WINSTON, SECRETARY The main purpose of the Young Men's Christerian Association, along with other Christian organizations, is to teach the youth the art of Christian living and church loyalty. Of course other fundamental social institutions (homes and schools) must augment them. Christian living and church loyalty are arts that must be taught by precept and example. It is not a compartment affair by any means. By that I mean; one institution cannot enter it alone while another institution feels no responsibility for the task. In other words Christian living is an art that must be practiced in all phases of life. We seem to think that the bane of society to day is the wayword youth. But I challenge, Mother, Father, Teacher and Professional men and women to a wholesome Christian life, then the youth will mend his ways. So only percent of what youth becomes; he becomes by imitation. unlimate' to be a youth now-a-days anxious to learn the art of Christian living and church loyalty and had to get my lesson from the living pictures about me. Before we can indict the youth, we must first look to ourselves to see if we are furnishing any incentive for him to go straight or have any interest in things worth-while, for our actions draw out our speech. Youth does not want to be told, he wants to be shown. What does your action show the youth? Remember, you cannot fool the youth long. G. G. Q. M., Gentude Wallace, K. C. K S. G. & Q. M.

YOU ARE A MAN (The Literary Service Bureau) If you can suffer slander vile, And no resentment show, Can face the world still with a smile, Despite such cruel blow, And theh, forsook, within your breast Permit no enmity to rest, If you can do this--and you can-- Then you may count yourself a man! If you can suffer sore defeat, Yet no surrender make Of principle, and then retreat Without dismay, or take With courage and becoming grace, Than others a more humble place, If with the hosts or in the van Then you may count yourself a man!

FITZWATER, D. D., Member of Faculty, Monday Hibiscus Institute of Chinango) (© 1920, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for September 21 JONAH: THE NARROW NATIONAL IST REBUKED LESSON TEXT—Jonah 21.1.19; 41.21 GOLDEN TEXT—And Peter opened his mouth, and said, "Of a truth I perceive that God is no respector of persons; but in every nation he that fearreth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him PRIMARY TOPIC—God's Love for All the World JUNIOR TOPIC—God's Love for all the World INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—What Is True Christianity? IC—What Is True Patriotism? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Patriotism and World Brotherhood In touching this lesson it will be necessary to sweep into view the entire Book of Jonah. I. Jonah's Call and Commission (Ch. 1:1, 2). Jonah, a Jew, was called to go and preach repentance to a Gentile city, (Gen, 12:1, 2). The story of Jonah graphically portrays the history of Israel as a nation. God separated Israel to be the channel through which his mercy and salvation are to be carried to all nations. They, like Jonah, have been recreant to duty. Because of this, God has caused them to be swallowed up by the nations which will one day spew them out upon dry ground—Palestine. After severe chastisement, they will discharge their obligation, and the nations through their ministry will repent and turn to God. 11. Jonah's Flight From Duty (1:3). He turned his back upon God and attempted to flee from his presence. In the same way Israel has become an apostate people. 11. Jonah's Correction (1:42:10). 1. Overtaken by a storm (v. 4). Trouble soon came upon the disobedient servant of God. So with the Jewa, misfortune after misfortune have overtaken them because they turned from God. They are now tossed about by the surging of the nation. 2. Cast overboard (v. 15). In their perplexity the sailors cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. According to his own direction they cast him overboard. God had prepared a great fish which swallowed him. Jonah in his affliction turned to God and prayed (James 5:13). God miraculously preserved him while in the belly of the fish, and he has miraculously preserved Israel in the heart of the nations. The fish could not digest Jonah, neither can the nations digest Israel. Jonah repented white in the fish. So Israel will repent as they go into the great tribulation. God made the fish to vomit out Jonah. So he will at the proper time cause the nations to cast out Israel. IV. Jonah's Commission Renewed (Ch. 3). His experience made him willing to do God's bidding. 1. His field (v. 3). He was to go to Nineveh, a large city, the people of which were cruel. Israel's field is the Gentile nations. 2. His message (v. 4). He was instructed to "preach the preaching" commanded by God. Forty days were given to the people in which to repent. God's supreme desire is that all should repent (II Peter 3:3). This message represents the heart of God in his dealing with sinners. 3. Repentance of the Ninevites (vv. 59). (1) They believed God (v. 5). They believed that God was speaking to them through Jonah about their sins, and was announcing impending judgment. (2) They proclaimed a fast (v. 5-8). The king and people joined sincerely in this movement. They put on sackcloth, the sign of penitence. (3) They reasoned that God would repent (v. 9). The sending to them of a prophet encourged them to believe that God would now mercy if they repented. V. J. Jonah's Behavior (Jonah 4:1-11). 1. He replies at God's action (v. 1-3). He now makes known the real reason for his flight from duty. He knew that the gracious God would spare the people who repented. The treatment of the Israelites at the hand of the Ninevites was such that Jonah did not want God to forgive them. We have here a case of a preacher of repentance mortified when the people repent and are pardoned. 2. God reproves Jonah (vv. 4-11). By means of the gourd God showed him his error. This closing scene affords a striking example of the patience and pity of God in contrast with the hard heartedness of man. Our Religion Our religion is, indeed, a thing between God and our own soul; but it is also a thing between us and society, and to attempt to isolate and secrete it is to deprive it of a thousand influences and excitement essential to its perfection.—William L. Watkinson. A Chapter a Day A chapter a day may not altogether keep the tempter away, but it will put him to a great disadvantage. Watchman Examiner. B.Y.P.U.LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue HOW TO IMPROVE OUR ORGANIZATION AND TEAM WORK. Numbers alone do not improve the organization. Its improvement depends upon the efficiency of the workers and the perfection of co-operation Organization is efficiency for service. It makes it possible to do the largest amount of work in the most effective way with the least possible loss of time and energy. The quality of the units of which an organization is composed is a determining factor in improving its efficiency. Just as the power of a machine is increased by leaning, tightening and greasing, so the efficiency of an organization is improved by keeping each individual fit for his particular task. A. place for all and all for a place. The whole is improved as we improve on all of its parts. Team-work is best done when each of the team knows and fits his place. Pulling together is the art of moving the load. Organization and co-operation elim inates friction and makes the impossible possible. GIRLS OF THE RED CIRCLE Y. W. A. The Y. W. A. meeting held at Calvary Baptist Church, Tuesday night, Sept 16.proved to be one of the most interesting and enjoyable, yet held by the Y. W. A. The vice president took charge and the devotional theme was "Winning Victories." Song: "Must Jesus Bear the Cross." Devotional Reading Psalm 32:1-7. Song: "Guide Me". Repeated pledge, object and watchword. Song: "I Need thee (Every Hour') closing in sentence prayer A large group of young men and women attended and took an active part in the entire proceeding. The question for discussion was "Is It Morrally, Physically and Spiritually Harmful to Dance" led by Rev. J. W. Hayes. As usual only a few of the young folks gave their sincere thoughts and reactions on the questions. One wonders whether in questions as these the Christian Youth is at a disadvantage when their pastor leads a discussion of this kind. Y. W. A, is at present engaged in practicing for a comic operetta: "The Merry Company," to be held in the immediate future. Next week the discussion will be led by Miss Bertha Robinson. The young folks of all the churches are invited to come out and have a part in the interesting discussssions. Mary Neely, Vice. Nellie Scott, Sec. Edward Johnson, reporter. Tabernacle B. Church. Rev.

