For ages back people of all nations have perpetuated the memory of those great and dear to all among them by the preservation of their lores; the preservation of their writings; by erecting monuments to them; and by holding sacred any relic or memento which had a personal touch. Sweeney says of Douglass. "For nearly sixty years, Frederick Douglass stood between his people and the fierce hatred and oppression of ignorance and fanaticism, but never once did he lose his bearing or was he untrue to his unquenchable mission, a watchman on the wall, thereby serving his race and beyond it his country." In accordance with our established curtum, we shall celebrate Sunday, Feb. 15, as a day of remembrance and prayer in honor of Lincoln and Douglass. It is to be hoped that no gathering for this remembrance will be held without remembering and nothing as we pass the efforts and devotion of the late Mary B Talbert. As we gather praying for strength and guidance, may we ask friend and neighbor to lend a hand in giving toward the Mary B. Talbert Memorial Fund which shall be used for the maintenance of the Douglass Home. Mary B. Talbert's last written letter was written mentioning the care of the Douglass Home and the reed of women to help carry the work forward. We believe that the maintenance of this shrine in the proper manner and in a manner that should be characteristic of the National Association of Colored Women and the Negroes of the United States in general would be a lasting tribute to the life and effort of Mary B. Talbert and an index to the progress of the race. Send all money and all checks payable to Miss Meta Pelham, 1157 West Hancock Avenue, Detroit, Michigan. Many requests from the general public have come to various members of the National Association of Colored Women assist in this effort and many admirers of Mary B. Tolbert have sent contributions one year ago KANSAS VOCATIONAL COLLEGE NOTES School opened on Friday; many the students have returned after spending a pleasant vacation.

That the latest and perhaps the most significant community movement, not only for Wichita, but for anywhere, was formally started on the first Sunday afternoon at St. Paul's A. M. B. Church. This organization which was born in the writer's mind, as he suggests it, should be known as the Wichita Community Musical Association, a musical association departmentalized The writer has a graphic plan, of this organization, which was read and explained before a representative body of music lovers last Sunday, Jan. 1925, and adopted. The plan shows very clearly how all phases of our musical activities can be incorporated within one general organized body and the work of different phases might be done in departmental style. The plan as presented covers the work as follows: The general organization is known in the Wichita Community Musical Association. Within this Association there is a choral department; which admits anybody who can sing; an orchestral department, which admits any one who can play; a women's department which is composed of women's choruses; glee clubs, quarets, etc; a men's department; as the women's department; a study department into which those who are willing to study, may be admitted; and a juvenile department for the younger feik, six departments, under one general head, which shall develop every phase of the community musical life. Because of this community idea the plan for linking up this association with Y. W. and Y. M. was approved unanimously by those present, Sunday. The results of the meeting were fairly and wisely reached. With Sec'y Hutcherson (community leader) acting chairman, the organization was launched. With a suggestion of the chairman that we postone the election of officers by appointing a committee of five to make a state, all acquenced. We were all reminded of how mistakes can be made upon spasmodic selection of officers, therefore, the committee was selected on nomination and was charged to use their very best judgment in their nominations because, as they were admonished, the high character and great importance of the work to be done demand the very best prepared and most competent persons be placed in the various offices. The suggested officers, which suggeston was also adopted, are: president at large, vice president, secretary, assistant, treasurer, librarian and a director who shall also be supervisor over all and assistant directors who shall perhaps be the department heads. May I repeat, that this idea of community development which is original so far as I know, can work miracles in a community especially like Wichita, where there is to be found any kind and any number of musicians. Let's go to it. There is an office for all. FRIDAY, Jan. 9, 1925. A GREAT REVIVAL AT PRATT A GREAT REVIVAL AT PRATT The Second Baptist Church just cured one of the greatest revivals in the history of the church. The remarkable thing about it was, the most irrig was carried on only eight days. Each night was good. Mrs. A. S. L. W. Hutchins conducted the singing and the agreed she was as her boss and sang with much spirit. See F. A. Williams of Salina, was with us and putted with power. The afternoon meetings were well attended each day at 3.30. People came as far a Medicine Lodge and Lyons. It was a common thing to have people from 11 to 20 miles, coming in zero weather, as a result 22 souls were to be baptized Christmas Sunday. The church is much alive and Pastor Stokes and his good people feel obligated to Rev. S. A Wilkins and Hutchins for the re-ope, at mid-patting ever God's plan. The members of Second Baptist Church feel highly complimented having such a broad thinking pastor. He has been successful in bringing some of the best preachers in United States to us, in the person of A. E. Wilson of Texas, L. K. Willaims, President, J. T. Brown, Tenn., E. W. Perry, Okla., J. W. Haves, Wichuta, P. D. Skinner, Coffeyville. Chanute, Kansas. The church services at all churches on Sunday were at their best; large number of visitors, and many members graced the services, who have reached new resolutions. The pastors seemed to deliver their messages with greater power. The Women's Home Mission Society met at the home of the President, Mrs M. G. Glover with many present. A great Missionary lesson was taught which proved very interesting. The President slated a great many new plans all of which the women expect to carry out. The president is a woman with a vision. Mrs. Rev. Barks of the A. M. B Church gave a birthday party on Sunday for her husband, with six of the brothren present; no ladies allowed. She was acknowledged to be a real hostess. Mrs. Minnie Noden left for her home in Atchison, Monday morning, to announce that they are accessories to the White Way Cafe; they hope for great things in the future. JOHN H. Rev. A. L. Brarch is here, one of the strongest evangelists of this country. His sermons seem to be seasoned with negativity when sinners once hear Him, they come back. He is profound in the doctrine and in the divine edifying and electrifying. Our crowds are increasing every evening. Any one failing to lur him is missing a divine trent.

