Another year of \cnuous Laver has passed Into his. tory, and as we stand upon the Uhreshold of another pastoral ycar Wu ate moved, not only to exclaim with the prophet. The Lord ha: wone great things for us, whereof we are glad, but from the depths of our hearts we sing aloud with the Poet, “And Are We Yet Alive and See Each Other's ‘Face?' Glory and Praise to Jesus Gave, For His Re- deeming Grace.” Many are thé vicissitudes through which we have been called to pass durmg the pastoral ycar just ended. Some who started with us grew weary and took refuge in the the shade of indolence; some were caught in the snare of indifference and lured into folly; some answcreced the f.nal summons of the Almighty God and went home to give account for their stewardship, while otaeis entered tas fight with ‘apparent determination to push the battle to the gate. The last named are the ones upon whose shoulders the buidens of the work have rested through the long weary months of the past year. ‘lhey ac- cepted the hardships of tae way as opportumties to display their valor, and they now come up with colors flying, keeping step as they march to the tune of “Fight Cn My Soul "Till Death, Shall Bring Thee To Thy Goa,” The brief Intervals of gloom that oveishadowed us from time to time, has never daunted our courage, but has served to make us more fully ap- preciate the triumph of victory. At this period of history we are charged with the responsibilty of mepping out a workable prugram, and when this is done, the burden of execution rests upon the followers. T have sat and Jistened through the past week, to a program made and executed without my dictation, sug- gestion or assistance, and from your, various expressions, J am entitled to infer that jou are both proud of your accomplishments and pleased | with the type of leadership that has been given you during the past 12 months. If you have played the part} of a hypocrit and spoke of the things that were contrary to your own in-| ward feelings, you must bear the blame. If on the othey hand, youl have given your attitude and inward} feelings, we are entering upon a new era that shall be evidenced in accom- plishments unequaled by the history of the past, The day of small things, little men and meager accomplishments have been relegated to the back-ground, and an age of big men and noble achievements have been ushered in upon us. Banks, railroads and other great commercial institutions are merging their resources and pooling their interests for greater accom- plishments through co-operative ef- fort, “The Church is a heaven born institution and cannot accept the as- sociation of worldly institutions at the cost and sacrifice of heavenly principles, But her field of opera- tion Is in the world, and she must catch the spirit of the age and look the world in the face from the oppo- site side of the hill of progress, She must prove to the world that she is able to pull herself out of the old ruts and keep step fo the music of progress in this modern age. .John the Baptist was the “Voice” spoken of by the prophets, and with a voice he accomplished a great mission, But his mission was both simple and singular, He was simply the con- necting Unk between the Christian Era and the age of prophecy; and since the Messiah was soon to follow In person and verify the truth of his sssertions, a mere voice was sufficient o declare the passing of an old order ind the ushering in of the New. It should be remembered however, that rom the lips of that old sage, not wile mnie a wenn shen.

PREFACE In he preceding verses, Paul indi cotes the kind of Gospel that he d livered to his church and people, aad wl +t “t had done for then, The Basle principles of which Coe. pel, was the ceath, the burial’ and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, these are the saliant facts of the Gospel and they are the truths that must be accepted by every one in order to be truly saved. These facts, Paul declares, that he substantlated by the Hely Scriptuics. Fvidently the prophetic Scriptures of the Cld Testament, He furtier states that he pointed out to them, the tcstl- mony of those who enjoyed the priv- Hege of seeing Christ at frequent In- tervals, and who did commune with Him during His forty days’ stay on earth, after He had risen from the dead, And hence, that there could therfore be no question of doubt abvut the well authenticated fact of Is resurrection. He stayed on earta long enovgh to thoroughly and fully establish that truth, In fact, he said that he saw Him, thimeelf after the