If the city of Wichita, will vote next Tuesday to establish the municipal college plan, the board of Trustees of Fairmount College have announced that the entire college plant will be turned over to the city, free of charge. The property of Fairmount College consists of three large brick structures, all of which can be used as class rooms; a gymnasium and several residences. Advocates of the municipal university plan have declared: "The greatest wealth of the nation state or city, is in its own sons and daughters. The cost of ignorance is much more to be avoided than the cost of education. The municipal university can be operated by payment of one mill tax." WIIAT THEY SAY An industrial feature planned for the Municipal University, if the voters on April 7, decide to accept Fairmount's offer to turn their college over the city; appeals very strongly to W. L. Hutcherson, secretary of the Water Street Y. M. C. A. Mr. Hutcherson is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, where students are given opportunity to work their way thru college. "As a Tuskegee man I am very much in favor of the trade and industrial school plan," said he. "The plan is to provide half time work and half time college attendance. It has been worked very successfully in the Municipal University of Cincinnati. "The student goes to the university one month, and then stop out to work one month. He is paired with another J JOHN H.

It marked the closing out of one of the greatest administrations in the history of the church. Pastor Willars ended his labor here with us Sunday; it was with saddened hearts and tear-dimmed eyes that we came to the realization of this fact. His untiring labor here among the poor and needy, the sick, the young and old, and for the upbuilding of the cause Christianity, has indeed incased him in the hearts of all; and we will always cherish his memory and look back on his posturate here with pride. Pastor Williams delivered two soul-stirring sermons Sunday. At 11 a. m. he chose his text from St. John 13:31-34; theme, "The Christian's badge;" which was very clearly defined as Love. At 8 p. m., he discussed this subject; "Our Ways and God's Ways." At 3 p. m., the rally for the ceiling and plastering of the new church was brought to a close. Dr. Spencer, Pastor of the University Methodist Church, (white) of this city, spoke to us out of God's Word from Luke 10:38. The men put it all over the ladies in this drive; they raised $343.75 and the ladies $177.45; making a total of $521.10. The laying of the cornerstone of the new church has been postponed until the first Sunday in May as it was impossible to get the w'dows in before that time. It was unanimously voted by the church that Pastor Williams would come back and be with us on that day. Tuesday afternoon the Ladies of the Aid Society and the Mission Circle entertained with a banquet at the church honoring Pastor Williams who made some very impressive parting remarks to these two auxiliaries, who have worked untiringly to put over every project he has offered. Dr. A. W. Ross, State Missionary was also present and delivered a wonderful address. Expressions from all the ladies present told of their deep regret in losing their pastor. The dirung hall was beautifully decorated in green and white and flowers of all descriptions and the ladies served an elaborate four course dinner. The Mission Circle presented the Pastor with a hardsome collar bag and silk tie; and the Aid Society gave a gold handle umbrella (very beautiful) with his name engraved, as tokens of their love and appreciation of his faithful service here. Resolutions were read. Tuesday night the deacons were host at a reception complimentary to Pastor Williams. The church was filled to its capacity. Rev. A. W. Ross delivered a short but very interesting sermon; afterwhich the following program was rendered: Vocal Solo, Mrs. G. A. Reid; Address, "Pastor Williams as a Leader" by Prof. P. G. Porter; Piano Solo, "Has Agnes Hudson; Reading, Mrs. Oma Brummell; Two selections by the Dunbar Chorus, directed by Miss Teraldine Bryant; Violin solo, Miss Christina Brooks; Short talk, Dr. H. H. Wilson; Expressions from the deacons. The deacors presented the pastor with a beautiful shirt and the Sunday School gave a pair of white gold cuff links; he was also the recipient of many other gifts. The guests then retired to the dining hall where they were served light refreshments. Pastor Williams left Wednesday, for his new field, Coffeyville, Kansas, carrying with him the best wishes and fervent prayers of this church, for his future happiness and success.

The Day of Pentecost Fully Come (vv. 1-13). 1. Significance of the Day (v. 1) 1. Significance of the Diy (C. 1) Pentecost is from a Greek word meaning fifty. It was the first Holy fifty days after the wave sheaf offering (Lev. 23:16). The wave sheaf taptifies the resurrection of Christ (I Cor. 15:20:23) 2. The Gift—Holy Spirit (vv. 24) On this day the Holy Spirit seconded upon the disciples. This does not imply that the Spirit was not in the world before this, for throughout all the ages He has been in the world giving light and life to it. It means that from that time forth He would work on a new basis, having the crushed risen and ascended Christ to present to the world. 3. Upon Whom the Spirit Came (v 1); cf. 1:13-17. The twelve and others, both men and women to the number of 120, showing that the gift of the Holy Spirit was for all believers. 4. The Marks of the Spirit (vv. 2-4) (1) External a. The sound of a mighty wind (v. 2) This is suggestive of the mysterious, pervasive and powerful energy of the Spirit. b. The tongues of Flame (v. 3) Each of the 120 was crowned with such a tongue. Tongues show the practical purpose of the Spirit's gift with skill and the fire induces the purifyin energy burning up the dress and mucking a fleeting witness for Christ. c. Speaking in foreign tongues (v. 4). This was a temporary endowment for this special purpose. (2) Internal. This is seen in the transformation wrought in the disables. Though a little while ago they were trembling with fear, they now have great courage and self-passion. 5. The Liftoff (w 513). (1) The truthful were filled with amusement and wonder. The gift of the Spirit transfer is common man into man of power and influence. (2) Some mocked and foolishly at tempted to account for this remarkable occurrence. They accused the disciples of being inxicated. The world today mocks man and woman who testify in the power of the Holy Spirit. 11. Peter's Sermon (vv. 14.17) Peter's sermon is as wonderful as the gift of tongues. It demonstrates the presence and power of the Spirit, since Peter was a Galilean fisherman without literary training. Its analysis is perfect. He begins with a brief defense and scriptural explanation of the phenomenon of tongues (vv. 1421). This is followed by a threefold argument to prove the messiahship of Jesus (vv. 2233). The conclusion is an appeal to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus. 1. The Introduction (vv. 1421). (1) Defense of the disciples against the charge of being drunk (vv. 15) (2) A scriptural explanation. He showed that this was a partial fulfillment of that which God predicted would come to pass (vv 1021; of Josl 222322) before the messianic judgment, all, an appurtenance of the Holy Spirit and the salvation of a who call upon the name of the Lord. 2. The Proposition, or Theme (vv 26). This was the messiahhip of Jesus. 3. The Argument (vv 26) It was threefold. (1) From Christ's works (vv 22) He was approved of God among the Jews by His miracles workers and slaves which God did by Him in their midst. (2) From His resurrection (vv 32). The Old Testament Scriptures lead foretold the death and resurrection of Christ (Ps 102102). (3) From His ascension to the right hand of God (v. 32) the proof that He had ascended on high was the wonderful miracle of the Spirit's operation in their midst, for He had said that upon His ascension into heaven He would send forth the Spirit 4 The Effect of the Sermon (vv. 37-42). Many people were convicted of their sins. Some three thousand repented and were baptized. To say nothing of the divine law, on mere worldly grounds it is plain that nothing is more conducive to the health, intelligence, comfort, and in dependence of the working classes, and to our prosperity as a people, than our Christian American Sabbath—Tyron Edwards.
