The Walk of Two Discouraged Disciples (iv 1115) Pinnings was seven and a half miles northwest of Jerusalem. Just why they were walking this way we do not surely know. Perhaps their home there, or they were merely walking to seek relief from their stamming sorrow. If they had believed what Jesus told them about His death and resurrection they would have escaped the great disappointment. The topic of conversation is the tragedy of the city and the insurrection. If they had believed what the 'd' about coming faith from the 'e' they would have been able to near just such reports as were being circulated. II The Unrecognized Coronation (v. 16-24) I John He Wes. Jesus (v. 15) While they rejoiced for their on the wonderful events of the last few days Jesus joined them. Even when he questioned them concerning their sad news they did not recoize. His Many times we are so filled up with our sorrow and also moments that we do not rejoice Jesus walking to our side. 2. 21st October (v. 12) Picking their sadness and per- litation, he sought to help by callin- forth a statement of their grief. 3. Their Answer (1. 12) This question so surprised them that they jumped at the conclusion that they was a stranger in Jerusalem for the condemnation and crucifixion of a great Prophet of Nazareth were so cent and national that no one the dead lived in Jerusalem could be a warrant of them. One valuable feature of the unbelief of the disciples was that it revealed the fact that they were notorious enthrallers but bound to convain. Out of this morality of the disciples developed no shaken faith in Christ's resurrection III The Scriptures Opened (vv. 20, 31). 1. Hln Rebuke (v. 25 20). He did not rebel them for not hesitate the stern words that they had heard but on notice and lack of corollion in the Old Testament in Scriptures. They had only accepted such parts of the Old Testament as suited them in things. Men and women who do not believe all that the Scriptures say about the work of the blessed Navarre are entirely unworthy. The very center and heart of the Old Testament Scriptures set forth the death and resurrection of Christ. It is ignorance of the Scriptures and unbelief of the wonders and complete redemption wrought by Christ the robs us of many joys, and power and efficiency us workers for Christ. While sitting at mealt with the disciples their eyes were opened on they saw Him then the bread and distribute it to them. We, too, can see the Lord on such common occasions as eating a meal, if we have open eyes. Indeed we ought to see Him when eating selling buying and in our receptions, for He has promised us His presence. They were so filled with joy over this revolution of the Savior that they hastened back to Jerusalem to tell the other disciples of His resurrection. IV. Jesus Stands in the Midst of the Eleven (vv. 47-48). I He said, "Dance he unto you" (vv. 50-47), but they were terrified and of frightened. Ninful man in the presence of God is ill at ease. 2. He showed them His hands on His first (vv 38-40). In order to make them of His personal identity He gave them tangible evidence that He was not a mere spirit. 3. He prefere them (rv 11-15) 4. He commissioned them to evangelize the world (vv 40-49) They were to teach concerning His shed blood and resurrection, and on this ground they were to preach repentance and remission of sins to all nations. V. Jesus Ascends Into Heaven (vv 41-53) Having given them the putting message to evangelize the world He ascended into heaven. Just as we treasure the last words of our departed loved ones we should ponder this farewell message of the Lord.

MAN may in the heat of passionate dislike or interested displeasure battle against the prevailing individuality or of a fellowman. But no man so disposed can defeat the final success of the individual who clings close to the sheltering column of the Christian Church and holds as His own, a hallowed spot of worship in some secret prayer closet. THINKERS of the race must eventually cease to admire the labors of those who willingly carry water to the elephant and cast an adoring gaze at a determined, positive hip devil ped in a school of thought which thinks in terms of victories for all, and make the elephant dance.

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. Let me hear from you at once. Salina, Kansas News. f.lendul services at our church, the Sunday. The Pastor being away from the city a glorious covenant meeting was held at 11 a. m., and a good old prayer meeting was held at 8 p. m. Pastor Williams returned home af- ter a two weeks' stay in Coffeyville. Chol The Negro Star—for the good of the people To the Churches, Sunday-schools, B. Y. P. 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.

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.

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
