Pastor Williams was absent from us Sunday being on his new field in Coffeyville, Kansas. It is with deep regret and reluctance that we give up pastor Williams; he has proven himself a God-fearing gentleman and a very efficient leader here among us. During the four years of his pastorate here, St. John Baptist Church has been able to put over a big program for the cause of Christianity. He has made many staunch friends and his going from us is not only regretted by the church but the community as well. But God's will must be done, and we can only wish him God-speed on his new field of labor, and assure him of our prayers. The laying of the corner stone of the new church building which was to have been the first Sunday in May has been changed to the 1st Sunday in April in order that Pastor Williams can be with us as he plans to be here about 30 days longer. Plans are being made for a big service on that day. All friends from the neighboring towns are invited to be with us; program will be announced later.

Calvary Baptist church under the leadership of Pastor H. A. Williams, has taken on new inspiration. The auxiliaries as a whole are working and looking forward to the 60 days' drive that is now on, in which, great interest is manifested, which involves a contest between the men and of our Church; Pastor Williams is leading the men to believe that they are the rules and should stand out above the women in everything. The women are resenting his idea, therefore the contest is on in full blast to see who is to be ahead of affairz. A completed auditorium is the slogan. Pastor Williams was at his best Sunday morning and preached from the text, "As the heart panteth for the water brook, so panteth my soul after Thee O God. The subject produced from this text was 'Soul Yearnings.' Everyone enjoyed the service and was made to feel that it was good to be here. There were two accessors at the evening service. Mr. and Mrs. Bridgewater were visitors at our Sunday school. FRIDAY, March 6, 1925 MEMORIUM. Tabernacle Baptist Church, Memphis Tenn. Rev. Sutton E.

ELIZA MAYO'S EVERY-DAY LIFE There was neve a day that sadness seemed to enter her life but joy seemed to predominate continually. Her notes of angel sweetness caroling the songs of Zion and even when the hand of fate had touched he and the organs of the throat did not function as usual she tried and did sing "The Old Account Is Settled long ago." In life she was a faithful wife, honest ard straight-forward in her dealings with people, exact and firm in speech. She did not enjoy jazz music, jokes card-playing but delighted in going to church. If gloom ever entered her life and cast a shadow she never gave over to it, yet, she constantly spoke of the son seemed most dear to her and often expressed a desire for him to give up the life that he led and become a Christian. It is not ours to question the judgment of our Lord; it is but ours to follow the teaching of His word and if to go or stay or whether here or there, if Jesus goes with us, we'll go anywhere. On Sunday Feb. 15th, 1925, God, in His all-wise Providence to call from labor to reward, one from our midst one we loved, Mrs. Eliza Cross Mayo. We the neighbors do bow in humble submission to His will; We dare not question the wisdom of the Father, who doth all things well. He is the same Father that made the fruits on the trees and some get ripe before others and must be plucked first, so it is with us; we all must go, but some get ripe for the kingdom first a G takes them off the field of de, hearts are sad because of our loss. Mrs. as a patient sufferer, a pure b. d. lovely character; We as neighbors feel that we have lost a treasure that cannot be replaced and we will resolve to shape our lives in the same sweet, loving manner as she did hers, as a mother, a wife and a neighbor.

F B PITZWATER D) Dr. Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) © 1998 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for March 8 LESSON TEXT—Luke 22 33-46 GOLDEN TEXT—"He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?"—Rom 8 22 PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Forgives His Enemies JUNIOR TOPIC—The Savior on the Cross INTERMEDIATE AND FENIOR TOPIC—The Crucifixion of Christ IC—The Crucifixion of Christ YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- IC—Christ Died for Our Sins This lesson brings us face to face with the greatest tragedy of all times. No record in the annals of history approaches it; it is the very cliché of all history. Though unique in its blackness, from it flows strength of liberty and life for all the world. It is highly important that every teacher have personal experience of Christ's death for himself, and then get his pupils to see that Christ's death was instead of their own death I. The Place of Crucifixion (v. 33) They led him away to Calvary, a hill north of Jerusalem, resembling a skull. "Calvary" is the Latin word and "Golgotha" is the Hebrew. This is a most significant name for the place where man's redemption was no compulsified. The skull is an apt picture of man's condition as the result of sin—life and intelligence are gone, leaving only the dark, empty cavern which once contained them. II. His Companions on the Cross (v. 33). Two malefactors were crucified with Him. Their names are not given. This is a fulfillment of the Scriptures "He was numbered with the transgressors" (Isa. 53;12). III. His Forciving Loves (v. 34). He cried, "Father forgive them." He doubtless had in mind not only the soldiers who acted for the government but the Jews, who, in their blindness, were ignorant of the enormity of their crime. IV. The World Revealed (vv. 34-43) Jesus Christ on the cross is the supreme touchstone of human life, and discloses the world's heart. Take a cross section of the world at any time since Christ was crucified, and representatives of the various classes therein were found around Jesus on the cross 1. The Covetous (v. 34). They gambled for His seamless robe right under the cross where He was dying. This represents those whose primary interest in Christ is a means to get gain. 2. The Indifferent (v. 35). "The people stood beholding." They gazed upon Him with indifference. The great mass of the world gaze upon the crucified Christ with stolid indifference. 3. The Scoffers (vv. 85-89). (1) The rulers rulled Him for His claim to be the Savior. They wanted a Savior, but not a crucified Savior. Many today are religious, but have only contempt for a salvation which centers in an atonement made by blood. (2) The soldiers reviled Him for claiming to be a king. The title, "King of the Jews," had been placed over Him in bitter irony, but it was true for, by right of the Davidic covenant, He shall be one day King over Israel (II Sam. 7:9-10). The fact that the superscription was in Greek, Hebrew and Latin shows that he was to be king over all the world. (3) The Impenitent Malefactor (v. 89). This brutal man joined in reviling the Savior, even though he was under condemnation. 4. The Penitent Malefactor (vv. 40-43). The conscious sinner who discerned the heart of the Saylor prayed for mercy. The man confessed his sin against God and cried to Jesus for salvation. He saw that the dying One was the forgiving God. The fact that he acknowledged his sin showed that he was penitent. His request that Christ remember him when he came into His kingdom shows that he recognized that the One who was dying on the cross was making atonement for sin, and that He would come to reign as King. His salvation was immediate. Christ said, "Today shalt thou be with me in Paradise." V. The Death of Christ (vv. 44-40) So shocking was the crime that nature herself threw around the Son of God a shroud to hide Him from the godless crowd. When the price of sin was paid He cried with a loud voice, showing that He still had vitality, that His death was not through exhaustion but by His sovereign will. In This Life It is in this life alone we can learn lessons of patience and self-dental, for there are no sick-heds to watch by, no sufferers to souther, no mourners to comfort in the mansions of the Father's house.—George Macdonald. The Divine benediction is pronounced upon peacemakers. But then peace, to be of value, must be permanent; and to be permanent it must be founded on sound principles. Ottawa News. The Mission Circle of the Bethany Chapel Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. O. B. ware, pastor; met at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Ware. Large number present; when the women were through with what they love to do (that is talk) meeting was called to order by the president, J. M. Hughes.