SINST TO SPPING HILL BAPTIST CHURCH TUPELO, MISS., MISS., DEC. 14, 1924. Master of Ceremony, Pastor and Interested Friends of this Christian organization: We, the members of the Missionary Society wish to show our intimate connection with the church and pastor; as far back as history records, the command has been given 'Go ye into all the word and preach the Grace.' That caused a tendency to travel and in that way the Gospel has been spread to the four corners of the earth The spreading of the Gospel was very necessary and important but that was not altogether sufficient. A Gospel cannot be effectively preached from the pit only. The Gospel has a two-fold meaning; first it is good news or tidings, especially the announcement of salvation through the torment death of Jesus Christ. Second and by no means the least, it is a decree concerning human welfare that is agitated as of great importance, therefore, it must be preached by precept and example. From the parable Christ gave to the Sower, we found that the Seeds that brought forth the harvest were those that fell upon the treasured ground. The pastor prepares the fertile soil if the different individual minds and it is the object of the. Miltony Society to come behind him and I sow the spiritual and physical needs of benevolence and kindness to fallen humanity and the less fortunate than ourselves, by obeying of his dreams. We feel our dependence upon the Pastor for God has placed his hands the tools of salvation. From the pulpit he issues the commands as they are given to him, but his field of labor is too tired to cover in details, because his days are numbered as well as ours, so he must be moving towards his goal, so the command is to the church: "To go into the highway and hedges and compete them to come." When we find that they have not the bare necessities of life we give as the Lord has blessed us and it always comes back again. --- Five Cents Per Coin M. J. H. known pastors of Mississippi, w ill Missionary Baptist Church, 24. This one the finest audi- ty point of view. We as a church should feel the weight of responsibility that it re- ing up on us and as Christians re- member that our lives are unabridg d dictionary of the Gospel, which our run stars preach. The Missionary Society meets at different homes in every section of the city, the door of invatation is al ways afar that "who-so-ever will may come." The very presence of our Pastor is encouraging. Tuesday night, he make our hearts burn within as he quoted Scripture that proves to us that all through Christ's ministry suffering, death and resurrection, women were His greatest sympathizer and stayed nearest to Him. For the qualities that shine forth in Rev. Eliza's countenance and for the unrife fish interest you have in us and the handicapping struggle that we are making, we welcome you to our Chow and its aurillaries; our community and homes. The Home Mission Society extends to you a standing invitation. Your presence will be an inspiration, and your advice and efforts will be fuel to the "fire of Service." Dunlap News Notes. The snow being so deep and the roads so blocked with snow, the country people could not get out to church Sunday. Rev W. M. Prexil n took his test Sunday, Exodus 202; "I am the Lord thy God which hath brought them out of the lord of Egypt, out of the lord of briance;" subject; "A True God." Mr. George Lawery wert to Emporia, Saturday to be at the belds of his sister-in-law, Mrs Maude Lawery, who died in a few minutes after he was there. The funeral rites was at the M. H. Church Jas. 6th; we feel our loss is Heaven's grain. She has many friends and will be missed by all who knew her. Mrs. Lott Gaston of Wichita, was here during the holidays visiting his eldest, Miss Janie Gaston. Miss Fern Gaston of Atkinson, Kansas, was visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Andrew Gaston. Mr. and Mrs. E. Morris have been sick with LaGrippe for the past week, they are better at this writing. Mrs. Paxtion is also much better. Church reporter. FOR RENT!

RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS OF THE CITY Page Two Sunday School Lesson (By REV P I FITZWATTR, DD, Dean of the Evening School Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (Q, 1925, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for January 11 THE JUDGMENT OF THE NATION LESSON TEXT NATl. 25 31-46. LESSON TEXT—MATT 25.13 GOLDEN TEXT—In such as ye have done it brethren, ye have done it brethren, ye have done it Matt—MATT 25.19 PRIMARY TOPIC—kindness Lenses JUNIOR TOPIC—Christa Picture of the Judgment INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPICS—Christia Picture of Judgment. YOUNG FEMALE AND ADULT TOLIC —Practical Christianity The subject selected by the lea-son committee is "The Last Judgment but this is an error. According to legitimate textual and contextual signification it is the judgment of the living nations which still lies in the future (x. 32). The idea of a general judgment which is of such frequent occurrence in religious literature and teaching is a fundamental error. It is not once found in the Bible, neither the idea which it is intended to convey. Doctor Denton most truthfully says, "It is a mischievous habit that has led the Christian world to speak of the judgment as being one great event taking place at the end of the world when all human beings point and surrender, Jews and Gentiles the living and the dead, shall stand up to fore the great white thrones and there be judged. Nothing can be more wide of the Scriptures." The Paul speaks of several judgments, different in respect to the subjects to be judged the place of judgment, the time of judgment and the result of judgment. The judge (x. 32). It is the Son of God who came and died to redeem the human race. He is now seen clothed with majesty and power sitting upon His throne acting as Judge. Those who accept Jesus Christ now as their Saster shall not come into judgment (John 5:24). H. The Time (v.31) This judgment will take place when the Lord comes in His story account panied with a retinue of glorious angels. This will take place after He has gathered the elect remnant of Israel. There will be no resurrection in connection with this judgment The prophecy of God the third chant, and Zechariah 11:13, show that it is to be in or near Jerusalem. The enclairaud to Mary "Thou shalt call His name Jesus. He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Highest and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His Father David. And he shall reign over the house of Iuphor forever; and of the Lion slam there shall be no end" (Luke 12:23). A David was a literal king and reigned in a literal place there shall be a literal judge occupying a literal place of judgment. IV. The People Judged (iv 2215) These will be the living nations upon earth after the church has been translated (I Thess. 4:10, 17) These are nations to whom the gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached just prior to the coming of the end "And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." (Matt 21:14) This gospel is distinct from the grace of God which is now being preached. The preachers of this gospel will be the Jews (see Revelation 7 and Romans 11). These are the brethren of the Lord in the flesh who move among the nations of the world with the s writing messages of the news of the Lord's approaching kingdom. Some of the nations will still receive the message and kind receive the Kingdom messengers giving them clothing food, shelter one others will peruse them, thrusting them into prison. Here the first will visit the messengers of the King and provide for their wants. At this time the Judge will separate the nations, placing the shee on the right and the goats on the left hard. The sheep are those who have given proper treatment to Christ's brethren. The goats are those who rejected and mistreated his brethren. If these three classes, the sheep the goats and the brethren he kept separate, all confusion will be avoided. V. The Issue of the Judgment (v. 40: 65 - 34: 11) 1. The Sheep Entering into the In tance of a Prepared Kingdom. 2. The Goats Giving into Declast ; Fire Prepared for the Devil and La Angels (v. 40) This Judgment shall determine their destiny Have Not Yet Seen Him The fact that none saw Christ after Him resurrection except those who loved Him is suggestive that His one men have not yet seen Him and do not know Him - Rohan With One Hand God chastens us by many Instruments, but with one Hand.—Christian Evangelist.

