HELM for member of the School Board, Monday, March 28, 1927. --- Vol. 20, No. 1, YOUR Board, M WICHITA KNOWS When the acid test is put up Wichita, the Christians and thinkin forces of Wichita, know what is best to do and they do not hesitate in doing. This was fairly demonstrated in maintaining the services people of this day; his smiles. h and shake, his profound reasonin man attires for the peace and harmony of race relations, and the development of a mighty people in the spirit of Jesus, are his natural causes. He is now serving the people of W'chita, as their General Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and Secretary of the Council of Churches; of her position is more than a common man's job, but he is willing and feels that he, with his splendid helpers, can do the almost impossible. We feel justly proud of the fact that he does remain with us, that we may continue receiving the blessing from his fertile brain and "Big Heart." COUNCIL OF CHURCHES HOLDS MEET For the first time in the history of the Council of Churches, it held its meeting at a Negro Church, which proved the true love and broad-heartiness of the Christian leaders, when on last Monday, March 21, 1927, it met with New Hope Baptist Church. In spite of the fact that many major things were on at a number of the biggest churches in the city, 70 odd were present, representing 23 churches and Christian organizations. Dr. F. E. Stauffer President of the Council and Pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, expressed words of praise to New Hope Baptist Church and members for the splendid entertainment. Three prayers opened the meeting made by Bros. Gebhardt, Eberhardt and Sister Welman. Plans for the Bible week, under Dr. Robinson, the hymn contest, holy week and school of missions, and time and places of each month meeting were given the workers. Rev. B. L. Marchant offered the closing prayer. Thus passed into history a very profitable meeting. New Hope must be congratulated for the splendid manner of serving the supper.

STATE BOARD HOLDS SESSION STATE BOARD HOLDS SESSION The 17th and 18th were instructive, constructive, and business days for the Kansas Baptist-State Convention Boards at Calvary Bantist Church, Topeka, Kans., Rev. W. W. Young, Pastor. The Theme, "Victory Thru Faith," was well discussed in the opening of each session by men or women who had given thought to the subject, so they were able to feed us with food divine. Many programs and plans were laid for a great harvest for the Kingdom this year. The work shows signs of progress from every phase. Every pastor and worker in the State is asked to count one in the new-day program, so watch for the appeals and requests from your leaders and strive to please the Master and you will certainly put the program over in WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Mar. 25, 1927.

Hamilton presented to the pastor a purse of $87.45 to assist him in making the first payment on a new Sedan Chevotlet Car 1927 Model, 5 Passenger; which was rolled out of the office Monday afternoon, and this makes it more convenient for him to do his pastoral work. Our members all seem well pleased with his services as pastor and are standing hard by him in the church work; he has effected many organizations in our church which is putting many people to work who have never done anything in the church before. He has been with us 2 months, about 40 accessions. Those on the sick list are: Mother Tomlin, Mrs. M. Tomlin, Mrs. Lucile Hamilton, and Brother Walls. Mrs. R. W.

The people tried to clap him back for something but like Shakespeare, he saw fit not to repeat, but he really made a speech. Mrs. Velma Patterson followed the address with one of her charming solos, which was enjoyed. Rev. Douglas the Pastor and his good wife, seem lost in the respects shown them by this Christian audience.

