"PROGRESS OF THE ST. MARY'S PAPTIST S. S. DURING OUR PASTOR'S ADMINISTRATION." Our belovered pastor; Rev. J. E. Deuglass was called to pastor us Nov. 1919. which we feel was a God sent blessing to the entire church. During which time the S. S. has made a wonderful progress with its several leaders; under the wise council and advice of our beloved M. B. Talbert Y.W.C.A. A Concert that is vice will be held at the Y. W. C. A. Sunday afternoon; May 9 a. 4.00 o'clock. Mrs. J. W. Thon proon will conduct the services. Three minutes talks will be given by the following: "Prayer" by Mrs. J. S. Dell; "Faith" by Mrs. Carrie Andersen; "Love" by Mrs. Henrietta Cist; "Joy" by Mrs. Clara Neal; "Hope" by Mrs. J. E. Lewis and "Conservation" by Mrs. I. F. Bates. An appropriate music is being planned. Every member and friend of the Y. W. C A is invited. Once each year the Religious Education Committee holds this kind of service. Iians were completed for the Y. W. C. A. Fash'on Show at the Friar's Committee mee ing; Monday night. Pastor; and the co-operation of its workers. When our Pastor was called accepted the call and came to us, we feel safe in saying both the call and acceptance were directed by the Holy Spirit; for we know we could not have succeeded as we have and worked together so peacefully and harmoniously if the Spirit of God was not with us. We will pause here to say "Praise God from whom all blessings flow!" We find when the Pastor came to us the Sunday School was under his leadership of Sister Dora Tipps. Sister Tipps was a very zealous worker. The S. S. moved onward and upward during per administration. We find in 1921 the enrollment of the S. S. had reached the 100 mark. In 1921 Bro. A. R. Washington was made choice of as our Supt. His administration was a very successful one. As a faithful; earnest worker and leader; we felt his equal could not be found. Many new plans were adopted to increase the interest and enthusiasm of the school. Through the wise council of our Pastor; who is always present in our S. S. and ready to help in every way it increased numerically; in electually & financially. In Apr. 1923 Bro. Washington saw fit to move out of the city. The school then felt at a loss; we knew no hing to do; but look up to our Pastor; who is always ready to help us and care for us as a good Shepherd cares for his sheep. The Pastor began to look over his stock with the guidance of the Holy Spirit to select someone among us to fill Bro. Washington's place. Finally, the Holy Spirit directed his mind upon Bro. J. D. Wilson; who at that time was very young minister; humble and summative in disposition; who did not think of shirking duty. He then in Apr. 1921 was selected as our Supt. to fill out the unexpired term of Bro. A. R. Washing on. Bro. Wilson being a young man with a vision; the S. S. could do nothing than succeed under his leadership. The S. S. continued to move on up the hill of progress. New plans were put forth; membership drives and financial drives were put on. The S. S. in person served us very successfully forcreased from every angle. Bro. Wilabour two and one-half years; until Sept. 1925 at which time he at his own request gave up the work that he might devote more of his time to the study of the ministry. He was succeeded by Mrs. Oma. Evans. She was also a very energetic worker; one whose possessed progressive ideas. So the work continued in a very progressive way. She served us for more than one year. In Jan. 1927 Bro. C. Swan was elected as Supt. and served us thru 1929, about three years of faithful service. We feel that we have not words to express our appreciations to Bro. Swan for his untiring services and for the interest and love he manifested in us. As the years rolled by our S. S. increased in every way. We found it necessary to organise more classes selected more teachers organized in Teachers' Training Class; that we might be able to do a more effective work. Beginning with 5 classes we now have 9. Our enrollment began with less than 100; we now have an enrollment of about 185. We have long since realized that the S. S. is no longer to be looked upon as a small matter; but that it can do big things as well as any other auxiliary of the church. Our offerings beginning with less than $1 have increased as high as $1802. Last but not least; our Pastor be- WICHITA, KANSAS, 'FRIDAY, Mar. 7, 1930 NEW SCHOOLS GROWING FROM INTERRACE MEET RECENT CONFERENCE AT BRISSTOL BRINGS PROMPT RESULTS IN TENNESSEE TOWNS. BRISTOL, TENN., Mar. 6—As a result of the Regional Interracial Conference held here on December 8; three new colored schools; two of which include gymnasiums; are already projected; according to Robert E. Clay' state Rosenwald school agent. The Mayor of Johnson City is heading a movement to erect at that place a five-room building with gymnasium; a four-teacher