"SPRING" By Faith Young-Blood—Age 12 years Box 204, Sedan, Kansas Spring in all her splender come, Bringing delight to every heart; Even in hearts that sorrow dons, It awakens a feeling of joy and mirth. Tiny green buds begin to burst, Showing their pretty flowers, They deck the earth with blossoms gay All through the springtime hours. The birds come back and build their nests, The robin once more pipes his sweet strains; And the snarrows, ohl what a noise trey make; To say once again 'tis spring. None should be sad, But all should be glad; In this beautiful season of Spring. Topeka News Notes ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH REV. A. L. BRANCH, PASTOR Sunday Services were enjoyed beginning with S.

READ THIS In our November board session, the New Hope Baptist Church of Chanute, thru their pastor assumed $150.00 of the State Convention budget. To this was added $50.00 for district purposes, making a mission budget of $200.00; this is apportioned $100.00 state work. $50.00 foreign mission thru the Supt. of missions and $50.00 for district purposes for the year 1928. The church proper is to raise $125 of this; Sunday School $12.50; Sr. B. Y. P. U. $12.50; Jr. B. Y. P. U. $13.00; Church Aid Society $10.00; Whatsoever Club, (young people's organization) $10.00; Women's mission Society $12.50; Brotherhood, $10.00. These tunis, however, are the minimum, and do not interfere with the association of auxiliaries, with their state and district bodies. This teaches the auxiliary subordination to the church and creates in them an interest in the real program of the church—Mission. In February at Calvary, Wichita, we paid $20.00; this month we have forwarded to Supt. of Mission $17.50 on the state work and $12.50 for foreign missions, putting us one thing of the way on towards our goal. Biehren, we must concede to the truth that "Mission is the church's program and that other things are secondary; and so give first place to missions rather than make it "part" of our program. I agree with the Supt. of Missions that every church ought to raise for missions as much as it does for its own use. To this end, the pastor of this church is chair man of its Mission Board and together with a Secretary and Treasurer is Let us awake to our duty and see; if ever pressing the claims of the cause God will save our work.

CERTIFICATES READY Railroad identification certificates for the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, are now ready for distribution. Messengers are again reminded that they cannot get the benefit of the reduced rates unless they present one of these certificates to their LOCAL TICKET AGENT when they go to purchase their tickets. In towns and cities whers there are four or five churches or more, it is essential that one person be designated to order certificates for all the messengers. Heretofore, we have had several different people ordering certificates from the same city; this causes us to furnish some cities a greater number of certificates than they really needed. We desire every person to have a certificate who is entitled to one, but it is too expensive to print certificates to supply an unnecessary demand. Send applications for railroad identification certificates to the Congress Headquarters 409 Gay Street, Nashville, Tennessee. E. W. D. ISAAC, Director General. on."

PEORIA, MISS—Mrs. Rebecca Williams died suddenly, April 9th. She was a devout Christian and we feel that she was called from labor to reward; she was always found at her post of duty in the Tick-paw liopist Church of which she was a member, always greeting the friends with a Christian smile; always doing good and giving Christianly advice, especially to the young people. We will miss her so much, and will also strive to meet her again in that celestial city. Death claimed her husin June 1927. She leaves 4 daughters and one son; all are grown.

