People who make up a restless church delight in using worldly plans for making money, They are very fond of sen- sational preaching as It serves only to make them feel good. Ministers can easily arouse, and get many amens, as well as shouts when they talk about mother and dear friends who lived a good old Christ- fan life and have gone on to “Glory,” to sit at the “Welcome Table,” and fenat on milk and honey. That is the Kind of preaching that reaches the hearts of our evil restless members. Try to tell them the method by which they may Inherit eternal life; they will say, “Oh well it was the truth, but I could not stay awake. Liike little gravy with my preaching.” Unwilling members are always finding fault, peeping and peering, having evil fmaginations and noth- ing did or said (especially by the pastor) is right. They will immedi- ately join hand and hand put their whole bearts into any kind of evil movement that will serve to tear down the Spiritual Power of our pas- tors, The least ramor that a rest- Jess church may hear about thelr pas- tor they (before considering the source, or consulting their pastor) are ready to turn him off and get new one, which will be treated like wine or.even worse, because getting another pastor does not change ‘thi hearts of the restless church mer bers. Disnatified people always have un- christian ways of settling differences. They never atop to pray, over what- evre the difference maybe or even talk it over with their brother or sister, but in lots of cases they will call in worldly people to help settle Christian differences, We es Chris- tians must leearn to settle our little differences among ourselves and es- pecially in a Christian way. Evil effects do not grow in grace nor in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. If we would grow, we must pray and rid ourselves from all evils, Our ministers cannot expect to develop with their hearts full of evell, and trying to please some certain “Up- to-Date People; in thelr churches, If they would develop they must preach the truth, and be so well ac- quainted with God, so that when the church becomes restless they will be unmovable,” Be ready to put forth the best effort that will quiet the restless ones, and encourage the faith- ful few, as there has been and always will be » few cross bearing Chris- tans. . * People, who are poisoned with evil cannot expect to get high and per- manent places in the community life. We have been told in our “Good Book;" to avoid even the appear- ance of evil. ® In every avenue of lie there must be a leader, The Christian people should be the community leader, If that is true, we as Christians should prepare to be out standing charac- tera, We can be by having the love 0? God, which drives out all unclean things such as evil, and anything that fa rot pleasing in the sight of God, ‘The climax of this great and won- derfal lesson to me is, climb up, and pp where the air {s filled with the Jove of God, and the atmosphere is pore. Look up always and our thoughts will be on higher things. ——s— Ottawa News. —_—— Sunday School opened at the usual hour, At 11:00 o'clock, Rev, Martin (white) pastor of the First Baptist Chureh of Chaunte, who {s attend- ing the Kansas Baptist Assembly brought us a message from St. John 116, subject: “The Plan of Salva- tion.” ‘At the 8:00 o'clock service, Pastor Favors preached an inspiring ser- mon from J, John 1:3, subjects “The ROGERS- THOMPSON Special to The Negro Star: BIRMINGHAM, ALA. Aug, 10— On Wednesday Morning, Avg. 3) the home of Mr, and Mrs, A. J.

KAW VALLEY “ASSOCIATION CLOSES INTER- ESTING SESSION — SE Be Ee ie SEVER Sunday night, August 7th, the Kaw Valley Baptist Association closed a most interesting session, Rev. M, J. Burton, pastor of Second Baptist Church, North Topeka, delivered the sermon for the occasion, It was fraught with encouragement for the workers for the coming year. ‘ Beginning with the B. Y. P. U Convention, Miss Mattie L. Brad- shaw, President, on to the Sunday Sebool Convention, Mrs. Rosa L. Jones, President, on to the Women's Convention, Mra. L. A. Turner, Pres- ident, the interest was high and in- spiring. Each number on the pro-- gramme was well directed to the in- tpiration and Christian growth and encouragement of the meetings. A fine spirit prevailed throughout the auxiliary, All officers for the auxi: laries were elected to head the work for 1928, It is anticipated that most wonderful will be the accomplish. ments, as each department will strive to excel itself. The Association proper was highly spiritual and instructive. The Bible topics were helpful, Dr. Brown, Nashville, Tenn, represented the Publishing House, and taught daily through all departments. Dr. J. B. Richardson was no less interesting in his subjects, The Missionary Masy ‘Meeting, conducted by De A. W. Ross, Supt. of Mission, was great and far-reaching in results. Be it said that