school with auditorium and gymnasium is room to be built in Bristol; and a movement for a five-teacher school is under way at Morris'own. The impetus for these several enterprises; according to Mr. Clay; was provided by the recent interracial meeting; where the need for them was brought forward and discussed. In a letter to J. D. Burton; state interracial secretary; Mr. Clay says: "I am sure it will be an encouragement to you to see the results of our Bristol meeting." Mr. Clay was formerly one of the secretaries of the State Interracial Corporation and still functions unofficially in "car capacity; in close cooperation with Mr. Burton. ing filled with the spirit of the Christ was not satisfied with these degrees of progress; knowing that the chief objective of every Christian organization should be soul winning; there he adopted a plan several years ago; known as the Evangelistic period in the S. S. at which time he spends some 15 or 20 in trying to win the little souls for Christ; while they are young for after all Jesus wants a life saved as well as the soul. This plan has proven very! very! delpful; it has been the means of bringing many children into the church Bro. R. P. Pernell has been elected as our Supt. for this ensuing year and I am sure with the success of the past; we all feel inspired to do more in the future for Chi-t's Kingdom Build ng here on earth. by MRS. ORA L. NESBY. HISTORY OF THE CHURCH Out of nothing came the creation of the universe; out of the waers that once spread the face of all the earth came mountains and the far extended plains; Out of the earth rprang the vegetation of a thousand kinds; out of the clouds rain fall; sleet and show; out of the Sooner State came a pilot in the person of Rev, J. E. Douglas to navigate this good-ship Church; out of the turbulent seas of adversity into a haven of good-will and contentment. This church formerly belonged to white people who called it the Church of God. It was later purchased by the colored people; during Rev. Bramlets pastorae and had on record one hundred members. Its name was changed from The Church of God to Saint Mary Missionary Pastist Rev. Smith the named was changed to the Wabash Avenue Baptist Church with forty members on record. Then came Rev. Douglass; God's special pilot; commissioned by him to safely pilot the goodship Church out of the seas of turmoil and strife. The Church was restored to former name of St. Mary's Missionary Baptist Church. When he became connected with this church it was tied up in every court in the state from the city court to the supreme court. The indebtedness to the courts and lawyers was more than $400; to Rev. Smith $400 to the different courts $350; to Kansas National Bank $350. Under his never-faltering leadership these debts were eliminated. Preaching; teaching! advising; laboring like a Trojan warrior he stayed at the helm; safe navigating this good ship church while the waves of trouble sponsored by his Satanic Majesty leaped across her decks. With bull dog tenacity he staved at his post; while the cyclonic storms of discord raged. There were then only 27 members on record. f i c e th a n b e h e s p u : ' k e JOHN H. HARRIS DR P. D. SKINNER; COFFEYVILLE State Evangelist EVANGELIST ON MASTER'S DUTY. LAWRENCE; KANS.; Feb. 28—We are engaged in a great campaign for the salvation of sinners directed by Dr. P. D. Skinner of Coffeyville; our State Evangelist. He is truly a protourd preacher and knows the act in saving souls. Many are coming into the fold. The church is being revived. It will take eternity to value the good being done here. His much study; experience and prayer have prepared him for handling the power of the Holy Spirit in the pulpit. We are enjoying every moment of his time and trying to make it pleasant for him. REPORTER. Peter did at Pentecost and now we have about 604 members on record. A B. Y. P. U. which was feeling and rocking on the Craigs of annihilation is now on the solid rock of progress with more than 150 members doing great work. A Sunday school that was relegated to the isle of extermination is now on the isle of progressiveness with more than 185 or more members inhabiting God's Word from; efficient instructors that have been developed under his tutorship. A Mission Circle that has been elevated from the netts of failure to the heights of success; with 65 or 70 women doing splendid work. Bought and paid for two lots. Because of the unadulterated Gospel that he preaches; the seating capacity of this church was found to be inadequate so; under the leadership of this intrepid leader an addition was put on costing near $2500. Because of the Spirit filled messages; just fresh from heaven; coming from fire purged lips of silver; one coming out of the thighs of gold; that will life your souls all the way to glory; and you go away saying it