able musical directors in the city.
Famous Church Choir.
In 1888 William Van Ness, dean of
music, took charge of the choir. From
that day to this it has only been nee

of the North Topeka church. to fill
the building, and often crowds; are
turned away.
Previous to assuming charge of the
Baptist choir he sang in Grace cathe-
dral. and later led the music of the
North Side Congregational church. In
1888 he organized at the North To-
peka church the first mems chorus in
the city. 1t was one of the best that
ever sang in the city, and this chorus
of twenty-five voices was greatly In
demand for large gatherings. In 1893
he organized the mixed choir that has
existed to this day. Mr.. Van Ness was
the first director in Topeka to intro
duce both piano and organ accom-
pan:ment. Many churches have since
followed his lead. He was also one of
the first to introduce orchestra ac-
compartment.

day who were charter members Of the
1893 choir. They are E. p. Fraser,
c. C.. Nicholson, Minnie Mccall and
William Van Ness. Many musical
leaders have gone out over the coun-

direction of Mr.. Van Ness. Among
them are Dora Brown Hughes. SOLO

ley Lewis, Rush Conklin. Grace

and many others who are leading
choirs and doing SOLO work in this and
other cities. Mr.. Van Ness is not only
director of the choir, but has consid-
cradle ability as a composer and often
the entire service of the church is ar
ranged by him.
The Sunday school of this church
has always been we'll attended and has
produced many efficient religious
workers. There is an enrolment to-
day of ESQ scholars. The school is
arranged on the modern department
plan, and graded lessons are taken.
Young People Active.
There are three young peoples socie-
ties in connection with this church
that are perhaps second to none in the
city. The Junior society under the
leadership of T. NJ Forbes has a mem

peka at that time was very small. In
the spring of 1870 the Rev. j. A. Bar
rett recalls that at the election there
were only thirty ballots cast. More
people lived on small tracts and farms
Ut the edge of town than lived within
the city limits.
The Rev. J. A. Barrett was pastor for
fourteen years and under his leader
ship the membership grew from ~ to
394. The church is built of rock, which
was hauled from Calhoun bluffs by diff
ferent members of the church. 1t was
paid for and dedicated in March, 1871
In 1876 an addition was built. This
building has never carried debt or
mortgage on the property. Three other
Baptist churches have been organized
through the congregation of the North
Topeka church.
Since the retirement of the Rev. ].

WASTE OF MONEY
Convicts Should Not Spend
Funds ON Lawyers, Says State.


Those who land in the penitentiary or
reformatory should not waste their
money on lawyers in trying to get a
parole. That is hard on lawyers but
1t has been the policy of the new gov
ernor Of Kansas.
The employment Of attorneys to get
a man released from prison Is regarded
in Kansas as commercial transaction
while the intercession Of friends is re-
garded as an assurance of help to the
hayward unfortunate and when a man
is turned out OF prison he needs help
from friends more than. he needs an
attorney.

The Senior society also meets at $3.50,
with membership of 50 Of which EN-
cry Beard Is president for the present

The Rev. w. G. Handley became pas
tor of the North Topeka Baptist church
January /, 1914. He came from the
First Baptist church, Fredonia, Kan
Mr.. Handley is a Kansan, but his edu-
cation and training is entirely English.
He was born in Exeter township, Clay
county, in 1882. One year and a half
after his birth his parents. Mr.. and
Mrs. Uriah Handley went to England,
their native country.
In the summer of 1909. owing to a
breakdown in health the Rev. Mr..
Handley left London where he had re-
sided for ten years, and returned to
Kansas. His first passionate with the
Baptist people of this state was at Rus
sell, Kan, then at FredOnia, and now at
North Topeka.
His first year as pastor closed De-
cember 81, and during the year great
prosperity has attended every depart
ment of the church. When he came
the membership stood at 315. 1t is now
about 465, making an increase of $50
in one year, and the finances were
never in better condition. Three hum
dred dollars has been been added to the
pastors salary for 1916.
A young ladies' class for physical
training with a membership of 20 that
meets once q week was organized last
fall. Mrs. c. A. Musselman is the pop
ular instructor of this enthusiastic and
growing class.
A mission branch has been estab-
lished in the Lyman district and a
preaching service is held every Sun
day afternoon. A young mems Cos
pei team has also been organized and
four outposts are being arranged in
schoolhouses near to North Topeka
where a B-ptist service will be held,
conducted by the young people of the
church.
