Carmel Baptist Church Rev. C. M. Watson, Pastor. We want our friends and readers to know that we are yet being wonderfully blessed at our church. Our clubs are taking on new life and are raising means to help push the cause. The Mission Society is doing well; also the Sewing Circle. The Sunday School and the B. Y. P. U., are progressing along all lines and are looking forward to the Xmas festivities. Last week our beloved pastor, with a few men of the church went to work and succeeded in installing the Baptistry, of which is a great credit to the church and pastor. Sunday, the 9th was a high day of service. Sunday School was largely attended and each class well taught. Quite a few visitors present; and at 11 o'clock our pastor came with a Doctrinal Sermon on Baptism and we were made to rejoice as he delivered this wonderful sermon, full of logic and reasoning; at the close of the service our pastor baptized five persons in the newly installed pool, and let me say that we had a crowded house. All went home rejoicing from the effects of this great meeting. Evening, B. Y. P. U., was largely attended and many timely remarks were made. Our pastor again came with a burning message from the subject, "Saving Religion—A Religion of Love," from which he preached as never before and many were shouting and weeping from this powerful message. At the close one man joined by Christian Experience. While the collection was being taken a young woman came as a reception for baptism and our pastor halted the service to permit us to hear this soul tetify of Jesus. Our church is on the eve of one of the greatest revival in its history and our pastor is a revivalist as he each Salvation labors for the unsaved. Collection for the day $52 20 for which we are thankful. We are forced to say that we must tear down and build a Church to seat our people; as man was turned away Sunday night from the fact that there were no room for them. May God ever use our pastor as He has used him and our church will be second to none. 164 have been added to the membership in the pastor's year of service. Pray for us. When in town visit us; our church is the visitors' home. Father Harrison is very ill at this writing; we are praying for him and his family. Sister Florence Harrison is also ill and we wish for a speedy recovery. Deacon Isaac Northington is confined to his bed; we hope he will soon be able to be at his post again. RALLY! New Hope Church will have $1800 Rally Nov. 16th. The churches of the community will part lgate. They are planning to complete their building.

Read Star Ads! ARE YOU AWARE? That any individual who has to think for others is consuming energy which he could use in developing his own life. This is one of the most common ways in which most leaders spend their lives, thinking for others. This thinking for one's followers is so very strenuous that it has caused the untimely death of many of our leaders. The leaders of today must not only make plans, but they must in a large measure, also work the plans. The followers apparently never gets the sense of his responsibility. He doesn't realize that if every one who is a part of an organized body doesn't do his duty the organization is not a one hundred per cent organization. That race consciousness is a necessity but not an ideal It is very necessary that every race know some bounds but human principles should not be selfishly ignored in any one of the damnable evils of today which saps out the real life of society. So there is not much real life in human society; but chaotic existence of human beings. Are you thinking?