was good to be here; that our pastor Rev. Douglas gives us; we had to put on another addition because people wanted to feast at the Gospel table; that he set before them. This addition that we are now opening to all Wichita. The Greater St Mary's Missionary Baptist Church. The first addition had a seating capacity of 300 members and the second addition the one that we are now enjoying has seating capacity of 500 members. We now turn our attention to the glory of man which is woman; God saw that man needed a helmet so he gave him one. The efficient work that his good wife has done will be long remembered; her meritation at the Central Baptist Theological Seminary and the advantage of having a first rate minister for a husband has been of equal value to this church. After finishing work at the Seminary she came back to us bubbling over with energy; and a first class knowledge of the Bible organized the teachers training course class with 30 or 40 members receiving wholesome instruction and first hand knowledge of the Bible; how to teach and study God's perfect treasure of heavenly instruction; she also was the organizer of our Junior Chair and Junior Union. She also organized the Live Wire Group and they are one of the livest groups in the Union. May she continue to render the efficient service that she has developed and continue For the first time since the World War an accurate check on the number of World War veterans living in the State of Kansas will be made by the 1930 personal property assessors. This is in compliance with an Act of the 1920 Session of the Kansas Legislature; Chapter 251. Mr. F. W. Crouch; Commander of Arthur Gosse t Post No. 273 announced today that The American Legion throughout the State of Kansas was urging all assessors to carefully comply with the requirements of the Act; which calls for the enrolling of the names and addresses of soldiers; sailors and marines; their widows and orphans; living at the present time within the State. County Clerk Orville Bell has received instructions from Atorney General Smith and Adjutant General McLennan; setting out the requirements for this enrollment. The Act provides that it becomes the duty of the County Clerks to furnish the assessors in their County the blanks which all be furnished said County Clerks by the Attorney General of the State and provides further that these assessors shall fill out these blanks for each person who serves in the World War; for each widow of such person; whether married or not and every child under sixteen years of age of all such deceased persons and the name of the deceased father of such children or the decease husband of such widow. Four copies of this blank shall be made by the County Clerk; one to remain in his office and the other three to be forwarded to the Adjutant General of the State of Kansas. The Act provides penalty for the failure on the part of any officer to comply with the provisions of the statute but as Attorney General Smith points out; no Kansas Officer will be found so remiss in his duties as to fail in the carrying out of the provisions of this Act. The purpose of the enrollment is to furnish a definite historical record for the State Historical Society and also to allow the U. S. Veterans' Bureau in Kansas and The American Legion to contact men and women who are entitled to benefits from the State and Government. Post Commander Crouch stated that the Legionnares of this community would co-operate in every way with the County Clerks and assessors in seeing that an accurate record was had. to train persons to become more efficient agricultural leaders. Now my mind goes back to our pastor; Rev. J. E. Douglas who has renamed invaluable service to this church and community for the past ten years and is now entering the eleventh year. A man who challenged the forces of evil; fought them and came out more than corqueror. A man whom God rent; a man who charged over Saan's domain with a Charlot of Gorpel. A man who is inviolable in preaching God's Gospel as Achiller; that noted *Jekk Warrior* was in haile. A man who teaching the interpretation of God's Truth will need a third addition to seat the people who come to hear him as the second one is somewhat taxed now. He is a man who fanned and rekindled the embers of a dying Gospel Round-House. A man who led his forces on in face of what seemed certain death; turned the title and won a signal victory. Permt me to say: Kansas is blessed in having such a leader; With tais is blessed in having such a leaker and St. Mary Baptist Church is also blessed in having a truth teaching; truth defending; truth loving; truth promoting Gospel preacher. May he live long to preach God's Gospel; build churches; advise and concil; and do whatever will lift up Jesus; and bring His Kingdom to pass in the hearts of men. By ROBERT J. SAUNDERS.

