S. S. and D. Y. P. U. Congress of lyn, New York, which he is now at SERMON BY DR. P. D. SKINNER To his own congregation, Sunday Theme—"They that shall be qualified to enter the gates of heaven." Text: Rev. 22:14. "Blessed are they that do the commandments, that they may have a right to the Tree of Life and may enter through the gates into the city." PREFACE John, while on the Isle of Patmos, is permitted to see the great ultimate triumph of the Kingdom of God, and the speedy return of Christ to receive His own at the last day. And He hears the words of our text, describing the condition and character of those who will be entitled to the Tree of Life and permitted to enter into the city of God. The text declares that it will be only those who do the command, and because they shall enjoy these gracious privileges they are therefore said to be blessed, or in other words that they are said to be happy; and who would not be happy if given these rights and privileges, but let us consider— Whom shall they be? The text states that it shall be they only who do the commandments. No others need apply, because they will not be permitted to enter. Because they will not be qualified to enter. Throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, God has emphasized and placed the stamp of his approval upon obedience as being the most vital thing in the life and character of men. He has given us repeated example, illustrating that fact: Abraham, because he obeyed God, was given the great covenant promise which exalted him to be recognized in all the ages since, as the father of the faithful, and the friend of God. The obedience of Moees and Israel at the Red Sea, paved the way for them to cross over dry shod, and thus, to escape the hands of their enemies, who was in hot pursuit after them. Jericho fell in the hands of Israel, as an easy victory, when they had fully and completely obeyed. The divine order under the command of Joshua's lead. Whole chapters are written in the Old Testament, strongly emphasizing the importance of obedience. The words of our Savior is very forceful, and emphatic, when he declared that "Not every one that sayeth Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. But he that doeth the will of my Father which art in heaven." To Israel, and Judah, said, the Lord through the prophecy of Isa., that if they would be willing and obedient. That they should eat the good of the land, but if they rebelled and disobeyed, that they should be than by the sword. 11. The Lord has also clearly manifested his utter disapproval and contempt for his obedience; everywhere, in the Holy Scriptures, Moses was not permitted to enter the promise land, because he disobeyed the Divine order, and smited the rock, instead of stretching forth his rod and speaking to it. Samuel said to Saul, that obedience was better than sacrifice, and to bearken than the fat of rams. When he discovered that he had failed to carry out the Divine order in his attempt to destroy the Amalekites, and he was therefore rejected from being any longer King over Israel. BUT III. The disobedient cannot have a right to the Tree of Life, nor enter into the city of God, because unqualified to do so. This applies to church members the same as to the unsaved that have never claimed to have known Christ; being merely a church member will not be sufficient to qualify you, because the disobedient in the church as well as they that are out of the church are unbeliever, and no unbeliever will be qualified to enter into heaven. Unbelief is the one sin that damns the souls of men and that sends them to hell; a great many of our church people will be sadly disappointed in the judgment, because of their unbelief. The devil's big scheme is to persuade people to discredit the word of God, and to believe that the Lord is a joker, and that He does not mean all that He says, and if he succeeds in this then he can induce you to violate the Divine Law. This is the thing that he worked on mother Eve, and he he is working it successfully today on a great many churchmen here. They don't obey because they don't believe; again, secondly, they are not qualified, because they do not love God. The Saviour said, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." These don't keep them because they do not love God, nor Chr'it. John saith: He that saith that he loveth God and keep EUGENS FROM KANSAS B.Y.P.U. & S.S. STATE CONVENTIONS TOI EKA, KANSAS, June 15-18 The Kansas B. Y. U. Convention opened with song: "Revive Us Again," under the great Theme: "Reexpected and trained," the opening player was for a "Regenerated Membership" and closed with "Bless at the Tie." The Tledge, Object, Am, Motto and Watchword, were repeated and emphasized at the