BITEWATER, DD, Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible "atlanta of Chicago" (2) 1937, Western Newspaper Duston) Lesson for March 27 REVIEW—STUDIES IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE GOLDEN TEXT—If ye love Me keep My commandments—John 14 18. PRIMARY TOPIC—What Jesus Wants Us to Do JUNIOR TOPIC—The Christian Way of Living INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—What It Means to Be a Christian. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Marks of a True Christian. The following methods of review are suggested: I. A Descriptive Essay Method. Each member of the class should be assigned to the task a week ahead of the preparation of an essay on the topics involved in the quarterly lessons, as for examples. What constitutes a true Christian. Following Christ. The prayer life of a Christian. The Christian life of his Bible. The home life of a Christian. Christianewardship. The Christian and the missionary obligation. II. The Question Review Method. The teacher will prepare a list of questions dealing with the various phases of the quarter's lessons. These will be written on slips, of paper and the members of the class will draw them. As examples of questions note the following! What does following Christ involve? What is the Christian's responsibility as to his Bible? What is the Christian's obligation as to stewardship? What are the duties of the members of the home? What is the Christian's obligation as to the evangelization of the world? What is the Christian's hope? Is Christ coming again? Will there be a resurrection of the body? III. The Summary Method. This method can always be used to good advantage with the advanced classes. The outstanding fact or facts should be grasped and the principal teaching of the quarter's lessons stated. Suggestions: Lesson for January 2. Jesus first calls men to be His disciples. He then calls them to have fellowship in His service. Those who receive this two fold call will walk, as he walked. Lesson for January 9. The one who really follows Christ shall be hated and opposed. Having fellowship with Christ, he will love his enemies, do good to those who hate him, bless them that curse him, pray for those which despairfully use him. Lesson for January 18. The Bible furnishes the Christian with full knowledge of God and man's obligation to Illust. The only way to be able to stand firm and true in the coming perilous times is to be thoroughly grounded in the knowledge of the Scriptures. Lesson for January 23. Jesus, though diving, resorted much to prayer. If he needed this fellowship, how much more do His followers need it. + Lesson for January 30. Followers of Jesus may expect temptations, but divine help is avail able for every need. Lesson for February 8. To every believer has been given certain talents such as gifts for service, knowledge, time, money, to be used for the honor of His Lord. A time of reckoning is coming at which reward will be given for fidelity, and judgment meted out for infidelity. Lesson for February 13. The home is the oldest and most important institution in the world. The most effective way of making strong and pure the church, society and the nation is to make the home Christian. Lesson for February 20. The subject of the kingdom is under solemn obligation to permeate society and let his light shine so that the heavenly father may be glorified. Lesson for February 27. Every believer has two natures—the flesh and the spirit. The only way to overcome the flesh is to be filled with the Spirit. Lesson for March 6. The Lord permitted persecution to fall upon the church to cause the disciples to be scattered in order for the widening of the testimony. Lesson for March 13. Christ has imposed upon every discipline the obligation of witnessing for Him to all the nations of the world. Lesson for March 20. The Christian's hope is the personal return of Jesus Christ to take him to His heavenly home. When Christ comes, the body of the believer who has fallen asleep will be resurrected and living believers will be caught up into glory with Christ. Harder to Do Right There never has been an age where it was not harder to do right than to do wrong, just as there has never been a time when it was not harder to swim upstream than down.—Lerald of Gospel Liberty. Let Your Light Shine A light under a bushel, besides being hid, will go out in a short time for want of air. Unless our lights shine for others, they will soon perish in ourselves.—Herald of Gospel Liberty. The Negro Star-For the good of the people B.Y.P.U.LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES 615 Wabash Ave., Wichita, Kansas. B. Y. P. U. LESSON, Sun. Mar. 21, Subject: "God's Image in Libony." Acts 8:26-38. The Image of God is evident in all men. The Ethiopian Eunuch was a man, therefore, the Ethiopian Eunuch was God's image. By Providence, he was of the Hametic stem. However, he was not God's image because he was slim. Ham, but because he was a man. The image of God is not in flesh and bone but in spirit and soul. 1:26,27. "And God said, Let us make man in our own image after our likeness; so God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him, male and female, created He them." But alas, the image has been broken. The sadest of stories. "In Adam all die." Since that time man has been struggling for peace, a passion to conform to His likeness and find rest to his soul, which will only be satisfied when it awakes in His likeness. Touching our subject may we observe: 1. Man was made in the image of God. 2. The image has been defaced (depraved.) 3. Christ came to restore the lost image. God is working with Christ, thronen who have the image restored, to restore the image in other mbn. In our text, Philip is the instrument through which and in which God works. "Arise and go toward the South." God's program of salvation is that those who have it (salvation) take it to those who have it not. Even in the desert and waste places, there are precious souls to save Philip met in the desert, an earnest seeker after truth, a high officer, a man of standing, but humble enough to worship, living up perhaps, as best he knew to his Imperfect idea of the true God. He doubtless had no real experience of the Redeemer's love. He read the Gospel of Esaias but did not catch the spirit of the prophet. Philip's three commands, the angel told Philip to go South, the spirit said to Philip, Go join the chariot, and the Eunuch desired that he would come and sit with him. From the text which the Eunuch was reading Philip prescribed to him; Christ. The Ethiopian believed the report, caught the spirit of his Master and asked, what doth hinder me to be baptized? The link between the state of sin and the state of grace is faith. The Eunuch exercised this faith, and ordered his coachman to stop the chariot, then, with the evangelist, into the water to be baptized. THOUGHTS: To attend church is a good habit even for the unsaved. Just to be in the company of the saved may mean one's salvation. When we go to church we should go to worship. We should read the Bible even if we do not understand. God has a teacher always available. The real scholar is the honest, earnest seeker after truth. Men are daily in the desert of sin, riding in the charlot of discontent, trying to find the trail that leads to the cross. Are we quite sure that we point to Calvary? Do we hear the spirit speaking to us saying, go near and join thyself to this charlot? VALLEY VIEW B. Y. P. U. CARROLLTON, MISS. Mar. 19—On the 2nd Sunday in March we held a 50c rally.

