The youths of the church had charge. Sunday School was well attended with a marked improvement last Sunday in numbers and finance. Pastor Branch moved off with a great theme Sunday at 11 o'clock: "Death and alienation of sorrows" Rev. 2114. He gave many strong points from this theme that helped us to know that it was only the small line of life issuing into the canon of eternity. The City B. Y. P. U., met here at 4 o'clock with a large number. The program was rendered by group No. 1, Shiloh and Mt. Sinal. Rev. Burton C. C. C., gave a helpful address on the theme, "Time To All Things." B. Y. P.

Scripture was read by Miss Nestine Graves, President of Junior Mission Society; Prayer by Mr. James McGary, Junior Pastor; Miss Gertrude Fountain held the audience with a paper, subject, "It's Not the Church, It's You." Many seniors of this church were able to see themselves as never before. The Junior Choir did justice to the occasion with song service.

Miss Coela FARMERS' CONFERENCE AT KAN. VOCATIONAL COLLEGE The Annual Farmers' Conference and the Sunflower Association met at the Kansas Vocational School, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, October 17, 18, 13. The conference is usual, had for its plan lectures on special subjects, entertaining features by the student body of the Kansas Vocational School and an exhibit staged by the farmers, the farmers' wives and persons living in and around Topeka. The Kansas Vocational School and school community had placed in the spectator room of the gymnasium, an exhibit of their own. The canned goods, garden products and needle work of the Kansas Vocational School Improvement Club, the special crystal art work and painted plaque work of Mrs. Eulala Freeman, teacher in the grades, the work of the sewing departments all served to demonstrate in vivid form the emphasis that the school is placing on vocational education. The Community Improvement Club, presided over by Mrs. Clement Richardson, boasted of some of the prettiest yards or the state, the best gardens and best poultry that the school has ever known. The club members canned among themselves more than five thousand qts. of fruit and vegetables during the summer. On the gymnasium floor proper, was the exhibit of the farriers and workers of the State of Kansas, among the art and needle work was a display of Floyd Martin, of Topeka, who had already won ribbons at the State Fair and other places, Mrs. Susie V. Bouldin, of Kansas City, Kansas, also brought a very large exhibit of art work representing her art studio. It was the decision of all judges that the farm products, garden products, poultry and needle work had all greatly improved in quality. Much greater taste, so the judges averred, had been shown in the selection and arrangement of the articles at the fair. Competition was exceedingly keen in many instances. Persons who had followed the fair for years, however, knew how to prepare and what to prepare and want to prepare to win prizes and these carried off some enviable large premiums. Brown made, for herself a fame in an oration, "subject, "Not Even" but Dawn." In this oration Miss Brown helped many to see that the sun of our lives are just rising with millions of opportunities waiting ahead. Pastor Branch delivered an Educational Sermon to the Junior Church, stressing many points on the education of the youth. One strong point was that any parent who failed to prepare their children are robbing them of their just rights. Miss Ovetta Ransey of Calvary gave the last address on "How Young People become to be Saved." Miss Ransey has great knowledge of the plan of salvation, and the same was brought out in the address. Miss Elizabeth Tandy is to be commended for her loyal support to our church. The Antioch Baptist Church is the home of all strangers. Miss Tandy learned this aml is now a loyal supporter of the church. MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH 803. Golden, Avenue. Mt. Zion is going forward with rejoicing under the leadership of the Pastor, Rev. W.

The question box at the young people's meeting, Friday evening, Oct. 26th, proved to be very interesting. The Halloween entertainment given at the home of Mrs. Taylor for the benefit of the Mission Circle was a success. The Comical costumes caused much laughter. All present reported a very pleasant time. Fried chicken, sandwiches, cider and doughnuts were served by the committee. No one can measure the good that has been done by the increase in attendance at the mid week prayer services. the chicken dinner given Friday, Nov. 3, by the women of the church, was an occasion of merriment and delight, despite the fact, the weather was very rainy and chilly outside. A total of $22.30 was realized from the dinner. A total for the week of $200.01. Committee, Mrs. W. A, Jackson Mrs. R. Taylor Mrs. J. Harris Mrs. Thompson Mrs. Lankford Deacons Harris and Taylor.

