I shall be here all summer in an attempt to challenge each camp session with the spiritual songs of our forefathers. Yours for the cause, Jimmie Taylor, Senior Leader, Camp Wood. The Young People's Congress at the Brooklyn Meeting The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, which will be held in Brooklyn, N. Y., June 23-27, 1926, will be attended by a larger number of representatives from Sunday Schools and B. Y. P. U. Societies and other auxiliary organizations in the Baptist churches than have ever attended any previous session of this great body. A great many people are anxious to visit New York City, and to take observation of the splendid historic scenes of which they have read so often. A great many others desire to stop off at the Sequi-Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. These manifold attractions are the guarantee of a large delegation to the Congress. New York People Expectant We have not held a national gathering as far East as New York City since the National Baptist Convention met in Boston, Mass., in 1897. Because of that our brethren and friends in that section are very much delighted with the thought that we are going to hold the Congress in their midst. The whole of New York State and the greater portion of the New England and Eastern sections are planning to represent their Sunday Schools and B. Y. P. U. Societies, and contribute in every conceivable manner to the success of the Congress movement. Reduced Railroad Rates. The officials of all the railroads throughout the country have granted a reduced rate of One-Half Fares for the Round-Trip on the Identification Certificate Plan. These Certificates must be secured from the ConCongress headquarters and presented to the local ticket agent at the time tickets are purchased. Parties failing to procure and exhibit such Identification Certificates will be required to pay full fare both ways. Messengers are hereby instructed to order these Certificates within a reasonable length of time preceding the days on which tickets will be on sale. Work Of The Congress. The Congress faculty is composed of some of the best educated men and women in the country, who are also experts in their line of work. In addition, therefore, to the splendid work that will be done by them as teachers, opportunities will be given to messengers to apply the methods furnished them by these experts. Every phase of the work among Baptist young people will be discussed. Splendid attention will be given to the intellectual pursuits and cul- NEW VOICE TEACHER HERE Enroll at Once Study Voice -Study with a Specialist Study with Madame Gray at the C. T. C.

The Baptist of New York City and State have given assurance that everything possible will be done for the convenience and comfort of the Congress messengers. There will be splendid outings, pleasing attractions and entertainment on a large and varied scale. This is an opportunity to visit the largest city on the continent, and to become acquainted with its people and its ways. Be sure to improve it! Address the Congress headquarters for any information desired. E. W. D. ISAAC, Director General. Sunday School & B. Y. P. U. Conventions Change Place. From causes that we are not able to explain, we think it best to change the meeting place of the State Sunday School Conventions from Atchison, 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.
