise and adoration to our heavenly father for His guidance; His protecting care while we were a part, and praying that the bending of His love many rest upon us while we are here assembled. We cannot describe the many problems which have confronted us during the intervention of these sessions, but the few days, which we shall spend together should be profitably used for the enlargement of our program for a broader and more efficient service in Kingdom, building, for this one great purpose for which we have met today. I greet you, the greeting of my heart as you come up from various fields with another 12 months' experience added to your record as soldiers of the cross. I feel and impulse to congratulate you for your co-operation during the past year; those who have in any way been faith fu, realizing the great responsibility which rest upon the Christian Church. Today, we stand face, to face with the most crucial period of history. The unrestless state of the nation, the unrest between capitol and labor. The Gigantic National problems which have burdened the best-judgment of greatest of statements, the grave economic conditions, the failure to recognize the Father-hood of God and the Brother-hood of man. In connection with many other things that might be said are but proof that the church that Jesus Christ established must put on her full strength and rise according to the commission given from Heaven and Christianize the world. Today, no subject is more interesting and fundamental than that of Christian Education, with the golden opportunity of traing for efficient service. The young people of today have the greatest opportunity of church life, with great objective of the B. Y. P. U. discovering, developing and training. Training for every department of church work; our Christian Institute opened to young men and women chord great opportunities, such as our own Seminary at Topeka, dedicated to the glory of God. Its doors stand opened to you, with these great opportunities for young men and women we lock into a bright future. For the world is calling as never before for young men and women, those who have a high aim in life, who have a great vision, and love for God that you will give your best; ready to serve, ready to sacrifice, for after all a full life will mean a life of service, and the present battle will demand a personal knowledge of Jesus. The day is far passed when as a race should seek pity, charity and gifts from any other race; but today; we are contending for a man's opportunity, a man's chance, a citizen, law; as we press our way to the front and there with our hands in God hand, stand man to man. Never cease praying: praying constantly, fervently, that we may be led by the Holy Spirit that we may be led into all trust; so during we need not fear the result for the promises of God are sure. OUR CHURCH PROGRAM—May we give the young people a large place in our church program for the church is the highest institution on earth. It has a right to dominate in the community and control all our economic and social actives training the young people both spiritually and socially; if properly controlled will take possession of the whole life and control it. Unless the church trains St. Paul Notes. "Called For A Purpose," was the subject at 11 a. m., of a sermon by Rev. R. L. Pope.

Dean the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Lesson for August 31 BUS TALKS WITH A SAMAR- ITAN WOMAN ESSON TEXT—John 4 4-43 HOLDEN TEXT—"God is a Spirit" they that worship Him must work Him in spirit and in truth."— in 4.24 PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Talks With Woman. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus and a Woman Samarla. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC How Jesus Won the Simsrians FQUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC The Teaching of Jesus Concerning myself. 1. The Occasion (vv. 40). 1. The growing popularity of Jesus housed the envious opposition of the harlsees, which obliged Him to leave idea and go into Gaillee. There as another way to reach Gaillee, he used by many Jews to avoid contact with the deprived Samaritans, to eastern side of the Jordan. He just needs go through Samaritas in order to find this poor sinful woman and to needy citizens of Sychar. The rent necessity which was upon Him was to seek and to save that which was lost (Luke 19:30). The wearied Jesus waiting at Jacob's well to speak to this poor, lost woman gives us a picture of the divine human Savor a his work of seeking lost humanity. II. The Testimony of Christ to the Samaritans (vv. 7:41). 1. Discloses His Identity to the Woman of Samuria (vv. 7-20). This is a line example of personal evangelism. (1) A Favor Asked (vv. 7-9). He factually made a request which appealed to the woman's sympathy. Not only did the thirst of the weary traveler appeal to her but the fact that He being a Jew asked a favor of her showed His sympathy for her. In introducing the conversation He referred to that which was uppermost in her mind, namely water. This was the Teacher's point of contact. He soon passed from earthly water to the water of everlasting life which was in Illimself. His aim was to bridge the chasm which separated them. (2) Jesus' Tender Dealing With the Woman (vv. 10-15). He first appealed to her curiosity by declaring "If thou knewest the gift of God" (vv. 10). He knew the deep unrest of the soul of that sinful woman as she went on her way. He knew that if she really knew Him she would believe on Him and he saved from her sins. Therefore, the first thing war to get her attention. He followed this appeal to her curiosity by a promise which directed her attention to her deepest need The deepest need of the soul Jesus only can satisfy. There is real and lasting satisfaction In Him and His gifts. The woman's reply, "Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not," is the inarticulate cry of every heart. (3) The Woman Convicted of Her Sins (vv 15.19). Jesus succeeded in arresting her interest but she did not really understand Him. Before she can understand what the water of life is she must be convicted of her sins. He skillfully gave the command which brought her face to face with the facts of her life which she was unwilling to confess. 44) The Problem of Worship Submitted to Christ (vv. 234). This she did as soon as she perceived Him to be a prophet. This indicates that He was succeeding in bringing her mind to spiritual things. Jesus, knowing the inner life of this woman, tells her of the glad time, even then present, when true worshipers could hold intercourse with God anywhere. He showed her that the places of worship is unimportant, but the all important thing is to have the true conception of God as brought through the Jews. He exposed the folly of a religion of form only and showed that acceptable worship depends upon the condition of the heart. (5) Discloses His Identity to the Citizens of Sychar (vv. 40, 41). When they heard the testimony of the wom an they invited Jesus to come among them. Though they heard her testil mony, their belief was due to Christ's own words III. The Testimony of the Samaritans (vv. 27-42). 1. The Woman of Samarita Witnesses for Christ (vv. 27-39). As soon as she was converted she became an enthusiastic missionary. This is as it ought to be and always will be. The soul that realizes Jesus cannot be still (John 1:41-47). The result of her testimony was that many believed on Him 2. The Samaritans Witness for Christ (v. 42). They declared, "We know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the World."