The school was addressed five minutes by our pastor's wife Mrs. William Mellveen who is visiting us for a few days. At 11.00 an impressive service was held; Rev. John Metchum delivered a splendid, straight forward sermon on "Praise." The subject was well delivered and full of the Holy Spirit. B. Y. P. U., and Sunday School are doing nicely; the program was splendid. Evening services at 8; our pastor chose for his subject, "Christ Is Born" Isa, 9:6. This was indeed a wonderful message. We had with us Mrs William Melveen of Dallas, Texas She will leave Friday, but will be back in the spring to make her home with us. Mrs. William Melveen of Dallas, Texas, is in the city, visiting her husband, Rev. Wm. Melveen. Rev. Wm.

At the mooring services, pastor preached a heart felt sermon from 1st Kings, 18.21; theme, "Who is on the Lord's Sue? This was indeed a wonderful sermon, accompanied by, the Holy Spirit. At the close, a little child came forward and united as a candidate for baptism; our hearts were made to rejoice for Jesus said, "Our little children to come unto me." At 8:20 p. m., the house was filled to its capacity to give Mrs. Braxton and her Company of Surgers a hearing; we were royally entertained by them. Mrs. Braxton is indeed a wonderful speaker as well as a wonderful singer. We had a splendid B. Y. P. U. Session as usual; True and Tried Group had charge of program; and won the banner. At the evening services, Rev. L. L. Stewart preached for us. He selected his text from Deut 77:27. We enjoyed the message as delivered by the Rev.

There was a splendid attendance at the services; also our Bible School, was good. At 11 a.m. Rev. R. L. Pope preached an inspiring sermon; his tmly subject: "New Year's Re oultions," was well received by his hearers. His text was from Luke 18:17; "I will arise and go to my father." It spoke of how our minds revert to the past year, we resolved in our hearts to make a man's for all mistakes, to start anew, we look over our imperfections and say like the Prodigal Son: "I will arise and go to my father." With a determination to live a better life, our Heavenly Father is ever ready to we come, forgive and receive those who come Him, and be over before us the perfect life of Christ Jesus.

It being the first Sunday in the New Year, a glorious covenant meeting was held at 11 a.m. A goodly number present, and testified of God's goodness to them during the past year. At 8 p. m. Pastor Williams delivered a strong Gospel sermon; theme, "The Presence of God." The sale of windows for our new church building, was taken up. Windows were purchased by the following: Pastor Williams Deacon Taylor, Mr. Alvin Hart, The Board of Trustees, The Deacon Board and the Sunday School. It is hoped that every window will be disposed of in this way. The work on the new church has been delayed owing to the extremely cold weather, but the workmen are back on the job now. A general church meeting was held New Year's Day and an annual report of everything was made. Reports show that 1924 has been a very successful year from every view-point; stories have been added to the church and much money has been raised from all sources. We are indeed proud of our very efficient leader in the person of Rev. S. A. Williams; he with the co-operation of a splendid Deacon II-ard and Members, is bound to succeed and lead to victory. We feel that much good has been accomplished during Pastor Williams' stay here, not only to the church but to the entire community.
