CALLED REPUB- LICAN MEETING Senator Stewart, chairman of the County Central Committee, called the meeting to order at Republican headquarters, 129 N.

Porter of Atchison, who has charge of the Negro Republcan vot+ ers of the state in co-operation with the state Central Committee. He was arking for the organization of Republican clubs and for thier co- operation with the state plan. He also wanted a key man or men and key woman or women. The discus- sion took many angles in its persuit. Rev. J. E, Douglass stated his ob- Jection of Prof P. G. Porter, coming as an outside director and thought a co-operation with county central com mittee was sufficient. Dr. H. H. Wil- son stated his objection for an organ- ization as the old organization is funetioning well now and has been for sometime . Mr, Charity Bettis stated there fe no need of a seperate organization, f #0, look for friction. Dr. P. M. Bell, stated the need of sup por-ting the Colored Republican club and thinks that will lessen friction Dr. F, O. Miller saw no need of fol- lowing Prof, Porter, but thinks Sena- tor Stewart is sufficient to lead the party. Ie fears the segregation ap- pearance. Mrs Lula Hill spoke on the thought that the letter offered no Regregation and only asked for co- operation for party information and work. Dr. C. R. Price endorsed Mrs. Hill's sayings. Atty. A. P. Woodard stated the organized club was for as- sociation and not for segregation. Dr, P. M. Bell motioned that the Colored Republican elub be recogniz- ed and then endorse Prof. P, G. Por- ter’s request. Atty. A. P. Woodard seconded it., Mr. Stewart expessed his opinion. Rev, B. L. Marchant spoke on the many issues injected that did not belong in the atated meet ing and that no club should not be recognized if they wanted to avoid friction. Mr. T, R, Gravelly was elected to head up the information’ bureau for the statt central commit- tee in this county for the colored clubs. Mrs. N. B. Copeland was ne- lected to head the woman's division for the county. AS IT SEEMS TO MEN Pertinent truths are very often re- vealed In mere statements.

