ALLEN CHAPEL.

Let not your heart be troubled
was the text of Rev. Isaacs last Sun.
day morning and his inspiring and
hope dispensing sermon was an un-
answerable appeal to trust in the
author of the above text who
fails to fulfill his promise Rev.
Isaacs' Sunday school class carried
off the banner and despite the cold,
had a record attendance. Lovers of
the afternoon Sunday school viii have
their desire realized, for on or be-
fore $500 O'Clock there will be a ses-
sion in addition to the $3.50 A. NJ. ses-
sion. The ban on weekly service
of course prevented class, but the
trustees and stewards assembled
Tuesday night at the parsonage and
arranged a budget Of about $4,000
covering all the finances of the
church for the year so that if 500
members will pay 80 cents in their
envelopes per Sunday. 10 cents Of
which is class dues, there'H be 10 9th
er collections during any service and
all the obligations including dollar
money will be met. If these 500 mem
bers do this. no one will be called up
on to contribute more than $500 dur
ing the year. The Sunday School
budget is slightly under $4,000. I'm
der this plan the church yill be in a
position to do her duty to the Com
munity and help in real social uplift.
Last Saturday Rev. Isaacs attend
ed the session of the Federated Negro
Charities and has succeeded Rev.
Thomas on the Childrens' Home
Board. Thus, he is throwing himself
with energy into worthwhile commun.
ity interests. AS the officials were
about to leave the parsonage Mrs
Isaacs attracted their attention to the
dining room where a dainty but sub.
~stantial spread was laid and in the
words of Dunbar, most assumptions.
ly'' enjoyed. 1t is declared that Mrs
Isaac is in the front rank of those
who have presided as hostess in the
parsonage of historic Allen.

RESOLUTIONS.

Whereas, it has been our misfor-
tune to lose from our chain of Wood
craft, our most esteemed neighbor
and Supervisor, Rev. w. A. Campbell.
Our hearts are all bowed down in
sorrow. Another link of Woodcraft
has been broken. We loved neighbor
Campbell, we esteemed him as a God
sent minister, we esteemed him as
u great leader in Woodcraft, we
miss his fraternal remarks.
His footsteps and voice are hushed,
his sunny smiles especially when he
is talking of Woodcraft, in the hall on
in the streets we shall never see
again. Little did we thing on last
Sunday when he preached that most
wonderful sermon at St. John A. NJ.
L. Church that death was so near
and before another Sunday his great
voice was hushed to be heard nc more
But while our hearts are sad and
our eyes are dim with tears in SYM
pathy for the loved ones he left to
mourn for him, we know in that Res
direction morning we shall see him
again. When the mist has rolled in
splendor, in the beauty of the hills,
and the sunshine falls in gladness
on the river and rill we recall our
fathers promise, we shall know our
Supervisor better when the mists
have rolled away; yes, we shall know
him, never more to parton the dawn
ing of that morning on that bright
and happy day, we shall know our
neighbor Campbell when the mist has
rolled away.
Sleep on Neighbor Campbell and take
your rest,
Camp No. 5 that you loved so well,
Worked so patiently with

TAINS HER CHOIR.

A very beautiful party was that
given Monday night, December LIST,
by Mrs. Louise Stewart, organist of
Ebenezer A. NJ. E. Church, ocmpli-
mentary to the members of the
Choir. All met at the parsonage at
s.: 90 o'clock and three seven passen-
ger cars conveyed the jolly crowd ac-
companied by Rev. and Mrs. w. T.
Osborne to the beautiful residence of
Mrs. Stewart, 1923 n. 9Th street, Kan
sas City, Kansas. We were very
cordially welcomed by the hostess
and her two charming sisters who
seemed to vie with each other in
making our stay pleasant. Needless
to say the entire evening was de-
l~ightfully spent when a Ouija Board
furnished plenty of amusement for us
all. Other games were played and
the male ~quartette also entertained
us while Mrs. Ada Browns piano Sc
lections and singing were very much
enjoyed. OF course the luncheon was
a very pleasant realization of pre-
vious anticipation. 1t, too, was ex-
cellent. We very regretfully said
adieu when the honk, honk of the
autos announced the hour of eleven.
We ALL had a GOOD time and were
very delightfully."- entertained. Long
may u hostess be with us in our
choir work and long may our pleas
ant relations continue.
