The people of Kansas City, Kan
sas, are glad to welcome the Revs.
Elmer M. M. Wright, as priest-in-
charge of the Church of the Ascen-
sion, Kansas City, Kansas, who sue
ceeds the Reverend M. E. Spatches,
who has recently entered upon a larg-
or field of service in the Church of
Our Merciful Savior, Louisville, Ky.
Communicates as we'll as friends
of the Church of the Ascension are in
spired by the coming of an enthusi-
astic young mar into a field filled with

Father Wright is a Virginian. Aft
er having been graduated from the
Seminary he served the early part of
his ministry in Houston, Va. He
then received a call to become pas
tor of st. Andrews Church, Lexing-
ton, KY, where he served for two
years. While serving as missionary

principal of st. Andrews Kindergar-
ten, he was advanced to the priest
hood on the oath of June, 1914, in

Father Wright has had quite an eX-
perience while administering to the
spiritual welfare of the boys on the
other side and has many interesting
storis to tell the public as to his trav-
els, experiences in and impression OF
the war and the French people.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
Rev. w. A. Bowren. Pastor.


The cornerstone laying which was
to have been had June LIST and had to
be postponed on account of rain, was
held Sunday, June Sth. The Oper-
ative Sons Lodge, G. U. o. F., No.
2136, assisted by the Knights of Ply
thias, E. & W. Hemisphere had
charge of the ceremony and the event
was a success, there being $2SS.99
raised.
We had our Sunday School at the
usual hour. Sister Frances Watson
in her place as superintendent. The
attendance was very good and an ex-
cellent lesson was had. The pastor
preached at the morning service from
Malchai, $40, which was a very able
effort. The attendance was large. The
new church is going up rapidly to
have been handicapped so often by
rains. The pastor, Rev. Bowren, is
constantly on the job and reminds one
of Nehemiah when he was rebuilding
the walls of Jerusalem after the Res
toration.
The B. Y. P. U. had a splendid ses-
sion at $3.50 p. m. and the topic for
discussion was very interesting. The
evening services were well attended
and Rv. Ishman preached a splendid
sermon.
The Sunday School and B. Y. P. u.
are representing this week in the Kan
sas Baptist State Sunday School Con-
vention and B. Y. P. u, which will
convene with the King Solomon Bap-
fist Church, Third and Garfield.
The pastor preached the funeral of
Mrs. Mollie Williams at the Fraternal
Hall Monday, June 10Th. The church
extends its heartfelt sympathy to the
bereaved.

flock.

well attended and quite a deal of in
terest was taken in the lesson. The
lesson was taught by Mrs. Rogers,

very fine sermon. Rev. Smith is one

who espouse the Masters cause. MAY
he live long and grow strong.