resurrection; be- cause he declared that He did ac- tually appear unto him, as one born out of due time; Paul evidently sig- nifies that he did not see Him during the forty days that he remained upon the earth, after His resurrection. But it was after Ilis ascension and because of that fact he states that, He was as one born out of due time, and that because of this fact, and the further fact that he persecuted the church of God that he was not wor- thy or meat to be called an apostle, Paul could never forgive himself for, having been guilty of that great wickedness of persecuting the church , ef God; Nevertheless he declares “That by the Grace of God, I am what I am.” I Tim, What is meant by the term, The Grace of God; Grace means favor, as for instance, one says, I found Grace in His sight; by that he would evidently imply that he had accom- modated or did him a favor, Hence, then the Grace of God means, Divine favor. Every blessing that we enjoy, ev- ry blessing that has ever come to us physical, mental, spiritual or other- vise, are expressions and manifesta- ions of Divine Grace, Life, health, strength, knowledge, food, raiment, the whole scheme of redemption, and he Divine plan of salvation, are the fuller expressions of Divine Grace. Divine Grace is wholly unmerited sy us. God does not seek nor de- mand any merit on our part. We are therefore, the unworthy recipi- nts of His indiscribable Grace, Now Paul says this Divine Grace had mage him what he was. Let us then onsider secondly what had this Di-# sage which none other but a John tha Baptist could deliver, We are living in an age that calls for more than a voice, In proportion as the people become able to differentiate between the character of the two thev will leave the man with the voice and clamor for the man who has a living message and Is putting over a pro- gram for Jesus Christ. T beseech you—Let us turn our faces toward the future and togeth- exclaim with the prophet, “I count not myself to have apprehended, but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are bebind, and reach- ing forth unto those things which are before; I press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God In Christ Jesus.” I shall strive not to fall one whit behind the standard of service which IT have given you in the past and J ask thet you pray, not only that the Word might have free course, but that we may even eclipse our own record of the past and ac- complish even greater things for the Kingdom of our Lord. 4 Ns : : ny wy eo WAN ae meee] N Way ee ( A ven fess ES ‘ San f ioe « ae RY ey * og 4 ES s, § hes a — SEIN \ eRe * ‘ae bs wan \ ML = hee , \\ fj r \\ 2a we = (4 SS : Ky fowl —<—=—— F os iy obey 1 T vest Y.

No one ever doubt. ed tle fact of Paul's conversinn or : regeneration, Every act of his life aur the Lord appeared unto him ov hs way to Damascus; cleaily proved the fact that he was a changed maa, that he was a rew born creature fn Christ, Tiis is true of all of us, if we have been regencrated and thus becume to be new creatures in Christ, we must give Divine Grace end.t for it all. And we will because we raust all through our future life exhibit thie chanze in conduct in our habits and in our disposition thryuughout the rest of our days. 2—Divine Grace had made him a minister of the Gospel and a Mis- sionary to the Gentiles. For thia 1s what He told Paul when Ie appeared to him, namely, that He had appear- ed unto him for taat purpose, See Acts. 9:15; 26: 16, 17. What a wonderful demonstration of Divine Grace, lifted him at once from that of a vital perscutor of the Church of God, and promoted him to become the greatest ministre of the Gospel and the leading Mis- sionary to the Gentile Woild. If the Lord through Divine Grace makes choice of you for a specific work, you cannot get away from it. 3—Then again Divine Grace made him an apostle as well as a minister, by making him an eye witness of His resurrection, This was necessary in order to qualify for that office, He frequnetly referred to this in his Fpistles, 4—He also enabled him to accom- plish more for the extension of "is Kingdom than all of the apostles, but he gives credit to Divine Grace, working in him and through him, (This is a syynopsis, only) For five years, the Colored Com | munity has attempted to observe Na-| tional Negro Health, with rather], meagre results, However, last year | | Wichita was third inthe Nation Some communities spent several hun: | | dred dollars, but lacked the co-opera-y | tion that is becoming so very, man-| « ifest in this city, !

