ATTEND THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S CONGRESS. To the Pastors Superintendents, Presidents of the Union and Christian Workers of America: Never before in the history of America was the call cleaner and more urgent for a prepared and efficient leadership in religious affairs, all believing in and teaching the same essentials as to conversion, to religious life, and character.

ANARCHY IN ACTION WHAT A CONFEDERATE VETERAN SAID OF MOB VIOLENCE. Every mob is a stab at the sovereignty of the people, and a malign denial to them by force of arms of the right to the freedom of orderly government ... The fire belly would ring out the alarm and the streets of any of our cities would swarm with the armed and indignant people if they were told that a ganged in a manner similar to that of their chosen judges from the judgment seats, and put irresponsible and vicious men, chosen by the maruders, in their places. Yet that is the mission of the mob when it arms to storm a fail and put a prisoner to death. If men would not only reflect what treason mob law is to their homes and institutions, mobs would be well nigh impossible. Aside from this attack on government, the evils of the mob have almost boundless sweep in all the relations of life. Can any man, in the wildest flight of the bram, picture Robert E. Lee of John B. Gordon, no matter what the charge against the criminal, joining a mob to break down a jail, and taking a prisoner out to hang him? Why not? Because they are types of courage and honor, and justice and veneration for law, and all these cry out against such an act. The late Judge Thomas G. Jones, of Alabama. graduation. The school is under the direction of an interracial board of trustees and the faculty is composed of both colored and white specialists in the field of social work. The institution is headed by Prof. E. Franklin Frazier, an M. A. graduate of Clark University, Worcester, Mass.

As a committee representing the Letter Carriers of the Wichita Post Office, we wish to offer a few words of appreciation of our co-worker John D. Jones. We gladly bear witness to his upright character and many sterling qualities. We have always found him to be a gentleman in every sense of the word, courteous, kind and obliging, very thoughtful and considerate of the rights and feelings of others, thorough and painstaking in his work. Realizing that by his death we, as co-laborers, lose from our force an honest and sincere man, and the Post Office Department a faithful employee, we therefore wish to offer the following resolution: Whereas in the twinkling of an eye God in His infinite wisdom has called the soul of John D. Jones; and, Whereas in his death, his wife and child have lost a kind and devoted husband and father, the Post Office Department a conscientious and trusted employee, the community an upright and respected citizen, who on account of his good nature and kindly disposition will be greatly missed in tivities, and by his co-workers; there- ANNUNCEMENT.

A WORTHY LIFE PASSES FROM OUR MIDST The Most Beautiful passes away first and the most useful complete its task first—So it was with Mr. John D. Jones, one of the most beautiful and useful lives in this state finished his task quickly and now rests and waits for the general summary of the many good deeds that are placed to his credit. His sweet smiles and sweet voice tried so hard to express to every one that a great soul was behind it all. The way men honored and respected him; to tell the truth, he was a man among men. His life was a life of service and even last Friday night, when the death angel met him at the corner of eleventh and Waco, he was trying to render service for his fellowman, Dr. H. T. Geeder, who was very badly injured and in now in the Wichita Hospital, but improving. Mr. Jones never flenched from duty, but stood ready to help at any time. There has never been death in Wichita, where the taking of a life meant so much to all. His life was felt in the home, society, state in the church and at work. He was a soldier in the World War. Those left behind are: wife, daughter, father, mother, brother, two granddaughters, many other relatives; and friends who felt that his life was a blessing to them and now are wondering how we shall do without him. God loved him more than we could love him and knew the very day and hour that the fruit was ripe and ready for His Kingdom; so He picked Him at the proper time, that other fruit might grow more beautiful and sweet. Last Wednesday at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church, was only a small place compared with the multitude that came out to pay their last respects to such a noble life. The flowers by the car loads, the resolutions, telegrams, letters and ceremonies did their best to tell these generation that a great man had failed; It will take time and God to tell the real worth of Jno. D. D. Jones.