DENVER COLORADO, APRIL Y Branch Accommodates Large No. of Pullman Employees—More Than Fleman, Tkkergoo Durham Eleven Thousand During Past Year One reason why the Glenarm Branch of the Denver Y. M. C. A., has within the past three years become one of the best known in the entire country was revealed in the tabulated report submitted last week to the pullman district officials by the executive secretary, Fritz Cansler of the Denver Y. M. C. A. The report showed that for the year ending March 31, a total of 11,215 accommodations was furnished under the terms of agreement by, which the Glenarm Y. M. C. A., is to furnish rooms for all employees who do not make their home in Denver. During the summer months thousands of visitor and tourists lured by the mountain scenery and the climate for which Colorado is noted, make necessary large additions to the regular passenger service on the trains running into Denver. This brings to the city and state employees who, during other seasons are in widely separated sections of the country, and who, while in Denver make their home at the Y. M. C. A. Registration for a room at the building carries with it the privileges of the well appointed structure, and the officers have been gratified with the manner in which the men enter into the activities. The gymnasium swimming pool, billiard and game rooms, library and reading rooms are all placed at their disposal and much activity in all of the departments is the result. Superintendents B. H. Vreman and Instructor Clinton Thomas, take special interest in the comfort of the men and are responsible for the agreement with the Y officials which has made possible the splendid accommodations furnished the men in their district. The executive secretary of the Glenarm Y. M. C. A., has frequently publicly commented on the uniform high character of the men now in the employ of the Pullman Company. Almost without exception, according to his report, "The men are sober, intelligent, and thoughtful and richly deserving of every consideration for their comfort and welfare." REDUCED RATES TO CONGRESS Railroad authorities have announced reduced rates of a fare and one-half to the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress to be held in Milwaukee, Wis., June 20-24, 1928.

Messengers failing to secure these Certificates will not be entitled to reduced rates. Bear in mind that the Identification Certificates must be presented to the Local Ticket Agent before leaving home; and that upon presentation of them, round tirp tickets will be sold on the basis herein mentioned. E. W. D. JSAAC, Director General. Sunday School Lesson BY REV. P. M. FITEWATER D.D., Dean Moony Bible Institute of Chicago 12. 1928 Western Newspaper Union Lesson for April 29 THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP LESSON TEXT—Mark 10 17-271 12 41-44 GOLDEN TEXT—Where your treas ure is, there will your heart be almo PRIMARY TOPIC — Loving Jesus Best of All. JUNIOR TOPIC—Putting Jesus First INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—The Supreme Choice. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—The Peril of Riches. 1. The Rich Young Ruler (10:17:27) 1. His question. "What shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?" This young man was in earnest. He came running and kneeded to Jesus. This question reveals a void in his heart. He was a young man with a lovable character "Jesus beholding him, loved him." He was moral, honest, earnest and virtuous, but had a defective theological thought that eternal life could be obtained by good works. Though he claimed to have kept the law, he was conscious of lacking something. He was willing to do something to fill that which was lacking, therefore he came to Jesus to make inquiry as to that lack. 2. Jesus' reply (vv. 18, 10). He knew the young man's heart and put his finger on the weak spot in his life. Jesus reiterated the commandments. The young man averred that he had all his life kept those commandments, but when it came to putting with his possessions in order to help his neighbor he parted with the Lord, going away sorrowful. 3. Lacking one thing and yet lost (iv. 21, 22). When the Lord pointed out to him that the defect in his life was the love of money, he was unwilling to pay the price. When the time came in his life to choose between eternal life and riches he chose wealth and painted company with Christ. 4. The peril of riches (vv. 23-24) Jesus said, "How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God." When He discerned the unstonishment of the disciples he answered again and said, "How hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." The difficulty does not lie in the fact that a man possesses riches, for one may possess riches and still be an heir of the kingdom. Wealth is a mighty power. In itself it is good it will provide bread for the widow and orphans, amelloration for the suffering, and send the gospel of Christ to the ends of the earth. The peril of riches lies in trusting in them how ever, the step from possession of riches to trusting in them is a very short one. The tendency of growing wealth is to destroy the noble life of the soul. So long as a man possesses riches he is safe, but as soon as riches possess the man he is in deadly peril II. The Widow's Mite (Mark 12: 41-44). Jesus had spent a strenuous day and was now quietly watching the surging throng. Observe: 1. Jesus sitting over against the treasury (v. 41). The treasury was the place where the worshipers deposited their tithes and offerings. Jesus sat where He could see them drop their money into the chests. He saw the poor casting into the treasury their small coins and He also saw the rich bringing larger coins. It is a solemn truth that he must eye always beholds the gifts of the people. We may be able to conceal them from the people, but we cannot conceal them from his eye. 2. A certain poor widow threw into the treasury two mites (v. 42). The mite was the smallest copper coin made. The mite was worth about one-eighth of a cent, therefore her offering was one-fourth of a cent in value. 7. Jesus said unto his disciples "Verily I say unto you that this poor widow hath cast more in than all they which have cast into the treasury" (v. 43). The Lord estimates gifts by the motive of the heart, not by their amount. 4. Gifts are measured by what the giver has left, not by what was given (v. 44). This widow cast into the treasury all that she had, even all her living. The rich gave of their abundance. Though their gifts were much more than that of the poor widow, yet they had an abundance left. This woman's influence goes on Many devoted Christians have followed her example and have given their all. On God's Presence Let us build our cottage so that every window may look out on the mighty Alps of God's presence; and that we may live, and move and have our being, beneath the constant im presslon, "Lo, God is here."—F. B. Meyer. Constantly this Jesus is putting himself into hand-touch. He is no distant helper, no far-off and simple lecturing teacher.—Dr. Wayland Hort. BY REV. J. W. HAYES SUNDAY, APRIL 24, 1928 Subj. "Why Should we Try to Make all People Christian?" Text Jno. 17 Christianity is the only hope of universal peace and a glorious life beyond. No man can make the most of his life who lives out of harmony with the God that made him. Christ died for the world that the world might be reconciled to God through Him. In our lesson Christ prays for His elects whom His Father had given Him and out of whose lives He got glory. His prayer is that they might be kept in the world and yet not be of the world. He asks that they might be one in Him. While He was in the world, they were kept in His Name and none of them were lost save the son of perdition. Now they are to be kept by the Holy Ghost thru faith unto salvation. He prays that the disciples might have joy through the Word, notwithstanding the world hated them because they had no fellowship with it. Christ also prayed that the church might be sanctified. His parley is for the church as it is and for the church as it will be. We should try to make all Christian because man was created for the glory of God and it is impossible for God to get glory out of his life unless he is in harmony with the will of God. We should strive to make all Christians because Christianity is a universal religion. It is the only religion that has an unchanging message to the whole world. The Christian program when properly rendered centers the attention of the world upon Him whom Isaiah declares to be the Prince of Peace: It places God first, others second and ourselves last. NOTICE!

