H. T. HUNTER, Reporter. I should be glad to let the brotherhood know what we are doing in the East for the Master and His Kingdom. We have been battling against sin and satan for some few days with Dr. T. T. Addison as the gunman in the camps of Israel and our pastor, J. T. Elias as henchman. This has been a great fight, contending with supposed friends within and foes without. However, we never let the banner trail in the dust. With our pastor's wise counseling and Dr. T. T. Addison, the evangel-hot-shots from God's cannon, we were able to conquer every foe. God leading the van and the Holy Spirit acting as fireman to keep our hearts aglow. Last night, the battle ended with 20 souls saved; and 16 for baptism. Last night at baptizing we had an over-flowing crowd. People came from Joplin, Mo., from Chetopa, and nearby points. Rev. Cooper baptized one man who confessed in our meeting; He, at the same time, ran a few nights' meeting-with father Cartwright and son, W. C., as evangelists, but had no accessions. Rev. W. C.

Tuesday night will close our Pastor's 18th anniversary, at which time we are giving him, the new converts and all joiners during the revival, a big banquet, with Dr. T. T.

Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting ot Topeka October 4-9,1927 TO THE CHURCH AND PASTOR: My Dear Collebors: At the annual session of our State Convention held at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1927, the Convention adopted the more modern plan for carrying forward our Missionary and Educational work (both Home and Foreign) and in fact for carrying forward all our Convention obligations. our Convention obligations. 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 and 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 ad them forth in this much needed and butiness-like plan for our Convention. This plan was presented to the Ministers 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. With much prayer and supplication we are very respectfully, W. A. BOWREN, D. D. Pres. A. W. ROSS, Executive Secy. and Supt. of Missions. Who will be first to enlist as a Monthly Regular?