THE ANNUAL APPEAL TO CHURCH AND PASTOR The Missionary Baptist State Convention of Kansas; The Women's Home and Foreign Mission Convention; and The State Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Boards will meet in Fort Scott, Kansas, with the Shiloh Baptist Church, Rev. Wm. Thomas, Pastor, Oct. 7-12, 1930. Pastor Thomas and his church are making ready for Kansas Baptist; let us not disappoint them. This year of all years, our Churches and auxiliaries should respond in a large way to the call of the State Convention, as our-interest for the past year has been divided between our State work and our National Baptist Golden Jubilee, and indeed Kansas Baptist loyally supported the National Jubilee, and played her part well. (Thanks to the women) in program and exhibits. Now, that the Jubilee is over let us answer the call of our State Convention. Let each Church in Kansas take the Commission of Jesus seriously. Let us believe Jesus said what He wanted to say, and that He meant what He said; and what He said to one He said to all: "Go ye into all the world"; and that no Church can obey Christ and leave this Commission out of its program. There is danger of localizing our task, already there is a drift in that direction. Many are thinking themselves out from under financial responsibility, but they are not taking their task seriously. To support the Missionary and Educational program of the State Convention, is a duty devolving upon every Church in Kansas. Many of our churches have responded loyally during the past year, also our District and State organizations. This has been a source of joy, and we have been able to make some progress, yet much remains to be done to clear the way for more effective work; we are still in debt and many small churches are in need of help that the Gospel may be preached to them. Many are asking for help. Our Central Theological Seminary is entitled to our best support. We are urging each of our large Churches to send to this meeting $25.00, each of our secondlargest Churches $15.00 and each of our small Churches $10.00 real small $5.00. This will enable us to finance the program of the State Convention, as we are behind. Let each Church in the State represent by messenger or letter. If you cannot come, send all money to Rev. G. N. Jackson, in care of Rev. Wm. Thomas, Fort Scott, Kansas. Now-let us pray for a great meeting, both in Spirit and Finance, and that each Church and worker may contribute their share to make the meeting a great success. MISSIONARY BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.

Attorney for the plaintiff ATTENTION!! TO MINISTERS AND CHURCH OFFICERS OF THE BAPTIST CHURCHES OF KANSAS, DEAR CO-WORKERS: The time has come when we should make Christ the Lord a real force and fact in our Missionary and Educational work in Kansas; since we have His promise John 14:14—"If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it". Here is a splendid opportunity for us to get a great blessing and to have an outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Our Annual Meeting of the State Convention, Oct 7-12, 1930, Fort Scott. Prayer is the program of the Christian life. It opens the door for God to come in. There is nothing more important. Let us all pray for a great meeting and that we all may come under the spell of the Eternal. This will create the atmosphere for the faithful distribution of that with which we have been intrusted as stewards of God. Let us get down to real business. for the next month and proceed to produce some of God's money i.a. offering for Missions and Education. Let every member of the Church send something. One Dollar per member should be the "Slogan", some can give more and other not so much, but all can give something. If ye ask anything in My Name., I will do it". I call you to prayer. G. N. JACKSON.
