Nearly every irreg- UuIny Noted oF con,piainea of was closely surveyed, and some saat ment or regulation was provided for, eeewi Nae One complaint heard from many quarters in Kansos City, was, per- haps justifiable: That too much of tue Conventions work was referred to the Board, and that in some cases, alter a committee had reported its ‘hndings someone changed the report and that this was done in some vital and important matters, It brings to mind the old injunction, “Those whom Baptists trust, must not de celve them.” Once Baptiste learn or they are made to feel they are being wronged, they will punish the cul- prits, real or imaginary, if it takes a revolution to do it, No more po- tent evidence of this can be found than in the upheavel in our Conven- tion in 1915. Because the late Dr. Boyd had succeeded in making a number of good men believe the Bap- tist churches-of this country were being greatly wronged by the incor- poration of the Nations’, Baptist Convention, He made it ck, and succeeded in pulling off the little groap—a split from the National Baptist Convention, which organized in Salem ae Church. Many have learned better and returned; but some remain out to this day, be~ cause of that delusion. I feel sure the president never intended to in or rey make @ creature more pow: erful than its creators, and anyone else attempting it has a good lesson rtill to learn. —WwIn—— NOW for our Golden Jubilee.

So, at its all at, it; all at it all the time, 1s the oy way to ensure the success that will hon- or the memory of our Bas tist fatha ers, and glorifl_God. —-WIN— Because of the tremendous propor- tions of our undertakings, and be- cause of Him in whose name and for whose sake we claim to be working, ‘we must remember that to attain success, we should pray unceasingly. “Prayer makes the darkened cloud withdraw; Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw.

I. Cor 3:4-9; Rom. 10:10-12. If the people compose these bodies are real Christians, the working together will be both easy and pleas ant. First of all they must be saved to work to save. Second, they must study the entire church program. Third, they must make a special study of the part which they are to play on the program. Fourth, they must have a passion to establish the kingdom of God on earth. Our text teaches that we are not to have respect of persons, only as efficiency in mind and soul makes it wise. Meh are God's instruments which He is using for the salvation of the world, and the most fitting instrument is that of which God makes use. Back of all real success, stands God. While we are to labour together, we are paid individually, according to his own labour. We are to have the spirit and mind of Christ, that we may be kind and affectionate to each other. Love, honor and prefer each other. We are to be fervent in spirit, patient in tribulation and continuous in prayer. THOUGHTS When we have the spirit of the Master before entering His service, working together is both possible and a pleasure. The Spirit of Christ suggests that we choose the man who can do the job and do it best. If organization is efficiency for service the organized should have the Spirit of service. When the main objective of all the organizations in the church is the salvation of the lost, working together will be as natural as breathing. Calvary Baptist Church REV. J. W. HAYES, PASTOR M.

JUNIOR TOPIC—Stories Retold INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Some Great Men of the Period YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Gods Providence in the Exile and the Restoration. The grade of the class, the aptitude of the scholars and the genius of the teacher are factors which determine the method of review. For adult classes the following suggestions are made: 1. Study the lessons of the quarter as illustrating the philosophy of history in God's dealings with His people in their captivity and restoration. As signage of topics should be made at least one week in advance. Only adult scholars should be expected to use this method. The following subjects might be assigned: Why God Permitted Israel to Go into Exile. What Changed Views of Life Resulted from the Exile. The Bearing of the Exile Upon Prophecy. The Relationship of Divine Chastening to Divine Love. II. Character Study. Assign the outstanding heroes of the quarter's lessons to members of the class to have them report. This as signement should be made at least a week in advance. Some of the outstanding characters for consideration are: Ezekiel, Daniel, Nehemiah, Ezra Zerubbabel and Malachi. III. Summary of Contents. This method is usable at all times and can be adapted to most of the grades. The following suggestions are made for carrying out this method: Lesson for July 7—Before Ezekiel was commissioned as a prophet he was given a vision of the Almighty. After this vision he was given an experimental knowledge of God's Word. Lesson for July 14—Ezekiel sets forth personal responsibility as bearing on the prophet and upon the people to whom he ministered. Ezekiel's responsibility was to hear God's Word and sound the warning. The people's responsibility was to hear and obey Lesson for July 21—Ezekiel is the prophet of hope. He ministered to Israel in captivity. God sent him to show to Israel the fullness of his plan for the world through them. Lesson for July 28—Because Daniel made the Lord the arbiter of his life he was able to make known the king's dream, with its interpretation. Lesson for Aug. 4—While Belshazar and his lords were engaged in drunken revelry, a mysterious hand recorded divine judgment. Lesson for Aug. 11—Because of lea- ousy certain wicked men plotted Dan- tel's downfall. They trumped up a charge against him on the ground of his foreign religion. Though the foal ish decree of the king was executed Daniel was delivered and his accusers were cast to the lions and destroyed Lesson for Aug. 18—Though Israel went into captivity as a chastisement of the Lord, later he restored them Lesson for Aug. 25—In the restor- tion of the people to their own land, the first thing necessary was the pro- vision of a place for the worship of God. As soon as this work was done, violent opposition was in evidence. That which God sets out to do shall be completed. Lesson for Sept. 1—Through Zerubbabel the people were brought back and established in their own land but they had gone for away from God. There was now need of a religious tender. Ezra was moved by the Spirit to lead them back to fellowship. Lesson for Sept. 8—When Nehemiah heard of the distress of his brethren in Jerusalem he took the matter to the Lord in prayer. The Lord gave him favor with the king, who permitted him to go back and build the walls. Lesson for Sept. 15—The method used in bringing back the people to God was God's Word. Because the Word was made plain the people repented of their sins. Lesson for Sept. 22—Shulachi na aid to Neheminh in effecting reforms pointed out the sins of the people, namely, base ingruditude, a corrupt priesthood, mixed marriages, and robbing God by withholding tithes. He pointed to a Day of Judgment when righteous retribution would be meted out to the wicked and rewards would be given to the faithful. Jesus Prophesieth His Death And Jesus went before them. And he took again the 12, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him, saying, Rehold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and the serviles, and they shall condemn him to death and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles, and they shall mock him and shall mourn him, and shall split upon him and shall kill him; and the third day to shall rise again — Mark 10, 32 to 34 BY REV.

If every one knew his duty at home, there would not be so many homes broken up, nor so many orphans and suffering children. I do not find the women as much at fault as I do the men for our sins and mistakes in life, for if the man would do his whole duty there would be more peace at home; if there is no love in the home before marriage, it will death unto life because you love the brethren. Now, if one loves his broaher, instead of trying to break up his home, he will protect it; one's duty to home is not only to care for your own home (yet that is a big job) but help your brother.