James Wilson Ottawa, Kansas Officers of the Smoky THE CHRISTIAN IDEA OF WEALTH The Christian idea of wealth is the subject I am writing about this week. I have written upon the subject of "Real Stewardship," "My Stewardship," "The Place and Part of Women in the Stewardship Program," and upon "The Stewardship of Loyalty." This subject, "The Christian Idea of Wealth," is the fifth article that I have written in the columns of this paper, all who read this paper, (and every baptist in the State should read it) by this time understand what my position is with reference to Money and the Church. What I shall say upon the Christian Idea of Wealth, will almost be outlined, not thoroughly discussed by me in this paper; but is simply for your reference. Moving the chunks the debris and whatever else may be in the way; first, wealth used for money, property, possessions, with distinction. Second, the relation of the Christian to the wealth is much larger than mere matter of giving covers earning, spending, saving, as well. In the third place, the interest of the church in promoting a right understanding of the subject is not primarily financial, but spiritual. (I) God could not finance kingdom enterprises without our help. (II) The Bible shows that God is greatly concerned that men shall give liberally to religious work. (III) God (and the Church) desire not so much the money as the character that is developed by giving. We learn from the great St. Paul who said, "We seek not yours but you." So this is an important subject. 1. We live in a world in which wealth is accorded a pre-eminent place 2. A Christian must sustain some relation to money. He must have wealth, more or less; to provide for his own living, to support dependants, to offer in worship, to have the means to help others. (Suppose the good Samaritan had had no wine, oil nor beast?) 3. Possession and administration of wealth broadens the Christian's sphere of influence; increase his ability to go about doing good. In the fourth place, Paul and Christ teach that money may be made to contribute tremendously to spiritual upbuilding of ourselves and others. Then Christ must come between you and money, or your money will come between you and Christ. It may help to give you my frail idea of foundations for studying this subject; first, certain fundamentals which apply to all men, Christians or not; (Three factors in creation of wealth you know that as well as I do and perhaps better.)