this department must be sup- parted by the constituents in a larger way, for Dr, Ross has a constructive programme, which if followed, will mean much for the spread of the Gospel in our state. The charches did well in represen- taticn, notwithstanding the dearth of finance because of non-employment of mary of the church members in each town and section of the district, But for the new year it is expected that each pastor will be careful to start his programe for the Associa- tional finance earlier and thereby come to the 1928 session with a high- er representation. Officers for the General Associa- tion are:—Moderator, Dr. D, B. Jack- son, ‘Kansas City, Kansas; Vice Mod- erator, Dr. S. Montgomery, Kanssa City, Kansas; Recording Secretary; Dr. G. N. Jackson, Lawrence, Kane sas; Corresponding Secretary, H. B. Bronson, Kansas City, Kansas; Treasurer, Dr. BM. J. Burton, Topeka, Kansas. ‘The success of these officers is wrapped up in the pastors and mem- bers of the churches comprising the Association. Do your whole duty and make the work @ success, Dr. W. A. Bowren, President of the State, was confined to fils bed and unable fp attend the meeting, but his message of encouragement was sent and read with delight to all con- cerned. For him is wished a speedy recovery and restoration to his Chris. tian activities, Mrs, Rosa L. Jones, President of the Sunday School, Is also confined to her home by fllness, For her It 1s the prayer of the Dis- trict that she seon will be herself and take her work in hand. To the church at Edwardville, Rev, B. L. Wightman, Pastor, the banner for the highest representation was awarded on the highest amount of money per capita, Look out! Some other church will take it in 1928. ‘The next Annual Session will held with the Ninth Street Church at | Lawrence, Kansas. All Aboard! a MOREHOUSE : MAKES PREPARA- TION. DRAMATIC CAN- TATA A SUCCESS One of the most highly successful entertainments that has been given in the City, was the rendition of the Dramatic Cantata, Saul King of Torael," by the members of. the St. Paul ADM, E.

W. Fines, Choristress, was director and was highly praised for her ability and splendid work. By special requests the Choir will reyeat the cantata at Calvary Bap- tist Church, Friday evening, Avg. 11. Other engagments will be filled at St, Mirks C, M. E. Church and at the First M.

F H BJEWAIRD, DD, Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (CA, 1887, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for August 14 DAVID BRINGS THE ARK TO JERUSALEM LESSON TEXT—II Sam. 6 1-19; Ps 24 GOLDEN TEXT—We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. PRIMARY TOPIC—David Worships God MINOR TOPIC—David Worships JUNIOR TOPIC—David Worships God. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How to Worship God YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Exalting God in Individual and National Life. 1. David Made King. 1. Over Judah (II Sam. 2:114). Upon the death of Saul and Jona than, David knew that the time had come for the fulfillment of God's purpose, but he carefully inquired of the Lord as to the proper movement to make. God directed him to Hebron whereupon the children of Judah anointed him to be their king. 2. Over Israel (II Sam. 5:1-5). After the death of Ishbosheth, the children of Israel came and formed a league with David, anointing him as their king. They assigned as their reasons: (1) He was their brother (v. 1). This is true of Jesus Christ, who has become our kinsman through the incarnation. (2) He was their leader in war even in Saul's time (v. 2). (3) He was the Lord's choice (v. 2). II. David's Unsuccessful Attempt to Bring Up the Ark (vv. 1-5). This is an example of a wrong way of doing a right thing. That the Ark of the Lord of Hosts, the symbol of God's presence, should be brought to the center of the nation's life was a decision worthy of all praise. David gathered together the representative men of the nation in order that the movement might be a national one. That David was sincere in this measure cannot be doubted, but he was honest and inconsiderate, for the procedure was an express violation of God's statutes. The dictum that it matters little what you do, just so you are honest and sincere is one of the devil's biggest lies. III God Vindicates His Law and Holiness (v. 61). The people were very joyful as they moved on to the Jerusalem with the ark, but suddenly there was a stop to the jubilant voices and music. At some rough place in the road the oxen stumbled and Uzzah, anxious for the precious freight on his cart, reached forth his hand to stendy it. This resulted in his being stricken to death, as a man who touches a live electric wire. Ignorance does not make a man immune from the death which is in the touch of the heavily charged electric wire; neither does it in the case of the violation of God's laws. Since the ark was God's dwelling place among men, they needed to know that He was holy. IV. The Ark of God in the House of Obed-Edom (vv. 1012). The homes where God is welcomed are always blessed. Obed Idom was not better personally than Uzzah and David, but he openly received the Lord and properly related himself to Illm. What had been death and dread to others was life and blessing to him. This was all because of his at titude toward it. V. The Ark Brought to Jerusalem With Great Joy (vv. 13-19). 