Boyd, was the chief feature of the meeting. Dr. Boyd stressed among other things; the importance of Colored people taking advantage of the franchise to the extent of voting and running for office in the communities. where their numbers warrant it, and where the local laws are not such as would prevent colored persons exercising their suffrage.

Atmore, the Secretary, showed an increase in the personel of the Convention over previous years. Rev. James Saunders was re-elected Corresponding Secretary and Rev. James Howard was chosen treasurer.

WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, July 22, 1927 CLOSING NOTES BAPTIST SEMINARY Closing Notes of the Annual Assembly of the Central Baptist Theological Seminary, which convened at Kansas Vocational School, July 5-15, Topeka, Kansas, fostered by the Baptist State Convention of Kansas, closed at noon Friday, the 15th, 1927. Peace, harmony and decorum prevailed. The Faculty of both schools combined to give perfect satisfaction to the student body; therefore we can but carry with us the good news, and sing praises wherever we go of these eminent educators. This great movement had its birth place in the brain of the late Dr. J. H. Van Leu, founder of the Central Baptist Theological Seminary, of whom it was declared by the Rev. Dr. W. A. Sharp, Instructor from the Baptist Theological Seminary (white) Five Cents Per Copy The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

Kansas City, Kansas, that he (Dr. J. H. Van Leu) was the point of contact between the two races, white and black. Thus the foundation was carefully laid, and the Baptist of Kansas have been building thereon ever since, until now it has reached such a stage in its development, until it is attracting students from all over the state. It is no longer a question in the mind of the thinkers, is it an Assembly worthwhile? But in truth we believe it to be a necessity, for ministers, and Christian Workers, Leaders engaged in the various activities of our denominational work should avail themselves of attending the Summer Assembly annually. It is the one place where Christian Education is the paramount issue. Dr. A. W. Ross, successor to the late Dr. Van Leu and Director of the Summer Assembly labored untimely for its success, throughout the Six Districts; he is a good mixer of all groups, thinks quickly; is constantly (continued on page four) (Continued on page four) D.

PRIMARY TOPIC—A Boy Overcomes a Giant. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Boy's Brave Dead INTERMEDIATE AND SUNIOR TOPIC—Why David Was Not Afraid TOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Victories of Faith. I. The Contending Armies (17:1-3) On the north side of the Valley of Elah, on the highlands, stood Saul and his army, and on the south side stood the Philistine hosts, cycling each other for battle. According to an ancient custom, the Philistines, having a warrior among them of great strength sought to decide the war by a combat between two selected champions. The nation whose champion was slain was to be subject unto the other. II. The Champions (17:4-37). 1. Gollath of the Phillistines. (n) He was a giant (v. 4), perhaps eleven and one half feet in height. The appearance of such a man greatly intimulated the Israelites. Saul, who once was brave, made no attempt or effort to meet this giant. (b) He was filled with proud conceit. His size, his pamphly of war, and his strength, caused him to be lieve that no evil could befall him. His conceit became his snore. (c) He was boastful. No doubt he was a much talked of man among the Phillistines. Their possession of such a man recalled the former experience of their nation when Samson, the Israelite giant, wrought such great mischief among them. (d) He was defiant. He openly defied the army of Israel—the people of the Most High. That is just like the champion of Satan's hosts now. He is becoming more and more defiant of the Lord's people, and ultimately will defy the Almighty Himself. (e) He was scornful. He treated the Israelites with the utmost contempt. This is what Satan is doing daily. He trents God's people with the utmost contempt. 2 David, the Isrneilite In the providence of God Dall I was sent to the camp at a time to hear the blatant hoisting of this proud and contemptible Liefee champion. He three eldest boys were in the army, and his first of him with some provisions for them as well as for the captain. The David was talking with the boys to Goddiah made his appearance in the sight of Israel's cowardice and lack of zeal for God prompted David to offer his services. Note the character of David. (a) A mere youth, a stripping not used to war. (b) He was courageous. When all Israel were afraid he undertook this task. Besides he had proven his bravery before in defending his flock against the lion and the bear. (c) He had a mighty faith in God. He argued that what God had done for him He would do again. (d) He had muckness and self-control. This he exhibited in a remarkable manner under the gibbs of Elijah (v. 28). (e) He was still ill. He had become such an expert in the use of the sling that he had absolute confidence in the issue of his attack. He was not a blind enthusiast who disregarded the use of means, but was careful to use means, and most periolar as to what they should be. He put inside the unrified armor of God he knew that God's will for him was to use by faith that which he had thought insignificant. This is God's will for us. III. The Battle (17. 39-18). When Gollath beheld David coming up against him, he cursed him by his gods—Dagon, Dane, and Astarte showing that it was not merely a battle between David and Gollath, but between true and false religion. David hasted and ran to meet Gollath. The stone from his sling smote Gollath in the forsend and he fell to the earth upon his face. David went forth in the name of the Lord of hosts—that all the earth might know that there was a God in Israel. The whole matter shows that the battle is not with the strong, but with those who put their trust in God. IV. The Victory (vv. 40.53) The Phillistine champion was killed and the army routed. This victory is a philiphecy of a greater one when the devil, the defiant enemy of God and man, shall be slain and his army put to flight. David is thus the type of Christ and Gollath a type of Satan. Gollath's sword was turned against himself and typified that Christ shall turn Satan's weapons against him for his own destruction. Trial of Your Faith That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perlesheth, though it be tried with fire might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ—I Peter 17. Souls That Surrender Souls that surrender to the Lord will have the witness of the Spirit given and they will know beyond one doubt whether or not they belong to the Lord.—Echoes.