opening of every session. Bro. R. C. Campbell, Topoha, ably took cars of the subject: "How Committees It In and Function In a Model Union." At set periods of each session, phases of Regeneration were studied by sections, which was very effective. Special addresses were delivered by Levy, H. B. Bionson, J. W. Hayes, B. L. Marchant, P. D. Skinner and A. W. Ross. Edifying papers were read on various subjects of Regeneration, by Mrs. White, C. M. Johnson, Jas. Scott, Rev. J. R. Martin. Vital subjects pertaining to B. Y. P. U. Workers were well explained in papers by Mendames Carrie Anderson and P. H. Walton, bringing in light on the all important subjects. Every district showed sign of special preparation and outstanding in some features of the work when rendering their special program and in volunteer work. Every pep song and yell, brought thoughts of the Kingdom—especially do we mention the song: "When Baptists Begin To Tithe;" by Neosho. (The song will appear in a later issue.) Each section displayed its colors and church pride—Seeingly, Kaw and South-western led in the church pride and display. The "Raging Kaw" ran away with financial honors and activities because of its mighty power. The Holy Spirit wonderfully used Rev. H. D. Allon and Rev. L. V. Bolton in sermons. Especially do we mention the prepared sermon on "Evidence of Regeneration;" by Rev. Bolton. Miss Mattie Bradshaw, Secretary; Mrs Pauline Wilson, Treasurer, Mr. Dysart, Vice President, gave full cooperation which made the meeting a success. All officers were re-elected and are now looking for you in Maple Grove Church, Independence, Kansas, next year. Wonderful musical help was given by Mesdames Towles and Young at the piano; Mrs. Phynola Cook directed the singing, assisted by each sectional director. Many distinguished visitors and new members were present. Especially do we mention Rev. Hampton Colporter and Dr. Carter Supt. of Mission of the Pacific Coast. The officials of the State Convention and Women's Convention were present to not His commandments, is a liar and the truth is not in him. He is therefore qualified because he is not in possession of Divine Love. Again he cannot enter because he is unregenerated. Divine Love regenrates. John said:—"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and whosoever loveth is born of God and knoweth God." You are not qualified to enter because you are not born of God. No unregenerate person can enter the city of God. But once more the unbeliever is not qualified because he has built his hopes upon a sandy foundation; like the foolish man, and it will not stand the awful test in the judgment, but they will be as the foolish Virgins, who discovered when the approach of the Bride-groom was proclaimed at midnight that their lamps would not burn, but went out because that they had had no oil in their vessels with which to supply their lamps and hence, they could not join the procession, and this will happen with a great many in that great day. They will see the great things of the redeemed sweeping through the gates of pearl, but they will not be permitted to enter. (Eastern Negro News Agency) HILADELPHIA, PA., June 16—Throughout"the city groups are notibly rehearsing for the pageant "Lovalty's Gift" under the able direction of Dora Cole Norman, nationally known as one of the race's foremost actresses, having played leading roles in white companies. The gar playground, the property of the city, with its spacious "Fanny Cunninghilding is used by the hundreds, of men, women and children who are preparing for the great living picture of the race's development from King Solomon's reign to the present day. SAMUEL OLERIDGE TAYLOR'S "HIAWATHA" The foremost singers among the race augmented with a chorus of five hundred voices will greet the vast throng of music lovers on the stage of the auditorium which seats 15,000 people on October 11th. Mr. W. Franklin Heater with a corp of able assistants will present this wonderful musical spectacle aided by the massive pipe Organ, also by leading musicians of the country. This beautiful Indian Legend which was first produced at Henly, England on October 26th, 1899, tells the story of the North American Indian who believed that Hiawatha was sent among them to clear rivers, forests and fishing grounds and to teach them the art of peace. When the white man came, Hiawatha then knew that the time of his departure was at hand when he must go to the kingdom of Poneirah, the land of the Hereafter. The Cantata is written in three chapters and is one of the author's most famous productions. WOMAN'S COMMITTEE The many units comprising this adjunct to Negro Activities under the direction of Mrs. S. W. Layten, covers branches along all lines of endeavor.

