LINCOLN MEMORIAL ON MOUNTAIN FACE
CUMBERLAND GAP. July 23 Atlanta's Stone Mountain will bear the carved features of Robert E. Lee and other famous Confederate leaders. A great precipice near this town, 300 miles from Atlanta, is to have lined thereupon by the scluptor's chisol the likeness of Abraham Lincoln, Kentuckian, whose armed men overthrew the cause for which Lee fought.
There will be no other Lincoln Memorial like this in the world. A noted sculptor from the the East came here, looked at the towering roc decided that the carving could be done, and it is likely the plan will be feasible within a few months. Two year's would likely be required to cut Lincoln's figure into the heights of limestone. The peak lifts its mightly head above Cumberland Gap, and, its shadow reaches almost to Lincoln Memorial University. The rock mountain is located on the grounds of the university, which however, is in Tennessee. Virginia Kentucky and Tennessee State line join here.
The figure of Lincoln would be more than 100 ft. in height, and according, to the plans as advanced, it would be alone. When the figure has been chisled out of the living stone the great masses of timber will be slashed from the lower slopes and blue grass will be sown there. Steps are then to be built up the hill to as near the foot of the monlitic figure as possible.
MALONE'S
STENOGRAPHER
SUES FOR $2500
BACK PAY
(Preston News Service)
ST. LOUIS, MO., July 29—Aaron Malone, former head of Poro College the famed institution of beauty culture, was named defendant in a suit for $2500 filed in circuit court Thursday by his former secretary Mattie Beasley Robinson. She alleges that Malone employed her about a year ago to serve him during his litigation with his wife, Mrs. Annie Pope Turnbo Malone, founder of Poro College. Miss Robinson says that Mr. Malone agreed to pay her $2500 and in addition pay her $10 per week for expenses. He paid her the $10 weekly but not the $2500, she complains. The litigation between the Malones was settled out of court recently. Malone could not be reached for a statement.
TENNESSEE MAN, HUMAN ADDING MACHINE.
ISSUES CHALLENGE TO ALL COMERS.
(Preston News Service)
DENVER, COLO., July 23—The next time your adding machine starts backfiring, put in a call for Charles W. Cansler, of Knoxville, Tenn. Cansler uses his head for an adding machine and does away with the cost of upkeep. Cansler, who is visiting in Denver with his brother, Fritz Cansler, Secretary of the Glenarm branch Y. M. C. A., challenges all comers to any kind of speed mathematical contest. His greatest enjoyment comes from adding four columns of figures, five digit multiplication, and long division of like proportions. Cansler is principal of a Knoxville high school. While other men go to shows for recreation, he delights in breaking speed records in mathematics.

The Sunflower Lodge, K. of P's and the Court of Calanthes of the State of Kansas, closed one of the best sessions in the history of the organization last Thursday, at St. Paul and Calvary Churches. The Uniform Ranks camped at the McKinley Park and pleased the public with the military drills every evening at 6:30. The band of the First Regiment gave concerts. The reports, the plans, the interest and fellowship give evidence that a great future is ahead of the Calanthes and Knights in Kansas under the leadership of Mrs. Norene Davis and her staff; and Dr. Thompson and his staff. We are pruod of Col. C. Prince Edwards, who is a member of major general staff of the world, for Uniform Ranks. The Big Parade led by Col. C. P.

Coleman, one of the men who caused the Grand Lodge to meet here, and a business man of 18 years standing, Major Coffee, Col. C. P. Edwards, Major Bowler of K. C. K., Col. Herd of Fort Riley, were mounted and looked grand. The companies fell in line as follows: Company no. 1, under Capt. Joseph Garrett; String-no. 2, Capt. L. Messley; Troup A under Capt. Bossell of Kansas City. Next was Mr. Winfield Burks' car with the Grand Chancellor, Mrs. W. Wright and Mrs. Burks. About 75 cars followed.