FITZMATHIE (11) Member of Faculty at North High Institute of Chicago) (12) 1920 Western newspaper union Lesson for March 9 THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER PRIMARY TOLICHE HEARTS and THORDS JUNIOR LORD HEARTS and THORDS INTERNALIZE AND SENIOR LORD LIVING HEAD TO LESS TREASURED YOUTH HEART AND ADULT LORD TAKE HEAD TO HEAR. In this thirteenth chapter of Matthw the "mysteries" of the kingdom are unfolded by "mystery" in the Scriptures in mental truth and discoverable by human reason unde known revelation. The seven parables of this chapter set forth in a most graphic manner the abolition of moral and spiritual affliction in the world between Christ's ascension and return to the earth. 1 The Sower (p. 3). The power is not natural in this par- able. In the promise of the wheat and fires the power is the Son of Mun (v 37) It is evident that the power in this case is the Lord Jesus Christ. Through the centuries he has been sowing the seed of divine truth by means of prophethic apostles and ministers. II. The Kind of Soil (vv. 49; 10 21) The soil is the human heart (v 10) The seed down in the Word of God (v. 10) The difference of results lies in the condition of the soil, which in turn is the state of the human heart. Notwithstanding the faithfulness of the sower and the purity of the seed, the results of preaching God's Word depend upon the condition of the human heart. This pivable reveals four kinds of soil or hearers 1. The wavy side, or hard hearted hearer (v 4. of v. 10) 1. The wavable means the track honeen down by the hoofs of animals, and the foot of men. Because the soil was unbroken and unmultitated the seed could not get beneath the surface, therefore was deserved by the fowl. The great truth taught is that the heart unbroken and hard is not favorable soil for the gospel. 2. The stone places or superficial heathers (vv. 5, 16 of vv. 20, 21). This means stones with a thin inner of soil upon them. Under such conditions the seed springs up quickly but likewise secures quickly hearts superficially impressed resolve God's Word with joy but when perception and trials come they are not able to endure. 3. The thorns ground or pre-occupied hearers (v 7 of v 22) In this case the ground is good mel low enough and of sufficient depth, but has thorns in it. Such really hent the Word of God but the cares of this world and the deceivefulness of riches and the lusts of other things, entering in choke the Word and it becomes unfruitful) (Mark 4 19) Many are the "thorny ground" bearers of this age. The good seed cannot mature because (1) of world illness. Men and women are completely absorbed in the things of business and are burdened with care. (2) The deceitfulness of riches Anxious care in business brings riches to many. The effect of riches is to blunt the spiritual perception of men (3) Lands of other things entering in. This means the pleasures of life. All these things chose the Word of God. Many of the enjoyments of the world may be innocent in themselves, but they attract so much attention and consume so much energy and time that one has no time for Bible reading, meditation and prayer. 4 The good ground, or fruitful hearers (v 8 of v 23) "But other fall into good ground and brought forth fruit." This ground differed from all the rest. It was mellow, deep and moist, therefore it was capable of bringing forth fruit a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty fold. In the measure that the heart is kept free from worldiness, riches and pleasure, the good seed matures. III. The Purpose of Teaching in Parables (v 1017). There is much misperception concerning teaching in parables. The parable method of teaching makes clear the truth to those that love it but conceals it from those who have a dislike for it. Jesus did not teach by parables till the rulers had set their hearts against Him. When in the light of His miracles and wonderful works they turned against him and attributed His works to the devil, he denounced them in the most scathing terms and began to teach in parables, in fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah (Matt. 13:14, 15; cf. Isa. 6.9, 10). God Ever Ready to Protect God often strikes away our props to bring us down upon his mighty arms. What strength and peace it gives us to feel them underneath us! Far as we may sink, we cannot go farther down than those stretched arms.—Doctor Cusler, What Love Is Love is the simple desire for the highest good of another or of others, and is the expression of a spirit of self surrender.—Bishop Westcott. BY REV. I. 615 Wabash Avenue March 0, 1930 WHY AND HOW, WIN OTHERS TO CHRIST. Isaiah 6:1-8; Rev. 22:17 We should win others to Christ first of all because to fear God and keep his commandments is the whole (duty) of man. Ecc. 12:13. Second—We should win others to Christ because of the value of the soul." "What should a man give in exchange for his soul?" Third—We should win others to Christ because we have been won to Him, and it is anguish not to pass the realing message on. Finally, we should win others to Christ because at the cross humanity becomes one. How Are We To Win Others To Christ?" First—We must ourselves be partakers of the Divine Nature, we must know Him, that is we must live on earth' but our lives must be ruled from above. Second—We must have a passion to win men to Christ. Third—We must be able to make a speech for God. seek the lost, and not wait to be Fourth—We'must' (like our Lord) sought by the lost, as the doctor waits for the call of his patient, or the laver for his client. Fifth—Let no opportunity pass to win a soul for Christ. The true Church is sent to a lost world, hence each Christian is a messenger r God, and has a massage from God to man, its a message of Love. Our lesson shows a two-fold mission of Christ. First—He came to show Mercy and save. His second coming will be to show judgement to the unbeliever but gladness to His Church. Christ's credentials were "The Spirit of the Lord is union Me." He was anointed from birth. THOUGHTS: Each Christian is a living witness for Christ. Our strongest testimony is' what we are. If we have found the cure for the cancer of Sin' let us pass it on. Have you ever won a soul for Christ? When will you begin, the time is short. St. Matthew C. M. E. Ch. REV. C. M. HAWKINS, PASTOR J.

