NEW YEAR'S FORWARD To The Brotherhood of The Baptist State Convention of Kansas. GREETINGS: The beginning of the New Year brings many tokens of Divine favor upon our work. From every field of activity comes inspiring reports and with it a call to go forward. That is to say, an appeal to move up. We hold in reverence all who labor with us for the Lord as follow yoke me for the cause. And the call is the selfsame to all. It comes in the words of the Airtale Paul, "Whereunto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule. Let us mind the same thing." Our Samaray, Our Missionary Pastors, and our Foreign and Home Mission Program are all worthy. It is the responsibility of the brotherhood of Kansas that those worthy objectives will not suffer loss. NEW PASTORS This last year brought us several new ministers: Rev. L. V. Bolton, Shilch, Topeka; Rev. V. S. Cooper, Second Baptist, Nicodemus; Rev. B. L. Marchant, New Hope, Wichita; Rev. Montgomery, King Solomon, Kansas City; Rev. R. L. Gilder, Second Baptist, Iola; Rev. I. H. Fisher, Second Baptist, Winfield; Rev. J. L. Hawkins, Second Baptist, Newton; Rev. H. C. Houston, Second Baptist, Illawatha. We feel that the State Convention has been enriched greatly by the coming of such strong leaders to the field. As our Convention stands on hundred per cent with the National Baptist Convention, Dr. L. K. Williams, President, I am sure that these children come to join us wholesale tended and with full co-operation with our present untarnished and superior re ord. Kan as Convention stands one hundred per cent with the National Convention, and, as such she carries the highest record for contributions to Missions and etc., according to the numerical strength. We are praying that this unity he preserved and our record for gifts be increased. PASTORS CHANGED Those who have changed fields during the past year are as follows: Rev. C. P. Morrow who is now serving at Ebenezer, Atchison; Rev. J. R. Roman is back at his old field, Mts WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Jan. 16, 1925 That the coming of the great Pag- ceant is no more a dre in with Wichita; but now it has become a reality it is upon us. The leading Negro of the city have become a very euthere lattice about it. At a meeting his Monday evening, when Miss Adda Crogman, the general directress ar rived at Calvary to introduce herself and her pageant to Wichita, she was greeted by Lout 100 of Wichita best Colored Citizens and a few whites. To stage this pageant, as it is de- igned by Miss Crogman, the co-op- ation of all faces of the city will be noed. We have assured Miss Crogman that she will experience the very best of any kind of toil, to be found anywhere, right here in Wichita and surroundings. Miss Crogman is a very pleasant personage, indicating that success is rural already. A general mass meeting is to be held in connection with the Community Music Lovers Organization, Sunday three o'clock st Calvary. Every person is asked to be present and take part in the pageant. Anybody who plays an instrument, please see the director at once so we can get the orchestra started. ```markdown ``` MRS. M. D. JONES. JUNCTION CITY, KANSAS President of W.

RESOLUTION AND CONDOLENCE ON NOBLE The grim monster death has invaded the secret portals of our sacred Temple and called our beloved Noble Harrison R. Brown from labor to reward. He is with us in memory only. We the Nobles of Emth Temple No. 20 A. E. A. O. N. M. S., wish to express our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family at this trying time. Noble Harrison R. Brown was a Noble indeed faithful to the Ancient Order and loved by all. It grieves us to give him up; his place we can not fill, but we feel assured that he has found protection under the Dome of the Temple not made with lands, eternal in the Heavens. Therefore, be it resolved, that a page in our records be set aside in remembrance of our beloved Noble and that a copy of this resolution be sent to the bereaved family; a copy to the two local papers and a copy on file in the Archives of this Temple Sacred to the memory of our beloved Noble who has crossed the Mystic Desert into the Oasis of Best.

