It was the Mission of John the Baptlat and the one theme that he held up Eefore the people, through the entire duration of his ministry; Hence, the burden of his preaching was Repen- tence, because of the very approach, and presence of the Reign of Christ. It was the Supreme Mission of our Savior, who in quoting the prophecy of Isa., the noted Gospel Prophet of Old Testament, he declared that the Spirit of the Lord was upon him for He had anointed him to preach the Gospel to the poor; that He had sent me to heat the broken hearted, To preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind; To set at liberty them that are bruis- ed; and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, Luke 4:18,19, He emphasized this fact, when in ans- wering the unjust criticism of His foes in the house of Zaccheus, He «f firmed that His mission was to seek and to save that which {a lost, The commission tho Savior gave to the disciples, and to the church, after His resurrection from the dead, was a sweeping commission to Evane gelize the World. Matt, 28:19, 20; Mark 16:15, 26 and 24:47; but today, this basic and Supreme Work is mis- erably neglected and side-tracked. Once @ year, or once every two or three years, is regarded as al] suffi- clent time given to this work. Too vauch attention is given to money raising, and to building fine and costly churches, and the burdening of the people with preponderant fi- nancial responsibilities to the eternal detriment of the work of Evangehsm ip the local communities where the churches are generalfy located. The people are too busy to turn their at- tention to this high and exalted work of winning the unsaved to Christ.

LIVINGSTON, Reporter, Sunday School Lesson (By REN P J FITZWATER D) Dean Mondy Bible Institute of Chicago (© 1928 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for February 19 TWO MIRACLES OF POWER LESSON TEXT—Mark 4 23-5 20 GOLDEN TEXT—What manner of man is this that even the wind and the sea obey him? PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Stills the Sloth JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Rules the Storm INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Universal Power of Jesus YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Jesus' Power over Nature and Human Life. 1. Jesus Calms the Sea (vv. 37-41) 2. Crushing the sun (vv. 38, 39) 1. Crossing the sea with the wearied by teaching the multitudes. He proposed that they take ship at evening time to the other side of the sea, doubtless to escape from the throngs of people. 2. Overtaken by a storm (v. 37). Even though Jesus was in the boat with the disciples they were overtaken by a storm. It is not God's will that we should escape the storms but those who have Christ on their boat are safe because that boat cannot go down. 3. Jesus asleep in the storm tossed boat (v. 35). In the midst of the turbulent elements he was resting in sleep. The day had been a very strenuous one and he was weary he who made the son could well lie down and sleep, though the storm violently rugged. 4 The terrified disciples (v. 38) In their minds nothing but disaster and death awaited them. They were not only terrified, but they childed Jesus for sleeping while they were in such great danger. A Christ's rubuke (vv. 39, 40). (1) The wind (vv. 39). This showed the Lord's mighty power to control the forces of nature. (2) The disables (vv. 40). He rebuked them for their talk of faith. He showed that they were looking upon their circumstances in stead of upon their Lord. A. The effect upon the disciples (v. 41). They were filled with great fear. A little while ago they were afraid in the face of the storm; now they are afraid in the presence of the Lord. II Jesus Heals the Gadarene Demonlac (5:120) After the stilling of the tempest Jesus crossed to the other side of the sea into heathen territory. I. Met by a demon possessed man (vv. 1-6). This man was in a despairate condition. He was so fierce that no one could safely pass that way. He wore no clothes (I like 8:27). No chains were strung enough to hold him and no one was able to tame him. In the night time his hideous cries could be heard while he sent his anger by cutting himself with sticks. Many today are demon possessed. Much of the insanity of the age is timable to this cause. As the coming of the Lord draweth upon these things will increase (I Tim 4:1) 2. What the demons know about Christ (9, 79) They knew that He was the Son of God and that He had come to destroy the devil and the works. Among the demons there is no doubt as to the delity of Christ and the judgment to come, though we have many theologia glans and preachers who say they do not believe it. The devil thinks their eyes so they cannot understand (II Cor 4:4) 3. Christ's power to deliver from the devil (v. 1013) He cast out the demons from the man (v. 8). The demons shall before Christ, not doing to disobey this power, so they begged to be permitted to enter the swine as soon as the Lord issued the permit, they hastened away to hurt the swine to destruction. 4 The effect upon the people of the city (vs. 1417) The keepers of the swine died to the city and made report of what had occurred. This miracle brought the people out, but when they relied on the loss of their bags they be bought Him to serve their needs. They cared more for their bags than for Christ and the cure of this man. These Godatones have many successors to lay. The man who was healed sent home to testify (vs. 1820) No doubt it would have been sure and pleasant to share with Jesus but the friends needed his testimonies. The best witness for Christ is one who has been saved by film. The best place to begin that testimonies is at home where one is known best. Let Christ Do It Christ can develop us far better than we can develop ourselves. Sup pore we let Him do it.—I B Moyer Holy Spirit Must Lead If God is going to have control of your life, then the Holy Spirit must be able to lead you — War cry. A good deal of the world's noise is made for the purpose of stilling the inner voice.—L. B. Singer. R B. Y. P. U. LESSON SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1928 Subject: "Honoring The Home." Ipsalm 129:1-6. "A home is the place where two or more hearts beat as one." The seat of Love, companionship and co-operation, its, origin, preservation and perpetuation are divine. It has been said, "What is home without a mother?" We might add, "What is home without God?" Perfect peace and happiness are the desires of us all. Our lesson points the road that leads to a civilization of these longings. The fear of the Lord and a rightous life are the essential characteristics of peace and happiness in time and eternity. With these virtues we have the promises of God that our labors will be productive and our wives fruitful. It is through Zion, God sends His blessings to the world. Again, long life is promised the faithful and good. They shall see their children's children. The home has the Divine stamp upon it. It is the unity of society, the school and the church. Complete failures in later life are due to short-comings in the family life. In order to the security of the home, it must be protected on all sides: Love, Prayer Bible and Sabbath. The home with these walls is the unit of blessings on earth and any home not so protected may be destroyed at any time. Evil beasts can easily prey upon it and destroy what might have been. Making a home should be the dominant idea in the marriage contract. Homes are not made of wood and stone, but of human souls. The finest home is not the more beautiful and substantial architecture but the purest love and most perfect co-operation. QUESTIONS: What are the essentials of an ideal home? What are some of the causes of failure? What is the remedy for the divorce evil? Leavenworth Kansas FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. PASTOR, REV. E. W. ANTHONY PASTOR, REV. E. W.

