Church; Solo, "Have Thine Own Way, Lord." Rev. Boyd, Pastor of Mt. Olive C. M. E. Church, without obituary, said, "The last enemy is death; she has conquered her last enemy." He closed a very timely funeral discourse by commending the bereaved family to God. Dr. Owens spoke of her as a dear friend who had fought a good fight and commended the family for their kindness to their mother while she lingered, fighting her last enemy and making ready for her departure and asked that they find consolation in reading the Scriptures and knowing, "they did what they could." Revs. Williams, Moore and Howard all said many good things on the life of the departed and dear mother of our own Susie who had been all and all to her mother. Dr. L. A. Johnson sang, "Death Is Only a Dream," very impressively. In tokens of last respect, the beautiful grey couch was covered with flowers, which bore designs of various shapes: broken heart, missing spoke, cross, pillow circle, etc. Many relatives and friends followed the remains to Elmwood Cemetery, where it was laid to rest. To dear Susie, we commend you to God who doth all things well. We know a dear mother, a wise thinker, a sane counsellor, a tender hand has fallen; but in all things, God knows best. Cheer up and take new courage and see Jesus in everything. reflect to some higher things. Rest on, we will join thee soon. Mrs. F. C. Woods. St. Paul Notes. "Characteristics of Early Church" was the subject of a splendid sermon by our pastor, Rev. R. L. Pope, at 11 a. m. His text was from Acts 11:19. He told of the many trials and persecutions the Early Christian Church was subjected to, how God has ordained special men and women for special work. That we should prepare to take up any work for the good of the church and the glory of God; its influence felt to the salvation of mankind. Rev. Pope also preached again at 8 p. m., subject: "The Last Sabbath." The regular session of the Bible School was held at 9:45 a. m. At our Sunday School Teachers' Board Meeting on Tuesday evening of last week, the Misses Dorothy Humphrey, Capitola Bonner and Emma Dean Bell, were appointed teachers. Misses Sadie Graves and Marie Mayberry, are the delegates to the District S. S. Convention June 23-25, that will convene in Gt. Bend. Ladies Aid Society meets on Wednesday afternoons. Stewardess Board No. 3 will serve the weekly dinner, Thursday, with Mrs. A. Henderson in charge. Our Children's Day Program will be held Sunday, June 28th. IT CAN BE DONE SAID THE WEMPE OF ARTHUR GOSSETT POST NO. 273, AMERICAN LEGION, WICHITA. The Post was organized and had maintained a membership of from twenty to thirty-seven. There were sprites of interest, which would wane. But a small group of determined men held on. They would represent at the State Convention, and have had from one to seven men at the National Convention. The Post sent two men to California. But there were these in the membership discontented. In their regular meeting on June 3rd, they had 29 members. They sat out to increase it to 50, in one week, and at the end of that time, they had 58. So they say, IT CAN BE DONE. And we did not give "Bean Feeds" to do it. So now they say, this is just the beginning. X-RAY DEMONSTRATED TO NEGRO PHYSICIANS DOCTORS AND DENTISTS UPGHE TO CO-OPER A STATE CONVENTION, HERE.

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.

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 clearer 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. Too much ground is being lost, because of the inability of some to differentiate be- tween the real and the counterfeit, and so to remedy this defect, to inform and inspire the workers a great school is to be held in Wichita, Kans., June 24-28.

It is said that she was fourteen years old at the outbreak of the war of 1812, and was a slave of Josiah Holder, who represented Johnston County at the State Legislature for two terms. Mrs. Holder often told of having seen Henry Clay once and could recall his appearance. She could also remember several incidents that happened during the early history of America. She was highly respected by all who knew her and was very active until her death.. GREAT DAY IN ELDORADO Rev.

The program is being discussed as one of the best Eljorado has witnessed as a whole. Mrs. N. B.