He was always polite to women and elderly people, mischievous as all boys are, yet a good boy, when he leit here he was a rank sinner, too mean to live and not prepared to die, but now he is a Gospel minister, and Empor a joins in with Junction City, in saying: "Go on Rev Jones" preach the Gospel. It was the church in one on City, that Rev. Jones was converted, called to presen, and from Jumtion City, you have nothing of which to be ashamed, for this young man whom you sent out to preach the Gospel, is making a record in history for the S H. R. Dist., in fact the State of Kansas; any church looking for a pastor, will make no mistake in calling Rev. Jones. At 8 o'clock he lrought another soul stirring message that lifted us to a higher plane. Our Dist. Pres. Mr. O. Gary was with us and organized a Model B. Y. P. U. We pray that these two young men will visit Emporia, often. Young men, follow Pres. Gary and Rev. Jones. I say to them: May God bless you. CHEROKEE, KANSAS NOTES Evening Star Lodge No. 57—Sister Bell Fenney, passed from this life, April 12, 1928; joined the Eastern Star LodgeNo. 57 in 1915, and has since that time been a true and faithful member. She has served as Worthy Matrone with credit to herself and honor to the Stars. In the death of our sister, we have lost a faithful member, a link has been broken within our circle that can not be replaced. She was also a consistent member of Mt. Era Baptist Ch and pianist for the choir. The memory of her voice is all our lives can hold. Somewhere beyond the vale of tears, Her soul can sing, we're told; God lent her voice and talent with her to us. Ier to us, Till her earthly work was through; Then called her soul to Him That it might sing and play songs But each day in the year and We'll pray. MT. ERA BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. L. T.