INTERNATIONAL The professional men of the city are making extensive preparations to receive and entertain the dentists who will meet here August 23rd to 27th inclusive. FLAG DAY. Flag Day was fittingly celebrated here Monday, June 14th. Three hundred thousand visitors, with the Governors of the Thirteen Original States and their National guards presented a most colorful display. The Colonial dames and Continental Braves, were present to demonstrate what had been done 150 years ago. Uniforms of various types and colors made a picture long to be remembered. help put over a great program. In a systematical way, the B. Y. P. U. praised $477.39; with many praises for Calvary Baptist Church, its efficient Pastor and the good people of Topeka, the Convention closed to go into the State S. S. Convention. STATE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION. The Devotional services were conducted by Southeastern and North-eastern District Messengers, very effectively. President II. I. Monroc, called the meeting to order and after some very appropriate remarks; presented Rev. J. W. Hayca to discuss the theme, "Christian Faith!" "How to Use The Bible." He did justice to the occasion. Bro. Wilson, Supt. of the S. S., extended the Welcome Address with much added information and Bro. N. F. Johnson accepted it in behalf of the Conventions, with befitting words. Bro. S. A. Willjams was absent and Rev. A. L. Gardner preached a very helpful Educational Sermon. I'n the absence of Rev. J. W.

(Hampton Institute News Service) HAMPTON, VA. June 25 - A Pag- cant In which ten nations in native coatare will be represented is to be a part of the program at Roanoke, June 29th to July 2nd, when the Virginia State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of which Mrs. Janie Porter Barrett is President, meets for its nineteenth annual con- cention. This organization has been co- con- guring with State and community agencies, for almost two decades in its work of social development, and has to its credit such worthwhile acco- mplishments as the establishing of the Virginia Industrial School at Peake. Great interest centers around the meeting this year because of the active part being taken by the Junior members of the Federation of July 1st. They are to present the pageant "Good Will, the Magician." Floats for the parade are being planned by the heads of each of the ten departments under which the Federation carries on its work. Junior members in different parts of the State and school children of Roanoke have been making paper flowers since early spring with which to decorate floats. This example of co-operation indicates the enthusiasm for the work already developed in the Virginia club women of the future, and is putting into action what the Federation has always stood for. The exhibit will be exceptionally fine this year. The State Board of Health is lending posters to illustrate the work of each department will at noon each day hold a demonstration appropriate to the hour. The "Open Forum" to be held on Thursday night with the topic Health for discussion will be led by doctors and nurses, and anyone will be permitted to ask questions. Religious Training and Recreation, under the leadership of authorities in these two fields, will also be discussed at this time. On Friday night the Convention wall hear Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington, B. C., the first president of the National Association of Colored Women, who is now the honorary president. Mrs. Terrell is a graduate of Oberlin College, has traveled widely and is a speaker of charm and eloquence. The meetings with the exception of the sessions of the Executive Board are open to the public. Pray." His reasoning was logical and spiritual. Mrs. Mue Buckner conducted the departmental work, whereal problems and solutions were brought up and solved. One of the most helpful parts of the services. The papers by Mrs. Lillie Wilson and Mrs. Grace Brown were well prepared and well rendered, giving much light on Sunday School Work. President Monroe's Annual Address, was as usual, full of information with full direction of the course which he thinks is most expedient to follow. Rev. B. L. Marchant preached one of the most practical and far reaching sermons in the Convention. Also Rev. M. T. Waters scored a real victory for the Kingdom, with a great sermon. Prof. W. E. Gray discussed: "How The Work of My Snday School Is Organized;" giving information for every S. S. Worker. The Crudle-Roll demonstration by Mrs. Isabelle Walker can't be beat. Solos all through both meetings were fine. Especially do we mention Miss Brandon of New Hope, Wichita, Band Master, Markham, Calvary, Topcka; because they were the youngest soloists during the session. Rev. Hampton of California, preached the closing sermon, to the edification of every soul. We've never been entertained