OTYAWA IDEAS The fae Tees S. opened at the usual time, sson review by Bio. E, Crith. At the morning service, Rev, Fa- vors selected asa text, John 9:1-3, subject, “Manifesting the Works of God.” “During his discourse, the pastor raid, “Jesus took every occa- sicn of His short ministerial career, to do good. Ife had eyes thut were open to the needs of the people, He was a close observer, but did not seek the plaudits of men, People to- day are not usually concerned about wie blind, and the halt. We become fo selfish that God cant use us. So viten we ate merely sight seers, us we pass by, Jesus was not a sight- sear, but went about duing good. Many times we pass by the blind, aged, deciepit, and halt, Without be- ing concerned about them, All wround us are men and women who aie dy- ing because they do not know God. At we were concerned about the woiks of God, we would not be so concerned about the opinions of the “higher ups.” We find so many individuals today, always ready to place the blame on the other fellow—like the disciples in the Case of the man born blind, ‘We cannot educate or train our chil- dren out of sin, They must be ree gencrated. ‘The subject for the evening ser- vice: “How Christianity Spreads.” Acts 8:4.

NATIONAL “UNDERSTANDING RESTS ON AMERICA,” saya T. NINAN JACOB, At an International Dinner _epon- sored by the Christian Would Fduca- tion Committee of Spelman College, and attended by students from all of the Atlanta Negro colleges, Mr, T. Ninan Jacob of Travancore, India, rpohe on “Tagore Gandhi,” and inci- deatally made some striking com- ments on American education. Americans need to read more and meditate, concentrate on things of tne soul. “If I hed a voice,” said Mr, Jacob, “that would be heard over New York City, 1 would get to the top of the Woolworth Building and shout, ‘America, stop and med- itatel! After relating how Tagore invites to his school teachers of all national- itics, Mr. Mr, Jacob said, “My great- ast criticism of American education, fs the fact that Americans have the feeling back in their minds that they have cverything that Is best in the world. They invite people from abroad to study here. There is a program laid down by which all these people come to America and study and take back their ideas. asuwucre have I found the opposite, where they are invited to bring in ideas. America will lack if she does not make an attempt to understand others.” The undetlying principles which are exemplified by Gandhi are that all men can live together as brothers and that no great achievement can come thru the exercise of physical force. To the teachers in his school, Gandhi says “No amount of pain in- fiucted on the body will change a man trom the heart,” and in leading op- position to the tyranical regulations, Gandhi insists on practicing the aame principle, In conclusion, Mr. Jacob said, “On America, I beheve, resta the respon. mbility of exemplifying to the world that nations can get on together if only they understand each other. I am hoping in the years to come, when we take the trouble to under- stand and sympathize with other nations, we will find the solution, not only of our own problems, but of the world.” Talbert Br., Y.

These are my views and concep. tions of the New Testament Church, which is to the public and npen for criticism, constructive and destructive or favorable and unfa- Vorable. This article fs very op- fortune, because the church is be: Ing discussed the world over thru the Sunday School lessons, The people's minds are fresh and full with the term church, its meaning and mission in the world, It is be- Ing discussed from many angles, and understood in many ways. In our Sunday School lesson on March 3id, lesson, it in called “The Christian “Church.” How easily this name can be misunderstood and by the masses , of the people, because there is a denomination or Rama of & group of people, called "The Christian Church.” But the ntudents of the Bible and History, know that this is a wing from the Vresbytenian Church. But let us go back to the origin and authors of the church—Jesus used the word church once in Matt, 16:18, in ref- erence to the general or ‘spiritual church; and once in Matt, 18:27, in reference to the local or church on earth. The word in the Greek {s “ecclesia,” It is found 115 times in the New Testament and means “an assembly” “Those who are called vut;” out from what? From the world to Jesus. In g few places it fers to the spiritual church which is composed of all the redeemed in heaven and on earth, bound together oy.a curimen faith In Jesus Christ. In the majority of eases the word con,mumity, the local church. There is a general agreement among de- nominations as to the nature of the spi-itual church, But there are dif fcrenecs of opinions as to the nature ot tho local church, ‘The Missionary hold that the loeai church 1s to be compos*d of regenerated, baptiz:d Yelievers in Christ; while there are other denominations which would in- clude the children of believers and they who seek in the way of salva~ tion, But not so with the Baptist or the members of the New Testament Church. = 2 The Character of the Church—Je- sus sald, “I will build my Church,” Matt, 16:18-20, It was not to be a continuation of an ‘organization, al- ready existing,” but it was to be a new orgenization or institution. It is Divine in origin, since Jesus Him- self laid its foundation, it had to be Divine. Nothing but God fn it has saved it, during the centuries, No institution has been so violently at- tacked as the Minsionary Baptist Ch. {To be continued) There will be a Shamrock Tea at the home of Birs.