For the past two years, Mrs. Dorothy Sims Bronson has been a valuable asset to the Music Department of the school; she possesses rare musical talent; just to be under her instructions for 10 days is well worth the small sum of $10.00 without any other additional studies; she executes with case; is full of information; never tires of assisting those who seek her help; personality pleasing and with all very modest. Last but not least she is a composer. Two high class musical programs were rendered under her supervision. Director A. W. Ross arranged with Jay Hawk Broadcasting Station, Sunday evening and the foli-wing program was proclaimed at 8:45; I Shall Not Be Moved by Mixed Chorus. After The Shadows by Rev. C. P. Norrw.

The many friends of Principal E. E. Weaver, regretted to learn of his resignation, as the Chief Executive of Kansas Vocational School; his closing address to the Assembly was characterized by a Christian spirit, all the way in which he implored the Faculty, employees, and the people in general to co-operate with the newly elected Principal, Professor Clement Richardson, to support the school un- The Negro Star-For the good of the People der the incoming administration. Mr. Weaver declared he had done the best he could. We say, "Angels could do no more." God's Men cannot fail. Success to Mr. Weaver and family is the sincere wish of the Baptist. A reception was given at the Principal's residence, and the entire student body was the guest of honor. A number of friends and visitors were present from the city to participate in this eventful affair. Mrs. Weaver and family spared no pain in sharing their hospitality with all.

We are proud to say, that the outlook for Kansas Baptist is bright; with Dr. E. L. Scruggs, dean of the Seminary, and Prof. Clement Richardson, Principal of Kansas Vocational School, two outstanding educators; with the co-operation of the Baptist there is no reason why both Christian and Secular Education should not take on new life. For two days Director A. W. Ross was indisposed, in fact confined to his room as a result from too much recreation, but there was a very fine little minister from Chanute, by the name of Rev, C. O. Marshall, full of "Pep" whatever that may be, who readily conducted the affairs of the Assembly in a manner that reflected credit upon all. July 15, 1927, closed the most successful session in the eight years of the Summer Assembly—the students are getting results. Finally, may He, who rules the world, keep each of you in perfect peace, and give you a heart full of love that you may render unselfish service to humanity, for by so doing, we become master-builders, and extend the work of the kingdom. MRS. WM. SMOTHERS, Atchison YOUTH AND LAWLESSNESS B. Y. P. U. JULY 24, 1927 Perfect peace and happiness is the passion of every normal soul. Our text gives us a recipe for happiness. Passalm I. Division. Walk not with the ungodly, that is go not the way they go. Stand not with Sinne stand on the solid rock of Truth. Sit not with the wicked, be not content with their lot, the Christian delights in the Law fo God, the ruling passion of his life, is "That he might do the Will of his Master, Thy Will be done in us as in Heaven. He meditates upon the things of God, He thinks upon them, things divine. Coupled with all of God's commands is a glorious promise the rightous shall be like a tree. Promise of Divine support, Promise of a Fruitful Life, promise of a continuous Life and the promise of a prosperous life, on the other hand it will not be so with the ungody, he shall finally fail. Law breaking is prevalent in us all it has been handed down from Adam to us and we have passed it to our prosperity. The present generation however; is no worse than the generation from which it came. Possibly by reason of numbers there is more energy misdirected. Our poor example and leadership is largely responsible. Solomon, said: "Train up a child in the way it should go and when it is old it will not depart from it, the Vine must climb on what it finds, the Lawlessness of the 20th century cannot be helped by legislation, but by society regeneration. The righteous and wicked walk in opposite directions. They cannot walk together because opposed to each other. Lawlessness, rests in the bosom of us all only Grace can make us law abiders. What have you thought, said or done today that is out of harmony with the law of God? Have you violated God's law by the sin of commission or the sin, of commission. Are the Young People today more lawless than the generation of ago? Is it harder to be a Christian now than twenty years ago? Have you anything to contribute for a more lawful nation? To what extent are the parents responsible for behavior of Youth? God has the remedy for the lewless age of the Universe, and he is depending upon the Christian Individually and the Church collectively to apply the healing balm.
