Dean of the Preening School Moody Bible Institute of Chicago] (D. 1928 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for January 25 JESUS COMFORTS HIS DISCIPLES LESSON TEXT—John 14:1-31. GOLDEN TEXT—"I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."—John 14:6. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Heavenly Home. JUNIOR TOPIC—Walking in Christs Way. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How Jesus Comforts His Disciples YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Sources of the Christians Comfort. The hopes of the disciples were utterly shattered when Jesus told them about the cross. Jesus had told them that He was going away, and that they could not follow Him. Their hearts were flooded with grief. He consoled them by I. Pointing to the Reunion in the Father's House (vv. 1-3). 1. He Asks Them to Trust in Him Even as God (v. 1). Faith in the Godman, Christ Jesus, will stendy the heart, no matter how intense the grief or how great the sorrow. 2. He Informed Them That He Was Going to the Father's House in Heaven to Prepare a Home for Them (v. 2). He assured them that there was abundant room for all. Heaven is an eternal dwelling place. 3. He Assured Them That He Would Come Again and Escort Them to Heaven (v. 3). Jesus will not wait for His own to come to Him, but will come and call forth from the graves those who have died, and transform living believers, and take them all to be with Himself in the heavenly home foremore (I Thess. 4:10-17). 11. Revealing the Way to the Father's House (vv. 4-11). Jesus informed the disciples that they knew the place to which He was going and the way. To this Thomas interposed a doubt, in answer to which Christ asserts that He is 1. The Way to God (v. 6). He is something more than a mere guide or teacher. He is the way itself. He is the door of the sheep-fold. 2. The Truth (v. 6). He is not merely the teacher, but the truth incarnate. In His incarnation the spiritual and material worlds were united, therefore every line of truth whether spiritual or material converges in Him. No one who does not have Christ can ever have the real truth about anything. In Him we have the truth about man what he is, what he ought to be, and what he shall be in eternity. In Him especially we have the truth about God. 3. The Life (v. 6). Christ is not merely the giver of life, but He is the essence of life. Only those who receive Christ have life in the true sense. Since He is God incarnate, to know Him is to know God. III. Assuring Them That His Work Was to Continue (vv. 1214). Jesus' going away was not to end the work which He had begun. This no doubt meant that through the ministry of the Spirit-filled disciples, the work which Christ began would assume larger proportions. There would be a much greater number of conversions than under His ministry. After the Day of Pentecost the gospel did take a much wider range. During His ministry the message was confined to the Jews, while under the ministry of the disciples it was only limited by the world itself. The disciples' ministry was ushered in by the conversion of three thousand in one day. IV. Promises Another Comforter (sv. 1217). The word comforter means literally one called to the side of another to give help, protection and deliverance. This comforter was the Holy Spirit. Jesus was the Comforter while here in the body. The Holy Spirit was to be "another comforter." V. Assuring Them of His Return to Them (vv. 1924). Although Christ went away He did not leave His disciples as orphans. The Father and the Son make their abode with the disciples who love and obey Jesus Christ. VI. Assuring Them That the Holy Spirit Would Aid Them In Remembering and Understanding His Words (vv. 2520). This the Holy Spirit does by illuminating the minds of the disciples. VII. Giving the Legacy of His Peace (iv. 2231). By His peace is meant the serenity of soul which one enjoys who is reconciled to God, who knows that his sins are forgiven. Doing Better It is not a question of how much we are to do, but of how it is to be done. It is not a question of doing more, but of doing better.—John Ruskin. Duty Do the duty that lies nearest thee; which thou knowst to be a duty! The second duty will already become clearer.—Carlyle. Tomorrow Where is tomorrow! In another world. To numbers this is certain. The reverse is sure to none. Worldly joy ends in sorrow; godly sorrow ends in joy. --- Junction City Notes. Miss Alberta Payne was hostess to the Beacon Light Mission Circle Friday afternoon. Sewing was the main feature of the afternoon; afterwhich, Mrs. Payne served supper. The Brotherhood was entertained at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John Walker. Rev. W. G. Cartwright of Parsons, spent Sunday with us. He preached an excellent sermon, Sunday morning from Psa. 34 14, using as his subject "Broken Hearted." He set forth four great causes of a "broken heart." Sunday evening he preached an instructive sermon on "The Mission of the Holy Spirit In Earth and Our Relation to Him." I used as his text, Acta 7.51 51; I. Thess. 6.19; Iph. 4.30. We are planning to have a big Lincoln Day Celebration. The icy streets and steps are causing many accidents. Mr. Eugene West who was injured in a fall last week is much better.

But we can't speak as well of the church attendance. If Christ should come during this cold spell, only the faithful 3 or 4 would be found. Miss Mayme Terrell has been quite ill the last week. Frank Terrell has gone to Pittsburg, to attend school. Mr. Chas Martin has returned home. Mr. Clifford Bentley is visiting in Iol. Mr. Earl Harris has come home for the winter. Mrs. Franklo Carmans has been on the sick list. Mr. Harry Cox of Topeka, is in the city on business. Mrs. Beasley has been on the sick. B. Moore, Reporter. Salina, Kansas News. ST. JOHN BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. S. A. Williams, Pastor. Sunday School was well attended; an interesting lesson studied and was reviewed by Supt Browner and pastor. At 11 a.m, our pastor delivered a strong Gospel sermon; selected his text from Mark 16.15, 16: "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature; he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned." He spoke of the wonderful power of the Gospel of the Son of God, its power to redeem mankind, regardless of their nationality, creed or station in life. He made it so clear that every true Christian has a great commission. At 8 p.m. Pastor Williams selected as a theme for his very touching discourse these words: "Prepare to meet thy God." It was an impressive way, he told of the great necessity of preparing to meet God: 1st. Because we must meet Him, 2nd. Because of the awfulness of meeting Him unprepared, 3rd. Because of the finality involved. This was a splendid sermon, which furnished much food for thought. Manhattan News. Rev. Burnside was at his post Sunday morning, chose for his subject: "Alone With the Devil;" from which he preached and explained so well. The sermon was great He also preached a noble sermon Sunday night; one came forward to unite with the church. Prof. Freeman is improving and able to be about the house we are glad to say. Mrs. John Walker entertained for Mrs. Cole of Colorado, who is here visiting with her daughter Mrs. Howell, on last Monday. Those who enjoyed the evening were Mrs. Edmonia Alexander, Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Mollie Harrison and Mrs. Charles Howell. A lovely lunch was served and all left wishing Mrs. Cole a happy journey home. Mr. Albert Jones is the marksman hunter; he went hunting last week and brought in a 60 pound coyote and says he is going back and get the mate. We know he will because he said so. Mr. Will McAllister is in Topeka. Rev. Johnson's wife from Junction City, was down and spent the weekend with him. Rev. B. H Duncan has been on the sick list this week. Willie Pitts and wife have moved on the Pitts' property for the present. Mr. Andy Lewis an old settler here for 40 years passed away at his home, 6th and Riley, on the 15th. For several years he has been employed at the post office, special delivery carrier, he was respected by the people. Post Office force turned out to pay their last respect. Key.

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. Hayes., 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 churches 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 Modcrator, J. W. Hayxs, 615 Wabash 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 The Negro Star-for the good of the people A Colored Insurance for Colored People. Pays Sick, Accident and Death Benefits. B. W.