better than we were Fri. night by the Literary Program conducted by Mrs. Jewel Brown, bringing forth the best talent Five Cents Per Copy FISK PRESIDENT WELL RECEIVED Dr. Thomas Elsa Jones Makes Fine Impression During Commencement Season. NASHVILLE, June 12—According to those in close touch with affairs at Fisk University, Dr. Thomas Elsa Jones, the newly elected President of the institution, received a most cordial welcome from the students, alumni, faculty and friends. The Alumni Association passed the following resolution, endorsing the president: "The Fisk Alumni Association goes on record as welcoming to Fisk the new president, Dr. Thomas Elsa Jones, and as extending him sincere and constructive support." On several occasions, Dr. Jones made informal talks. At the Anniversary celebration of the Alumni Association he said: "One cannot refrain from expressing deep appreciation for the coronal welcome that has come in these two days that I have been among you. I first felt this welcome in a little conference which I had in International House in New York, in talking to Dr. DuBois. We had a long talk before Christmas. I felt it again in meeting in a conference, Dr. Alexander, Dr. Proctor, and Dr. Boutte. I felt it again when I met the Fisk Club in New York in February, and still again in Chicago. All of our visits with Fisk Clubs have increased this appreciation and now the climax of it all has been these two days here. I need not tell you that any doubts that I may have had as to the advisability of becoming a Fiskite have been removed. You do not know me yet, but you are making me believe that you are taking me on faith. You will know me a little better a year from now. All that I am is here. All the experience that God has given me, I lay at the foot-stool of Fisk which I love with my whole heart." The enthusiasm and hope shown by all concerning the present and future of Fisk were very manifest. That Dr. Jones was favorably impressed with the school and looked forward with much confidence to the future is revealed by the following remarks which he made at the commencement exercises while introducing Dr. Chaffee, the commencement speaker: "Commencement exercises of Fisk University are exercises of victory and triumph. No one is overcome by difficulties until he thinks he is overcome. The greatest argument for the future success of Fisk University is that we have overcome, we have triumphed, that there is ahead of us great hope. For the past number of months I have been trying to penetrate underneath my general feelings and other people's feelings regarding the situation to see by careful analysis and cold intellect the actual factors entering into the future development of the University. Without setting forth these arguments point by point, but trying to live them out in the months to come, let me say that there isn't any question but that Fisk will take the high place that is desired for the institution in the hopes, wishes, and dreams of the Alumni, Student Body, Faculty, and friends. I have consecrated myself to the task." In the State Conventions and Topeka. When the scene of much information and spiritual development had passed, the Convention had raised $715.40. Like the B.Y.P. U.Convention, many-were the distinguished visitors and new messengers present. Both Conventions went on record to support Rev. O.C. Maxwell for the next President of the Congress. Thus passed into history a great Convention to meet at Maple Grove Church, Independence, Kansas, Rev. C. Teal, Pastor. SUMMER SCHOOL Opens at Kansas Vocational College, July 6-16 '26 Topka. Kansas. The workers are urged to be there for the opening. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School Lesson (By REV, P, B FITZWATER, DD, Dean of Day and Evening Schools, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (©, 1926 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for June 27 REVIEW! WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED FROM THE BOOK OF GENESIS GOLDEN TEXT—We know that all things work together for good in them that love God, who are the called according to his purpose—Iom 8 28 PRIMARY TOPIC—Favorite Stories From Genesis JUNIOR TOPIC—Stories of the Pastiarchs INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Favorite Characters in Genesis YOUNG PEOPLISH AND ADULT TOPIC—Permanent Messages of the Book of Genesis. The method of review must always be determined by the department of the Sunday school and by the teacher's preferences. For the young people and adults, perhaps the best method will be to assign the task of finding the most important teaching of each lesson. The following is suggestive of the method of review recommended Lesson for April 11—God created all things. The things which are come to be by the creative act of a personal God. God created man in Ilius likeness and image, which means that man bears