Wichita; Kansas Mar. 3 The following is a report of the activities of the Wichita Police Department in the suppression of vice for the week ending Mjgth 2; 1930: Number of liquor violators reported to County Attorney 12 Number of raids on questionable places 10. CONTRABAND SEIZED One still; 4 mash haggels; 4 mash heaters; 2 oil stoves; 1 hydrometer; 2 earthen jar; 30 grains morphine; 1 Essex Coach (Welliver). PVIDENCE SEIZED Whisky 209 gallons; one quat and 7 pints. Alcohol 188. Brew 3. Mash 240 240. John and Evanset 2000. CLASSIFICATION OF ARRESTS CLASSIFICATION OF ARRESTS LIQUOR in Possession 10. Transporting LIQUOR 1. Fornication 5. Done in Possession 1. Licentious Advances 1. Sale and Possession of LIQUOR 1. Still Mash LIQUOR and Mfg. of LIQUOR 1. Adultry 3 NOTABLE ARRESTS OF THE WK ESTHER CLARK-1417 South Kobers,a; was caught again. This time we sent two men to her home and she sold them a quart and when we raided her; we found another gallon. This woman has been caught twice during the part month. TED WELLIVER—Has been dealing in whisky for some time. We loved him making a two gallon delivery to a Negro in the North End. He had this whisky in four half gallon fruit jars; and his wife and three children were sitting on it. He has used them as a blind for sometime. We raided his home and found a complete distilling equipment. When this case comes into court there will undoubtedly be a movement for a parole; giving his family as a reason. There has been a certain amount of agitation toward this end already. This is a pitiful case; we agree; but it seems that a great number of the loggers we arrest we using the same family stall. EARL BLAKE—Was caught with a large amount of liquor in the county. This man is one of a large ring that is furnishing this city; and this vicinity with liquor in wholesale lots. We; in company with several Federal officers located the plant and called on the Sheriff to assist us in raiding the place. We caught this man my last year; with a Buick Coupe making a delivery of seven gallons. To date this man has never been tried. And when he does we predict that the sentences on the transporting and on this case will be can concurrently. If such is the case there is no reason why he should not continue in the business as long as he is not forced to trial. After we get him tried; if he is then caught again; we can send him tried; if he is then caught again; we can send him up on a persistent violator charge. This represents one of the conditions that we have spoken of in previous issues of this bulletin'. As it now stands; as long as a man is caught and is not tried; it makes no difference how many threes he is caught; as eventually it is all included in one sentence. THE SUNNY BOY PRODUCT COMPANY-Is located on Rock Island Avenue. This firm has been dealing in "Jake" and other drinkable extracts in wholesale lots. They have been trying to get by the law. Everything that they sold contained a certain amount of alcohol and it was all drinkable. Heretofore we have not been able to secure convictions as they always claimed that their products were made under Government specifications. When we had the extracts analyzed the chemists always said that it contained the right amount of solids. But we enlisted the aid of the U. S. Government and when their chemists analyzed the extracts they found that they had the right amount of solids; but that the solids were adulterated and that the extracts were drinkable. The solids that they have been using is something other than dried ginger root; which is rebuired by law. ADDIS WHOLESALE GROCERY COMPANY—A large amount of "Jake" and o her drinkable extracts were confiscated at the above place. DRUG STORES—At least ten of the city's "Jake peddling" drug stores have been raided and the proprietors have been arrested before the U. S. Commissioner on the charge of the sale of liquor. This stuff that they sold is nothing more than "doctored" alcohol. This should have a noticeable effect on the reduction of "Thanks" in our city as we have been powerless to correct this evil in this past. O. W. WILSON Chief of Police H. L.