PRIMARY TOPIC—God's Day, Sunday. JUNIOR TOPIC—God's Day, Sunday INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Keeping the Lord's Day. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Lord's Day in Modern Life The designation "Christian's Sab bath" is a nounmeter. The word "Sab bath" has a definite meaning. It signifies rest, cessation from action. When God had finished the heavens and earth, he desisted from creative action (Gen. 2:18). Since God's creative work was completed in six days, he ceased from action on the seventh day, which was therefore called the Sabbath, or Rest Day. The definite objects may be assigned to the Sabbath: 1. To commemorate the work of creation (Gen. 2:3 cf. Ex. 20:11). 2. To keep alive the knowledge of the true God. Creation witnesses of a creator. Keeping the Sabbath in mind kept in mind the creation, and the creation made real the Creator. 3. A forward look to the time when man shall enjoy full fellowship with God (Heb. 4:1-10). 4. To Israel it was a sign of the covenant between them and God (Deut. 5:12 13). 5. It was made for man's well being (Mark 2:27). At least while man's earthly condition continues, the Sabbath is needed to keep a proper balance between his body and his soul. 1. The Fourth Commandment (Ex 20:8 11). 1. Obligations enjoined (20 9, 10) (1) Work through six days (v. 1) The command to work six days is just as binding as the command to rest the seventh day. In fact, there can be no rest unless there first be work. (2) Rest on the seventh day (v. 10) There must be cessation from all work on the Sabbath. Since God gave the example and then sanctified the day, it should be kept holy. It was not only to give relief to the physical body but to be a time when man's thought would be turned to God. It was designed to keep fresh in his mind the consciousness of God and His mercies. The human spirit should be refreshed by the study of God's Word. 2. How this commandment may be broken (1) By engaging in labor or pursuing business interests on this sacred day. (2) By devoting it to amusements since it was designed to keep fresh in mind the consciousness of God. (3) By making it a day of feasting. II. The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath (Mutt, 12:18). I. The hungry disciples plucking corn (v. 1). This took place on the Sabbath day and became the occasion for criticism. II. The horrors found in (v. 2). They asserted that Christ's disciples were breaking the law, when in reality they were only violating the traditions with which the law was enunciated. The Lord's purpose in instituting the Salibath was to conserve man's highest interest and contribute to his happiness. It is extremely unfortunate when human tradition is elevated above the Word of God. 3 Christ's reply to the cavils of the Pharisees (v. 18). In this reply He shrewdly answered the Pharisees and pressed His transcendent claim as to the dignity of His person. This claim moved them to plot His death. As to His claim observe: (1) He is greater than their greatest king (v. 3, 4). David, when rejected, was forced to do that which was unlawful for him to do (1 Sam 1). Because they had rejected the one greater than David, the plucking of the ears of corn became a necessity. (2) He is greater than their sacrifice and priesthood (v. 5). If the priests, because of their position and services, could violate the Sabbath laws and be blameless, much more the One greater than they in performing His work of sacrifice and redemption for them should be considered guiltless. He was the true sacrifice and priest. (3) He is greater than the temple (4, 6). The temple, with all its gor- gious rites and ceremonies, was typi- cal of Christ. Much more then did he have the right to do what he did. (4) He is greater than the Sabbath (7, 8). because he is Lord of the Sab Great Task of Happiness It was for the joy that was set before Him that our Lord endured the Cross, despairing the shame. The Joy of the Ascension is but an echo of the Joy of Bethlehem, and the task of Christ was one "great task of happiness." Love's sittings often precede life's sittings. He gifts to get rid of the chaff, and he lifts to gladden our hearts. - Selected. B. Y P. U. LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES. 615 P. W.ASH AVENUE How The Church Helps Us To Live The Christian Life.

And Isaiah 66:8 speaks of the Church as of a woman in travail. "For as soon as Zion travaille, she bringeth forth her children." A reasonable interpretation of these passages show that the Church is to the spiritual life of an individual what the woman, wife, and mother are to the physical life. The Church, as a woman, is a vital center of society. Whatever may be said of womanhood, the circle in which she is not, degenerates to the depth of sin. The Church is equally as indispensable to the life of the soul. She is the wife and bride of Christ. The highest honor and place of trust are given her. She is the highest exponent of purity. Since the Church is represented as woman, bride, and mother, she is to the spiritual child and family what the woman, wife, and mother are to the physical child and family. The Church helps our Christian life, therefore. In that, she brings forth, brings up, and sends forth her children to bless the world. No individual can exist independent of the family. Neither can the spiritual child come into existence, much less grow without the life and influence of the Church. QUESTIONS What is the Church to you? If the Church is the Bride of Christ, is He not insulted when we speak disparingly of His bride? What would you have been today without the influence of the Church? Or what would you be if all the influence of the Church were taken out of your life? Emporia Hearings ST. JAMES BAPIST CHURCH CORDYLA E. YOUNG, Reporter S. S. was opened at 9:45 by Supt. Bro. W. E.

