Roll ANNOUNCING I take the pleasure in re-commending Rev. B. J. Davidson, whom I have known for many years and whom it is my good fortune to know as a conscientious, painstaking, and industrious minister perhaps, when I say, I have never known a minister, who was more interested in the we fare, uplift and building of his Ch., than Rev. B. J. Davidson, I speak the truth. Rev. B. J. Davidson is a regular church builder; he seems to have a patent upon the same. He seems to know just what he wants to do and then he does it. He is a fine man and a church man with a fine personality; pleasant and always easy about his church, never complaining—just a splendid, intelligent minister, who wants to do the right thing. I have noted at many times that fine personal and dignified characteristic that should be placed in a minister. Then I note the care and the neatness of the man; then I note that same neatness, cleanliness and as peculiar as it may seem, ever dressing up for the appearance of his church and its work. If I should write in this recommendation for an hour I could not say more than that Rev. B. J. Davidson is a Minister of the Gospel and a Church Builder, careful in keeping things together. Always allowing himself to be interested in the Uplift of the Church and the finance of the church and leaving himself to be the last to be served, knowing full well that if he measures and builds the church, he will be built. I fully recommend him in any and every place, as an honest Christian man and an upright and splendid minister; an excellent builder and a complete master of the vocation he seeks—always able to meet the requirements of life. Pleasantly yours, T. W. BELL, Lawyer. call Afterwhich Mrs. Crisp served a delicious luncheon. Mrs. A. D. Crisp spent Sunday in Wichita, with cousins. Mrs. P. F.

(BUD) WILSON ON JOB FORTY YEARS, While Not Actually Retiring, Has Decided to Take Life Easier, Active in Church and Political Activities OTTAWA, KANSAS The metallic ciang of iron against iron, oftimes continued until long after midnight, came to be a familiar during its 40 years of persistency, to the residents of the "four hundred" block on North Main Street. It spelled a fortune for the industrious citizen whose muscular right arm swung a blacksmith's hammer with mechanical rhythm against the glowing steel that interposed between hammer and anvil. All of which is by way of introduction of John II. (Bud) Wilson, colored, blacksmith, realty man, politician and churchman whose rise to prominence and affluence is an object lesson in qualities, to be emulated by youth and advancing manhood. Kept Step With Progress Forty years ago Mr. Wilson, in association with his brother Meridith Wilson, opened a modest blacksmith shop at 421 North Main street, an occupation that has been continuous on the same site with J. H. Wilson in charge, ever since. The original shop was equipped with a single fire and anvil but was soon doubled in capacity, and has continued to grow slowly and with strict regard to the requirements of its custom, keeping always in step with the trend of modernity. In the early days horse-shoeing and general blacksmithing constituted the operation of the shop, but with the coming of the automobile and the gradual elimination of the horse, Mr. Wilson adapted his shop to the new conditions, adding modern equipment with which to take care of his host of customers and persistent patrons under the new requirements. He also installed machinery for building over plows and other farm machinery, and now has a complete establishment for repairing and reconstructing modern