1. Sacrifices were offered after going six paces (v. 13). David made the start and when convinced of God's approval, he made offerings. These were both burnt and peace offerings, typifying the self dedication of the offerers and their thanksgiving (I Chron. 10:1). 2. David's great joy (vv. 14, 15). The people joined him with great shouting and with the sound of the trumpet. 3. Michal's criticism (v. 10). Even though David went to excess in his expression of joy, it was wrong in her to criticize, for God seems to have sanctioned David's rebuke of her (v. 23). 4. The grand celebration (v. 17 19) As a token of his gratitude to God David generously treated the people. 5. The King of Glory, the Lord Jesus Christ, coming (Ps. 21:7-10). This was not the psalm composed by David for the occasion of bringing up the ark; that was Psalm 105. (See I Chron. 10). It is strange that such a suggestion should have been made. This 24th psalm pictures Christ as the coming and triumphant King. At that time the gates shall open to Him and the King of Glory shall come in God Gives Us Power God gives us power to bear all the sorrows of his making; but he does not give the power to bear the sorrows of our own making, which the anticipation of sorrow most assuredly is. Ian MacLaren. Asking --- Asking" of me" is the one appeal of the most high. It is not enough that we should be able to vindicate a promise signed by the divine hand; we must plead it—F. D. Mejer. B.Y.P U.LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES 615 Wabash Ave., Wichita, Kansas. GETTING READY FOR TROUBLE Eph. 6:10-20 ```markdown ``` The book was written by Paul about A. D. 61 or 62, about the same time that he wrote to the Colossians. It was written for instruction and conformation of the church in truth, to encourage unity, a Christlike spirit consecration, complete war equipments. The Chapter First, an exhortation to children, parents, servants and masters to be obedient, sympathetic and just. The Lesson. The lesson teaches preparedness. The writer holds out two ideas: first, practice, exercise, drilling for strength. Second, complete equipment. We need much practice and equipment to meet the enemy. He is wise cunning and strong. The battle is not a physical encounter, its a soul struggle, spiritist against spirit;—a battle with an invisible prince. The ruler of darkness. We need complete covering for the contact, because the devil is looking for the exposed point. We should be girded with truth—speak it and live it; breastplates of right conduct—right living, protects and securing, Gospel shoes enable us to walk straight and sure; Faith wards off the arrow of the enemy; Salvation, protects the head—it helps us think straight; the Word of God is our sword—carry it and use it. We should be prayerful, watchful and persistent. Talk to God, watch the enemy and advance on the foe. Pray for the ministry that it may speak boldly for God and the church. Truths: Trouble is the instrument God uses to bring out of His children a perfect image. No man has ever seen his enemy, he has only seen the house in which he lived. One can no more fight spiritual battles with material weapons than he can destroy a shadow without annihilating the object. If you want sure victory and permanent place fight the battle on your knees. BETHLEHEM BAPTIST CHURCH REV. WM. THOMAS, PASTOR S.

DISH WASHER RANGE Tin LIGHT BEATER SHARPENER AND BUFFER REFRIGERATION CONVENIENCE OUTLET DISH WASHER RANGE Kansas G BEATER SHARPENER AND BUFFER RANGE Times Hav Times Have Changed THE old-fashioned kitchen, where our mothers slaved away their lives, is rapidly disappearing-thank goodness! The uncontrollable oven, the fat floating dish water, the sloppy and troublesome ice box—all have been, or are being replaced by electrified kitchen appliances. As a result the homekeeper's work has been dignified at last into what it should have been centurles ago—a real profession. The up-to-date housewife finds her tools as modern and efficient a. those of her husband. Does she wish to cook? An electric range, quick, compact, cleanly, easily controlled, economical, is in a corner of her kitchen. Are there dishes to be washed? An electric dishwasher, holding a full day's dishes, washes them, without effort or worry. By the wall stands the electric refrigerator—and no wet foot prints from the run over drip pan are on her spotless floors, because the electric refrigerator makes its own ice.