Easter Sunday was much enjoyed in this community; notwithstanding the cold weather, the young social set enjoyed a splendid Easter Egg Hunt in the pasture owned by Mr. Welch, directed by Mrs. Minnie Humphrey and Mr. Dan Jackson. The reporter asks every one to hold his tickle box until he reads this article—Once there was a man traveling and being in haste to be at a city at a certain time, he ran over a hen; the owner of the hen ran out and stopped the man. He asked how much he owed for the hen, the owner said $2.00; but he said to the traveler, "you had better pay me $4.00 for there's a rooster at the house that is so crazy about this hen until he will die when he finds out this hen is dead.

SOME FAULTS OF THE RACE (as she goes it) First, superstitious ideas; you may notice the race has a superstitious belief of conjuration, spirits and witchcraft, believing some one can kill or hurt them some way without getting anything into the body. They say, they are living in a new day, an intelligent age; examine yourself and see if you are not letting some one fool you out of your hard earned wages by telling you that you are fixed, and they can unfix you. Some parents are teaching their children, who must shape the future destiny of the race, this simple idea. Can you see yourselves, especially you mothers and fathers? If you can't, read the next issue of this paper. The next thought will be, bad luck! If one forgets anything and turns back for it, you will notice they will make a ring and spit in it; they say if they don't do this, it will give them bad luck. If they stump their left foot, they will turn completely around. If any throw peanut hulls around the door, you will notice the superstitious person stop and kick them; they try never to step over a broom handle; they will let dirt multiply under the bed of a sick person, because they think it is bad luck to sweep under the bed. They try to never sit on a trunk for fear of disappointment; never sweep any one's feet or wash in the same dishpan or rub-together; not cut off another's finger nails for fear of breaking up friendship. They never build anything new to the old house, (just let it all fall down) What about yourself, are you in any of these superstitious habits? Don't they look simple (silly?) Bridle your tongue and notice for the article on talking. This article will be continued. The tongue is all right but we as a race, use it too much. Subscribe for this paper and see what next week's issue says about it. Marion C. Young who has been in Washington. D.

Prof. Wil- (Continued on page four.) Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting at Topeka, October 4-9, 1927 TO THE CHURCH AND PASTOR: My Lear Co-laborer: At the annual session of our State Convention held at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1827, 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 plan calls for $10,000 annually. The plan adopted at the Convention was that $7,000.00 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 mea $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 nd 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 l ad them forth in this much needed and business-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 Sec'y. and Sunt. of Missions. Who will be first to enlist as a Monthly Regular?

There is one big difference between Santa Claus and the transmission gang. We are every place at once, all right, but, we don't have any such soft proposition as having just one night marked on the calendar to do our stuff. It's every night and day in the year for us. Another place Santa Claus has it soft: Where he flits from cloud to cloud on an aerial sled, guided by the twinkling stars, we flop from mudhole to chuckhole in a lumbering truck, guided by the twisting lightning and the truck driver's instinct.

When the night is lovely and everybody is enjoying the evening in the family fluvver, we are generally trying to catch up with our lost sleep. But when the night is blizzardy and everybody is snoozing under warm blankets we are usually out in it, fixing a busted wire or a cracked pole. And on such nights, even when we are at home, we generally don't sleep much, having one ear tuned to the telephone bell and the other to the door bell, while one eye is glued to the bedroom lamp to see if it blinks and the other is on the pile of clothes arranged like a fireman's on a chair, for a "quick getaway." Twenty-four hours a day our superior officers know exactly where we can be located and at an instant's notice we are away at breakneck speed to locate the break and fix it, regardless of drenching rain, blinding snow, biting wind, or frostbite.
