INFORMATION CONCERNING THE ATLANTA LIFE INSURANCE CALL M. 5286 MRS. ED. NEELY Special Representative for The Atlanta Life Insurance Co. --- MAN WITH INCOME FROM OIL LANDS STILL WORKS DALLAS, TEXAS, June 4- A man who disdains wealth, and has it, is working ten hours a day over a big restaurant range in this city, because he learned from his father to love hard work. His recreation is literature and his hobby is farming. While he swelters over a cook stove, properties he own, in Oklahoma, and Texas, are producing an income comparable to those of bankers and executives of huge corporations. Author and poet, farmer, stock raiser, chef and oil magnate are the professions and occupations of Wesley E. Lawrence, citizen extraordinary. Before he reached the age of 40, he had built up an estate of some $70,000 by the power of his hands and the activity of his brain. In the last 110 days a's income has been enhanced by receipts from oil royalties amounting to about $12,000. This spectacular rise in his earning capacity was largely due to the fore-sight and careless energy of his father, for whom he was named, who died two years ago at the age of 75, and partly due to the business sagacity of the Junior Lawrence. Six months ago he leased two lots inherited from his father to the Sinclair oil interests, and wells were bought in producing handsomely, since then Lawrence has been the recipient of some 600 letters inviting him to invest his money in all sorts of schemes. He throws them all in the wastebasket, seldom opening them. "I just want to live quietly at home with my family," said Lawrence. "I don't want to fly around, because you can fly so high, and when you fall, you fall hard." Lawrence has written a number of short stories and much philosophy, "The Unfinished Romance," "The Country God Forgot," "The Heart of Every Woman," "The Heart of a Hater," are among his novellettes. "I'm going to keep on working, just as long as I live," he said, "no matter if I have $10,000,000,000." BOOK LOVERS CLUB ENTERTAINS AT CAMP BID A WEE One of the most delightful picnics ever given in Wichita was the one given by the Book Lovers' Club Monday afternoon at Camp Bid-a-Wee eight miles northwest of the city, when the members of the club honored their husbands and a few other friends in this manner. The club with its friends met at the Mary B. Talbert Y. W. C. A., 818 N. Water Street and at 3 o'clock 63 including the members of the club left for the delightful spot, Camp Bid-a-Wee, which is most beautiful at this season. Aside from its natural scenery, the grounds have been enhanced by the planting of many flowers and trees, and the members of the club with their friends enjoyed looking over the buildings and the grounds of the camp; afterwhich many games were indulged, furnished by the amusement committee, with Miss Hattie Harper, Chair'm. The general committee, with Mrs. Homer Perry, Chair, looked after the comfort of the visitors and at 5 o'clock, tables were spread and each member opened her basket and placed on the table an abundance of fried chicken, sandwiches, potato salad, cakes, and assorted fruit; and the guests and members ate until their appetite had been fully satisfied. Afterwhich, the President Miss Edna Schweich, in a few well chosen words made the guests feel at home and introduced the new President, Mrs. Mattle Perry, who thanked those who had made it possible for the club to enjoy such a delightful outing.

Pastor Adams, of the Concord Baptist Church, is utilizing all the forces within his reach necessary to entertain the Congress on a large and satisfactory scale. He has just secured the RINK AUDIORIUM for the meeting place of the Congress. This is the place where Moody and Sanky held their great meetings; where Chapman and Alexander held their big revivals; it is indeed a historic spot. The soldiers from Long Island and Brooklyn, were assembled in this place for the Civil War. It is just ten minutes' walk from the great Plymouth Church, where the noted Henry Ward Beecher preached; it is only five minutes' walk from the spot where the great preacher, T DeWitt Talmage preached; it is just two blocks from the Brooklyn Navy Yard, one block from the Concord Baptist Church. Not only is the meeting place conveniently located, but it has sufficient space to accommodate, with their exhibits, all the Boards and Agencies of the National Baptist Convention. All messengers and visitors are urged to send a letter requesting housing accommodation at the earliest possible date. The Entertainment Committee stands ready to make assignments which will enable the delegates to go immediately from the rail road station to their stopping places. Among the splendid welcome addresses, that are to be delivered, is probably one from his Excellence, the Governor of New York State. The New York people are determined to out do all other cities in entertaining the messengers and visitors to the Congress. Serd in your name at once to the Chairman of the Entertainment Committee, Rev. Jas. B. Adams, 150 Adelphi St., Brooklyn, N. Y. E. W. D Issac, DIRECTOR GENERAL. (Preston News Service) FUNERAL SERVICES Were held on Tuesday afternoon for Mrs. Lucy McKinney of Chandler, Okla, who died on Saturday morning in Valley Center, in the home of her mother, Mrs. Hyla Clark.

