TO THE SUNDAY SCHOOL AND B. Y.P. CONGRESS ed us t reduced rate of one and one half fares on the Round Trip Identification Certificate Plan to the S. S and B. Y. P. U. Congress which meets in Wchits, Kens. June 24-28, 1923. Round Trip Certificates on this basis will be sold upon presentation of Identification Certificates sent from the Congress headquarters. All parties desiring to purchase tickets must send their applications to this office for such certificates. Failure to procure these certificates will prevent messengers or visitors from getting the benefit of this reduced rate. Procure the certificates in time to present them to the ticket agent at your home; as certificates will not be good if they are present at the meeting place of the Congress. Applictions for certificates should be made as early as possible. The Wichita people are planning to entertain the Congress in great style. It is evident that this will be one of the best meetings we have ever held anywhere in the country. All applications for Identification Certificates should be made to the Congress headquarters, 409 Gay St. Nashville, Tenn. E. W. D. ISAAC, Director. at work, as well as teacher Robinson.

Brown brought a burning message from 133rd division of Psalms, subject: "Stand Fast." The pastor left the wheel rolling, he started it up again; Rev. J. H. Daniels took up where Rev.

The big men's program staged for Friday night, is on; the women have prophesied that without their help the men will go down and they are working hard to defeat the prophecy. Rev. T. E. Walker spent Sunday in Carthage, Mo. Rev. Clayton of Parsons, filled in his absence. A small but appreciative audience heard Prof. Phillips' readings last Thursday evening. Cherryvale was proud to have quite a number of students come out of the 8th grade this year and more than proud of the 2 senior graduates in persons of Misses Zealia Whenton and Odessa Bailey; wish them much success and are proud when our color rank up as these girls have done. Mr. S. Metcalf of Chanute spent Sunday in Cherryvale, visiting friends. Miss Priscilla Barnes and little Miss Pearl Middleton spent Sunday in Fredonia, visiting their mother and Sister, Mrs. Janie Bryant. Mrs. Gertrude spent Sunday in Independence, visiting daughters.

CITY SCHOOLS CLOSE With a selected and well prepared faculties in all the schools of the City, they are closing a very excellent year's work. The children show all round a velorment.

We would not have you forget the splerdid work being done by Misses Irene Woodard and Fannie Rowles, who are having charge of smaller schools. --- RELIGIOUS AFFARS OF KANSAS Sunday School Lesson (By REV. P H FITZWATH, DD, Dean of the Evening School Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (© 1924, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for May 31 PETER AT LYDDA AND JOPPA LESSON TEXT—Acts 9 32-43 GOLDEN TEXT—And they went forth and spanned everywhere, the Lord would with them, and confirm them with signs following—Acts 12 17 THE MORTAL TOPIC—Two Wonderful Things for Our Dear JUNIOR TOPIC—The Story of Two Miracles INTERNATIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Two Great Miracles YOUNG PEOPLID AND ADULT TOPIC—The Places of Miracles in the Spread of the Gospel In order to grasp the significance of this lesson, we should recall the condition which prevailed in the church as suggested in verse 11. Saul the ringed elder of the persecutors, had only recently been converted, thereby disorganizing their forces and causing the church to cry a breathing spell. This period of rest was not used for growing lazy indulgent, worldly and forgetful of God but for growth in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. 2. Spiritual Growth and Development. Most blessed will be the results following the times of outward peace. If the members of the church will but spend time in building it up, 'The real meaning of the word 'offied' is built up. This does not mean morally that the members were being instructed and comforted but that stumphous efforts on the part of indiviual members, as well as the body as a whole, were being made for the advanement of the divine life. As suggested by another, this tapher involves (1) A Foundation. This is Jesus Christ. No other must be laid (1 Cor 3:12 16). (2) Continuous progress This means that a Christ's activities are purposeful, and that the work he is undertakes moves forward with the proper progression (3) Persistent effort This means that the present day's work begins the foundation upon which tomorrow's work must be built. Thus day by day his life is being raised higher and higher as each separate round of material is being laid by strenuous effort. (4) Completion. Finally the work is done. The building is completed; the top stone is brought forth and placed 2 Outward Growth. Building up within the church causes the whole work to be adultered and respected by those without in during them to come and identify themselves with it. I. Peter's Tour Among the Saints (v. 12) This resulted in securing new con- versies II. Two Stupendous Miracles (vv. 22-27) Those were the greatest signs wrought since the days of Christ. The dreadful malady of palsy is unquished, and a corpse is ritenanted by the departed soul. The Lord had promised these signs as they went forth with the gospel message. They were given as encouragements to the disciples to conduce them that the gospel did not lose any of its power by being spend, but rather it increased in power. 1 The Healing of Aeneas (v. 3275) This man's needy condition appended to Peter just as men today should appear to us in their sental dead state. Like His Master Peter could not refuse the needed help. In this he does not direct attention to himself, but confidently appeals to the power in the name of Christ. He said "forsus Christ health thine." The man who had kept his bed for eight long years immediately wore and made his bed Peter wisely kept this miracle from being the end by making it the means to the end—that end was the preaching of the gospel. 2 The Raising of Dorcas (vv. 3043) This woman was full of good works and almost睦 which she "did," not what the tainted of doing. She was a practical Christian woman Her death was a real loss as was widowed by the mourning of those who had been helped. If all professing Christian women would use their medies as Dorcas did there would be much loss of that profless fancywork done. When this good woman fell sick and died the disciples sent for Peter. This shows their growth in faith in the Divine power. Peter again but tated the example of Jesus in putting them all forth. At his command her soul came back to live in her body. This again caused the people to believe on the Lord. In God's Purpose In no case does origin determine value. From the religious point of view, the dignity and worth of man lie in any case in God's purpose concerning him, and that purpose is not affected by the particular method of his working—Henry Churchill King. Much Difference There is as much difference between self reliance and self condit as there is between the North and South poles all the difference in the world! ```markdown ``` To the Baptist Brotherhood of Kansas: DEAR BRETUREN: Our fair state, Kansas by choice is the entertaining hostess of our National B.