God's likeness morally and intellectually. Lesson for April 18—The explanation of the Ilius and sorrows of the world can only be made on the basis of the historical fall of man as recorded in the Bible. The prime actor in this tragedy was the personal, running, malicious being called the Devil. Because man is a free being, possessing the power of contrary choice, an entered through man's belief of the Devil instead of God. Lesson for April 25—Because the human race is an organism, Caln and Abel through the law of heredity came into the world with sinful nuatures. God taught them that the way of approach unto Illum was through a bloody sacrifice, typifying the supreme sacrifice made by Jesus Christ on Calvary. Abel believed God, took his place as a sinner and presented his offer accordingly. Caln in proud self will brought the fruit of the ground thus ignoring God's appointed way of approach unto Illum. Caln's offering therefore was rejected because he did not recognize himself as a sinner and come to God in the way which God had appointed. Lesson for May 2—Noah, coming forth from the ark, faced the responsibility of repopulating the new world. In recognition of that obligation and out of gratitude for God's grace in saving himself and family he erected an altar and worshiped before the Lord. God responded and entered into covenant relationship with him. Lesson for May 9—Lotus's selfish choice involved him in trouble. Abraham, because of his separation from Sodom and unto God, was able to go against a mighty king and rescue him unfortunate nephew. Lesson for May 16—God manifested Himself visibly to Abraham in the form of an angel. This angel was none other than the Son of God Abraham thus met Jesus Christ. Christ no doubt referred to this when He said, "Abraham saw my day and was glad." Lesson for May 23—Isaac, a child of the covenant given in the old age of his parents, was a gentle angel peace loving man. He suffered wren rather than strive with his enemies. Lesson for May 30—Jacob was chosen of God. Because of this God was with him. God will keep, protect and prosper His elect ones even in spite of their weakness and failure. Lesson for June 6—Isaiah because of living under the sway of his appetite sold his birthright for a mess of potage. He afterward repented and sought to undo his desir. Though sincerely regretting his not, it was impossible to change conditions. Our acts and choices are irreversible. Lesson for June 13—Joseph was peculiarly beloved by his father. Because of this Jacob unwisely expressed favoritism. This favoritism incited the jealousy of his brothers, who at the opportune time sold him as a slave to merchantmen going down to Egypt. Because of the false accusation of a wicked woman he was imprisoned. Lesson for June 20—Because of Joseph's fidelity God rubbed him to a position of honor and power in Egypt. While in this position he made provision against an awful famine which came upon the hand and became a means of saving from starvation not only the Egyptians, but his brethren who came down from Damn. Though they had wronged him he graciously forgave them and provided for them in their need. Neglecting Christ Men who neglect Christ, and to win heaven through moralities are like sailors at sea in a storm, who pull, some at the bowsprit, and some at the mainmast, but never touch the helm.—I W. Beecher. Worth Thinking About Have you any compelling purpose in life? Is that purpose God's purpose for you? Are you co operating with God in the carrying out of his purpose?—James F. Riggs. S. S. 9:45; "Subject: "Judah's Flea;" taught by Ruth Wheaton and reviewed by Pastor Thomas, was interesting. 11:15 morning service: 3rd Sunday, led by W. II. & F. M. Ladies.

Patronize them. Mr. Wm. Bryant was a business visitor in Mildred Kansas, last week, attending the Security Insurance. One of the prettiest affairs of the week was a kitchen shower party given on Miss Roberta Clay, Sunday afternoon, whose wedding took place Monday at 12 o'clock, to Mr. William Lates, undertaker, of Pittsburg. the house was decorated with flowers and on the center table stood two dolls representing the bride and groom; one of the main features was the mock wedding by Misses Nannie Roberson and Alma Reddin, acting as bride and groom; Bertha Roberson as the Minister and the finding of who would be the next to follow suit of Roberta, in the crowd, ended in being a race between Misses Marie Clay and Zelia Wheaton. The remainder of the afternoon was spent in singing and joking; at a very late hour Misses Nannie and Bertha Roberson, hostesses, served fruit salad and cake. Those present were Misses Nannie, Bertha, Nellie Roberson, Tessie Wheaton, Zelia Wheaton, Marie Clay, Cassie Hill, Viama Thompson of Independence; Alma Reddin, Mrs. Ruth Wheaton, Louise Dixon, Florence Wheaton, Rose Green, Janie Bigant, Maggie Landis, Miss Roberta Clay.

