FINAL CALL FOR STATE CHORUS FINAL CALL FOR STATE CHORUS DEAR KANSAS BAPTISTS: Pursuant to the request of the State Executive, I have made several attempts to get a State Chorus organized to far, there has been no appreciable response to the call. Notices have been sent out by circular letters and thru this paper with the desire that you might see the point and wake up; but it seems that some one is yet asleep. If we act at once, we can still rest assured that Kansas can w.n. The State Chorus is a new feature, and Kansas must not fail. There are two ways of doing this work: Since the director should train all the voices, it will be necessary for me to come to you and get you started my way or you will have to come early enough to be trained here.

U., Women's Home and Foreign Mission Circles, and District Associations, Dear Co-Workers:The Spirit of the Lord has rested favorably upon our field of labor here in Kansas. We have been blessed in manifold ways, both spiritually and temporally by the Lord of the vineyard. He has honored us with positions of responsibility to labor for His Kingdom come in Kansas and the world. Our responsibilities are great; but our potentialities are equal to our responsibilities, supplemented by faith and a disposition to work. Resting upon us at present is the pleasant task of addressing ourselves to a larger Missionary Pastor's Program; a Seminary operated sufficiently to meet the demands of Kansas and the West, and training of Ministers and Missionary Workers. Our relation to the World-wide Mission evolves upon us the responsibility to contribute our share to the National Baptist Convention, Northern Baptist Convention, and Western Convention. So, to touch this phase of the work, will we, like God's courageous leaders of old permit Him to use us to the end of His glory and inspire His people to let God have His share of their temporal blessing to foster all the interests of His Kingdom? We are all aware of the demands of our work and we all know just what we have done in the past six months. We have not met all of our needs. At this time we are about $1200 behind in our program. Many churches have not sent anything to our work since the close of the State Convention. Our work cannot live if all would follow such an indifferent program. We are asking the larger churches to send to the State Board $25.00 each and the smaller churches to send $15.00 each. If you cannot send this amount, send what you can with a prayer that God will bless His own. Brother Pastor, God is depending on you. Don't disappoint your dear Master. Very Prayerfully, A. W. ROSS Executive Secretary, DR. W. A. BOWR-N President. PROGRAM TUESDAY MORNING—State B. Y. P. U. Board. 10:00 a. m.—Devotions: Cooperation in Kingdom Building as it relates to B. Y. P. U. by Rev. J.

Congress at Wichita, in June is the greatest movement in the history of Kansas, and a greater number of those present pledged themselves to be there. When our Missionary Secly Dr. A. W. Ross told of the 500 students wanted to attend the Summer Schooll in Topeka, in July, we were made to think of our Sainted Father in the project, (Rev. J. H. Van Leu) We imagined the angels in heaven were smiling when we promised to help make that number by sending a representative from each church and Sunday School in the District; and at this time the Moderator appointed Rev. J. R. Roman. Rev. M. H. Houston and Rev. J. D. Hunt, chairman of our Pepp. Coms. for Northeastern. This, together with all other transactions, we adjourned to meet in Hiawatha, in our 3rd Quarterly Board Meeting in May. ey) Dal raed 3 Se
