Two methods are suggested: First: The biographical This is a met oil which can nearly always be used to advantage, since pupils of all ages are interested in the study of persons, Peter, Paul, Stephen, Philip and Barnabas are very prominent characters in the quarter's lessons. These may be assigned to members of the class the week before with a view of a brief biographical sketch being prepared and read to the class. Second: The summary method This method calls for the review of the principal facts of each lesson with statement of the readings teachings thereof. The following is suggested Lesson I.—On the Day of Pentecost the risen and ascended Christ sent the promise of the Father causing the Holy Ghost to descend upon the disciples to qualify them to be witnesses of His death and resurrection to all the world. Lesson II.—The healing of the lame man shows that the risen Christ is able to make strong a man who was born a cripple. The man who was hounded thoroughly advertised the miracle. Those who have experienced the life of God cannot help but make it known. Lesson III.—The church is God's dwelling place. Since it is His dwelling place it is as holy as the holy place in the sanctuary. The judgment which befell Ananias and Suppliri proves that God will not allow the hypocrite to escape His judgment. Lesson IV.—The behavior of Stephen proves that the risen Christ is able to sustain His witnesses, even while they are sealing their testimonies with their blood. His standing shows His active interest in His disciples and that He welcomes home to heaven those who are faithful. Lesson V.—The experiences of Daniel and his companions show that total abstinence pays. Lesson VI.—Philip, the only man in the New Testament called evangelist is in the energy of the Spirit preaching the Word and winning men to Christ Lesson VII.—The conversion of Saul, the bitter enemy of Christ, is an illustrous example of what the revelation of Christ in His glory can do, and also illustrates the method of the conversion of Isaiah Lesson VIII.—After Saul's conversion, he straightway preached Christ as the Son of God. Those who are really saved know whom they have believed. Lesson IX.—The stupendous miracle wrought by the risen Christ at the hands of Peter proved that the gospel lost none of its power by being preached abroad. Lesson X. When Christ would break down the middle wall of partition between the Jews and Gentiles He gave to Cornelius and Peter each a vision. When the gospel was offered to the Gentiles, the Holy Ghost came upon them as at Pentecost. Lesson XI. Before the foreign missionary enterprise was launched, a new center of operation was established at Antioch. The Holy Spirit established this strategic center and sent out the missionaries. Lesson XII. The risen Christ hears the prayers of the church and sends His angels to deliver His faithful servants. The Best Judges Us Our attitude concerning the great value, the great reality, the great personality, is not to put pressure upon our own minds or upon the minds of others to believe in them, and not primarily either with ourselves or others to defend them or to argue for them, but simply to give them or put them with us and to do what we want to help others, too, to give that superiority. The best this is, is to suffer rather than we than it. Henry (that bill) Ily. Better Than Guilt Better it were, that all the miseries which mature owns were omitted once, than guilt.—Philopeare Earl Balfour said not long ago: "Let us not fear that the future is going to be less glorious than the past. Problems of which we never dreamed multiply upon us until we are almost overwhimmed. But let us not lose faith or courage." To love truth for truth's sake is the principal part of human perfection in this world and the seed plot of all other virtues.—John Locke.

Hermann R. Witter, director of industrial relations Thursday, received a warning issued by the federal form director at Kerrsville City who's him to discourage unemployed Ohioans from flocking to western states with a hope of recurring work in the harvest fields. The harvest, because of the extremely hot weather began 19 days earlier than usual this year, the federal advises indicated and a sufficient amount of farm help is available.

THE recent appointment of Prof E. E. Weaver of Oklahoma to be President of the Kansas State Volational College, located at Topeka is in accord with the present trend to divorce the school from politics and it is to be hoped that the appointment will serve as a factor to increase the prestige of the institution and make it of material benefit to the training of the Baptist students of Kansas. The Negro Star as official organ of the Kansas State Missionary Baptist Convention, extends congratulations to new President and assures him of its loyal interest and prayers for the success of his administration. THE National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress is now in full swing at the City Forum with all marks set to hold one of the greatest meetings in the history of the Congress. The high type of visitors present, together with the great intellectual forces at work for the promotion of Baptist ideas and ideals, is highly impressive and indeed indicative of the continued progress of the faith. Proper training as a necessary factor in Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Work, is being advanced as never before and with the progressive steps of the leaders of the organization in the advance of Dogma, tenets and theory of the work are all inspirations to the citizens of Wichita, and well worth the work of the local entertainment committee, which has for several months been engaged in efforts to make the 1925 meeting a success. THE World's greatest man is he who gamely battles to a finish and turns with a smile after defeat to congratulate a worthy victor. The world's poorest man is he who battles with a knife in the dark and feels that he is killing when he is only advancing well established plans of those who battle by the art of fair play, definite policies and a determination to put over the best interests of a people and church. THE Church, The Church, The Church and its ideals, rather than the sensation stirring of radical journalism, will accomplish more for the tangible interests of the race than any other agency now before the people for the consideration. The Church must assume a positive course in urging that the race give its support only to clean, honest racial papers, not devoted to a policy merely of increasing the financial and political influences of some editor filled with iders of self assumed leadership which has been put to the front merely by the force of his own established sheet. The race must be taught to look far above all radicalism, sensational front sheet editions and battle on in and with the program of Jesus Christ as the ultimate hope of racial salvation.