The following paper was delivered before the District Board Meeting of the Kaw Yalley Association March 4th, 1926, by Mrs, Herbert Mitchell, wife of Dean Mitchell, Central Baptist Theological Seml- nary, Topeka, and adopted by the Association as its sentiment in re- ward to the subject, Madam Presigent, Moderator and Co- Laborers:— Of tho when and where of the ore igan of music no one definitely knows, But we do know that somewhere and somehow in the dim dawn of history, and far back in the indefinite past, God vouchsafed to man, this, one of the richest of all His gifts, There sre those who maintain that the wind Instruments were suggested to primitive man by the sounds pro- duced by the blowing of the wind in reeds, The string instruments, they claim, were suggested by the vibrae tlons set up from the twang of the savage's bow string, While the drum instrument, they hold, had its origin in the sound given out by a hollow log when the savage while hunting, came across and accidentally or oth« erwise struck it, Now granting for the sake of argument that these theories are true, we still maintain that music is the gift of God, the ruler of all nature, After, and even before God finished and examined the objects of IJis creation and pronoun ced them all good, we are sure that music was included. Accordingly, “When the morning stars sang to- gether and all sons of God shouted for joy,” earth with her thousand voices praised Him too. Now, we clearly realize and readie ly, admit that as in the employment (Continued on page four) IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SundaySchool Lesson (Bp RBV P B FITZWATFR, DD, Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). © 1916, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for April 13 LESSON TEXT--Genesis 2 1-24. GOLDEN TEXT--For na in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made allure--1 Cor 13 22 PRIMARY TOPIC—Adam and Eve Disobey (Und JUNIOR TOPIC—The Result of Disobedience A look out upon the world proves that man is not what he should be. It is not reasonable to suppose that man is now what he was when he came from the hands of the Creator, much less an improvement. The only way of accounting for this is by the historic fall of man as given in the Bible. The introduction of sin is the only answer. 1. Man's Probation (vv. 1-5). 1. The place. It was the beautiful garden of Eden Man's environment was suited to his nature. The testing of the second Adam was quite in contrast. Instead of in the garden of Eden with a companion suited unto him, it was in the wilderness with the wild beasts. 2. The necessity. Adam was created with the possi bility of character, but not with char acter. This he could get only through testing. Alternative choice makes char acter possible. Free will is what made Adam a real man. Character is the resultant of choice. 3 The means. It was most simple—just one prohibition. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was forbidden. 4. The method. Satan, a personal malicious being appeared in the guise of a serpent. He did not appeal directly to the man. He chose to appeal to the woman through the serpent and through the woman to the man. a. He found the woman while alone. b. He instimated doubt into Live's mind as to God's Word and love Satan's method is the same today. He tries to get people to doubt God's Word and then to doubt His love. c. He appended to innocent appetite. He argued that there would be no harm in eating, but a great advantage d. Live gazed upon that which God had forbidden and lusted after that which God had prohibited. The steps in the fall seem to have been rapid. From doubling God's love He went to doubling His word from gazing upon and lusting after that which God had prohibited there was but a short step to indulgence. III. The Consequence of the Fall (v. 921). God's holy nature is such that when men sin, He all once manifests Himself on the scene. I. A disturbed relationship with God (v. 9). The introduction of sin marred man's familiar intercourse with the Almighty. Adam and Jesus not only bid from God's presence, but when summoned by Him they began to make excuse, and Adam even laid the blame on God. 2. The degradation of the serpent henceforth becoming the type of sin and Satan (v. 14; of Num. 21:9. John 8:14 and Rev. 12:9). Satan's doom was pronounced without trial. In the case of the man it was not so, showing that this was not Satan's first offense. 3. The undying enemy between the seed of woman and the seed of the serpent (v. 15). This bitter enemy has continued from that day to this. 4. The ultimate victory of the women's seed (v. 15). Satan harassed the woman's seed, but on the cross the final strike was made which crushed his head (John 12:31, Hab. 2:14, 1 John 3:8). This is the first glamour of the glorious gospel of Christ. 5. The judgment upon the woman (v. 10). This relates primarily to her as a wife and mother. 6. Man's new relationship to the earth (vv. 17-19). The earth was cursed on his account. Man must make an increased effort to exist. With his slobful nature, man would be in a bad state without the necessity of toll. 7. Death (v. 19). This includes spiritual and physical death. Sin brought all. 8 Expulsion from the garden (b. 24). Then man's nature was changed out from the beautiful garden he went. Being Content And we shall be made truly wise if we be made content; content, too, not only with what we can understand, but content with what we do not understand—the habit of mind which theologians call, and rightly, faith in God—Charles Kingsley. Personal Immortality Without a belief in personal immortality religion is like an arch resting on one pillar or like a bridge ending in an abyss. Nicodemus News. The 47th Anniversary of the 1st Baptist Church and the 2nd Anniversary of the Pastor, Rev. Jas. Moore, have become History to the people of Nicodemus; closing out the 47th year of the church and 2nd year of Pastor.