God— created raw materials, the individual, power to get wealth, now since He gives most, we think that He has the highest claim. The Christian stands in a more advanced relation to this matter. (1) He owes himself, and all he has, to Christ, the Redcener. (2) His life motive is gratitude and love toward Christ. (3) His life-purpose is to follow Him, to do His will, to be like Him. (4) His joy is to carry this life-motive and life-purpose into all experiences and relations of life. He will rejoice to place His wealth under this away. What, then, is Christ's will, example and teaching, concerning wealth? (1) His personal attitude was one of indifference. Other things were more important. "A man's like consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth," (2) Through His Apostle He taught, "The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." (3) Trusting in riches is practical atheism. "Ye cannot serve God and maman." (5) "The above are negatives. Christ gives us positive principles to live by. Among them are these: (a) "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart." (b) "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyselt." (c) "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel." (d) the Golden Rule. We must come to Christ's principles and then we must apply Christ's principles for He said: "I am the way the truth and the light." When it comes to making or earning wealth, God wants us to do nothing that will dishonor Him, or injure our neighbor. We should earn wealth in such a way that God will be honored and the Kingdom of God promoted for Christ, not self. Now, my opinion is that as to the saving of money, Christ didn't think very highly of saving,—dangerous. Note for an instance, the parable of the rich fool. He earned money honestly. He was thrifty, but Christ said: "Thou fool." All flesh says, "I my-my." The spending of money is followed by, "Do all to the Glory of God." Not in ways that will dishonor Him, not for that which injure your neighbor. Let me remind you in the spirit of authority and yet humbly, the starving, physically, mentally, spiritually must be remembered. Not niggardly. Not just more necessities for self. God isn't that kind of a Father. But we must make our money serve higher ends than style, show, self-indulgence. Christ taught that money might be so used as to purchase "true riches." To the giving of money. Giving not an easy task, may work harm; dishonor God. Worthy cause, but wrong spirit. "Thy money perish with thee." More money will never bring about the coming of the kingdom; never relieve the distresses of dine Bryant Hudson, 330 N. 2nd. St. Salina, Kansas EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBERS. Main Body Rev. J.

TIME AND PLACE OF MEETINGS of the Smoky Hill River Missionary Baptist District Association and its Auxiliary Conventions and the the world. Must give something more. How Christ would have us give:—Without ostentation. (Matt. 6:3;) Cheerfully (2nd Cor. 16:2;) Liberally, (Prov. 11:25;) Sacrificially (2nd Sam. 24:24;) Systematically and proportionately (1st Cor. 16:2;) Some Bible standards of giving:—A tenth (Gen. 28:20-22;) Tithes and offerings (Mal. 3.8-10;) As. God hath prospered (1st Cor. 16.2;) To their power and beyond (2nd Cor. 8:1;) Half of my goods (Luke 19:8;) All her living (Mark 12:41-44.) I have spent hours trying to get this matter before you in the way you find it and I am hoping that you may try to see it as I have seen it. I fully believe that those whom God told to go and teach all Nations, are greatly responsible for the world getting the word as God would have them know it. I have discovered a little fear at times. I have thought seriously of the young man from India in attendance at the convention at Helsingfors, Finland, he was a philosopher, and that's not bad but this West Indian took the breath for a moment from the lungs of the delegates, when he said, to them it seems impossible to be a Christian under the present world order, for he said, "In reasoning, I find that your churches are subsidized by corrupt rich men who violate the principles of the Christian faith; and he said that most ministers have not the nerve to preach against them, as to do so, would cost you your meal ticket." That is a challenge to the ministry, and a challenge to the Christian; it's yours, it's mine; it's ours; what shall we do with it? Now then, trusting that you, having read all five of the articles that I have written to you through The Negro Star, and that you will reserve them and think on them and pray through them and make up your mind to do them; so that God may not be hindered from blessing the world through you. I am your humble brother, J. E. DOUGLASS 1204 Cleveland Ave. Wichita, Kans. NOTICE! The Association of Colored Secretaries will meet in Chicago, May 24, 23, instead of Indianapolis.
