COMMUNITY CHORUS The most recent and progressive movement made by the people of Pittsburg, Kansas, is the organization of a Community Chorus, at the Mt. Hebron Baptist Church, Friday evening, Nov. 28, under the directions of Prof. E. M. Barnes, Wichita, Kans. Prof. Barnes came to us highly recommended and so greatly were the people impressed with his ability as director; a storm of enthusiasm arose resulting in a well organized chorus of 54 voices. Congratulate Rev. Elliss upon securing this young man, and putting forth this much needed movement in our church and community. Plans are being made to have Prof. Barnes with us every two weeks; also to spread the movement thru-out the surrounding towns. The future foods are expecting wonderful things to mater alike and are looking forward with great prospects to the National Baptist Congress to be had next June at Wichita, Kansas. By Mrs. S. A. Williams. St. Mary Baptist Notes. Rev. J. E. Douglass, Pastor Much interest was manifested in the lesson studied Sunday morning; Suit was at his post with his quorum of teachers. Morning services began at 11:30 o'clock. Scripture lesson was read by F. Thompson from Luke 10; pastor selected his text from Luke 10:27; Subject: "Good Samaritan."

Pastor preached our mission ser- 11:20 subject: "Life fathency." This was a wonderful ser- nial ufficent, and if we trust Him He will make us equa to any emergency that may become ours in a task. We as mission sisters feel encouraged to press forward and do itus; though we are few in number we know that it is the faithful few that are accepted by God. We raised a neat sum in the rally; at J. bol Smith presented the box which was highly appreciated by our restor. B. Y. P. U., at 6:30 o'clock; lesson 14-11.

At the evening service Rev. W. L. Warder read for Scripture lesson, Rom. 1:1-16. Pastor prescheduled his 5th anniversary sermon, selecting his text from Rom. 1:16; it was indeed a soul stirring message. We believe all enjoyed the message who listened to it. We had splendid services throughout the day. At the close, Mrs. Mamie Maxey, chairman of the arrangement committee for the Lr.quet, made report. The barque on Nov. 27th was it FAMILY RE-UNION A large number of relatives gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. R.

Church delivered a vry interesting and tmely sermon, from Gen. 22:8. "Cod will Provide;" he used as a basis for his discourse, "Faith." The rally between the Mission Circle and the Ladies' Ald Society, was a wonderful success; they started out to raise $300 00, but went far over the top. The Mission Circle turned over $200 00 and the Ladies' Ald Society $326.37 which will go toward he ping with the building of the new church. The work is progressing n ceiv at this time and we are all looking forward to a greater St. John Baptist Church in Salma. At 8 p. m., pastor delivered a brief but very impressive garmon from Isa. 69:1, theme, "Shining Faces;" He emphasized the importance of Christians wearing shining faces and in order to do so we must possess pure hearts and clear conscience. Dr. J. W. Hayes, Wichita, and Dr. J. E. Jeltz, the National Gospel Singer, arrived in the city Monday and will conduct a 10 day revival at our gl- Mrs. Bertha Ray, Wichita, spent the week-end in the city, visiting rel- deed a splendid affair; one that is worthy of note.

The history of the St. Mary's Ch and life's work of R. V. J. E. Deu- lass for the past 5 years, read by O. L.

Maxey, reported amount raised $3,00 she also presented the pastor and wife a neat little sum as a token of prelation from the St. Mary Bap- tist Church for their consecrated service.

He not only he heps the individual church where he preaches, but the entire city. Dr. Williams is a pastor's friend. Ary pastor who needs Eevingelistical service will do well to secure the service of Dr. Williams. Tabernacle reporter. from Luke 10:27-29, subject: "My Neighbor." "And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength and with all thy mind and thy neighbor as thyself." We cannot love God without loving our neighbor. If we love God with our whole hearts, there will ever be a ready response to render service to our fellowman, and to all we find in reed. That prompted by the teachings of Jesus, our lives will be a joyous, loving, service for others. There was a good attendance of visitors and friends to warship with us. Rev. Pope preached again at the evening services. The session of the Bible School was held at 9:45 a.m. the attendance was fine.

Y., Nov. 20, 1924. To the Kansas Baptists, My dear Christian Friends:— It is with much love, I write you ell, first to say many, many thanks to you for your kindness to me while home on a short furlough; second to ray farewell for a little while. My going this time is quite different from my first trip because you sent me away then empty handed, but this time, through your help. I am goofed out to do my best to put over the lord's program, by educating the head, the hand and the heart of the heathen Africans. Saturday, Nov 22 at noon (eastern time) the S S Martial will be pushed out in the deep by the powerful little tug boats, so by the time you will be reading this article, I will be somewhere on the broad Atlantic, but I will feel as safe as I do anywhere on land, because I know Jesus will be with me and anywhere He is, I am safe I want you al to pray that I may have a safe voyage, and a happy time seeing after the "King's Business," for I am lung ring for the souls of the countries will now groping in heathenism, witchcraft and superstition. Too long have we as a denomination been playing missions; too long have we been scribing missions; too long have we been scribing books and Bible, saying to them, "God will proclaim for you" T! Mission Field above all fields, demands consecrated, trained, experienced workers, because no workers on earth face so many complexities as those on the Foreign field. I want to thank everyone of you for all you have done to help me with my question? The best showing I've seen for a long time was made by the people (s'ingers) of Pittsburg, Friday evening Nov. 23, when in response to a call of a few days, by Rev. J. T. El'as, about forty persons came out to the Mt. Hebron Baptist Church for the purpose of organizing a community chorus. One E. M. Barnes of Wichita, was called over to direct in the organization. After he had made a few remarks touching the value and possibilities of the organization and also the method of organizing, they immediately began and affected the organization. Thirty-five persons gave their names for membership. And in another of the chorus Sunday afternoon nineteen names were added to the Friday evening roll. The writer much impressed with the prospects for a great chorus. They seemed also much impressed with him and are planning to have him twice per month to train them. Hurrahl for Pittsburgh, and Rev.

Friday, Nov. 7, our board voted unanimously to send a saw mill, planning mill, and a full manufacturing plant costing $9,000; it will make the very piece of furniture needed. The saw mill will be put up in Careysburg, because I am in the lumber district, the Lott Carrey women are putting up a 44 room building at my station, praise the Lott God bless these good women; something out of the ordinary is going to be done; the women will send 2 representatives to Liberia, to dedicate the building in a few years. This building is to cost $10,000. I am very glad to have 2 trained mechanics in the persons of Rev Douglas and Mr Paulkner to erect this splendid building. Mr Paulkner helped to build the wonderful subways in New York Rev. Douglass is one of the fin-mechanics in the West. There is a reason why our mission will not self-supporting in a very few years. My main plans are to teach the natives to be self-supporting, by raising their food the best way, in manufacturing the things he needs, having an all-native church pastored to a trained native pastor; properly educating them and to translate the New Testament in the native language. Will you pray for me the God may use me to His Name's glory and honor? If the white missionaries can learn a foreign language and translate the New Testament, the same through Col's help I have as much gray matter in my brain as they have; "I can do that rgs through Christ that strengthens me."
