THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE LOGANSPORT TOWN SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION HOLDS GREAT SESSION. VOL. 13 NO. 51 Northside Schoolhouse, Dist. No. 50 on April 8, proved to be a place of wonderful display of talent and intelligence. Bro. W. J. Washington, the live-wire of the Community opened the school on time and generalized its work according to program. The Sunday School was conducted in a mass-meeting by a sister who was willing to give everyone a chance, and was conciled by Bro. M. S. Jones, the man of the hour and beacon light of this noble people. The singing was fine and prayer by Sister Mary E. Ross, was fervent. After Sunday School, President W. E. Ross was introduced, also Bro. N. W. Ward. Chairman, Program Committee arrived and the meeting went into their hands. Then we heard anthems, fervent prayers, etc. We spent a few minutes in a covenant meeting and it was wonderful to hear the faith expressed in the Master by both white and black. Rev. J. D. Wilson was chosen to conduct the meeting and he set things afire on the start. The Olivet and Oakley Choirs furnished very nice music; also the children's choir which was all right. A little girl gave the review of last quarter's lesson orally, while another reviewed the last lesson; both were fine. Elder T. Smith of Wichita, preached a strong sermon on "Friendship." He warmed things up with the spirit of truth. Adjournment was a welcome hour and made very delicious with the many good eatables that awaited the hungry bodies; for a while we thought we were in the land of plenty, where catering could not come. Fine cooks and plenty to cook was our conclusion. Cured ham, chicken, guinea, cakes, pies, etc., showed up until it looked a shame. Time soon rushed us back into the church, where we took up another phase of the program. Listening to the papers on Sunday School Work by the experienced, children's program, which showed the signs of many diamonds in the rough. The little folks really did well. Introduction of visitors brought before us some noble and big-hearted Christians both white and black, who made some fine talks. We especially remember interest shown in the meeting by our white friends who demonstrated that true religion has no color, but we are all one in Christ Jesus. Bro. Harrold Washington delivered a splendid oration showing the sign of an exceptional ability. The Baratone Solo by Bro. N. W. Ward was sweet and effective:—"In the Eternal City." Elder T. Smith being sick, gave his address to Rev. J. D. Wilson, who proved his worth to the race as an orator and thinker; giving the medicine in full dose that will do all men good. Bro. H. T. Sims spoke on "Regeneration and its Evidences," which brought much applausing and hand-shaking. We enjoyed the accurate report made by the Sunday School, by Miss Annie E. Williams and others. Miss Williams is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and has the distinction of being the Beacon Light of this community. It was our good fortune to meet the splendid Dr. W. E. Cary, who is a power for good to the people of Russell Springs. He is not a talker, but a doer. At the close of another intellectual treat, we were driven down to Rev. and Mrs. Finley's home, a neat place showing that pride lived and ruled suprema, there we met Mrs. Jane Jackson and her noble son, who is looking forward to greater things for the race. We would like for you to know that we stopped first in the home of Mrs. Miles, a widow woman with only two sons, which was a home of happiness and flowers, showing all signs of prosperity. The homes for a greater part are dirt houses, but are very comfortable and of plenty, all of them. We are sorry we left Mrs. Miles sick and hope she will soon be all right. It was her car which met us at the station. The night service was opened by Bro. E. W. Douglass and Rev. W. F. Finley offered a strong prayer for the work and the workers. Sweet and spiritual singing made the meet- Merchants Who Advertise in a Race Paper, Desire Your Patronage—Give Them a Trial. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, April. 8, 1921. ing interesting, throughout. You would not want to meet a more noblit man than Bro. Floyd Allen; it was our good pleasure to spend one night with him and Rev. J. D. Wilson at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bennie Allen, who have the right idea of making a country life worth while. Rev. M. S. Jones delivered the closing sermon, with strong reasoning of Divine Truths and Christian Encouragement. His splendid wife was present throughout the services and played well her part. Thus passed a great trip among the pioneer settlers of Logan Coun- which leads us to believe that our people know no failure, when given half a chance. It was the pleasure of Mr. Bennie Allen to bring us back to the station where we started for home. Through the kindness of Rev. M. S. Jones who 'phoned ahead of us, Rev. L. L. Stewart, the strong young pastor of Garden City, made our stay over, a source of pleasure; meeting many friends of old and adding more new ones to our list, as Mr. T. L. McGee, Rev. Henderson, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Carter, Mr. and Mrs. Berry and her accomplished daughter. Rev. Stewart has a fine field there and we hope he will make good. Governor Refused to Reinstate Jailer. (By The Associated Negro Press) Frankfort, Ky., April 1.—De caring that a jailer should protect a prisoner in his custody with the last ounce of strength and with all his courage and watchfulness, Governor Edwin P Morrow last Wednesday, re- fused to reinstate John H. Edger jailer of Woodford county whom he removed from office because he was alleged to have permitted a mob to take Richard James, a Negro, from jail and lynch him March 12. "It is the duty of a jailer," said Governor Morrow, "to resist a mob until he is beaten into insensibility or killed. Accepting Edgar's own statement is facts in the case he did nothing to defend the prisoner, asked for no help and demanded no assistance." Edgar admitted, while being examined at his hearing today for reinstatement, that he had made no outcry or call for assistance when the mob came to his house for the keys to the jail, as he said he did not wish to be killed or have members of his family killed in protecting a prisoner. The hearing was an all-day session, the jailer being represented by Senator Charles H. Harrison, Field McLeod and Alfred Nuchol, of Vermailles. Attorney General Charles I. Dawson cross-examined the witnesses and was assisted by Commonwealth's Attorney Victor Bradley and County Attorney V. D. Jessie, of Woodford county. The hearing was in the of fice of Governor Morrow. Summers May go to Monrovia. Washington, April 1.