vehicles and farm machinery. His, is now the oldest shop in Ottawa. A Leader of The Race Through his energy and industry, and the application of a fine business sense, Mrs. Wilson has acquired a comfortable fortune that is represented in city realty holdings. These include a modern home of the best class at 631 North Main Street, several other residence properties of good class, and a number of excellent revenue-producing business properties. He has also found time, while attending closely and successfully to his business interests, to take prominent part in the social activities of the city. He is a member of the A. M. E. church of which he has been a trustee and class leader for 20 years, and is connected with various fraternities. A life long Republican, he has given much of his attention to the furtherance of the policies of the party, and for a number of years has been chairman of the co-lored Republican club of the city. He has been called on several times to serve on the city and county delegations at state conventions of the party. Children All Educated Mr. and Mrs. Wilson have made special effort to secure the best possible educational advantages for their fine family of six children, with excellent results. One son, Claudio Wilson is a mechanical engineer at Prairie View, Texas; another son, Leon Wilson is teacher of chemistry and mathematics at Langston Industrial Institute, Langston, Oklahoma and a third, Lloyd Wilson is taking a course in manual training at Pittsburgh Teachers' College with the purpose of becoming an instructor. The eldest daughter, Mrs. Leta Allen, who for seven year had been a teacher in the public schools at Denison, Texas, is now conducting her household at Denver. Miss Freida is a dreammaker here, and Mrs Cosetta is attending High School. Mr. Wilson, though still in the prime of life—he has not yet passed Five Cents Per Copy. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN! TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: The Leavenworth Ministers' Association in its regular meeting of February 5, 1930 by formal action, instructed the secretary to write an expression of the character and work of the Rev. B. J. Davidson, pastor of the Independent Baptist Church, whose leaving our city we deedly regret. As a group of ministers, we have learned to love Brother Davidson, because of his gentlemanly demeanor, his fine Christian Spirit, and his genuine interest in the mutual problems and work of the minister, and the churches of our city. We are also in glad recognition of Rev. Davidson's outstanding achievement in his own congregation. During the six years of his ministry here he has completely rebuilt an old church building into practically a new house of worship. This church is substantially built, beautifully built, beautiful in appearance, modern in equipment, and elegantly furnished. Adjoining the superintendent the erection of a modern parsonage. And all property and improvements are fully paid for, and the congregation has prospered spiritually. In addition to being a wise executive and leader, Mr. Davidson is a faithful pastor and an earnest preacher of the Holy Word. Naturally we feel that he possesses those qualities which should recommend him to the fellowship of any congregation meeting the services of a minister. In saying farewell, we wish our brother God's blessing, and abundant success in his new field of labor. We hope the church he leaves will be led by the Holy Spirit in calling an able man to take up the work he lays down. Members' Names—Rev. J. B. Clyde D. D. Presbyterian; Rev. F. R. Berry' Rev.