Sunday School Lesson
(By REV. P. H FITEWAHN DII, Dean
Alonso) [Little Institute of Chicago]
(1923) Western Newspaper (Union)
Lesson for July 31
LESSON TEXT—1 Samuel 18 1.41
19 JUL.
GOLDEN TEXT—There is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Two Good Friends
JUNIOR TOPIC—David and Jana
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Choosing the Right Bird of Friends
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Obligations of Friendship
The friendship of David and Jonathan has become immortalized in the world's thought. It was unique in that it occurred between two men of rival worldly interests. Jonathan was the crown prince, the heir to the throne. David was heir according to the divine choice and arrangement. Jonathan knew this and magnified it immensely waved his natural personal rights to the one he knew God had chosen.
1. Friendship Established Between David and Jonathan (I Sam, 13:14).
1. Love at sight
Following the Interview of Saul and David after the victory over Gollath, Jonathan's soul was knit with that of David. He loved him as his own soul. While there was mutual love, this pleasing trait stands out more prominently in Jonathan than in David because it meant great loss to him—the loss of the throne; while it meant immense gain to David, the acquisition of the throne to which he had no natural right.
2. Covenant established (vv. 3, 4).
Following the love covenant between them, Jonathan stripped himself of his court robe and his equipment and gave them to David. This act was a virtual abdication of the throne to David.
11. Jonathan Defended David Against Saul's Frenzy (I Sam 19:1-7).
Against Saints Pretty (1 Saul 10:27)
David went into the battle with Gollath out of zeal for God and true religion—not for personal glory, but it turned out as always that because he made God first, God honored him.
Upon David's return from victory over the Philistines, according to the custom he was met by a triumphal chorus of women from all the cities of Israel chanting praises to him for his victory over their enemy. They ascribed more praise and honor to David than to Saul. These women seemed to wish as prewoking changes. The one who "lives shall his thousands," the one answered, "and David his ten thousand." To hear sung the praises of a thousand how surpassing his two was too much for Saul. It aroused marrowous envy which had been slumbering in his heart and moved him twice to attempt to kill David. This whitedness was in his heart as a bitter feeling, but this occasion fanned it into a flare, making it a burning passion of evil.
In Saul's third attempt to kill David,
Jonathan defended him before his father
and evoked from him the oath that David should not be slain. He thus exposed himself to the anger of his infurred father for David's sake.
III. Jonathan Revealed to David
Saul's Murderous Intent (I S m.
20:20:40).
The beginning of the new moon was celebrated by sacrifices and feasting at which all the members of the family were expected to be present (v. 5). David's excuse for being absent was that he might go home to attend the yearly sacrifice of the entire family. The annual feast was more important than the monthly feast. Matters were now so serious that Jonathan and David renewed the covenant between themselves. In this renewal the tears were broadened beyond the line of Jonathan (vv. 14, 15). Sue's answer was now so fierce that for Jonathan to be found in David's company was most dangerous, so he cleverly played a sign by which he could make in vain to David Saul's attitude and purpose. We prove our friendship by warning those who are exposed to danger. David's heart responded by pleasing fidelity to Jonathan's seed flower. This pledge was faithfully carried out by David (II Sam. 9; 7, 8) Concerning real friendship observe
1. It should be made while both parties are young, when the hearts are capable of being knit together.
2. Real friends are few. We shouldn't be careful in the formation of friendships. For though we should be everybody we can have but few friends, Friendship should be formed for the purpose of helping each other. There can be no real friendship except where merit is on both sides.
3. Real friendship can only be with God fearing people. Both David and Jonathan recognized their obligation to the Lord.
Satan on Watch
Prayer is the strategical point which Satan watches. If he can succeed in causing us to neglect prayer, he has won; for where communion between God and His people is broken, the true source of life and power is cut off.—Andrew Murray.
The man at the top is usually some one who has been in the habit of going to the bottom of things.—The Prospector.
B.Y.P U.LESSON
The Burmese Empire was founded in the middle of the 18th Century by Alompra, the first sovereign of the dynasty, which fell in the person of King Thubow in 1886. In 1924 the British captured Rangoon on May the 11th. Successive victories in favor British followed until on Dec. 31, 1885. Burmah was formally annexed to British India thus closed the history of Burmah as an independent kingdom.
Some of the thirgs to overcome in the "Beginning in Burmer." The sanitary condition, very unhealthy water covered much of the land. Their customs and manners. The religious life as to the attitude of the government toward Christianity.
In our text we have, "The Gates of Hell against the Church, and the Attack Upon Its Head."
The applaudes which the King received caused him to continue to weild the bloody sword.
Peter was arrested and put into prison and secure between two soldiers, bound with two chains.
The Church took the mother to the highest court and God sends a deliverer.
No church is stronger than its weakest Christian, nor weaker than its Strongest Christian.
Does the devel attract the leader or the weakest member
Do leaders fail because the church fails in its prayer life.
Is a man a criminal because he is in jail?