It seems that it has been a habit with many of our people to criticize anything that is religious; they criticize religious services. Seemingly, they contend that where they contend is that new methods should be adopted for churc services, the present ones are too cut and dried; they get tired of singing, praying and preaching one Sunday after another, "we don't get anything out of it," they say. But it appears that the double is not with the service nor the religion, but with the individual. why waste time talking about the faults of the preacher? What we want to do is pray for him, and develop a religious attitude within ourselves. Of course the sermon means nothing to us if we are not in a receptive attitude; as one writer has said: "Let us lay aside the argument as to whether or not Christ turned water to wine and live up to His teachings." None of us can say that His statement, "Love thy neighbor as yourself" is useless or inadequate, after all, it is not more form and ceremony, we want instead to live better in this world, we want to live in harmony with our fellowman. Nothing in the history of mankind has seemed any stronger tle than religion. No one can get it for you, you must get it for yourself. Let us stop criticizing the church chapel, Junior auxiliaries and the preachers: let us turn to ourselves, keep silent, criticisms don't help our pastors any—a praise will help them and make them feel better to serve you; the church services will be more alive, then we will get something out of the sermon, we will enjoy the church services, we will have a desire to go to church. A few minutes a day in meditation will revive us; we will find this meditation renews our strength, hope and encouragement, religion will then become a part of us, a necessity in our lives Salina News Items Rev. M. J. Smith Pastor of St John Baptist Church, beached 11 oclock Sunday morning; Services again at 8 p.m., Communion was administered. There were several visitors in attendance, among them was Dr. H.

Easter was called to Atchison, on account of the illness --- SMOKY HILL RIVER HOLDS BOARD ABILENE, KANSAS, was at its best last week, entertaining the quarterly board, with Moderator G. T. Raimey, and his auxiliaries all on duty, helping to put over a great program for the Master. Their Theme was, "Love." Every song, paper, address and the institute work by Rev. B. L. Marchant, was very good. The soul must have been made fat at this feast table of spiritual and intellectual good things, so well prepared and served to the edifying of the Saints. Mrs. O. E. Jackson was present and took care of the S. S. part, Mrs. M. D. Jones took care of the B. Y. P. U., Miss Lela Grimes took care of the Red Circle Girls and Rev. J. W. Johnson took care of the Ministers and Deacon Union. Rev. G. T. Raimey, the Moderator kept harmony in everything. Mrs. Wm. Harrison's home was used to serve, and everything was so comfortable and appetizing, and all seemed happy. They welfed the body while the messengers fed their minds and souls with wonderful programs. Here we enjoyed three days of pleasant work. AMERICAN LEGION The Kansas Department, of the American Legion, has appointed J (three) colored men on the State Membership Committee. They are Dr. Payne Butler of Coffeyville; S. C. Moody of Topeka; and W. L. Hutcherson of Wichita. It is the purpose of this Committee to put new life and spirit into the existing posts. To organize new posts, where there are sufficient men for an organization, and to relate isolated men to the legion. The Department of Kansas has been very generous in its recognition of the Colored Service Men. They elected a colored man as delegate to the Paris Convention, 1927. Every courtesy is shown the Negro service men at the State Meetings. Therefore, the Negro men of the state who are eligible, should get into the Legion. All that has been done for the ExService man has come about through the influence of the Legion. The State Slogan: "If you were in the army, you belong in the Legion." M. B. Talbert Y.W.C.A.