And the expressions coming from the members of each respective field, is, that God has blessed them with the right man in the right place. But we would say to the new pastors, and to those who have changed fields, also to all the pastors of the State. let us move up an forward and put the work of the Kingdom on in earnest for God and Jesus Christ our Master. Our Baptist people have many reasons for thanking God and taking courage. The great mass of our people remain loyal to the faith of the New Testament. We stand as a unit in greater things. The Deity of the Lordship of Jesus Christ, the efficacy of His atoning death, and the power of HIs resurrection, are the central truths of our message. We are seeing more clearly the world's needs for these universal elements of Christianity. Our Baptist message to mankind supplies a platform as bravely as human needs and as comprehensive as the races of mankind. It is a message of loyalty to a divinely revealed Gospel; to love and have the good will of all the races and people. It is a message of desire for the good of equality, a fraternity in all human relations, prayer and labor for the triumph or the Kingdom and righteousness that the will of God may be done on earth as it is in heaven. FUTURE OF THE MIDDLE WEST The objective of the Kansas Baptists is the hope of the Western world. We must prepare workers for this section of the universe, or the Kingdom's coming will be delayed and many souls will not have their Christian program revisited to them as they can best understand it. The Central Baptist Theological Seminary is the one great hope of the Kingdom in the western world. It is a God given opportunity. Not to push its possibilities is a backward step of several generations. Please respond to our appeal sent to you in a special letter for this our work. Let me hear from you immediately after the second Sunday.

SIMS, Editor of The Negro Star, Secretary of the National S. S. and B. Y. P. U. P REV. C. P. MORROW, Attichion, Kansas. REVIVAL Conducted by REV. C. P. MOLROW, Atchison, Kansas. Rev. C. P. Morrow was installed pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Ch. of Atchison, Kansas, Oct. 19, 1924. He came to said church from Ottawa, Kansas, after a very successful pastorate of 3½ years. Being a stranger to this congregation and in this sect of the country, he first sought to become acquainted with the people, and to intell gently inform himself with the true conditions of the church No effort was made to change any part of the previous administration until December 31, 1924, at which time the regular business meeting was held preceded by a church banquet in which the members participated largely. At the business meeting the officers were elected for the ensuing year, and quite an extensive programme was adopted for the year 1925. The Rev. C. P. Morrow announced that the Revival would begin the 1st Sunday in January. He urged the members to pledge themselves to God for so many souls, declaring that he would go down on record for 25 souls. The Revival began Jan. 4th; Sunday morning, and after the expiration of 8 days, thirty have been added to the church; twenty of that number for baptism. The pastor is conducting his own meeting with marvelous success, assisted by a faithful membership. The Rev. Mr. Page is the prayer meeting leader; he is gifted in song, and is on hand every night to begin his part of the work. tents Per Cop 1 Congress, to convene here in June of this year, is now attending the Congress Board in Indianapolis Indiana. The most attractive feature of the meeting is, how readily the unconverted respond to the invitation given by the minister to accept prayer before and after the message has been delivered. Many members register daily at the church in prayer throughout the day. They record their names and the hour of prayer before leaving the building, and this has proved to be a valuable asset to the meeting. (Continued on page 4) SOUTH WEST DIST. OFFICIAL NOTICE The Churches, Mission Circles, Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Societies will please take notice!—That the 2nd quarterly Executive Board will meet with Calvary Baptist Ch., Thursday and Friday before the 3rd Sunday in February, the 12th and 13th, 1925, Wichita, Kansas, Rev. J. W. Hsyes., B. D., Pastor. Now just a word about the new plan: The leaders of the Association are to be congratulated upon the manner the churches of the District are falling in line with this NEW PLAN. In short, it is as follows: Each church is responsible for $1.25 per member annually, one-fifth or 25c is due at each Executive Board Meeting and two-fifths or 50c at the annual meeting. Each auxiliary will be given credit for one-fifth of the total amount due to be raised by the church; for example, if a church has 100 members, it is due to pay annually for denominational work; $125 00 for which each auxiliary will given credit for $25 00, and so on. This makes the church, responsible