U, LESSON Subject: “Thinking Things Through.” Text! Luke 14:25-30; Prov. 16:22-25. Our lesson suggests that we should be providential (took ahead and pro- vide for) see the road in front of us and the obstacles to be overcome, We are also told the shame of fail- ure. ‘Ihe man who fails is the ob- ject of mockery to give up in ace knowledged deteat, 1s to rob one- self of the inspiration which the #0- cial circle gives its heroes. The wortd scemingly delights to publish, without cost, our tailures. fortunately our sucecsses puvlish themselves. > Undersiending is an urfalng source of achievement without its failure is inevitable, Every word of a wise man is weighed, Its intrinsic value deter- mined and then it is sent forth to bless humanity, Things are not al- ways what they scem. The right way may scem wrong and the wrong way may seem right, but the steps of a cood man are ordered by the Lord. THOUGIITS Thinking 1s a time and energy saver, ‘Lhought rules the world, Ine thinkers are the wonder workeis The shortest distance between two points is straight thniners. Put more mind and spirit into your work, it requires less muscle and time. Plan your works and work your plan, any wisc, plan is. workable, An cance of brain is worth a ton of steak, Grant Chapel A.M. E. KEV. J. H.

Do you help anyone? Does the church or school know that you are in town? Do you give enough of your time, talent or money to attract God's attention. He saw the widow woman, and she shall not be out of sight again by God nor man. Do you look to get something for nothing? If you do, you are a good gambler, and will lose, even if you win. The world will soon get to the place, it will not even give you chance to even play in the game of life. Do you figure that you should not do what you urge others to do? They hear you, but they hesitate to see if you mean to be true and fair. They would rather have your deeds, than your excuses. Ignorance excuses no one but itself and is too dumb to even sympathize with its victim. It did not mean it thangway, but it did not know the other or true way. It is expensive and destructive and will dissolve the best of anything if it happens to get the power in hand. Wisdom is truth, and "safety first" is its motto.—Watch Your Steps. A COLLEGE EDUCATION is not the thing that shackles the owner of the sheep-skin. His struggles for success are often strangled by an unwarranted sense of superiority. IF A GAME OR PLEASURE will not lead one to nobler or higher things, then it is of no value. One should want to move up the scales of life. Time will take you down, and if you have not lived the noble, uplifting life, will soon be forgotten and counted unworthy of the time you have wasted. POWERFUL WAS THE WORKS of the wind last Sunday afternoon. Thousands of dollars' worth of property were destroyed, and some injuries in the city. Man had a chance to see his helpless conditions when the forces of Nature moves themselves. THE NEOSHO DISTRICT is preparing a wonderful entertainment for the messengers of the State Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Convention, June 11-14, at Ottawa.

Let every church in the State send at least one messenger from the Sunday School and one from the B. Y. P. U.

Mr. M. Livingston zeit the effects of the storm by returning home from church to find a cottonwood tree had blown across his house at 864 East 9th St. Mrs. Jewel Brown. Mrs. W. T. Mitchell, Mrs. S.

Wines in Hutchinson, May 30, for the Bethel A. M. E. Church, was a success in every way. Garden City Items MORE ABOUT THE CHURCH SALE GARDEN C11Y, KANS., June 6 We wish to say this regarding the sale of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, of April 24th 1929. There were more that oppressed the selling of the church than Mrs. G. P. Henderson and Mrs. Mart, but were not in the meeting, because they did not know of the inten- tion to sell the church. We note the $50.00 paid Mrs. Henderson repeated; this is the same $50 paid her in December, that was due her because of a loan made by her father to Ebenezer church, March 14, 1922. The church having stock in the Garden City Building and Loan which would mature Dec. 12, 1928 and would leave to the church, $50.00. This $50.00, they agreed to pay Mrs. Henderson, but in October, before it matured the church borrowed $50.00 from the loan to apply on Mrs. Bracken's fare and expenses from Calif., (the pastor's wife) Then in December, $100.00 was borrowed, $50.00 of this was paid Mrs. Henderson, on Dec. 17, 1928, and $50.00 was used on pastor's salary and other expense. Mrs. Henderson has a check showing that her fatner made this loan of $50.00 to the Ch. The sad thing about it, is, the church owes Mrs. Henderson several hundred dollars for her husband's services to the church, which they agreed to pay as they could, but not one penny of this debt has been paid. Mrs. Henderson has been under care of the doctor since April 21th, 1928. The only money she received since the sale of the church was $10 for five weeks' room rent for the pastor. Paid Pastor for salary..... $109.98 Grocery Bill ..... 24.98 Grocery Bill ..... 18.53 House rent ..... 13.00 Coal bill for church & Parson. 15.05 $9.50 paid Mrs. Hart for janitor work, and Mrs. Hart received nothing $35.00 was taken out to apply on the $40.00 paint bill for painting inside of the church. Soliciting papers were put in October for a $500.00 drive to repair Ebenezer Baptist Ch. The church and the public were looking forward to an improvement of the church, but were disappointed. In a business meeting the pastor announced the church $337.00 in debt motion was made to sell the church and pay the debt. It was sold for $325.00 This debt having accrued since October 16, 1923 with the exception of ten or twelve dollars and a part of that made since that time. Some of the members have not yet been consulted with regard to selling and uniting; the churches are not united, some have joined, the other church and some have not. Being in the same house does not put people together; and not all are in the same house. Conditions are now worse than they have ever been, as it was not done in a Christian way, and God must lead all things to be successful. Independence News. MAPLE STREET BAPT. CHURCH REV. CHAS. TEAL.