"I'll not say that I am going to retire, but I expect to take things considerably easier," he smilingly referred to a cuisier. Improved Uniform International SundaySchool Lesson (By REV P B FITKWATEN DII, Member of Faculty, Mouster Bible Institute of Chicago.) (C 1930, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for Merch 2 JESUS TEACHING ABOUT HIMSELF LESSON TEXT—Matthew 11:2-12 bn GOLDEN TEXT—Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. PRIMAIO TOPIC—Jesus the Friend of All JUNIOR TOPIC—Jerus the Great Helper INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Who Jesus Was YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Our Lord's Testimony Concelling Himself. 1. How the Kingdom Was Received (ch. 11). In showing the attitude of heart of the people, four classes of hearers are described. 2. The perplexed hearers, like John the Baptist (vv. 211). John believed that Jesus was the Christ (v. 2), but was somewhat perplexed as to the manner of the establishment of the Kingdom. The Tapist had in his preaching mainly omphasized the time of prophecy which made the King to be a mighty conqueror (Mutt. 3:10-12). He said that the ax is laid unto the root of the tree and that there was to be a separation of the chaff from the wheat and a burning of the chaff. John saw Christ as the one who would remove the slims of the people by the shedding of His blood (John 1:29) but he failed to see the interval between the time of His suffering and the time of His triumph. These were willing to receive the kingdom according to their own way, but were unwilling to conform to its laws. They sided it with violent hands. They would not repent when called upon to do so by John, nor rejoice to do so when called upon by Christ (vv. 17 19). 3. The stout hearted unbelievers (vv. 20-24). In Chorazin, Bathsida and Opernaum, Christ had done most of its mighty works but the people deliberately set their hearts against Him and His message. Tyre and Sidon were filled with immoral profligates and idolators but they will be more tolerably dealt with in the Day of Judgment than will those who willfully reject Jesus Christ. 4. Hearers who are babes in spirit (vv 25-30). There were some among the people who heard Jesus with childlike faith. They believed that Jesus was the Messiah and opened their hearts to receive Him. 11. The Antagonism to Jesus (ch. 12). In chapter eleven we saw the shameful indifference of the Jews to their King. In this chapter we see the positive and bitter antagonism manifesting itself against Him. The immediate occasion of their wicked determination was Christ's relation to the Sabbath. 1. The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath (vv. 1-8). The hungry disciples were plucking corn on the Sabbath. With this the Pharisees found fault. To their cauldis Christ replied, and showed that God purpose in instituting the Sabbath was to serve man's highest interests and to contribute to his happiness. (1) He is greater than their greatest King, David (vv. 3, 4). (2) He is greater than their sacrifice and priesthood (v. 5). (3) He is greater than the temple (v. 6). The temple, with its gorgeous rites and ceremonies, was but typical of Himself. (4) He is greater than the Sabbath (v. 9), for He is the very Lord of the Sabbath. 2. Healing the withered hand (vv. 9, 14). In order that they might accuse Him, they naked, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath days?" Jesus' reply was both a question and a declaration 3. The unpardonable sin (vv. 22,32). The occasion of their blasphemy against the Holy Ghost was the casting out of the demon. In this act, Christ displayed His power to cast out demons. The effect of this miracle was twofold: (1) Upon the multitude. They were amazed and cried out, "Is not this the son of David?" (2) Upon the Pharisees. When they heard what the people were saying, their anger and satanic milieu were aroused. They said He was casting out demons by the prince of the demons. With unanswerable logic, He met their accusations and demanded decision. He charged home upon them their awful gulit. They had attributed the work of the Holy Spirit to the devil. This Christ calls the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, for which there is no pardon. The Last Step Wins It is the last step that wins, and there is no place in the pilgrim's progress where so many dangers turk as the region that lies hard by the portals of the celestial city. It is when heaven's heights are full in view that hell's gate is most persistent and full of deadly peril.—A. H. Simpson. Stability and Sincerity Stability and sincerity go together. A true Christian will hasten from wrong—John Timothy Stone. SUNDAY, MARCH 2, 1930 Subject: "What is Involved in Deciding for Christ?" Text Rom. 10.8-15. "How can we hear without a preacher?" We must hear, believe, and confess, if we would be saved, the lost must be convinced, convicted, converted and then confess. "It is that cometh to God must be leve that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him." Here we have intellectual faith leading to God and evangelical faith, laying hold upon Him. Both the intellect and heart are at their best in the plan of salvation. Neither race nor blood hinder or help; it is the attitude of the mind and soul of the seeker. The sinner must hear, repent, believe and confess. In order to do that there must be a messenger sent from God with the message of salvation. THOUGHTS. Each step must be taken in the p'an of salvation. A change of heart is essential to redemption. Each true minister is sent from God. The hardest preparation to preach is the preacher's own soul. In building our spiritual house let us put in all the specifications for which the plan calls. The decision for Christ must be personal. Caivary Baptist Church REV. J. W. HAYES. PASTOR M. LIVINGSTON. REPORTER. At 9:30 S. S. was opened with the Supt., Mrs. M.

