CAMPAIGN Sunday was “Family Day” in thi Church Attendance Programme o! Metropolitan. Many families attend el and were seated in family groups until the spacious, beautiful audito rium was filled and the balcony crowded. It was a beautiful picture to see fathers and mothers leading the children to worship. . Rev, E. L. Harrison, former pastor Is conducting evangelistic services He delivered the sermon and sx Persons were converted and received ec candidates for baptism, It was ioy beyond compare to see these per- sons rise up from emid family groups and accept Jesua Christ. At the afternoon service there was another beautiful scene. Many fam- ihes remained to the Consecration rervice for children. Two mothers and fathers came forward and offer- od their children for consecration. Mrs, Jones and Mre, Eskridge God- Mothers in turn presented them to Jastor Bronson, after befitting ver- monette, while the choir sang: “Pre- dous Jewels;” Consecration prayer was offered and that part of the service closed with song: “I Am Thinc Thine O Lord.” Rev, Harrison then addressed the audience effectively on the “Regular Courch Attendance and Its Value to Family Purity.” Following‘the ad- dress, Pastor Bronson awarded pre- miums to families as follows:— ; Mr, and Mrs, Wm. Thomas for Inrgest family—9 children. Mz-Jesse Williams, the oldest per- son present, he being 80 years of age and active and regular in church at- sendance and support.

My next thrill wat Hatlem, truly a city within it- self, where the Negroes established themselves in a distinctive communi- ty; in this unity of communities known as N. ¥. C, I never dreamed so many Negroes could be seen on any one street In the world, as I saw on the streets of Harlem. I don’t see how the South can have anything on Harlem from the standpoint of den- sity of numbers. Harlem is just be- ginning to build in Negro Business and Industry which should parallel Chicago for development and p*hiuve. ment, Columbia University where I studied and, worked and experienced a cultural and refined atmosphere 'which knows not race, nor color, nor sect nor creed, Located at Morning- slide Heights, 116th and Broadway, with ite elegant buildings and sep- erate collegiate homes of higher ed ucation and specialized training in every branch of art, philosophy,’ aclence and technology; spreading over an area of 23 acres, with 1500 instructors directing the develop- ment of more than 29,000 students this school stands as the capstone of achievement in the field of institu- tional training.

On the outside, unger one of the South windows is a tablet in- scribed “Near this spot,in the pres- ence of George Washington, the Dec- laration of Independence was read to the American Army, July 9th, 1776.” The Governor's Room is a etate- ly apartment stretching along the front of the building, where scenes of the most noted social incidents In early history of the manicipahty were held. The old-fashioned fur- niture, including relics from a dig- nified past, preserve in this room the spirit of Colonial days.

Mrs Stone had an en- gagement with Mrs. Keeble for dinner together and to attend a lecture at the Lyon Building. At noon they had tuncheon together In the home and discussed charts which they were studying. Mrs, Stone left Mra. Kee- ble at one o'clock with the promise to retum for dinner, Mrs. Stone summoned friends who notified the husband Fritz Keeble, proprietor of the barber shop in the President The- atre building on Madison Street. Dr. C. E, Guthrie was called and he pronounced death caused from appo-~ plexy. Although Mrs, Keeble wore two diamond rings worth $500, they were gone when her body was found. A minute search by friends of every= thing in the house failed to reveal the rings. Two bruises on the right side of Mrs. Keeble's head caus:d suspicion that they might have been made by # blunt instrument in the hands of a robber.

Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (By REV P B FITZWATFIR UD, Dean Of Day and Evening Schools' Moody Bible Institute of Chloenge) (© 1926 Western Newspaper 'Union) Lesson for November 7 THE FALL OF JERICHO LESSON TEXT-John W. H. GOLDEN TEXT-This is the victory that overcometh the world even our faith. PRIMARY TOPIC—Joshua Leads His People to Victory JUNIOR TOPIC—The Victory of Jericho INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How God Helped Joshua YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Overcoming by Faith. Jericho was the key to the land of Caanan. A signal victory here would put the Israelites in control of the land. Failure here would mean irretrievable ruin. 1. Jericho Shut Up (vv. 1-5). The Caananites felt secure because Jericho was strongly fortified from the south. Approach to the city from the east was not thought of as the Jordan river was a barrier. The miraculous crossing of the Jordan by the Israelites and their surrounding the city of Jericho greatly alarmed the people—"Therefore none went out and none came in." 1. God's promise to Joshua (v. 2). "I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour." Because of this promise from the Lord their faith had a firm basis. 2. God's instructions (vv. 3-5). They were to encompass the city with seven priests bearing trumpets of rams' horns. The ark, a symbol of the Divine Presence, went before the people. They encompassed the city once a day for six days and on the seventh day they encompassed it seven times. When the last circuit was made the priests were to give a long blast of the trumpets and the people were to shout with a great shout and the walls of Jericho were to fall down II. The Obsidence of the People (vv. 8-10). They advanced according to the directions of their leader, for they were going forth according to the command of the Lord. To the natural eye the means employed were very inadequate, even foolish. If they had looked at the inadequacy of the means in themselves, they no doubt would have faltered, but they believed that He who had given the orders would fight for them, Joshua and his people set out at once to obey the divine directions. The people marched around the city every day for six days. This no doubt, was very trying to their faith. There was absolutely no connection between the means and the end. Perhaps as the days wore wearly away the whole affair became monotonous. Even at the end of the sixth day there was no change. Doubtless the people on the walls of the city used this unseemly behavior as an occasion of great merriment and ridicule. Even at the end of the sixth round on the seventh day there was no change. Yes, the seventh round brought no change until the very last moment. At the mighty shout, accompanied with the blowing of trumpets the walls came tumbling down. This is the way of all works accomplished by faith. At the time when every thing seems against us, faith holds on and wins the victory. III. The Fall of Jericho (vv. 17-20) At the end of the seventh day the seventh round having been made of the city, the long alliance was broken with a shout. As the walls crumbled down, the Israelites clambered over them, slaying men, women and children. They were not to spare anything save the gold, silver, brass and iron which were to be saved for the treasury of the Lord. However, Rahab and her household were saved according to the promise of the spies. This wonderful deliverance was calculated to inspire the people with courage and enthusiasm. They could now see how God could fight for them and deliver them from their enemies. Also, it would strike terror in the hearts of the Caananites. The blowing of the trumpets and shouting of that day with its great victory is typical of the greater day when larger victories shall be won by the Almighty for His people, and even greater consternation will be struck into the hearts of the enemies of God's people (I Thess. 4:10, 17). Let us learn of this whole lesson that spiritual victories are won upon principles and by means which are not sufficient in themselves. According to human wisdom it is utter foolishness (I Cor. 117-20). The Living Trees Living trees are always shedding something in order to produce more. The Bible Leads Judge the Bible by the influence that it has had upon the lives of men, and it wins first place with all other books trailing in the dust. The Christian A Christian, when he makes a good profession, should be sure to make his profession good.

CENTRAL brought to us a wonderful Missiora- Sermon, found, Acts 19.28; subject; "Danger in Following the Crowds." Some excuses in which majorities were wrong; which was very spiritual and food to our souls. St. Mary Church Notes Rev. J. E. Douglass, Pastor. We had splendid service throughout the day, with S.

At 11 o'clock service, the Mission Sisters had charge of program. Song: "Count On Me₁" Scripture, Theme for discussion, "Living For Christ in the Missionary Society—Living for Christ in District Missions." After devotion, Pastor took for his text, 2nd chapter of St. Luke, 42nd verse; words: "And when he was twelve years' old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast." The pastor preached a spiritual sermon. At 8 p. m., the Missionaries rendered a very spiritual Missionary program under the direction of Misses Mae Lett and Zelia Wheaton. The women all attired in white marched to the rostrum by the music of "When The Saints Go Marching In;" and seated themselves to face the audience. The many songs, duets, readings and papers were certainly interesting: all on and about Missions. The program was one long to be remembered. At 6 p. m., B. Y. P. U., opened on time; we had a splendid session. The Juniors had charge of the program, which was very good; they also won the banner for finance. At 8 p. m., after devotion, Rev. J. W. Johnson took for text, "A woman shall compass a man." He preached a powerful sermon. Invitation was extended, one came forward. Mt. Sinal Church will have a musical program, Thursday nite by the elderly members of our church of whom we are very proud; some having not been on program before in 50 years.

ADDEAL APPEAL All balances due the Association for 1925-1926 has been canceled, hoping you will make a great effort to keep up this, as we can not meet our obligations to the State and District Missionary Aid Pastors. Therefore it will be impossible for them to stay on their small fields of Labor. We are asking the churches and their 'Auxillaries, Ministers and Deacons to do their best to pay the amounts requested to pay according to the Association levy per Church and Auxiliary. Each Church shall be responsible for its Auxillaries. Each Minister and Deacon is asked to send un 25c each Quarter; or One Dollar per Year. By this means, only, is the Ministers and Deacons' Union supported and unless this appeal is met by about One Hundred per cent we can not assist our Missionary Pastors, and therefore the small fields will be void of the Gospel Service and Kingdom. Send all letters and moneys to me and be receipted for the same. Send to me at this address: Lewis N.