Sunday School Lesson (By REV P B FIT?WATFR, DD, Dean of the P Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (© 1926, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for June 6 2 ESSON TEXT—Genesis 23 1:11. LESSON TEXT—Genesis 33 1-11. GOLDEN TITLE—Be he kind one to another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake bath forgiven you—Ephesus 4 22. PRIMARY TOPIC—Two Brothers Make Up a Quarrel JUNIOR TOPIC—Enau Forgives Jacob INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Brotherly Love and Forgiveness YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—A Lesson in Reconciliation. I. Their Birth (23:21-26). In answer to Isaac's prayer, seed was given unto him. Before the children were born God revealed unto Hebekah the fact that the elder should serve the younger. God reversed the ordinary law concerning the position of the elder son II. Esau Sells His Birthright (25: 27-30). 1. It was right that Jacob should have the birthright and the blessing, for it was according to God's plan which had been preannounced, but his scheme to get them is to be condemned. He took advantage of a brother's weakness to drive a sharp bargain. 2. Esau the profane (Heb. 12:10, 17). Many think that profanity is only swearing, but swearing is not the most common profanity. To be under the sway of appetite is to be a profane person. Eaua was a supreme example. He sold his birthright for a bowl of pottage. This birthright was the right of being at the head of the patriarchal family, a position of honor and influence, as well as being the inheritor of a double portion of the father's estate. This being a gift of titl, it should not be deplied. In the moment of his distress he thought only of that which would bring him some carnal satisfaction. He was willing to relinquish all claims on the future if only his present desire could be gratified. A profane person, therefore, is one who for the enjoyment of the present will forselt all claims upon the future. III. Jacob Secures the Blessing (Gen. 27). 1. Esau requested to get venison for his father (vv. 1-4). Isaac loved Esau because of his venison (Gen. 25:29). He ought to have loved him because he was his son. It is a sad commentary upon a father that his love for his son had such a sorrid burs as that of his stomach. 2. Hebekah's scheme (vv. 5-31). God had said to her that the elder should serve the younger. It was His plan that Jacob should be at the head, but God was able to bring His own plans to pass. 3. Esau's remorseful cry (IV, 31:36) When he came to realize that he had not only lost his birthright but the blessing, his conscience smoke him and he earnestly begged for a blessing even seeking it with bitter tears. IV. Jacob Meets Esau (Gen, 33:11). 1. As a result of Jacob's cunning and deceit he was obliged to flee from home to save his life. In spite of his selfishness and sin God appeared to him at Bethel. 2. Prayer for deliverance from Esau's wrath (32:9 12). He was about to meet his brother whom he had wronged some twenty years before. (1) He made his plea on the basis of God's command. Jacob came in line with the Abrahamic covenant so he had a right to plead that relationship. (2) He plead that he was in God's way. We should assure ourselves that we are going according to God's will, then make our pleas before Him on that ground. (3) He made a definite plea. He told God plainly of his danger. He said, "Deliver me from the hand of my brother." 3 The angel wrestles with Jacob (32:27-38). Observe that it was not Jacob wrestling with the angel, but the angel wrestling with Jacob. Jacob did not get the blessing because he wrestled but he was not blessed until he had been crippled and in his helplessness clung to God. 4. Jacob gets a new name (12:27-30). This experience at the ford of Jabbok wrought a mighty change in Jacob, "Jacob" with his coming and deceit was left behind and "Israel," "a prince with God," entered the land. V. Esau and Jacob Reconciled (33:1-11). At Jabbok Jacob got right with God, so now he easily got right with Esau. It is easy to get right with our brother after getting right with God. In a Trackless Wilderness He who sees no star can never be stable. He wonders valyly in a trackless wilderness.—G. H. Storrison. Ill Thoughts Leave a Trail An arrow may fly through the air and leave no trace; but an ill thought leaves a trial like a serpent. Tomorrow Tomorrow!—I dare not ask; I know not what is best. God hath already said what shall be done. . Coffeyville Notes. CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. S. A. Williams, Pastor. (Continued from last issue) Seek Him now while the blood runs warm in our veins, for the time will come when it will be too late. The Holy Spirit accompanied the message. 6:30 B. Y. P. U. Bro. Geo. Roberts, President. 8 o'clock Rev. Hunter delivered a strong message: "Be assured, your sins will find you out." Num. 30: 23. No man can escape from his sin, God, with an all-seeing eye; it is impossible to escape, but must pay the penalty. Sin has a tolling power. A smaller only leads to a larger. The alleged evils of today were indeed dealt a terrible blow by the speaker.—Keep your life in harmony with God. Calvary is now beginning a 10 days' drive.