How to Create a Highcr Appreciation for Sacred Music in The B. Y. P. U. and enjoyment of all the rest of God’s good and perfect gifts, abuses and conuptions have crept In, this is also true In the use of music, At one time we see a dumb, dull and otherwise conin.on man suddenly transformed Into a prophet of the most high, sharing in visions of rap- ture and the plans and purposes and counsels of God and eharing with Him the salystion of men aad all Froduced by music, At another time, we see Lamech the great grandson of Enoch and the father of Jubal, the player of tho harp und organ, becoming the sec- ond murderer from this same cause, At one time we see the children of of Israck cchbrating their deliver- unce from Egyptian bondage by the singing and playing of music Ied by Miram and her thmbrel, A Lttle later wo ece these same people offending their God who had just delivered them, by singing and worshipping 3 qotden calf, At one time we see David by the employment of music, driving the evi spirits away and thereby refrishing Saul. At anoth- cr, we seo three Hebrew Children -eons'gned to the flames because they refvsed to bow down at the sound of the music and do woiship to the Imags that Nebuchadnezzar hed reared up. At one time we sec the angels of God heralding the advent of Ifis Son ‘by singing “Glory to God in the | higheet, peace on earth, and good will teward men.” At another time we ree a damsel dancing of the head of John the Baptist to the accompani- ment of music, At still another time we seg men called to worship by the use of muste, and taught the Father- hood of God and the Brotherhood of man, At ancther time we sce them hy the millions driven mad by the beatirg of the drum and the blowing of the horn, and shedding the blood of millons of their innocent broth- ers upon the battle field. And 60 we see that from almost time immemorial rusie has had a degrading influence as well as an el- evating effcct, and its uses have been destructive as well as constructive, Neverthitas, mugtcal apprec'ation we all must have. For as Shakes- peare said many years ago and sald correctly, “Man who has no music in his soul, nor fs not moved wits concords of sweet sounds, fs fit for tresson, strategems, and spo‘ls. The motions of his spirits are dull as right, And his affections dar'r w+ Cercbus. Let no such ran be trust- ea” Our subject euggests that in th’ B. Y, P. Us. 9 elsewhere Share he been « degeneration of Musical ap- preciation. The question as well as the subject with which we are now to deal, is “How to Create a Higher Appreciation for Sacred Musie in the B. Y, P. Us, Doubtless there are many Wass by which this end may be attalned, but to my mind, there are three, than which there are none better: Ist To take the examples given us ‘in the Bible for examination and study. = | 2nd That parents give thelr chil- dren a sacred musical education in the home. For it Is in the home that the foundation of the child’s life Is laid in Christianity as well as in other things. Srd That the B. ¥. P, Us. elect elect competent and consecrated per+ sons to have charge of the music, Now let us consider some of the possibilitles that might result from these suggestions. The first sugges- ton was To take the example given us in the Bible for examination and study. No one can atudy, the Bible _ Without being lifted and elevated to higher planes, This being true, then | if these examples were carefully and Interestingly arranged afd used in the training department of the B. ¥. P, Us, there is no doubt, on the part of any of us, that the members of thls crganization would be greatly | benefitted. Since this is a training school for joung Christians, we » should be able at any time to aclect from its ranks persons willing and rendy to render for the the Union sacred service along any of the lines of B, ¥, P. U., work. This will be ‘true, if we, as leaders, do our part. [if just the “Motto” “Training for Service” of the B. ¥?P, U. was car- ried out, there would never arise any criticlsm or disappointments result- irg from persons holding office in this organization. _ | ‘the second suggestion was, That parents give their children a sacred musical education in the home, After the early impressions have been stamped upon the mind of the child, it is utterly, impossible to erase them. Therefore, if the child was reared | uraer the sounds of sacred vibrations this would become a part of his life, and he would grow and expand in this sacred atmosphere reaching his highest attainments. It is nothing less than the duty of the‘parents to heep the walls of their home conse- crated with sacred music. In the end, they would reap a great harvest. Yor as in the days of David, music drove the evil spirits away, it willdo the same today. The Christan army ; has suffered a great plague among the ranks, and have lost many battles from the lack of sacred strains within its soldiers’ tents. The sad condition which exists before our eyes of the jazz and profanity of music ringing out in Christian homes, paralyzes the progress of Christian advancement, Parents who are supposed to be Chris- tians, in many homes, are permit+ ting their children and their neigh- bers’ children to abuse and desecrate ths this divine contribution. It is a refiection upon their Christian char- acter. If the B. ¥, P, U., selects its ' music leaders from homes where this sad fact is true, then the music in the services will not be what it should be, The organization should see to it that no such persons be elected. ‘The third suggestion would of it- self counteract this, which is, That the B, Y. P, U,, elect competent and consecrated persons to have charge of the music, In many Instances, in order to have competent organists, the sacrifice of consecration is made, Whenever this is true, it is better to take the latter, First, stress shoul! be placed upon consecration, comp*- | tency should have second place in te- tecting of officers for any Christiay socicty. A competent and consecra ed organist will not improvise when playing for the services of the Unio" For their training teaches them not to, But for the benefit of those who | do this, let us make the followin comparison: If ypu took a line from | Bryant's Thanatopsis, would the