Member of Faculty, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (2020, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for October 5 ZACHARIAS AND ELISABETH LIFE IN A PIOUS JEWISH HOME LESSON TEXT—Luke 1 5-10. LESSON TEXT—Luke I 3-50. GOLDEN TEXT—And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. PRIMARY TOPIC—Helping to Make Our Homes Good JUNIOR TOPIC—Helping to Make Our Homes Good INTERNEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—What I Owe to My Home IC—What I Owe to My Home TOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—What Makes a Home Christian! 1. A Godly Husband and Wife (Luke 1:5-7). The name Zacharias means "Jehovah hath remembered," and the name Ellisabeth means "A covenant maker." 2. When they lived (v. 5). "In the days of Herod the king." They lived in a day when godlessness was rife. The priesthood was corrupt, and the ruling classes most wicked. 2. Their character (v. 6). Both were righteous before God Many appear to be righteous before man who are not righteous before God They were so mated that they walked in the commandments of the Lord blameless. The highest in wedded life can be attained only when both husband and wife are united in Jesus Christ. Their practical living was manifested in obedience to God's commandments. 2. They were childless (v. 7). Though this godly couple were well mated, and possessed the joy of the Lord in their souls, there was a real lack in their home. No home is quite ideal into which no child has come 11. A Son Promised (Luke 1:8-23). 2. By whom (vv. 11, 19)? Gabriel, a special messenger of God, appeared and made known the good news to Zacharias. 2. When (vv. 8-14)? While officiating as priest this good news came to him. From verse 13 the implication is that Zacharias had been praying definitely about this matter. While he burned incense, which is typical of prayer, the multitudes without were praying. 3. Characteristics of the child (vv. 15-17). (1) Shall be great in the sight of the Lord (v. 15). Though the people did not greatly esteem him, he was highly esteemed by the Lord. (2) Shall drink neither wine nor strong drink (v. 15). He was to be a Nazarite, separating himself from sensuous things and dedicating himself unto the Lord (Numbers 6:1-6). (3) Shall be filled with the Holy Ghost (v. 15). The energy of the divine Spirit was needed to enable him to lead the people to repentance (v. 10). (4) Shall go in the spirit and power of Elijah (v. 17). In this power he was to prepare the people for the coming of the Sailor, and the salvation which he was to bring. 4. Zacharias asking for a sign (v. 18 23). Although the aged priest was earnestly praying for the salvation of Israel, the gracious promise of the angel which was the beginning of that salvation staggered his faith. The angel gave him a sign. Because he refused to praise God in faith for this gracious promise, God caused his tongue to be silent until the promise was fulfilled. God wants us to believe his promises no matter how contrary to reason they may seem. III. The Promise Fulfilled (Luke 1:57-64). 1. Neighbors and kinfolk rejoicing with Elisabeth (vv. 57, 58). 2. The child circumcised and named (vv. 59-63). On the eighth day they circumcised the child and named him "John" (v. 13). By means of writing Zacharias made known the name which he would have by divine instruction. 3. Zacharias praises God (v. 61). At this time God opened the mouth of Zacharias, and he offered up praise to God. IV. Zacharias Prophesying (Luke 1:67-80). 1. Praising God for fulfillment of the promise of salvation (vs. 67-75). This was according to covenant promise. 2. John to be called "The Prophet of the Highest" (vv. 70-70). He was to go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways. 3. The growth of John (v. 80). He grew and waxed strong in the Spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel. Our Own Sins The world today is openly confessing other people's sins, but too few people see their own.-J. G. Ruth. Only melted gold is coined and ready for the stamp. When melted, God stamps us.—Evangelical Visitor. The Favorite Book The Bible has been the favorite book of those who were troubled and down trodden—Henry van Dyke. Lesson for Oct. 5 Subject YOUNG PEOPLE'S LEADER Scripture Lesson; 2 Timothy 2:14-21 The leader of young people must first of all love them. He must believe in them sympathize with them and give them something to do. The leader of youth must be a student of the young. He must have contact with them and observe them. It is to be remembered that young people have many qualities that are indeed outstanding. In the first place they are in the main frank and honest. They believe in the character and life of Christ, but they do not believe in the standard set by most communities. The secret of leading young people is to love them; know them; trust them; sympathize with them and give them something to do. Consideration Are the temptations today greater than a generation ago? Was the youth a generation ago better than the youth today? If so, Why? St. Matthew C. M. E. Ch The Annual Conference of the C. The Annual Conference of the C. M. E. Church held in Kansas City, Kansas, closed recently, those who attended from St. Mathews report a very enjoyable and successful session Bishop J. A. Hamlett, the Presiding Bishop of the Conference received so many letters and certified statements, signed by all members of the church and by many of the prominent business men, both white and colored, of Wichita, to send our pastor back to us, that he could not refuse. The Bishop is reported to have quoted the following words. "This man, Rev. Hawkins has been requested to come back to Wichita by so many letters that I have received from his charge, backed up by a "round report" which proves that they want him back until I cannot refuse to send him back to Wichita." As a result of the action of the Bishop, result of the action of the Bishop. We are more than thankful to the Great God Almighty for Rev. Hawkins' return. The pastor announces for his program Sunday, Oct. 5, 1930, the following: Sunday School will open at 9:30 o'clock. At 11 o'clock the pastor will preach his first sermon for the new Conference Year, using as the basis for his theme, "God's Love." The Epworth League will open at 6:30 p. m. y.t.g At 8:00 o'clock the pastor will preach his second sermon, using as the basis of his theme, "An Impartial God." nspir-a Sunday is Holy Communion Day. Sunday promises to be a high day. Please come out and help us enjoy the religious services. Ottawa Gleanings. Bethany S. B. at the usual time, attendance good.

TO MINISTERS AND CHURCH OFFICERS OF THE BAPTIST CHURCHES OF KANSAS. 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, Foit A MAN AND HIS BUSINESS W. H. Haywood, a resident of Wichita for nearly 18 months has been for 15 months the manager of the only Negro Service Station Business. This young man sees life from the view point of a big hearted optimist. Some people say, "If a man is in business and is poor, he is a poor manager." Whether he is poor or excellent will depend on that which he has to manage. Now, are you allowing him to exercise his service station experience on your car? This is the "In and Out" service station that has entertained you. Located at the corner of Ninth Street and Mosley Ave. Wichita, Kansas.

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 in an 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.