Nearly all the teachers were present to take charge of their classes. We are very glad to say that since the drive for new scholars our school has increased considerably. The young men's class is still holding the banner. The young ladies class has been threatening to take it, but it seems that they are having a hard time doing that. Now that Spring is in the air we are hoping to in- crease to twice normal size. Blackboard demonstration was given by Mr. Fred Clark, which gave us something to think about. He is a very active young man in church work; Antioch will appreciate more young men like Mr. Clark. At 11 the pastor brought a sermon that was much enjoyed about the "church." The information was inspiring to all. At 3:00 the pastors and members of the various churches met at Antioch to ordain Rev. S. Jackson of the Central Baptist Church. Rev. Lockett of Mt. Carmel, preached the ordination sermon. The spirit was reigning supreme because all were made to feel the spirit. The president of the B, Y. P. U., was at his post at the usual time. The lesson was explained with much enthusiasm and interest. Ever Loyal gave the program of the evening; it was much enjoyed by all. Mrs. Brock the Faithful Guide of Shiloh Baptist Church was present, and gave an interesting talk, telling us of the program to be rendered in the City B, Y. P. U., by the Juniors. Sunday night the Pastor gave way and had a speaking meeting. Every one expressed him or herself, telling how the Lord had blessed them. The young people in Antioch are not asleep.

We know every Chris. tian will vote down the Sunday Movies. They would not think of using the Lord’s Day for worldly amusements and money making.

THE news reached'this office that they have caught Herbert Hadley, 16 year old bandit in Omaha, Nebr., and that he was in the act of rob- bing a house when caught; is being brought back here to face the charge of the cat bandit.

Our race has too much at stake and too long & rond to travel to not want every hindering cause removed that would in any way reflect or overe thadow its worth or stop its pro- gress, Wichita has been reasonably fair in all of its trials, and we are hoping the truth will be found In this case, whether it is for or against the boy caught. “Righteous. ness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people,” so we need to help conquer ain.

A position that oalls for the confidence and support of the pastors and chur- ches of our Convention, ET Tus ‘ ry 4 it aa gas dal ap) ' i 3 id j SS ey) } A a He Pe Peg <P 4 é i EF fis im \ BUNA goss i Cao Soa Si2gu 9 Fi 3 ’ Lea Nz yi} ae Hy Ui S EEA the Ae) ZX BEES SO: pes | ih ee ae il Grapefruit Juice—Electric Juice —They’re Twins at Your Table 4&8 It euch a fer ery from the huge electric pewer plant, wlth ite tiant Lemming turbines and dy- zamos, to your daintily spread Lreatfart table?

Your toast, now—of course you made It on an elcctric toaster, Mut that was by no means the first experience of this delectable morsel with the magle of electricity, When, as ruddy wheat grains, it was brought to the mill, {t repeatedly felt the touch of thet power—when {t was binned, sorted, milled, culled, bleached and sacked, and again Kansas Gasand ElectricCompany “At Your Service” . fam anxious to start right and hope that fam making no mistake In undertaking the task ro dear to tac Heart of God, My faith in God and my confidence in the Baptists of Kansas, cause me to consider the position; for I verily believe that the pastors and churches with thelr auxiliaries witl do their duty by the Missionary and Educa- tonal work of the State when they know the need. Since the State Convention at Leavenworth, In Oc- tober, our churches have not been {n- formed of the financial obligations of our Missionary and Educational Program; hence, we are many months behind in our work, We are in need of money to ald our Mis- stonary Pastors, who have been laboring in small fields and in rural places during these very hard winter months. We need money to pay the Dean of our Central Theological Seminaiy, Dr. E. L, Scruggs, who is doing a great work, training young preachers for efficient service as pastors. We are greatly in need of money to pay our loan obligations Lam asking therefore, each church and auxilary of the Baptist Con- \ention to send an offering to the office of the Executive Secretary, to meet these pressing needs. T hope all who read these lines will appreciate the Importance of acting now and help finance this woitt as in the past, © | If you have been sending your offering monthly or quarterly, start again—NOW, and make up your lost time. If you have not been sending an offering, will you begin? Our duty is clear; can we lose sight of self, for the larger interest of Kingdom Work? Let us thank the Lord for the past and resolve todo better inthe future. May we depen) uron yout Yours in the Master's Cause, G. N, JACKSON, Executive Secretary.
