DOUGLASS, Is one of our most successful pastors and under his efficient supervision, the St. Mary Baptist Church, is nearing the completion of a beautiful edifice on the corner of 12th St. and Watash Avenue. It is an established fact that under his pastorate this church has grown to the largest membership in the city. Iliis membership seems to be cheerful and working hard in every department. Plans are being laid for a greater year. WORTHY OF THOUGHT —In a very interesting paper on the subject, "The Colored Woman and Her Relation to the Domestic Problem," Miss Sarah Green, of the Maryland Norman School, makes this interesting observation. "The race whose women, have not learned that industry isn't self-respect are the only guarantees of a true character will find itself bound by ignorance and violence or fettered with chains of poverty. There is a tendency among us to almost abhor women who work at service for a living. Our 'high-toned' notions as to the kind of positions educated people's ought to fill have caused many women who can get nothing to do after they come out of school to loaf rather than work for an honest living. Fidelity to duty rather than the grade of one's occupation is the true measure of character." THE INTERCOLLEGIAN . PETER H.

Harris, Mrs. Bell WICHITA, KANSAS, THE DEVIL'S BEST TOOL FOR SALE SUBJECT: "THE DEVIL GOING OUT OF BUSINESS." It was once announced, that the devil was going out of business and would offer all tools for sale to whoever would pay his price. On the night of the sale, the tools we all attractively displayed and a bad looking lot they were—Mance, a ted, easy, jealousy, sensuality and decit—and all the other implements of evil spread out; each marked with its price. Apart from the rest lay a harmless looking, wedge-shaped tool; much worn and priced higher than any of them. Some asked the devil what it was. That is discouragement, was the reply. Why do you have it priced so high? Because, replied the devil, it is more useful to me than any of the others. I can pry open and get inside of a man's consciousness with that when I could never get near him with any of the others; and once inside, I can use him in whatever way suits me best. It is so much worn because I use it with almost everybody, as so very few people are yet know that it belongs to me. It hardly need be added that the devil's price for discouragement was to high that it was never sold—he is still using it. REV. JAS. WILSON, Christmas Cft!—114 S. Willow St. Ottawa, Kansas.

Dec. 30, 1923 I can truthfully say that I have suffered for 11 (eleven) years with bladder trouble, also goitre. I have suffered with great agony, right and day. I have been under treatment of the very best doctors in St Joseph, Mo., both white and colored. I found no relief. After coming to Olathe, Kansas, I have been under treatment of Kansas City doctors, my condition became worse. I can truthfully say, I began taking Dr. Author's Indigestion Tonic. I have found great relief. I have found nothing to take the place of this wonderful toris. I am glad to tell every one that suffers with these troubles, to write to Dr. Author, £10 Iottawa St. Manhattan, Kansas. MPS. LOUISE BLACK. Y. M. C. A. NOTES The Past Presidents of the Booker T.

Sunday School Lesson (By REV P R H FITMATFR, DD, Member of Faculty, Western Bible Institute of Chicago) © 1830, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for January 5 THE CHILDHOOD OF JESUS LESSON TEXT—Matthew 1 1-2 22 (Print Matt. 2 10-22) (POINT MARK 2 10-22) GOLDEN TEXT—Thou shalt call his name Jesus for his shall save his people from their sins PRIMARY LIFE—God's Care of Jesus When a Child JUNIOR TOPIC—God's Care of Jesus When a Child INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How the Child-King Was Received YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Childhood of the Saviour-King The central theme of Matthew is Jesus Christ the King, the fulfiler of the Messianic hope. In harmony with this preeminent theme, Matthew first deals with the all important question of His genealogy, for His right to occupy the throne of David must be es established. The royal covenant was made to David (II Sam. 7:916, cf. Acts 2:30- 32). In harmony with this, the first verse of Matthew's record constitutes a key to the book. 1. The Birth of Jesus, the King (1:19-25). 1. The Saviour was to be the seed of a woman (Gen. 3:15), the son of a virgin (Is. 7:14) This was fulfilled in the birth of Jesus. The genealogy (Matt. 1:1-17) shows His legal right to the throne, but something more is required in order to be the Saviour from sin He must be both human and divine (Is. 9:7). The Saviour was begotten by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary, thus becoming Immanuel, which in its fullness means, "God with us, God for us, and God in us." II. The Childhood of Jesus, the King (2:1-23). 1. Wise men from the Last seeking Israel's King (vv. 1.2). The King's reception was most heartless. His own nation received Him not, His advent was heralded by a star which guided men of a foreign nation to seek and worship Him pouring out their gifts to Him. These men were Persian or Arabian astrologers—students of the stars. Their attention was attracted by the appearance of an unusual star. Through the influence of the Jews who remained in Chaldea, or the direct influence of Daniel extending to this time, they had become acquainted with Israel's hope as to the Messiah. 2. Herod seeking to kill the King (vv. 3-8; 10-18). The news brought by the wise men struck terror to Herod's heart. He was not alone in this, for all Jerusalem was troubled with him. The news ought to have brought joy, but a glimpse at the social customs in and about Jerusalem of that day enables us to understand why this news brought uneasiness to the people They were living in the greatest luxury, Fine dress, sumptuous feasts, fine houses and other luxuries led to gross immoralities. This is why Herod and Jerusalem were troubled. A Saviour who would save them from their sins was not wanted. Their desire was to continue in them. Herod demanded of the priests and scribes information as to where Christ should be born. The fact that they were able to tell him so promptly shows that they had a technical knowledge of the Scriptures, but not a heart for the Saviour set forth therein. We face similar conditions today. This all occurred in Jerusalem, the city of the King, the place of all places where He should have been welcome. When the wise men returned to their country by another way, Herod slew all the male children two years of age and under in Bethlehem and its coasts. 3. The King found by the wise men (vv. 9-12). The wise man having obtained the desired information, started immediately to find the King. As soon as they left the city, the star as it guided them in the East, appeared again to lead them on. Not that it had disappeared from the sky, but the dwellings of the city no doubt shut out the sight of it. Frequently, spiritual vision is obscured by the things of this world. 4. The King protected (vv. 17-23). (1) Flight to Egypt (vv. 13-15). To escape Herod's wicked aim, God directed Joseph to take Mary and the child Jesus and flee to Egypt. In obedience to the heavenly vision, he went and remained there till Herod's death. (2) Return to Nazareth (iv. 1923) Upon the death of Herod, the angel of the Lord directed Joseph to take Jesus and His mother and go into the land of Israel. By divine direction, he returned to Galilee and dwelt at Nazareth. Kind Words Kind words can never die because they are expressions of God's love.

