Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and staff they comfort me.” ' Now the Good Shepherd has thus brought help and cheer to us that we may give and pasa it on to others, He speaks to each ond all of us— “Freely ye have’ received, freely give.” Some one has said that the Christians are the channels through which the rivers of Christ's blessings flow, and that we should not retain all the blessings He pours into our channels for ourselves, but that we should like the rivers do at times, overflow our channels so that the whole earth may receive the bleas- {nga of Christ. “At the approaching season when’men overywhere- will - celebrate the event of God's greatest gift and good cheer or good will to men, Iam praying that tke Holy Spirit will put the heavenly inspira- tion and love in our hearts to over- flow our chanrels with tae blessings of God to the leas favored workers in our State and the world, ‘The call of the Missionary Pastor‘ of our great State Convention comes to us; please overflow and let some Uessings fall on me.

JOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Great Teaching of the Quarter. Three good methods may be used for this review. I. Assign to the members of the clauses a week ahead the task of pre- paring a description of the outstanding events of each lesson. The length of such descriptions will depend upon the number of pupils in the class and time allowed for the lesson. II. Assign to the pupils the outstanding personalities of the quarter the task of making an analysis of these characters, pointing out the strong and weak points thereof. The principal persons appearing in the quarter's lessons are Moses, Joshua, Caleb, Gideon, Ruth and Samuel Two pupils may be assigned to report on the same character, the one on the strong points and the other on the weak points. III. Ask the members of the class to bring a written report on each lesson, giving the principal fact and the leading lesson thereof. The following suggestions are offered: October 3. Moses sought the help of Hobub in guiding Israel through the wilderness. Though Hobub was a shrewd child of the desert, the Lord God was a better guide than he. Like Moses, we should acknowledge the leadership of the Lord, even though it may mean confession of our own failure. October 10. Through unbelief spies were sent to Canaan. The majority report was brought by the ten spies Joshua and Caleb recognized the diffulties equally with the ten, but he cause they had faith in God, counseled taking possession of the land October 17. Because of an act of disobedience Moses was deburred from entering the promised land. Though he had to suffer this loss, the Lord gave him a place in the very front rank of His prophets. October 24. Upon Moses' retirement and death, Joshua was appointed as a new leader of Israel. Though God's servants die, His work goes on because the Lord has always in readiness capable leaders. October 31. Six awful woes are polled out as coming upon those who indulge in wine. The only safe attitude toward the intoxicating cup is not to look at it, not to come into its way; total abstinence is enjoined upon all. November 7. Jericho, the key to the land of Canaan, fell prostrate through faith in God. Spiritual victories are won upon principles and by means which are utterly foolish in themselves. November 14. Because of Caleb's sterling character and his loyalty to God, he came into possession of the inheritance which God had chosen for him. November 21. In Joshua's forewel address he brought to the attention of Israel God's providential dealing with them and appealed to them to renew their covenant with his God. The people entered into a formal covenant at Shechem. In order to clinch this obligation Joshua wrote down their agreement in a book, and as a further help set up a large stone as a witness. November 28. Glideon's army was reduced to 300. All who were cowardly were permitted to withdraw Others unfit were likewise permitted to withdraw. A small company trusting God can win the victory over a mighty host. December 5. Ruth chose to be identified with the people of the Lord. Because of this choice she came into possession of the blessings of the true God and her name has become immortal. December 12. Because God gave to Hannah a son in answer to her prayer, she gave him up to service in the house of God. December 19. As Samuel in his old age was retiring from the place of judgeship in Israel, he challenged the people as to the integrity of his conduct among them. Everyone in public life should be ambitious to leave an untarnished record at the close of his career. Our Souls' Craving Our souls crave a perfect good; we feel the pull thitherward, we own the law that points in that direction.—William M. Salter. Measures Our Love What we are willing to do for Christ measures our love for Him.—Echoea. The Heavenly Life The heavenly life strives in the midst of trials.—Echoea. DECEMBER, 26, 1926. Missionary Lesson, Subject: "Missionary Map of the world. Mark 16, John 3:16: "God's love is the ground of redemptive plan, because God loved as only God could love. He was pleased to express his love by giving to the object of His Love, the world, (His enemy) the best He could give, His Son, for when we were yet sinners, we were reconciled to God by the death on the Cross. Thank God for the everlasting gift. Jesus appears to His church after His triumphal resurrection as it sat His triumphal resurrection as it sat at meat and what did He find? Unbelief and dullness of mind, slow to apprehend the truth of the Scriptures. They doubted the witnesses, notwithstanding, the promise (Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up again.) Humanly speaking Christ was disappointed at what He found. Where He should have found faith, He found doubt, where He should have found understanding He found misapprehension. So He upbraided or reproached the disciples, instructed and confirmed them. Now when the church was strengthened and could be trusted, it was given the Great Commission, the most precious gift, the Gospel of Christ. The church should keep it for all and still give it to all. The truth is, we keep it by giving it and give it by keeping it. The more we keep, the more we have to give and the more we give the more we have to keep. The true church is, God in the world, seeking to reconcile the world to Himself through His Son. He is working with and through His disciples to this end. "Go ye everywhere to everybody. Preach, proclaim Divine truth, persuavely, publish the good news and glad tidings." We best preach by being the highest exponent of the life and character of Jesus. Christ is bidding for the heart of humanity. He is the highest bidder, He offers most: Eternal Life. The conditions are, faith and obedience. His command is not for argument but for obedience. Unbelief is the dawning of sin, it truly means, no God. A ruling passion to obey is the greatest miracle. Certain signs follow implicit faith in God. There are always many evidences of a natural birth. Only one evidence is needed, however, (a living child) vital union with God is itself a miracle and the proper exercise of that union with God works miracles. It is said, "Such signs shall follow as casting out devils, speaking in other languages, handling serpents, raising the sick, and even drinking poison without hurt. Here we have promise of power and protection. "Go ye." (these signs to strengthen belief) followed the church in its foundation work and the power of God is no less evident today. In fact it is more pronounced, its manifestations, however, may be different. We are now erecting the edifice, the the church is now assured, ("will build my church.") External signs, as valuable as they are no not determine the life of God in the soul, but the life of God in the soul is the source of external signs. It is soul power the church must have. Golden Text explained. 1. The church is moving toward a better day. 2. The last day of the church will be the best day. 3. The church shall be permanently established. 4. The church will be universal in its outreach and influence. 5. The highest point in human society is the church. QUESTINONS:—What is the Great Commission? To whom given and by whom given and for whom? What is the promise to Missionaries? What is the sign or signs that we are doing this work? If each member were a Missionary, himself saved would our churches be empty and dives and prisons full? Is every body in your home a Christian- Is your next door neighbor saved? If you cannot go to the Foreign Fields you can, at least, go to Him. When you criticize the Missionary Society, are you offering and giving anything better? Are you doing your bit? We had better start at home. MY DEAR BRETHREN:— Greeting in the Lord:— You are aware that we have just closed our first quarterly board meeting at Great Bend. From an institutional and devotional viewpoint the meeting was especially helpful from a financial viewpoint our love apparently was cold. Many of our churches (because of the lack of interest which must be rendered through the pastor) did not report. We are asking, therefore, that each pastor who did not report at our meeting, collect and send in to Rev B. L. Marchant, our Secretary, 1009 N. Wabash, Wichita, Kansas, the amount due at this meeting, for which he will send receipt. Brethren, you have been honored with the high office, "The Angel of the Church;" God is trusting you. Can He trust you? Yours for a better District and truer stewardship, J. W. HAYES, Moderator. WICHITA'S BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL INDEX PHONE D. 669-R MRS.