All who attended, motored to Wellington, so we were all home for Sunday night services which were also very good. Sunday afternoon, June 14, a rally was held here at Pleasant View; Rev. I. II. Fisher of Winfield, preached a splendid sermon for us. Among the many interesting and useful things he said, was the fact that "Religion" defining it in modern language, is only playing fair with God and treating your fellowman right. Our pastor preached an excellent sermon for us in the morning from Acts 17:26. Sunday being Children's Day, the children had their program at night, which was very good. Mrs. Patterson of Kingfisher, Okla., spent the week end with Mrs. L. E. Cunningham. Rev. I. H. Fisher, Mr. Cottom, Misses Alice and Blanche Cottom of Winfield, were here, Sunday.

RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS OF KANSAS Sunday School Lesson (BY REV P B FITZWATER DD, Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (C. 1981, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for June 21 LESSON TEN ACTS 12 1:19 LESSON TEXT—AUTHOR GOLDEN TEXT—ANGEL of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them—Is 477 PRIMARY TOPIC—Peter and the Angel JUNIOR TOPIC—Peter Deliverance From Prison INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC-How Peter Was Brought Out of Jail JOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Possibilities of Prairie 1. Peter's Imprisonment (v. 1-4). 1. By Whom (v. 1). Herod, the grandson of the wicked Herod who slew the innocent children of Bethlehem. 2. The Reason (v. 5). 2. The Reason (v. 16) It was to gain the favor of the Jews. Herod was not a Jew, but an Epileptic, therefore knew that his success was dependent upon his having the good will of the Jews. He did not particularly hate the church, but loved popularity. Since the church had developed so as to be a successful rival of Judaism, he saw an opportunity to curry favor with the Jews by putting forth his hands against it. He was arrested, put into prison and guarded by four quaterlings of soldiers. A quaternion is a guard of four soldiers. Four quaterlings means that a special group was on duty each watch of the night. It was the custom for two soldiers to be in the prison, one on each side of the prisoner bound to his arms with chains (x, 6), the third one to watch outside the door, and the fourth to be near the outside gate. II. The Church of God in Prayer (x, 5). The church was at a crisis. Her att union was most grave. James, one of the brethren of the church, was dead, and Peter, the most prominent of all, was in prison. In this desperate strife they did the wise thing—the fool, themselves to prayer. It was a noteworthy prayer. 1. It Was Into God, Not Unto Men, or to Be Heard of Men. 2. It was United Prayer. 3. It Was an Intensely Earnest Prayer. It was more than uncasing prayer. It was the earnest desire of the soul as it stretched itself out toward God. 4. It Was Definite Prayer They specifically offered prayer to God for Peter. Their prayer was concentrated, definite and specific. III. Peter Delivered by an Angel (vs. (b-11). This occurred the night before Her ols plan to make a public display of him 1. Peter Sleeping (v. 6) The Lord keeps in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on film (Isa. 20.3). 2. Peter Leaving the Prison. (vs. 7-10). A heavenly light shone in the prison. The angel smote Peter on the side; the chains fell off Peter put on his clothes and passed by one guard after another through the iron gate out into the city. The whole transaction was orderly and leisurely, showing that God is not in a hurry. 3. The Effect Upon Peter (v. 11). 3. The Effect Upon Peter (v. 11). Although the matter was so wonderful to Peter, even outside his consciousness, when he came to himself he was assured beyond a adventure that God had miraculously delivered him from Herod's wicked hands. IV. Unconscious Unbelief (vv. 12 19). 1. The Behavior of Peter and the Church (vv. 12 17). Peter went to the house of Mary and knocked. The knock was answered by Rhodia who was an overjoyed that she forgot to open the gate, and ran in and told them that Peter was at the gate. The disciples were not prepared to such good news, and even accused I of madness. She, undaunted, insisted. They offered as an explanation that perhaps it might be Peter's guardian angel in his likeness. Peter rejoiced unto them the Lord's dealing with him, and instructed them to and those things known unto James in the brothren. 2. The Behavior of the Soldiers (xxv 15-19). There was great agitation among them us to what had become of Peter. This was a serious matter since they were responsible for him. Not being able to account for Peter's escape, Herod commanded that they be put to death. After this Herod went down to Caesarea. Here he was adored as god. Because he arraced this homo to himself, the Lord gave him Herod died, but the Word of the Lord grew and multiplied. Value of a Deed The value of a deed depends upon its meaning, and its meaning depends upon its motive and the spirit and purpose that prompt it.