Antioch became that center. 1. Preaching the Word of God at I. Preaching the Word of God at Antioch (iv. 1721) Persecution at Jerusalem scattered the disciples abroad. Some went among the Jews only with the gospel message, while those from Africa and Cyprus courageously crossed the limb and preached to the tribes also. The Lord blessed their work in granting many conversions. So great was the stir that the news reached Jerusalem the mother church. Persecution worked for good in this case as well as in many since. Those humble people with hearts touched with the Spirit went out with the glad message of life to others. II. Barnabas Sent to Inspect the Work (vv. 22-26) I. The Character of Barnabas (vv. 24). He was a good man. It is important in sending a man to follow up the work of the Spirit that his character be good. He must not only have an unblemished character, but his sympathy must be broad. He must be capable of entering in full appreciation of the things about him. Barnabas was full of the Holy Spirit. This is an essential qualification for pastoral work. Only a Spirit filled man can discern the workings of the Spirit of God. He was likewise a man of great faith. Only a man of faith should instruct young Christians. 2. Work Done by Barnabas (vv. 23, 25, 26). (a) He heartily endorsed the work and earnestly exhorted them to con- time steadfastly in the faith, and to cleave unto the Lord. There are many alliances to tempt young Christians. (b) He rejoiced over the work which had been done. This shows that Bornabus could rejoice over the successful work done by others. (c) He brought Soul from Parsus (v 25) He did more than merely inspect the work. Doubtless he preached also for many people were added unto the Lord. The work grew to such an extent that he brought Saul to help him. They labored together for a year with great success and carefully taught the people. Believers, after they have confessed Christ, need careful teaching. Bornabus had the good judgment to seek Saul for this important work. It is the duty of church officials to seek out men and women who are qualified for the Lord's work, bringing them from their places of obscurity and setting them to work in the Lord's vineyard. Saul was a more important man than Bornabus. There are many men in obscurity who require a Bornabus to bring them forth. III. The Disciples First Called Christians (1, 29) They were not called by this name in decision as often asserted. Neither well says, "What Luke intends to convey is that Saul and Barnabas taught in the church for a year and the disciples were first called Christians. The name was a consequence of the teaching." Given tenderers the psalms; "And it came to pass with them that they were combined even for a whole year in the church, and taught much people, and that the disciples were first called Christians at Anthoch." This distinctive title came through Dylane guidance. It was owing to the teaching of Saul and Barnabas that this body called the church was given its unique standing and place. Let it be remembered that it was not given as a term of reproach but because of the close resemblance of the body to its head, Christ. IV. Benevolence of the Church at Antioch (iv. 27:20) They made up money for the poor saints at Jerusalem and sent it by the hands of Balthasar and Naul. The gentleness of the work at Antioch is proven by their good deeds. It was further emphasized in that there was no division between Jew and Gentile Christians. The Gentiles administered to the Jews. Treasures Misfortune may whist our material treasures from us, sorrow or sliness may canker them, turn them to ashes in the mouth. They are not ours; we hold them upon sufferance. But the treasures of the intellect, the gift of being upon nodding terms with truth, these are treasures that are our impregnable own.—A S. M. Hutchinson.

AS OBSERVED BY A FRATERNAL DELEGATE FROM MARS TO OUR STATE CONVENTION— W. L. Hutcherson, Supt. New Hope Baptist Sunday School, Wichita, Kas. (With apologies to II. E. Wilson) (continued from last issue) ized;" "Graded lessons," Young People's Division," "Cradle Roll." "To hear the reports of some of our Sunday Schools, you would think that the only part of the Bible they had read was the bood of Numbers. And to behold some of their efforts at collection time, you would think it the business of the Sunday School to raise money." Beholding my embarrassment, he sought to bring the subject to an end, but as I breathed a sigh of relief, he asked this final question: "Who is responsible for selecting, electing, hiring and firing of teachers?" I made the general reply, "The Church." "Make it more concrete," he retorted ed. "Has no one final authority or responsibility?" he asked. Again, I placed the responsibility upon the church. Knowing that I was somewhat puzzled, he remarked, "You draw a nice distinction between the church and Sunday School; we think of the School as part of the Church." So, I said, that the teachers are nominated by a committee, and confirmed by the church. He than asked of the general knowledge of Sunday School work, possessed by the average Ch. member. Again, I found myself without an answer. To direct his attention in other directions, I asked him to tell no more of his own country and Sunday School System. "Well," said he, "Our Civilization is differently organized. The Spiritual predominate, but I want to emphasize the Intellectual. We depend upon our leaders; but we have facilities for training. Why even the barbers go to college. But Sunday School trusts to inspiration, to fit their teachers for their tasks, but the monitor of the Anglo-Pan Study to show thyself approved of God a workman that need not be ashamed."

The spirit was in our midst, because the house was on hallalujah fire. Everybody got his soul fed. At the evening service, the pastor was at his best, preached from the subject: "A Mind To Work." In part he said, "Let us be up and doing our Father's kiddings. He wants His divine love instilled in us; that by His love, we will feel that it is our duty and vow to work out our soul's salvation." Mrs. Cartwright the wife of Rev. Cartwright, made a farewell talk to the church. We regret very much of her leaving us. And we also feel we will lose a great friend, ardent writer, and a booster but we feel that the Holy Spirit, leads you to others, we should not question His mighty works.

He helped the unfortunate people and came to their rescue. He was progressive in whatever he set his hands to do in this commercial world. He ran a bus- of his own located on Miami St. of this city: a coal and feed yard and excavation work.

We, the members of the First Baptist Church are very sorry and yet we should rejoice because the Holy Spirit must work, and we should not interfere. The work of our pastor, Rev. R. A. Cartwright comes to a close on the 3rd Sunday. He has worked untiringly and faithfully for two years, and we believe that we have lost an ardent leader and worker in the Gospel. He is a man of stability and stern qualities. While here he reached some very instructive and evangelical and soul stirring serenums. He has visited the sick and administered thereunto, buried the dead; done whatever his hands found to do. He has been a great planner, a counsellor and advisor in the work. He has denied himself in helping out other people in a more unfortunate condition than he. We pray him God's speed, that he will go on and preach the word of God to dying men out of ark of safety. A reception will be given in his honor. Hertense Nutter, Reporter. 127 1-2 N.