In God's Atmosphere of Love When we are living in God's atmosphere of love He notices our cry for help, though soft as a whisper or as a touch on a garment's hem — Dr. F. B. Mejer. Centralia, Missouri (Continued from page one) Thursday evening Board Meeting; Friday evening the annual church meeting and reports from all auxiliaries. Xmas guests of Mrs. Cassie Harris were Mr. and Mrs. Obie Rogers, Mr. and Mrs. Talton Rogers and family. Mr. Tom Viley is in Montgomery, Mo, visiting friends. Mrs. Bessie Hayes of Mexico, Mo, was guest of her mother last Tuesday evening. The Lord has wonderfully blessed and preserved Mt. Olive in 1920. He has brought it safe thus far without harm or danger; yet the church has had its disappointments but there were a few faithful members who held their heads above the waves and cried to the Lord and He heard them and delivered them. The Ch. has covered a large territory the past four months under leadership of the present pastor, who was a former pastor of 1st Baptist Church N. Lawrence, and spent five years in Western Baptist College, at Kansas City. He has made many friends and as the new year arrives Mt. Olive's new program will arise. The Lord is expecting the church to do greater work and more work in 1930. We must do it and we are going to do it. The greater the church, the greater its program. The pastor is calling for more true hearted members. We don't want any slackers in our 1930 program as we are on business for the King. The Baptist family must take the world for Christ. Our real task is to win to Christ. To win and save the whole through the atoning grace. To redeem the whole being from sin to the Kingdom and service of God. Who must do this great task? The Baptist must do it. Win is a strong Scriptural word; it implies that the world by nature alienated from God, and it must be won back to God. The hunter's craft, literally means, ensnared, taken alive, sinful souls are alienated from God, and must be ensnared, and taken alive and delivered back to God. The Baptist family is largely responsible for this great ensnareth or taking the world for Christ. As Mt. Olive is a part of the family of Baptist, it has its task of winning to Christ. It is not free from its obligatons to God and to its fellow man and to the world. We must work the work of Him who sent us while it is day because when the night cometh no man can work. Oh! May the church lift up its eyes and see the great field that is white and is ready for harvest, and send workmen out to harvest. May no one say no, but say, here am I send me; send me, in thi nesw year. Mt. Olive hope for everyone a Happy New Year. Rev. I. N. Blake, the pastor of the A. M. E. Church of this city, went to Hillsdale, to hold his Christmas service, and will return this week. A. B.

NOTABLE ARRESTS OF WEEK Jack Fairman—Is an independent dealer and was caught making a delivery of two gallons of whiskey. He is an ex-convict. Poindexters—Are a bunch of colored bootleggers that were run out of Oklahoma for selling whiskey. We have been having trouble with this bunch for about six months. Have caught some of the family several times. One of these men jumped through a window with a gallon of whiskey in an earthenware crock. Deliah Willis----002 North Water This is another colored bootlegger and she has been doing a good business We caught her with a quantity of whiskey when we raided. W. Spradlin—Has been running a brew flat at his home. When we raided he had 142 pints of brewand equipment for making it in wholesale lots. We raided a house at 708 North Meade, and after a lot of hard digging we managed to uncover an enormous lot of Marihuana, some of which was shredded and ready for sale, and the other was still on the stem. This may stop a lot of this smoking, as we have evidence that there were a number of people purchasing this weed from these Mexicans. C. W. WILSON, Chief of Police, H. L.

ELIAS, Pittsburg, Kans. B. Y. P. U. LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue WHY PRAY FOR OTHERS? Acta 2:39; James 1:5-7; James 5:1318- We should pray for others because it is a Divine Command: "Pray for one another." When we think prayerfully of others, we not only enlarge our vision but deepen our interests in our fellowman and our love for him. We should pray for others because often their needs are greater than ours. Their material, mental and spiritual needs all may be greater. They may have greater responsibilities, gretaer temptations, greater suffering. Praying for others creates a right attitude toward them and a more serious attitude toward the determiner of destiny. We should pray for others because it is often all that we can do. THOUGHTS It is much more Christian to pray for an enemy than to knock him. Even before everything else fails, try prayer; it will save time. I had rather have the privilege of Communion with God than all other privileges known to man. I thank God for a straight line to the Throne. No one can listen in. M. B. Talbert Y.W.C.A.