Paul's Vow (21:19:23). Upon Paul's arrival at Jerusalem representatives of the church there gave him a most cordial reception. In order that the brethren in Jerusalem might graciously receive him, it was proposed to him by the elders that he take a Jewish vow to prove that he was in no way opposed to the law. The effort was to remove prejudice. How far this act concluded the Christian Jews we are not told, but it only enraged the unbelieving Jews, causing them to resort to mob law. These muddened Jews on the basis of a supposition seized Paul, dragged him from the temple and beat him mercilessly, intending to put him to death. Paul was rescued from the mob by the Roman guard. The chief captain, not being able to get any information from the howling mob bound Paul and started for the enslave in order to protect him, the soldiers lifted him upon their shoulders and bore him up the stairs. III. Paul's Defense (22:127). Paul's chief concern was not his own safety. He used this last oppor-tunity of witnessing for Christ. 1. His just claim for a hearing (vv. 13). (1) His birth (v. 3). He was Jew-born in Tarsus, a city of no mean reputation. (2) His education (v. 3). He was educated in a school under the tutorship of Gamaliel and instructed "according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers" (3) His zeal (v. 3). He was as realous toward God as those Jews who were trying to destroy him 2. His former attitude toward Jesus (vv. 4, 5). "I persecuted this way unto the death," so that his attitude was one of hatred as was that of the Jews. 3. How his attitude was changed (vv. 610). This change of attitude was brought about by the intervention of God. While on his way to Damascus with authority to bring the Christians to Jerusalem to be punished, Paul was snitten to the ground by a light from heaven, and the voice of the Lord said, "Why persecutest thou Me?" When Paul inquired as to what he was to do, he was told to go into Damascus where he would be told what to do. Ananias was sent by the Lord to make known his will. 4. The Lord commissioned him to go to the Gentiles (v. 17-21). It was not of his own will that he preached to the Gentiles, but by the Lord's direct commission. IV. Paul Before the Sanhedrin (23:1-10). The Roman officer, in order to learn why Paul was arrested, commanded the chief council to assemble, and brought Paul before them. 1. Paul's earnest look at the council (v. 1, 2). This was a solicitation of their hon or to give him a fair hearing, and also a look of conscious integrity and unfallering courage. 2. Paul's stern rebuke of the head of the council (v. 3). "God shall smile thee, thou whiled wall." This was a just sentence, no doubt directed by the Lord. Paul showed that he had the highest respect for the office, but the man then occupying it was not worthy of it. 3. Paul's appeal to the Pharisees (v. 6, 10). Seeing that he could not get a fair hearing, and perceiving that the body before him was made up of Pharisees and Sadducees, he appealed to the Pharisees for his preaching and some thing in common with their belief. V. The Lord Stood by Paul (v. 11) V. The Lord Stood by Paul (v. 11) He was in great need of grace to sustain him. He may have begun to question the wisdom of his going to Jerusalem, but this assured him that his course was right, and thus comfort was brought to him. VI. The Conspiracy to Kill Paul (iv. 1S22). More than forty men banded to gether for the purpose of getting Paul out of the way. This plot was known to Paul's sister's son (v. 10), who reported it, and thus doubtless saved the apostle's life.

W. HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue PROFESSIONAL INDEX BY REV. J. W. HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue 1 Peter 4:7-11 A steward is one who is intrusted with the goods of another. Every saved man is a steward of God. Time, talent, money, property and life are trusts from God. What use are we making of them and what will be our returns to Him. The practice of stewardship would be the solution of the church's financial problem. It would mean the conquest of our missionary struggles; the solution of our educational problems; the solving of our financial problems, in every walk of human uplift. In other words, if the Christians (so-called) were honest the church could turn her attention to her God-given task which is to bring to Christ; build up in Christ and send forth for Christ, rather than spend her strength with more material things, which matter little as compared with the things which matter most. The text calls attention to the fact that the end of shadows and types has come and the day of grace is here. We are therefore, admonished to be sober; to be watchful; to be prayful; to be charitable; to be hospitable; to be revicable; to be a speaker for God. Those who live in the day of grace to be prayerful; to be charitable; to will have the greater responsibility. QUSTIGNS Is a man any more honest who misuses the goods of God than the man who misuses the goods of his neighbor? What do you consider an honest man? Do you believe in Stewardship? Do you believe in Tuthing? What are the objects for which the title should be spent? Of whom do you think first when you receive your wage; your creditor, yourself, or your God?