Pastor Stewart was present and preached his last sermon to a crowded house, both morning and evening. The morning subject was a masterpiece and was delivered with eloquence and power. He took us to the lofty heights and left us there to commune as it were with the angelic host of God's Eternal King- dom. Everyone present, saint and sinner enjoyed the message to the fullest extent; as evidence of the sinners' appreciation for the sermon, some of them gave as much a dollar in the collection. Subject of the morning discourse was, "The power of the Spirit working in and through man." Text: "Quench not the Spirit." 1st Thess. 19. The members of the Ch., are loath to give up Pastor Stewart, but the Lord has seen fit to place him in a larger field of which we can vouch-safe his ability to take care of the work for he is indeed a pastor and preacher. The doors of our church and homes shall ever remain open for him; for he has made a record here in Paxico that will stand the test, not only on earth but in heaven as well. The members of the church showed their appreciation for the splendid service he has rendered since being here by presenting him a nice little purse at the closing of the evening service. Mrs. Daisy Baker left Saturday for an indefinite stay. Rev. W. M. McCray left for his field in Eskridge, May 23. Miss Edna E. Sadler and Mr. Chas. E.

Smith and the good members of his congregation in Pt. Scott, Kans. This is to be one of the most important meetings in the history of the church in this state, due to the vast development of the church and its added features of work for the Master which have steadily grown in the last decade. Exceptional programs have been arranged with some of the leading ministers of the state featured in special discourses which will touch all phases of work along denominational lines. Special attention will be given to the educational, general mission, extension, financial and religious work of the church in Kansas together with final arrangements for the participation of members of the State Convention in the National Baptist B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School Congress which is to convene in Wichita, June 24, 28. KANSAS BAPTISTS have marked reasons to congratulate themselves upon the high type of leadership which they have in the State Convention under Rev Bowren and His able staff of co-workers and no minister or layman who can do so should miss this opportunity to see the leaders of the church at work. Far less ought a single church fail to have its representatives present. The church will move forward only as a tangible expression of co-operative sympathy and support is shown to the forces that are engaged in promoting the work of the church is in the annual meet. Line up with the State Convention and have your pastor and representatives present at the meeting both for the tangible support they can give and the great inspiration they will be able to secure and bring home to make your community strong in the work of the Master and the present program of the church.

A large congregation was from 17th Ps. 15th verse: "As for me I will behold thy face in righteousness I shall be satisfied when I wake in thy likeness. Those whose pursuit in life are for material things are never wholly satisfied. We seek for the higher and nobler things, the kingdom of Heaven, to obtain perfect satisfaction. The Eternal satisfaction.

That if the activities of the world at-large are about the same as in Wichita, this is some busy world? Not all people who are busy are not doing business. The real business of this world is carried on by the faithful few who think and believe in constructive action. We have many individuals who are busy, who are in action; they are moving always; but their action, their continuous moving and their being busy doesn't build or help the community. It is possible sometimes to have so much to do, that nothing will be done well. Too many irons in the fire at the same time lays some liable to be burned. One should be able to see when he has his load and go on with it. We realize, however, that it is not always possible for sure to just go ahead or stop with his part because of the abundance of the harvest and the woeful lack of an adequate number of laborers; The harvest is always ripe and the laborers are always few. There are two great problems that evolve from such a condition as is described above: I list, how shall the greggam of a community become more constructive instead of destructive as it is? Second, how can one in a community be enabled, render maximum service. By way of explanation, I should like to refer to these two great questions with the view to provolling answers from some of my readers: A community's program is constructive in proportion as its members are by it raised to letter and more progressive standards of living and helpfulness; and any individual can tender maximum service in a community if he has the right vision of life, if he has found his work and can get into a community where the people will be instructed and helped. No one can learn another anything. The individual must adhere to instruction himself if he would learn and he must learn if he is to be one of the component parts of a community. If one is to be one of the makers of the nation, he must stand to be told and trained. A wise man receiveth instruction but a fool ha'eth reproof. Some one said the other day that Wichita has too many leaders who want to lead. This accounts for so many organizations all of which are doing next to nothing constructive. We would be very glad to have your come-back on the two questions: How shall the program of a community become more constructive? And, How can an individual be enabled to tender maximum service in a community? What do you say? Can you think? New Hope Baptist Church, Rev. Merchant, officiating. A husband and sister survive her.

L. Hutcherson, Supt. New Hope Bapti i Sunday School, Wichita, Kau. (With apologies to H. E. Wilson) Of course we make the home, the base of Religious Instruction. The fathers and mothers are well trained in Chill Training as well as Religion. In this country you send your boys and girls to College to learn how to raise horses, cows, hogs, wheat and corn. You call it agriculture. But very little is said of special courses in raising boys and girls—Child Culture: 'Are ye not more than many Spartows.' And too, the adults think of themselves as a part of these societies. We do not have any parents who lie in bed, on the Sabbath day, and tell their children to "Go," but rather, we hear them say, "Come." Also, we have no young or middle age parents who waste their life playing cards or conducting dances in social clubs. Our church is a Seven Days' Institution, and provides for "social and recreational entertainment." However, on the whole he was impressed with our Sunday School philosophy; but not very enthusiastic about the methods. His last question all but withered.
