Editor National Baptist World:
DEAR SIR AND BTOTHER:-We,
the First Baptist church of North
Lawrence, hail with delight the ap-
pearance of the BAPTIST WORLD.
$-Ve are always glad TO hear from our
sister churches ana III return 1t may
be helpful to let them hear from US.
Our hours of meeting are as fol-
lows: Preaching every Sunday at
l / a. 10. and p. m; Sunday school
at 1890 p. m. Junior Union every
Monday at 4 p. N. Prayer meet
ing every Wednesday at S p, N. Sew
ing Circle every Friday at p. m.
Eld. A. T. Ayres was called from
California to the pastorate Of our
church and took charge the first of
last April. At that time we adopted
the weekly envelope system, dispens-
ed with church fairs festivals and
overturned the tables. AS result
of this change during the past five
months We have raised nearly one
hundred dollars per month aud could
have done more. This has enabled
us to pay all current expenses, over
5000 on our church debt and lay aside
$40 to aid our members who might
need relief. Our membership is only
about one hundred and hence you
see we are a hive of working bees
who make it hot for drones. We
| heartily recommend the weekly plan
| because it is the Bible plan. See 1st.
Cor 16-1. Instead of giving fairs an d
festivals to raise means, we now do
as did the wise men who were seek
ing for him who was born King of
the Jews. When we meet to WOr-
ship that same King, we bring our
offerings with us. Then we worship,
present our gifts, and return home
with thanksgiving.
Our Sunday school is in good work
ing ord er with Mr.. S H. Johnson as
Superintendent and Mrs, Viola Cha
teau, assistant. Mrs. Caroline Gray
is the efficient president Of our sew
ing circle. The circle has done a
noble work since April 1st., ia furn-
ishing clothing for the needy and
paying $40 on the church debt.
Mrs. Ida B. Ayres is leader of our
Junior Union which has member
ship of fifty-fve. This is a lively
company of girls and boys with a
lively leader. They meet and learn
to sing, pray, study the bible, grow,
sew, etc. Knowing that no church
can live long that simply lives for
/ itself, we are not satisfied with what
we have done for missions this year,
and are preparing to do our duty
along this line also.
p. S.-We have two dear blind
members who of their own accord
paw to the church five cents per
week. They pay their dues more
readily than some who have good
eyes and good health. Thus, you see,
we believe in the plan recommended
| by Paul, "let every one of you lay
by in store as God hath prospered
him." Our members are paying five
cents to one dollar per week, accord
| ing to their willingness and ability.
Respectfully Yours.

breadth and simplicity of technique,
the brush work having that admirable
quality which is the opposite extreme
of inickyness, and the color being fresh
and good"

The CITY LosEs.-In the U. S. Court
to-day in the habeas corpus case of l..
Nick. Bell, agent Of the United States
Express Company, who was nominally
under arrest tor refusing to pay fine
for declining to pay license tax for
that express company to do business in
this city, Judge Hughes discharged
MIR. Bell, holding that the city ordi-
nance imposing license tax on ex-
press company was in conflict with the
provisions of the interstate commerce
law. In rendering his opinion
Judge Hughes said: 1 have ex-
amined this case with care and
though disposed to differ with Judges
Bradley and Bond in their views of the
law, yet l feel bound to defer to their
decisions respectively in the case of
Leloup VS.. Port of Mobile in the U. S.
Supreme Court and United States vs.
James Webster in this court. The Pc
titioner must therefore be discharged
from custody.
In the suit the city was represented
by Corporation Attorney Brent and
Mr.. Bell by Mr.. J. M. Johnson.
There is probability that the city
will appeal the case.

The singing and dancing were good, but
otherwise the performance was tame,