TALKING to a roomful of high school girls on personal hybrids, an experienced district nurse said: "One of the basic rules of health for girls is to keep the system functioning naturally at all times. Normal exercise and diet habits should be encouraged. But when necessary there's no harm in taking soli, since it works mechanically and can't disturb the normal functions of any organ of the body. Particularly with girls, there are times when nujol should always be taken. Take a spoonful every night for a few days. It's a thoroughly safe and harmless method. It won't cause astress or gas pain or grunting." Nujol is different from any other substance. It contains no drugs or medicine. It can be taken safely no matter how you are feeling because it is so pure and harmless, and works so easily. Every woman should keep a bottle on hand. Every drugstaff has this remarkable substance.

Our plan calls for $10,000 annually. The plan adopted at the Convention was that $6,700 00 be apportioned directly to the Churches and the balance of the $10,000 to the Conventions of the State and District Associations and Auxiliaries. The amount apportioned to the Churches to be paid monthly or quarterly to the State office, the monthly or quarterly plan preferable because the State obligations are due monthly. For instance, if 25 churches give $5.00 each monthly, it means $125.00, and 25 churches give $3.00 each monthly it means $75.00, and 75 churches give $2.00 each monthly, it means $150.00. This would give the Convention $350.00 to meet her regular monthly obligations a n d money to apply on National Convention requirements. Will you Brother Pastor and Officers give this your hearty support? The Pastor, as God's Keyman, please read this letter to the Church and陪 them forth in this much needed MME. R. Manufacturer of Hum Preparations and --- and business-like plan for our Convention. This plan was presented to the Minister's at the last Board Meetings and the amount for each of the Churches of $6,700 00 was suggested and accepted. The amount for your Church is in the following list. Please let us know the manner in which you will meet the request. We pray it will be the monthly regular plan. Please send something, beginning this month. Please pray for our work as the Missionary Pastors must carry on and the educational work must not be neglected. We are the Lord's and the work is His command. He will make possible if we only trust him. This adopted at our State Convention in session at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1927.
