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. Review by pastor who impressed us that no matter how bad or cruel a person may be, there is always room to be changed as Saul was. At 11 o'clock pastor Thomas took his text from the 1st lesson in the Sunday School quarterly. The pastor brought a wonderful message. He seems to preach better each Sunday. At 3 o'clock Rev. 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. Brown left off and kept the fire burning. We are glad to have such men in our midst. This was pulpit committee day; they are busy beautifying the pulpit for the Association. Committee, Sisters A. W.

Conventions of the State of Kansas are asking that the P. of the State fully co-operate with your young people and have a full representation at the Convention at Fort Scott, Kansas., June 16-19, 1925. Help them to come prepared to con-crete with any messengers from any district in any way. We have attempted to select the best in the State to feed your mind and heart, while the Fort Scott people promise to feed your bodies. Arrange for your messengers to be at the opening because we want to "start a high." We guarantee that your B. Y. P. U. nor Sunday School will be the same if you let your messengers con-fully prepared to do a full round duty. Give them some money so they can make a showing. Believe in the future. Believe in the future of Kansas thru our young folks. We are your servants, II. T. Sims, H. I. Monroe. 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.

Very sorry Sister Sallie Cooper, a member of Bethlehem Baptist Ch was stricken with paralysis after going from church Sunday night; we're praying for her speedy recovery. In Cherryvale, we are using more the missionary spirit in caring for the sick and needy, and Sister Cooper has only a brother; they live together. The Bazaar and 15c chicken supper, to be had at the home of Mrs. Lewis was postponed as Sister Cooper, a strong member of the Mission was ill. 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 are exceeding proud of Profs F. L. Burnett and J C West and their faculties. We are thinking the public should express its appreciation in some tangible way. 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. --- EE I IIIISISSSIDESNSESEEN EOE EEE EER ANE 0 PES OOS as PIN 0 Oa BTL Nie AT ee tr EO ae Pa oar Ter re ls SS NO t . fk RELIGIOUS AFFARS OF KANSAS SAO LEUNG TSY FD SN EN I cot NEE NAENWE NOK VIS NE NO NEN NY NY NEE EY OD ORO RIAA RANE OIE OT ee ree OEE NIE 1 ; = . ~ . = ' SundaySchoo!

Subject of the morning discourse was, "The power of the Spirit working in and through man." Text: "Quench not the Spirit." 1st Thess. 19.

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.