Main MILK & CREAM Rose "Bud Butter" 132 N. Walnut JURSEY --- Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (RO REV W. M. FITZWATER) (19) , Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago 1928 Western Newspaper Link Lesson for April 15 TRANSFIGURATION AND SERVICE LESSON TEXT—Mark # 2-21 GOLDEN TEXT—He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same heareth much fruits for apart from me ye can do nothing. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Shows His Glory. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Shows His Glory. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—What Faith and Prayer Can Do. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Meaning of the Transfiguration. When Christ announced His death which was to take place on the cross, the disciples were unable to see how victory could issue from death Jesus took with Him Peter, James and John into the mountain. Two men from the upper world were sent to converse with Jesus about Ili's approaching death at Jerusalem—the very thing about which the disciples refused to talk. The transfiguration is therefore a foregloom of the coming kingdom. I. Jesus Christ Glorified on the Mountain (vv. 2, 8). He took the disciples "by them solves" and was "transfigured before them." This shows that the purpose of the transfiguration terminated upon the disciples and not on Christ Christ's rebuke of Peter for his unwillingness to hear concerning his death apparently for a time estranged the disciples from Him. To heal this breach an unusual transaction was required. His shining raiment was typical of that glory which shall be manifest when Christ comes back to the earth. His appearance on the mountain typifies His visible appearance on the Mount of Olives (Zech. 14:4, 9). II. Peter, James and John Represent Israel in the Flush in Connection With the Kingdom (v. 2). Christ is peculiarly the King of Israel. According to Ezekiel 37:21-27, the Israelites are to be the central people in the kingdom. This people shall be gathered from among the nations and united as one in that kingdom, in their own country. III. Moses and Ellas Appeared in Glory With Jesus (vv. 4-13). These men in the glorified state are typical of the state of the saints in glory. Moses, who was once denied an entrance into Palestine, appears now in glory representing the redeemed of the Lord who shall pass through death into the kingdom. Multitudes of the Lord's own who have fallen asleep shall be awakened at Christ's coming and pass into the kingdom. Ellis represents the redeemed who shall pass into the kingdom through translation. Some shall be living upon the earth when the Lord shall come, and they, without dying, shall be changed and thus pass into the kingdom (I Cor. 15: 5051; I Thess. 4:14-18). I. Peter's proposal (vv. 5, 6). So definitely was the method of the kingdom unfolded before Peter that he proposed to erect tabernacles for Christ, Moses and Elijah. It is true that the unveiling of the majestic person of Christ and the panoramic display of the kingdom somewhat discerned Peter; yet he grasped its central meaning and proposed to celebrate the advent of the kingdom which had been prefigured in a tangible way. 2. The divine voice out of the cloud (vv. 7, 8). God declared Jesus to be his beloved Son in whom He was well pleased. If one would know what is pleasing to God, let him study Jesus, who perfectly did His Father's will. 3. Jesus' charge (vv. 9-11). He charged them that they should tell no man concerning the things which they had seen until he had them from the dead. IV. A Demonstration of the Purpose of the Establishment of the Kingdom (s. 14:20). When they descended from the mountain of transfiguration they will nausea a great multitude in a state of perplexity. The immediate cause of this state was the grievous condition of a young man possessed with a demon (v. 18). The father of the young man had appealed to the disciples to cast the demon out, but they were unable to do so. When they brought him into Jesus, the soul spirit was rebuked and came forth. This young man's state is representative of the nations who are oppressed by the Devil. Just as this young man was grievously oppressed, causing him to cast himself into the fire and into the waters, so the nations today in their perplexity are doing the things which will result in their own destruction. The Devil will be peculiarly active in the oppression of men and nations in the last days. Getting Salvation If we are going to get salvation, we have got to get it upon God's terms and not upon our own; and that is why I fear that a good many people will not get it—simply because they can't have their own way about it.—10. L. Moody. Sailing to Glory We do not sail to glory in the salt sea of our tears but in the red sea of a Redeemer's blood. — Christian Monitor. B. Y. P. U. LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES SUNDAY, APRIL 15, 1928. Subject: "How May I Become a Christian?" Text, Luke, 15:11-21. "Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved." "Repent and believe the Gospel." "Whosoever will, let him come and take of the water of life freely." One may become a Christian as the prodigal became restored member to the family. He must come to want, "What shall I do to be saved?" 2. He must come to himself, "O wertched man that I am." 3. He must come to a decision, 'Choose ye this day, whom ye will serve.' 4. He must come to God, "I will arise and go to my father." "He that cometh to God, must believe that He is." Heb. 11-6. A Christian is an individual who is possessed and controlled by the spirit of Christ, "If any man hath not the spirit of Christ, he is none of his." A Christian is one who lives on earth and his life is ruled from heaven. Each member should know two things, above all else, first, he should know that he is saved and then he should know how to tell others to be saved. One of the prerequisites of the church membership in a certain mission was to lead another to Christ. If this were the condition of membership in the church today our membership would be much smaller. How may one know that he is a Christian? Is it possible for others to know that one is a Christian? Will a Christian lie? Steal? Commit adultery and fornication? Fail to pay an honest debt? Drink? Dance? Gamble? Tattle? Backbite? Gossip? Break Peace? Withhold his money from the church? Desecrate the Sabbath or the Lord's Day? Or are these the fruit of the wicked spirit? Read Gal. 5:15-22. But the fruit of a Christian is found Gal. 5:22-24. It is well to examine our title, daily, "For many shall say unto me, that day" etc. PAOLA NEWS NOTES The service at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Sunday, was well attended. P.

GOW Treasurer of Kansas Gas and Electric Company Kansas Gas and Electric Company is dependent upon the investing public for financing itself. The investing public is so sensitive to the opinion of the great general public that unless we hold the general public's friendship and cooperation we find it difficult to finance ourselves. That sounds a bit complicated, doesn't it? Here is the explanation: Under the regulatory laws of Kansas, a public utility may make only enough money to pay its running expenses, the "wear and tear" on and the replacement of its equipment, and "a fair return on a fair valuation of the property, used and useful in the business." The state public service commission watches our rates very carefully to keep us from doing more than that.