There was a large attendance at all the services throughout the day. It was a great spiritual uplift. At 11 a. m., Rev. McPherson, the Evangelist who has been conducting revival meetings during the week, delivered a great message of truth, filled with power and the spirit that deeply impressed his hearers. The text was from 1st Tim. 3:16. Theme, "Great is the Mystery of Godliness." Rev. McPherson preached again in the afternoon at 3 p. m., and at evening. 8p. m., Rt. Rev. Bishop Carey was present and the large assembly accorded him a most cordial greeting to which he responded in a short talk of his heart-felt appreciation and the Christian spirit manifested. There was a good meeting of the A. C. E. League at 6:30 p. m. The session of our Bible School at 9:45 a. m., was good in attendance, and interest. The lesson study was reviewed by Miss Marle Brown, teacher of the Young Men's Bible Class. The revival meetings held during the week continues to increase in interest and attendance. Rev. Dr. J. Gordan McPherson, Evangelist, and Rev. E. R. Robinson, the Gospel Singer, are a great power for the spiritual uplift in the church and community. S With less than two months remaining before the primary election, Aug. 9 candidates for various offices are beginning to engage in active camgining to engage in active campaigns. Among them is William J. Wort, candidates for the Republican nomination for county attorney. Mr. Wertz, in opening his campaign, has gone on record as an exponent of strict and impartial enforcement of all criminal laws, and has plodged himself, if elected, to administer the affairs of the county attorney's office in as economical a manner as is consistent with proper law enforcement. In this connection, Mr. Wertz has expressed the opinion the strict enforcement of one law is as equally important as any other law so long as it remains on the statue books of the state. In speaking of his'stand for economy, Mr. Wertz declared he would stand for a more strict investigation into the merits of each complaint before issuing a warrant or beginning criminal proceedings. Such a procedure, he pointed out, would save taxpayers of Sedgwick county large sums of money each year, as in the past hundreds of criminal actions have been started only to be dismissed later when it was discover the evidence did not warrant a prosecution. Mr. Wertz has been a resident of Wichita, and Sedgwick county 22 years; is a graduate of the Wichita, High School and of the University of Kansas, and has been associated with the firm of Adams and Adams for eight years or more in the active practice of law. He is a member of the Masonic, Odd Fellows and Elks lodges; an active worker in St. Paul's Lutheran church and in addition is a member of the American Legion and holds the office of Judge Advocate in the Kansas state organization of Veterans of Foreign Wars.

During a recent great drouth, North Carolina industries which were dependent upon a hydro - electric system, were faced with a shortage of power, because the water - courses which generated the power were running dry. In this emergency, the following striking arrangement took place: The Southern Power Company, in South Carolina, agreed to transmit a stated amount of energy to the North Carolina company. The South Carolina company did not have the requisite surplus, but it obtained from the Georgia Railway and Power Company the equivalent of the power which it passed on to the North Carolina company. In turn the Georgia company received from the Alabama Power Company the equivalent of energy passed on to the South Carolina company. Thus, in effect, the great in dustries of North Carolina were What is being done in the Caro in Kansas, is being done by the Kansas Gas and "At You THIS PAPER FOR THE BEST RES What is being done in the Carol in Kansas, is being done by the emnsas Gas and "At You ER FOR THE BEST RES What is being done in the Carolinas, in Georgia, in Alabama, and in Kansas, is being done by the electric industry all over the nation.