TO THE MISSIONARY BAPTISTS
OF NEOSHO VALLEY DISTRICT
ASSOCIATION:
Dear Co-Workers:—
This is to inform you of the great need of our Missionary Work. The Missionary Pastors, those of Foreign Fields, and our own Central Baptist Seminary at Topeka, Kansas, need all the assistance you are able to give. Let us keep in mind that except we do our best, we will not do our duty. Therefore, we urge every Church, Auxiliary, and individual member to bring, or send all money that is due, to our twenty-third Annual Session, which convenes August 16th to 19th, 1927 with New Hope Baptist Church, Chanute, Kansas Rev. Chas. O. Marshall, Pastor. Brethren, God is depending on us to do our part. So let us make a special effort to pay up. Pray that this session willclipse all others.
I pray that the "Peace of God abide with you."
James Henry, Scott, Moderator.

Sunday School, good, also sun rise Pastor Williams, preached at 11 prayer meeting.
o'clock, a very interesting sermon on "prayer," A black board demonstration using each letter of the word pray, in his argument as what it represented. First letter, P, meant pray for the people, not just our people, all Nations. Second, R, for restoration and joy to our salvation. Third, A, for America pray for our government as well as the welfare of our church. Fourth, Y, pray for young people, bringing out some wonderful thoughts and showing to all present what prayer meant as we have never seen it before. Very glad Pastor Williams is feeling fine again. Our church is in a rally. Buisy clubs are working uniting for the $50000 by the first Sunday.

When a man can concelve a thought
and then give birth to that thought,
then sells it to some one he fs a great
man. We find this true in reference
to Bir, Sam Jones, 501 N. Water,
who can do anything and do it well.
A few months ago, when the city
condemned all the houses along the
canal, he conceived the thought of
using the houses to an advantage,
Ac picked cut a firm, which had prop
erty lots, and bad desiied to sell the
lots for a long time, so he sells his
thought to this company and was
made salesman and contractor for
the property; and he has moved, re-
modeled and handled all the business
for 5 five of the houses, using over
18 different mechanics and laborers,
paying them off with the cash, every
week. Ho is worthy and he proved
it, He knows the “stuff” and can de-
liver the goods, Do you seo his
work, KNOCKERS?

James Carter, 16 on July 15, at Oko-

nocence until the last breath before
over 1800, Their last words were:
“We are not guilty, xo help us God,”
They claim that Willie Logan, wilt
be in hell for the testimony she had
given, while they will be in heaven.
‘They sald: it would be found out that
they were not guilty.
Now, they ere dead because Gov.
Murphree would not give time for
further investigation, although their
is a 10 year old Negro boy in Hot,
Springs, who claims he was an eye
witness, but was forced by a white
planter, to testify as he did, whose tes
timony condemned the men. He
swears now that Logan was killed by
the planter with a gun furnished by
Logan's wife.
Now, the come the questions: were
the men hanged to pay for the deed
of this planter? Should not the law
ascertain truth, before taking lives;
if it is possible? Should not mercy
at least warrant time for an inveatl-
gation? Should not the law protect
right?, Well, they were Negroes!
Who cares? We believe God cares,