Sunday School Lesson REV E P B II FLIP WATER, D. D., Dear of the Evening School, Moody Dale Insti titute of Chicago) © 1924, Western Newspaper Union) PETER'S CONFESSION LESSON TEXT—Matthew 16 13 24 GOLDEN TEXT—Thou art the Christ, he Son of the Living God—Matt. 16 10 PRIMARY TOPIC—Peter Speaks Out or Jesus JUNIOR TOPIC—Peter Takes His stand YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- "Does It Matter What One Believes concerning Christ? This confession in some sense marks the turning point in Christ's ministry, bereafter it is more restricted to His disciples. Two reasons why this should be sufficient are (vv. 1-12): (1) The chursees and Siddues show their attitude toward Him in their demand for a sign. His answer is that none shall be given save that of His death and connection, as symbolized in the experiences of the prophet Josh. (2) The disciples show their inability to understand the spiritual nature of His teaching. When He warned them of the heaven of the Pharisees and Saduces they understood Him to refer to bread, when He meant their doctrine it was at this crisis when Christ ned from the nation which had re- ected Him that Peter made this great confession. It was made in the bor- ders of Caesarea-Philippi, practically gentle territory. 1. Occasion Of (vv. 13 10). Two questions of Christ provoked this confession: 1. The question as to the opinion of people concerning Him. They recognized Him as a teacher or a prophet of more than human authority and power. Today, as then, there is a diversity of opinion among the people as to Jesus Christ. Some think He is only a man; others that He is a great teacher, but nothing more. Had He been content with this He would not have been molested in Jerusalem, for the Jesus willingly acknowledged Him as more than a human teacher. It was His persistent claim to be the Godman, the Son of God, that sent Him to the cross. 2. The second question involved the personal opinion of the disciples concerning Him. To be able to tell what others think of Jesus is not enough; there must be definite, correct and personal belief on Him. II. The New Body, the Church, Announced (vv. 17-20). Peter had made a noble confession of Christ, so now Christ confesses him. If we confess Christ He will confess us (Matt. 10:32, 33) Christ declared His intention of belonging into existence a new body to the members of which He will give eternal life, and to whose hands He will entrust the keys of the Kingdom. Peter was to have a distinguished place in this body. The keys entrusted to Him were used on the day of Pentecost, and again in the case of Cornellus Association in this new body cannot be broken by death, for the gates of hades shall not prevail against it. This body, the church, is of a heavenly origin, a heavenly calling and a heavenly inheritance. III. The Cross the Way to the Throne (vv. 21:33). This was, no doubt, startling to the disciples. They did not realize that redemption was to be accomplished through the passion of the cross. So unwelcome was this announcement that Peter cried, "This shall not be unto thou." Peter later saw through this darkness to the glory on the hilltop beyond. A new hope then filled his breast (I Pet. 1:3, 1). Victory through death is yet the stumbling block of many. Many are stumbling over the doctrine of salvation and redemption through the suffering of the cross. IV. The Cost of Discipleship (vv. 24:27). To follow Christ means suffering. To follow Him is to turn one's back upon the world. Life can only be saved by losing it. If we are going to be Christians we must share Christ's suffering. We cannot go to heaven on flowery beds of ease. 1. There must be denial of self (v. 24). There is a wide difference between self-denial and denial of self. Self-denial is practiced everywhere by all people, but only the disciples of Christ or Christian people deny self-Christ takes the place of self. 2. "Take up his cross." This cross is the suffering and shame which lie in the path of loyalty to God. To do our duty will mean suffering (II Tim 3:12). 3. Follow Christ. This means to have the mind of Christ, to do like Christ. All such shall be rewarded when Christ comes in glory. What to Hate I will tell you what to hate. Hate hypocrisy; hate cont; hate indolence, oppression, injustice; hate Pharisaism; hate them as Christ lated them—with a deep, lively God "the hatred." F. V. Robertson.

THE city must have a Y. W. C. A. is a fact that needs no discussion, because a program to save boys would be practically worthless without an adequate program to save girls—As the training of the mind, the body, the social habits and the spirit must be the same for both, promote union in a happy and more successful way. A boy systematically trained would have a program of life at a girl untrained could not follow and results would be separation and other spot of disgrace on society, such prayers and diligent search could be exercised that the right leaders might be placed at the head of its great institution. We mean leaders who think more of the salvation others than they do of the pleasure themselves; leaders who are willing to take a firm stand with the master, though it may be unpopular, order that the good they do will be overshadowed by criticisms the world. The world may do any things that are not stepping ones to glory, but it wants somebody to take a stand against theirself, and declare the way of the word. The more vivid you can separate yourself from the world, the more good you can do for the Cause of the Master in safeguarding young manhood of Wiebita. A leader cannot be too careful with his life, but can be too careless, and young people cannot hear what you say for being what you do. They want to at last see some mark where Christianity takes the lead of sin or they want to see a standard marked offying this is sin and belongs to the will and will only prepare those who allow it to dwell with the devil. It can't make any difference how peret we become, it is not a stepping one to glory, and they want to see and know that there is a path of righteousness that leads on to perition and they want to and will follow their leaders. Then again we ask at prayer and care be exercised at no mistake be made in selecting leaders of whom God would endorse the public would trust; and last,ayer to strengthen the leader choir and to make the followers, followers indeed and the supporters to cause, liberal that so worthy an institution may not have cause to wish for lack of support.

They are the soul-stirring melodies first given to the world by those famous Jubilee Singers sent out by Fisk University in 1871. 2. Those songs were very closely connected with slavery and all that slavery meant. 3. They tell faithfully the Negro's innermost life, both intellectually and spiritually. 4. They are the only true source of Negro history; if any man would read the Negro's life, let him study these songs. 5. They are the only connecting link between the young Negroes and their ancestors. 6. They increase spiritual servitor because they were born o adversity and tribulation. 7. If they are sung in the right spirit, a revival is sure to follow. 8. These songs of our fathers should be preserved with their best and truest interpretation. 9. These are the original JUBILEE SONGS. All other collections are feeble ingitations and careless revisions. 10. They are the legacy of parents and ancestors whose memory we should delight to cherish.