Church, Matt. 16:13;20. Rev 1-11. Other Scriptures; Matt. 4:1-21; 1st Cor. 14:31; Acts 2:47; Matt. 28:19; Acts 11;; Jno. 13:34; Rev. 22:18,19;Matt. 18; Eph. 5:27; Acts 6; Rev. 11:20. By Doctrine, we mean the principles or truths which form the basis of a system; by Christian Doctrine, therefore, is meant the truths forming the basis of our Christian religion; the ground of our Christian faith. For example, Gen. 1:1, "In the Beginning God." By Doctrinal Lesson, as it occurs now quarterly is meant those passages which deal with the fundamental principles and truths which underlie our Christian religion. We have a monthly opportunity through our quarterlies to study the doctrine of Christ. LESSON SETTING Our lesson is found in Matt., written between A. D. 39-70, in Cesarea, Phillippi in Palestine, situated at the foot of Mount Hermon about twenty miles North of the Sea of Galilee, the Northern limit of Christ's journey. The writer was Matthew the tax gatherer. He wrote for the Jews, Subjects preceding our lesson in the chapter are the Pharisees' asking a Sign From Christ. Jesus Warns the Disciples Against the Doctrines of the Pharisees and the Saduees; then comes our lesson today. The Disciples are learners and have been in school under Christ. Now is examination day. The first question: "Whom do men say that I, the Son of Man Am?" He is asking for public opinion. You observe. He acknowledges His humanity; calls himself the Son of Man. The second question: "Whom do ye say that I am?" They are being examined in the basic truths which they are to teach. Peter's answer: "Thou The Negro Star—For the good of the people art the Christ, the Son of the Living God." Here Peter acknowledges His Divine Sonship. Christ approves the answer; and upon the object of Peter's faith which was Christ, he is the possessor of the Church; and clared: "I will build my Church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it." In this declaration, it is shown, that Christ is the foundation of the Church; that Christ is the builder of the Church; that Christ is the preserver of the Church. The Church is builted upon Christ, by Christ, for Christ and is Christ. Hence, its duration, preservation, sanctification and finally glorification. The term Church, is used in this passage in a universal sense; in other passages in the New Testament it is used in a local sense. In the first sense, it refers to all true believers; in the latter sense, it refers to a local body of Saints. It is evident then, that there are those in the universal or invisible Church who are not members of any local church who are not members of the invisible Church. The Church as expressed in our passage is synonymous with the Kingdom of God, while the local Church is an imperfect expression of the invisible Church. The invisible Church has been in existence—it is reasonable to say, since the first application and acceptance of the atonement. While the local church expression of the invisible church—that is, the local church under Grace, seems to have had its origin around the Lake of Galilee when Christ called and selected His first disciples. The local church membership is composed of believers baptized, professing Christ and voluntarily uniting to publish and perpetuate the Gospel of Christ. The object of the Church, is to save lost, train the saved and enlist the Christians for service. Its law is Love; its constitution the New Testament; its authority is to govern and discipline members under Christ and its marching orders, "Go Forward." The character of the Church; it is a holy body, set aside for divine purposes and for purification, organization, co-operation and sanctification. Her officers are Ministers and Deacons. While they are not essential to the being of the Church, but to its well being. Certainly, we may have a Church without a pastor or deacon. It has pleased God however, in order to have more efficient and effective service to give us some prophets and some apostles for the perfection of the Saints. These officials should be Christians, full of the Holy Ghost and Wisdom. Acts 6th chapter. An organization whose ruling principal is the Holy Spirit, which has been begotten of God by His Word; and holding Christ as the standard of living, is the Gospel Church. QUESTIONS What is the Gospel Church? Do you believe in ultimate triumph of the Gospel? Is the Church growing better? Are you growing better in the church? What is the difference between a Visible and an Invisible Church? When, where and by whom was the first Local Church Organized under Grace? What are some of the first names by which the Church was called? What is the Duty of the Minister, Shepherd, Preacher and Pastor? What is the Duty of the Church to its officers? What gives a Church Power and Influence in a Community? How can we Have and Maintain a Spiritual Church? Our attempt to unfold the lesson and the list of questions given, we trust will shed more light and inspire Christian thinking in the great truths of God. That some degree of success may have been achieved, is our earnest prayer. Oh God, the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost; Thou that gives wisdom to those that ask in faith—It is through Thy Dear Son, we come to Thee; confessing our sins and conscious of our weakness. Forgive us our trespasses, and strengthen us for Thy service; enabling us to speak and write correctly and helpfully for Thee as Thou giveth us opportunity from the platform and from the press. Grant our request Oh-Thou Great Jehovah, for Jesus' sake—Amen. Humbly your servant. YOUR vi- he are ho ole in the cal oI ole is p- e- SUBSCRIPTION today.