First He was lifted by enemies to the cross; 2nd by friends from the cross, 3rd by His Father from the grave; 4th by the clouds into heaven. Do we lift Christ or do we lift man?

OUR PRICES ARE RIGHT We will be glad to figure with you at any time. Our Contracts Are Easy to Understand DAIRY PRODUCTS OMAN IN THE CHRISTIAN AREA Mrs. Mhel Linkins, 832 Freeceman can at 11th St. Talernacie Ka, City (concluded from last issue) can have their own desires, they can be consecrated workers, or they can be slackers; but remember God is calling for real true heated, every Christians in this Christian Area and that takes in the home life of all of the Christian women. Now God wants us to build up A Christian Standard in our homes; Don't wait we are at church to display our Christianity, let us be neat and clean, and unselfish home lovers. and let us be harmonious, kind and aectionate to our husbands; we should be very sober and dignified in all our actions in our homes so as to be able to weal our Christian influence over our homes; by this, we able to demand the home respect from the family. You have seen how much it adds to your Christian influence, to have your husband and children wholly wrapped up in your Christianity. When the husband will say, I will go to the wine room or to the show on Sunddy, or the ball game; I must not use by-words or unlearning a word in our home; for my wife is a Christian. And the children likewise: I can't have a card party at our home, a dance or play sinful on our piano, or jazz records on our victrola, for our mother is a very stricl Christian. Now if you will live as I have forestated, you will not be afraid to leave your home so the same principal will be carried out by the family for the respect they have for their Mother's Religion. Now as a rule, the women in Christian Area, is just a little too selfish; they try to keep in easily from the worldly or unful people, and associate with the best class of Christians; even scorning the weak Christians—This is entirely contrary to Christ's customs. If you remember the Pharisees found fault of it because He ate with sinners and Publicans. I don't mean that should not be careful in the kind of people with whom you associate, but I do mean that if we as Christians have no association with the unsaved we will not be able to imitate them with our Christianity. Remember our Lord Jesus words, insisting this master, the well don't accuse a physician, but the lame and sick; He came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Child was guea but He made himself small; He was rich, but became poor; He was honored with all the royalty of heaven, but He made himself as low as the most common soul on earth. He could have associated with kings and priests, and with great rulers or edens of this world, but He spent his time with the poor, and sick, the lare and blind. His chose he common men for His graciates and followers. He could have lived in palaces, but He made Lis abode in humble houses. So you must see that to be a Christian follower of Christ means Christ Him to have His mind and principles in you. Christ' purpose for doing this was to obtain lives and respect of these unsaved people that He might be able to weal Him. Ch is like principles over them that they would want to be like Him and home willing to adcept the plans of righteousness that He had for them—this rule applies to the Christian in this Christian Area Isisten Christian Woren, we must follow the plans of Christ very closely, watching with prayer all the principles of Him, trying to use His life for a pattern to live by each day and we will find that we will have better homes, better children, he to lands, better church has better clubs, better societies, better cities, better countries, better government but allow me to say, we as Christians ought to use every way possible to establish the principles of righteousness in this world for our own. He saved us to save others and look what Christ is in 23 years: He laid the whole plan of salvation, and was ready to be restored to the same Glory He had with His Father before the world was, and we have been trained to Christianise the people of this world ever since Christ appeared, and still you can hear this commotion: Christianity has lost its effect; and you can look around the other organizations and find more people all the time than you can at the church. Remember Christian women these conditions have not always existed even in the Christian Area; for I can remember when some of our older women were so ill of home and abroad that the whole neighborhood and community in their lives, respected their Christianity, and every time the church opened there would be a crowd of both saints and sinners. Now in my canal view let me say, it is not that Christianity has lost its enviable effect but the fault is in us we have allowed ourselves to get slack; we have given away to so many "no-harm things," we have mingled too much in worldly pleasures right along with the sinners, we have been too slothful in our church activities; we have neglected our Christian duties in so many ways and the sinner of this world is looking at us and saying, away with the church and that Christian life, they are always talking about; if they can be saved on what they have, I can, on what I have. Now My Christian Friends:—We say we are saved by the power of God's Grace, by our faith in His Son Jesus, must live it as Christ Jesus did when he was here on earth among the sons of men. You will note that He never was without followers; and so it will be with us if we will live the life, daily, and hold up the blesse of our Lord Jesus Christ the Son of the Lord God He can le would (draw all rest) him.

ANYBODY who would go horseback riding at 2:00 A.M. should be a candidate for commitment to an institution for the insane. Of course there was no prohibition in the Revolutionary period and it might have been that Paul Revere was not quite himself at that riding. Anyway—when they hoisted that whale oil lamp up in the tower of the Old North Church—Paul salied forth and pounded the pavement of Boston and points adjacent. He galloped along the highway on the 18th of April in '75 warning all the folks that the Hessian Hirclings of the British George were at large—and getting larger. And the folks loaded their twelve-gauges and got ready for a pot shot. Now-think what would have happened if that lantern in the Old North Church tower where they were watching the British across the river had been out of whale oil? The whole course of history might have been altered. They really should have had a giant airport beacon, electrically operated, to insure that they'd have light when they wanted it. And Paul should have used the radio to broadcast his warning. Or at least he might have had the telephone operators call all the Colonists.

TRUE PREACHERS, torn by the churches and not declared by a per- son who felt that God called them.

They reached deeaure they cculd not help it, They were New Testament rreachers; rafe and sound, money was only @ means to an end and not the end.