Harrison, Matt. 10:16-3 Pastor williams brought to us a burning message taken from Matt. 10:33, subject, "Denying and Basing Denied" He pointed out the many ways by which we deny God and how short of many blessings by so doing.

We must fight, if we expect to win, but the biggest battle should be on self; make a good soldier out or self and God will command the battle against your enemies. NO ONE could read of the victory in Texas and Oklahoma, over In Texas and Oklahoma, over the Kans without deciding that the masses of the people both white and black, want to do right. If the haunted leaders would just get out of the way for a while, you could trust the people to do what is right. This country is trying to fool itself, trying to make itself believe that force and underminding and low-down push us inquiring him purposign that civilization is nearing the things will win, but that is a sure God don't get a hearing and that quick. You cannot force righteousness, you must teach and practice it and it will become a part of each generation. If we would save America, we must love God and our brothers and eradicate anything that will destroy life and love. WHILE the Republican Party is standing around so reserved, the democrat Party is coming straig't from the shoulder with declarations that will make any thinking man stop and consider. Since, Lincoln has given the Negro the opportunity to vote, he has casted his votes, almost enmase for the Republican Party, but the party that set us free, and will not help us stay free is still unsafe to depend on for the future, especially when it will not declare it position in matters so vital to evervane's best interest. Hon. John W. Davis has come out right and denounced the Klans and all organizations that attempt to make race prejudice or religious belief a test of fitness for public office and that it is not the spirit of the American institutions. Let us hear from Coolidge, if he is to be President at all he is to be President of all and the Negro would like for him to be his President, but he wants him to want to be his President or he will have to elect a man who promises to know no man on account color or religion, but by fitness. Speak up Republicans or you will be wondering what is the matter with the Negro. We like the ring of Mr. Davis' declaration and likt Jesus coming from Nazareth, is it possible that "some good thing can come out of the Democrat Party?" We can't tell whither our Gov.

(Con. from page 1) its young people how can it hope to have an efficient and progressive mem bership unless training them for a future race and for the future church. THE CHRISTIAN HOME—The great responsibility of the Christian Home with its moral and religious influence will mean much to the young people, where love, care and advice is given daily with fervent prayers that they may become useful in the Kingdom of God, those future lives and sensuity to succeeding generation depends largely upon the impression and training brought to bear upon them through the home life. The Christian home in a wider and larger circle will make Christian Society, where relations are pure, peaceful and beneficia; out of Christian society is still a wider and larger circle developed. Christian government is based on love for God and man, protecting the home and life of each individual. The mother of Moses so trained him that he never forget that he was a Hebrew, and that he owed his life to a great and noble cause. Samuel was trained in his youth so that he was ready to hear the voice of God, but when a boy and said; speak Lord, for thy servant hearth thee, are striking evidence of early training in the Christian home. As Baptist, we have the greatest opportunity of any religious denomination to indestructure the world in the great teachings of our Saviour, because of our belief and faith to the practice of the New Testament. May we be students of the New Testament, be firm in our belief, be able to give a reason for the faith which we proclaim; not swept away with the many fa prophets of the day, but stand firm, stand as a regenerated body.

Kansas has a host of young people to be proud of. Every year they are coming up from every part of Kansas, seeking information and inspiration. May our session be profitable. May we leave before them foot prints that they must step higher to surpass. THE CONGRESS AT CLEVELAND—We did not attend the Congress this year which we regret very much, for we realize that under those experts we are able to take in the very best methods of B. Y. P. U. work. Those attending the Congress reports the best session in its history. We are looking with a deal of interest for the Congress coming this way in 1925. Since, the close of our Annual Meeting last August. God, who doth all things according to the counsel of His own will, called from S. W. District His servants Rev. R. W. Williams, pastor of Second Baptist Church, Newton, just in the midst of erecting a beautiful edifice, where he put in the walls of that structure the blood of his heart: on the 8th day of September 1923, Rev. J. H. Van Leu. State Missionary, who for a number of years pioneered the way for the Baptist of the West. Through his prayers, sacrifices and labors, he helped make some of the things possible in which we today enjoy. He too, fell asleep, being weary with their journey, tired of warfares, burdens and disappointments. They glayly exchanged their crosses for counsels faith for sight and hope for a blessed rest from their labors. Since this is true, we can bid them sleep, sleep on beloved sleep and take thy rest.