for the work and not the auxiliaries and yet the auxiliaries are responsible to the church, and receives credit in the Association in proportion as the church's apportionment is paid into the Treasure of the Association at the Executive Board meetings or Annual meetings. Let the Presidents of the auxiliaries send in their programs to Moderator, J. W. Hayes, 615 Wabath Avenue, Wichita, Kansas, at once; that the program for the Executive Board named above, may be made. Let each church gather from its membership, one-fifth or 25c and bring or send it to— M. S. JONES, Ex. Secretary, Friend, Kansas. REV. J. W. HAYES, B. D. Moderator, Wichita, Kansas. RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS OF THE KANSAS Page Two Sunday School Lesson Olly REV P B FITZWATER U B Dean of the Evening School, Bloody Bible In institute of Chicago (8, 1235 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for January 13 THE LAST SUPPER LESSON TEXT—Luke 22 7-30 GOLDEN TEXT—This is my body which is given for you this do in remembrance of Mr. Luke 22 19 PRIMARY TOPIC—The Lord's Sup INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Meaning of the Communication Service YOUNG POPLER AND ADULT TOPIC Communion With Jesus Christ 1. The Passover Prepared (vv. 713) 1. The Disciples' Inquiry (vv. 79) They inquired of Jesus as to what they should prepare for the Passover. They no doubt were anxious to be of service to Him. 2. The Master's Strange Directions (vv. 10-12). They were to go into the city where they would meet a man bearing a pitcher of water. He assured them that they would then be shown a large upper room furnished. 3. The Challenge of the Disciples (v. 12). They did not stop to question the sums of the contend but like true disciples observed. Jesus because He is omniscient knew just how the matter would turn out. II. The Passover Eaten (vv 1419) 1. By Whom (v 14)? Those who sat down to this last Passover feast were the Master and the Twelve Apostles. 2. His Words Unto Them (vv 1518). (1) "I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer." How anxious He was to show them the meaning of the passion through which He was to get; also He craved their human sympathy as He passed through this trying ordeal. (2) "I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God." His death was the unilateral fulfillment of the passover meal. He looked forward to that time when the process of redemption would have been completed and a perfect union between the disciples and the Lord would be consummated. (3) "Take this cup and divide it among yourselves." The disciples were now partaking of that symbol of its blood. He assured them that he would not again drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God should come. Drinking amew in the kingdom does not mean that in heaven this service will be renewed, but the this was symbolic of the heavenly reality. III. The Feast of the New Covenant Instituted (sv 19 20). This took place at the close of the parish supper. 1. The Bread, a Symbol of Christ's Body (v. 19) Christ giving of Him self to them. In order to get benefit from physical bread it is necessary to receive it. In order to get benefit from Christ one must receive Him. 2. The Cup, a Symbol of Christ's Blood (v. 20). This was symbolic of the atonement which was made by the shedding of His blood on the cross. He said: "This cup is the new testament in My blood which was shed for you." Indicating that each one must personally accept the atonement made by the shedding of His blood. IV. The Wicked Behaviour at the Feast (sv. 21 27). 1. The Treachery of Judus (vv. 21, 23). (1) The time of its manifestation (v. 21). It was while they were cutting the last passover that Jesus made the announcement of the betrayal. Perhaps the reason why this feast was disturbed by such an announcement was that Judus might be given an opportunity at this last moment to respond. (2) The betrayal was by the deter-minate counsel of God (v. 22 - Acts 2:25). Nothing takes place by chance. Even the evil, sinful acts of men come within the permissive providence of God, but this does not lessen the guilt for Jesus says: "Woe unto the man by whom He is betrayed." (7) Sorrowful question (v. 21). The disciples did not seem to suspect one another but made the question a personal one. 2. Selfish Ambition of the Disciples (vv. 2127). In this tragic hour the disciples were so concerned with the thought of honorable position that they were striving among themselves as to who should be greatest. V. The Apostles' Place in the Kingdom (vv. 2820). He assured them that those who continue with Him in His trials shall be appointed unto a place in the kingdom which will entitle them to eat and drink at His table and sit on thrones judging the two tribes of Israel. Attitudes The "De-attitudes" and the "D-attitudes" are in the fifth chapter of Matthew,—Kchoa. Many Souls Lost Many souls have been lost by any ing "romorrow" instead of "today."—Kchoa.