Briefs From Alma. That old adage that says, if March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb; will have a chance to prove its statement, because Sunday March the 1st was one stormy day and Alma, and vicinity, there were about three inches of snow fell here in the afternoon, Sunday, but so late night the sky was almost clear. Our pastor, Rev. L. L. Stewart was in the jck, Sunday, and presented two soul stirring sermons to the delight of all present. Sunday School was well attended. The pastor made it very plain in explaining why the Jews did not like Christ. He said that the Jews had expected a King who would come to the world and restore the Jews to power again over their enemies who had dispersed them over all the country; but that was not Christ's business to this world. His business here was to establish a Spiritual Kingdom of which He succeeded in doing. The Bible Class at 7 p. m. was well taught by the pastor. The Rev. Joe Johnson who was trans erred here from the M. E. Ch., of Valley Falls, Kansas, is the new pastor of the Colored M. E. Church, here.

Winfield, Kansas Notes SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Last Sunday was a day to be long remembered, as a day of rejoicing for the membership and friends. The pastor Rev. I H. Fisher was at his best and brought two burning messages. At the morning hour his sermon, theme was "Prayer." He discussed prayer as a means of discovering God. That the greatest Missionary need of our time was not for any material or external thing, but rather the deepest need was spiritual. His message was closed with the thought, "Prayer Releases Spiritual Energies." At the evening hour his message was "The Test of Discipleship dealing with the life of Peter after the crucifixion, while he was fishing. An excellent attendance all day.

THE time has fully arrived when a degree more of attention might be paid by religious workers and officials to a more full recognition of rural churches and their specific problems in general associational work. Afforded something like a fair degree of associational patrons and consideration in the distribution of associational patrons and consideration in the distribution of associational offices and honors might have a trend towards arousing greater interest on the part of the rural laity in promoting Kingdom Building. 3 No greater traitor can be found to the higher interests of the race than is the man who makes himself a common carrier of the defects and virtues of the race to the prevailing forces of another race to the prevailing forces of antoher race. To find for one's self the defects within the race and devote one's life to rectifying the same, is to attain the greatest sphere of racial grandeur but to expose those defects in order to secure personal agrandizement and applauds for effort which you have made in the rature of racial work is a high crime against the race. To gain racial nobility one must work and lath for the grandeur and glory of the race within the race. The general attitude of the present state administration thus far has been highly indicative of a trend of affairs which will not prove detrimental to any racial interest. The general purpose of the powers that be directed towards promoting the interests of the entire racial group without giving due attention to the wishes of political bossism. --- ADVERSE attacks and newspaper publicity has made thousands of men great, in fact it affords one of the sure means by which men who can stand the test of severe investigaton make certain their climb up the ladder of success.

Therefore, no man need give great concern to the development of pernicious influences which fail to measure up to the precepts determined thru the Christian Church by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Hence our aim is it that proper attention is paid to the problem of environments as such may touch the student life of our seveal State and National Institutions of learning. Regardless, of the high curriculum of any institution of learning, if the surrounding life is not of such standard as to com- ply within the established sphere organized morality as appro- gical Gospel. It must lose its national value. The duty of the an Ministry directs not unfair includes towards educators relative to the moral atmosphere of institution over which they may have jurisdiction but rather a firm policy of pulpit disapproval of immoral environments from which the great student bodies are collected to the higher end that the Home Life of the several communities from which such institutions are forged to draw their students may be first training stations in the great battle of present day educators to bring the standard of their instruc tions up to the highest moral standard maintained by the patrons of the Church World.
