B, Griffith, at our instant request, did on the 28th day of July 1924, file a Jaw sult in the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas against the National Indus- trial Insurance Company.

Church Pub, Bureau, The Ku Klux Kian issue is making {t necessary for the Negro to d. some real thinking, and may sere rate in many cases from some of his erstwhile beat friends. The Ku Klux Klan is a rebgio-political organiza- tion which has sworn enmity against all Catholics, Jews and Negroes, It K thorefore not Dallevable that any legroes cam support ” Now the Necroes fare chiefly Pro- ‘testants. There are very few Cath- oles among ua: most of us are Meth. ‘odists ‘and Baptists. It is with a great deal of regret therefore that we see Protesants actively alligned with the organization against Negroes, who make up a large number of the Protestant membership. At leart five million Negroes are Protestants In this country, of whom two million are Methodists. It is with @ double re- gret that we note the actuvity of so many Methodist prdachers In the Ku’ Klux Klan. Even in some parts of the North the activity of the Protes-| tant ministers and particularly of the Methodist ministers in the Ku Klux Klan is most pronounced. Thus the Negreés find themselves opposed by those?-who have here-to-fore been thelf*best friends. The ‘same is true of the Negro in politics. The Negroes are overwhel- mingly Protestant. To the Republi- putts they have shown gratitued be- cause of the emancipation and In mary cases the only argument which the Republicans have for their sup- port is that they freed our fathers and grondfathers. We note in some states that the Republican purty is te most active advocate of the Ku Klux Klan. In the state of Indiana, for instance, the Republicans are itrongly in favor of the Klan, while he Democrats are strongly opposed o the Klan, The same is true in Jklahoma. It ig also true in the tate of Maine, that the Democratic andidate for governor is against the; flan, wrile the Republican candidate ' s in favor of the ha Klux Klan, which uta the Negro {na position of hav-| mg to oppose these who have been] ere-to-fore called his friends, . ‘The activities of the Klan are so}, ronounoed against the Negro that, 2 thoes ntates and congresmonal, dis-| ricta where the Republicans have , een, 80 derelict in their duties to the , omfion interests of ey as to ne’up.with the Ku Klux Kian, tte 1 jegroer have‘ no ¢hoice except to re- | rain, from voting for the Republican | andidate in guch local contests.

Lesson for September'14 BUS DRIVEN. FROM NAZARETH LESSON TEXT—Luke 4:10-30 OLDEN TEXT—"He hath anointed to preach the gospel"—Luke 4:18 PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Visits His Town UNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Faces a Mob INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP- Jesus Explains His Message JOUNG, PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC The Mission of Christianity. I. Jesus in the Synagogue (v. 10) On the Sabbath day He went into a synagogue according to His own n. He no doubt went that day with pew, and definite purpose, but it refreshing to know that it was accord to His habit. II. Jesus Reading the Scriptures v. 17-10. 1. The Book Handed to Illm (v. 17) was not only His custom to attend a place of worship but to take a pail. This privilege was not confined the rabbis (Acts 13:13). 2. The Passage Read (Isaiah 61:1). Most likely this passage was chosen by Illm with a specific purpose. 3. The Content of the Passage (vv. 19). (1) The mission of the Messiah (v. 1). It was: (a) To preach the gospel to the or. The good tidings which Jesusocalmmed are peculiarly welcome to the common people. (b) To heal the broken-hearted, the gospel of Christ peculiarly meets the needs of those whose hearts are mushed by the, weight of their own sins or by the burden of sorrow and sappointment. (c). To preach deliverance to the captives. The gospel of Christ does actually set man free from the slavery of sin (John 8:30). (d) Recovering of sight to the blind. Christ did actually make those who were physically blind to see (John 6, 7) and also opened the eyes of those who were spiritually blind (John 5:20). (e) To set at liberty them that are cruised. The power of Christ can free the most utterly hopeless ones. (1) To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. The primary allusion is the year of Jubilee (Lev. 25:8-10) in which all those in bondage were released. (2) The special endowment of the Messiah (v. 18). The reason why the Spirit was upon Him was that He might fulfill specifically His Messianic work. It was not for the display of power. The endowment of the Holy Spirit is not for mere power's sake. III. Jesus Expounding the Scriptures (vv. 20, 21). 1. He Closed the Book and Sat Down. It seems to have been the custom of the Jewish teachers to sit while enclosing. "This Day In This Scripture Full Allied" This is no doubt but a plot of all IV. Seventh by the People I remember a vice (v. 22), "Is not this Joe." As if to say, "This is our fellow townman with whom we have been acquainted for years. Surely, therefore, He cannot be the Messiah." 2. Unhelief as to His Supernatural Character (v. 23). They challenged Him to exhibit examples of divine power as He had done in other places. 3. Personal Jealousy (v. 24). Jealousy prevents us from seeing the essential worth of the men in our midst. Foreigners are more appreciative. A prophet is not accepted at home, primarily because he is a prophet. Prophets were sent in times of moral and spiritual declination and their messages were stern rebukes of sin. He adduces two outstanding examples of the willingness of foreigners to believe God. (1) Ellijah was sent to a widow at Sarepta (vv. 25, 20). Many widows of Israel were passed by due, doubtless, to the fact that they would not have received the prophet. (2) Neaman, the foreigner, of many lepers was the only one cleansed 4. Violent Hatred (vv. 28 30). This comparison of the Jews to foreigners so stunned their pride that they madly drove Him out of their city, even tried to kill Him. He showed them that just as Elijah had brought blessing to one who lived in Bidon and Elisha to one in Syria, while the people of Israel went on suffering, even so the Gentiles would receive the blessings of His saving power while they, the chosen nation, would suffer in unbelief. Religion, in one sense, is a life of self-denial; but self-denial does not belong to religion as a characteristic of it. It belongs to human life. The lower nature, must always be denied when we are trying to rise to a higher sphere.—Henry Ward Beecher.

The Holy Spirit put its sanction on the message and there was a great shout in the camp. His text was, from II. Cor. "Fellow Workers With God." And his words cut like a two-edged sword; those who heard him should surely live up to and work for the Blessed Lord. After the sermon, he called forward all of the children o his congregation and there was a goodly number, and he talked to them of the Kingdow work, bowed and had an earnest, heart searching prayer to God to protect these childdren that they might grow up in the full statue of the church; he further admonished the mothers, especially, also faters to be careful how they live before the children and that they should set examples of credit before them; saying in part: Train the child the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from its training."