Gospel Feast 10 days at Calvary conducted by Rev. Wm. Enyard, D. D, a noted and powerful evangelist, the man who stirred Topeka, causing hundreds to repent and believe the Gospel.

Enjard was introduced to the school; E. H. Briley, Supt. Il o'clock services by Evangelist Enward was very timely and appropriate as introductory sermon of the Gospel feast. Truly do we realize, he is a Gospel preacher with power. Text Matt. 16.24: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me. Subject: "The True Condition of Decipleship." True discipleship and what constitutes it was discussed in a wonderful way by the speaker, pointing out the necessity of denying self, which means the dethroning of self. 3 o'clock. Rev. Enyard again delivered a special Missionary Sermon under auspices of the Mission Circle. Text, Acts 3.6: "Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have, give I thee; In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." A sermon pointing out clearly our duty as Missionaries. 6.30 B. Y. P. U., Bro. Geo. Roberts, Rev. Wm. Thomas of Cherryvale, State Supervisor was with us in our meeting. 8 o'clock sermon by Rev. Enyard. Everyone should hear Rev. Enyard, a man accompanied by the spirit. Sacrificial Bible Study Period Sat. 3 to 4. It is great to have Bible much to us as a race and everything Study for studying God's word means to us as Christians learns us the great lesson of how to serve God, which cannot be done without serving our fellowman.

Conven- tions Change Place. — From causes that we are not able to explain, we think it best to change the meeting place of the State Sun- day School Conventions from Atchi- ton, to Topeka, June 15-18, 1926; to be held with Calvary Baptist Church, Rev, W. H. Young, Pastor, Don’t let this discourage you, but elect your messengers at once and prepare to come to Topeka, and help put over the greatest program In the history of the young Baptist of Kansas, Signed: H. T. SIMS, Pres. ——sHL TE, MONROE, Pres. "I would rather be a door-keeper in the house of the Lord, than to dwell in the tents of the wicked."—S THERE are people walking around in this world, dead, but they really don't know it. Dead men will not fit in live men's programs; they are offensive and will destroy other lives if they are allowed to come in touch with them. That is why the law requires their bodies to be burled after the doctor or the world counts them dead. Now the dorld has a way of labeling a dead man with breath in his body, but no reputation, influence nor character; it calls him "Old So-and-So," that means he is no good, only a piles of rubbish. When they see him coming, they begin to say, "Here comes Old So-and-So," we wonder what is up." He is dead, poor fellow and he doesn't know it. It is a pity this poor fellow can't be buried out of his misery; because it must be miserable to be a mis-fit on everything that comes up. He is a self-styled hero, but can't do one thing that will count for the blessing of the next generation. He is just a destructive force, waiting for the body to free the soul so it can get its just deserts. The only way to escape this awful state is to link up with Jesus who said, "I came that they might have life and have it more abundant. CITY ITEMS. Mrs. Thos.