Hall, subject: "What A Church Is;" Text: "But if I tarry long that, thou mayest know how that thou oughtest behave thyself in the House of God, which is the Church of the Living God, the pillow and ground of the Truth." Leavenworth Kansas FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. R. A. Cartwright, Pastor. The Sunday School was well attended Sunday, notwithstanding the bad weather, a good crowd was out and studied a beautiful lesson by its many simple thoughts from it; and a guidance of the Holy Spirit that inspired the writer. At 11 o'clock services, Deacons Price and Wm. Pettit led devotion. Officers took charge. Everyone spoke from the depth of his heart and soul and the slothfulness and impunctuality, of last year pledged to be done away with in the, coming year; we pledged to do more work, take on new courage, bring somebody to Christ, ask God to help us in our undertaking and last but not least for the success of the church. We had a wonderful testimonial meeting; the Holy Spirit was with us. The songs were touching and w.th much spirit. One backslider was added to the church, Bro. A. Price. B. Y. P. U, opened with devotion 15 minutes, Class took up study; The History and principles of the Kingdom of God.

Discussion in Union Sunday is The Sinner. Thursday night. Jan. 8, our ex-pastor, Rev. J. W. Hayes, preached the opening sermon of the revival, from subject: Mending Nets. He explained the many faults we have, such as untruthfulness, sowing seed of discord, living a questionable life, etc. He said before a Christian can get an answer from God, he will have to mind his or her net. We always enjoy hearing Rev. Hayes and welcome him to our church any time. He has a home any time he comes to Leavenworth, he has a home with all of us. We can not forget his ardent service rendered when he was our dear leader. School opened on time by assistant superintendent, Bro. A. Miles. Bible discussion: "Coming Judgment;" was wonderfully explained by pastor and school as a whole. 11 o'clock, devotion by Bro. Ed Lewis. Sermon preached by pastor; subject; 'Fishing.'

As a Race, for that broken down car, you should patronize Mr. Allen Saunders, 621 N. Meade; Service. A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR CHURCHES RACE RELATION SUNDAY FEBRUARY 8.1925 Let each community throughout the the State avail itself of the special opportunity for better and more friendly relation between the races, especially among the two predominant races-White and Colored People. After all that is said and done, the men and women of both races who are actually carrying forth the principles of Jesus Christ, have an abiding faith in each other and are determined that no situation can arise that will destroy the only one great hope of all humanity throughout the whole earth. The conglomeration of races always tends to destroy the best in any of them and bring to depths the best in either of them. Christian Brotherhood is the hope of all the world and the true spirit of Christianity. There is an unmovable confidence in an established Christian Brotherhood which the churches hope to make permanent and establish in this glorious land of ours. Pray for it. Work for it. Let our ministers of all connections meet together and make a program in keeping with the following: "The Federal Council of Churches, through its commission on the church and race relations, has designated February 8th. 1925 as Race Relations Sunday, and asking that the church of America dedicate it to the promotion of mutual understanding and good-will between the races. The interchange of pulpits between white and Negro pastors and speakers, visitation of the churches of the other race, special sermons and addresses on Race Relations, studies of Negro achievements and the singing of Negor Spirituals are some of the suggestions offered for the observance of the day. Dr. George E. Haynes, Secretary of Commission, has prepared a twelve-page pamphlet suggesting programs; themes and hymns appropriate to the occasion. Copies of this pamphlet may be had for 50 each from the Federal Council of Churches, 105 East 22nd St. New York. A. W. ROSS. Ex. Sec. and Supt. of Mission, M. B. State Con. of Kans.