—The latest news concerning the Liberian Consul General situation is that John B. Summers of Philadelphia is more than likely to receive the appointment of vice Consul at Monrovia Senator Penrose is said to be behind Summers and to be pushing the Philadelphia's claims for the J. E. HUBBARD, Grenada, Miss. Fair Star of hope when didst thou rise, When didst thy splendor illume the skies; Whence from resprite thy resplendent rays, Resolved and dauntless acquit thy, lays? When didst thou climb olympic’s height, And there like Zeus disperse the night; Eschewing wrong enshrining right, Ensconing the weak effacing might? When wisdom’s torch bold ignorance shook, Thy gracious rays pierced each cranny nook; Banishing darkness, banishing wrong, Dispair and oblivion their funeral song. Thou awoke a tempest within the breast, Royal enthronement efficacious zest; Like a morning elf with hastening flight, Spreading profusion and glad delight. Manning their barks on a storm swept sea, Followers and makers of destiny; The pilgrims adored thee on that tractless waste, When seeking an asylum for an abiding place. So when traders to Africa brimming with graft, Secured royal captives and at misery laughed; Thou guided their barks as westward they raced, Captain and captives mercifully graced. Years of bitter toil we were destined to see, But they were our making and we are thankful to thee; Who gave us discretion to shun every snare, Set to entrap us as a lion from his lair. Thou has thy place in the music of the spheres, Dull ears scarce knew thou was bridging the years; Thy rhymth and melodies in pleasant accords, Did heave the breast of the great war lords. Seething they gathered for the nearing fray, On they came in battle array; From Maine’s tall pines where, the morning dawns, From the western plains or the evening lawns. Both fought for freedom and right as he saw, But one for the union and upholding the law; Each prayed that heaven his support would be, But God favors right and equity. The conflict grew mighty and desperate apace, Each trusting thee his cause to grace; Homes were wrecked and country laid waste, But thou scowled bitterly in the tyrants. The fetters once forged dismantled now lay, Steeped in the blood of the battle scarred fray; Hearts born to weep for loved ones slain, Wnose footsteps endearing they would ne’er hear again. But thou almost seemed cast from Delphi’s steep, When the tyrant awoke from an unrighteous sleep; Groping and grappling over a great abyss, Into which ne fell when his venomous shaft its aim did miss. Worse grieved than Ameratsu injured and insulted in her cave, Repining to error thou away once gave; Aroused from solitude as if by Uzume’s sprightly dance so gay, Inou hast awakened sweet memories of the dawning of a better day. From cringing and cowering thou bidst me arise, Transix my gaze on your fair cerulean skies; Despering strife and bitter turmoil, And assert my rights on liberty’s soil. Triumphant star I still follow thy lead, To every word or look I’ll fondly heed; I trust thy fortune tho bitter my lot, Abide with me in mansion or “cot.” If once I’m deceived, many times I’ve been, I’ll still look for pearls and diamonds and then; In transports of joy to the Elysian shore, Thou will give me a welcome when this fleeting life is o’er. But while here I stay thy wooing I’ll court, Surely ever and anon I will not be the “scape goat;” For deigning men in an anxious hour, To be shorn again when they come into power. Oh filial star in the hour of thy boon, Shine forth resplendent this day at noon; Let prejudice writhe in its cavernous tomb, Paas me no more thru the shadows of gloom. I’ve followed thy ensign for hundred of years, Reaping oh so often sorrow and bitter tears; Tho ostracised I’ve emitted no groan, In Thy vaulted glory give me my own.

Klugh of Boston Senator McCorimck introduced Bill Creating Commission on Lynching. Washington. April 1. Senator Medill McCormick has introduced in the Senate a bill to create a Commission on Lynching. It reads as follows: Be it enacted by the Senator and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That a commission is hereby created to be called the Commission of Lynching. The commission shall be composed of five members to be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senator as soon as practicable after the enactment of this law.

Rev. Klugh discussed the "Race Problem" and was lustily applauded by the large audience present. The meeting was held under the auspices of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. PRICE. FIVE CENTS PRESIDENT HARD ING IS AT THE WHEEL. PRESIDENT HARD ING IS AT THE WHEEL. President May Mention Lynching—Line up of Appointments. By The Negro Associated Press Washington, April 1, President Harding is functioning. It matters not whether it be in the matter of Central American Republics, the settlement of dispute between American Packing interests, or the distribution of fruit from the political Plum Tree. The President is at the wheel and he wields a firm and steady hand. He is passing over obstacles now and then, but he has not had a single puncture up to date. Some Presidential driver. The Honorable William Howard Taft should now be paged, and with him the ancient and dishonorable fraternity of "Lily Whites." For the word has gone out from the last place where words cau go out, and that is from the President himself, that he will make no appointments where factional troubles have not been agreed upon and settled before the applicants for officers finally reach him, and that if said troubles are not settled, there will be no appointments. The result of this descision has been a mighty hurrying of white Republicans of the South to find the location and whereabouts of Colored Republicans and make both peace and satisfactory terms with the aforesaid Colored Republicans, and to have them make the claim that all the sensational talk about driving the black brother out of politics is mere bosh, piffle and the stuff that dreams are made of. Therefore, the Honorable Walter L. Cohen of Louisiana; th e Honorable Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia; th e Honorable Perry W. Howard, of Mississippi and the Honorable Robert R. Church of Memphis, Tennessee, are being seriously and honest-to-God-ly reckoned with in th e distribution of patronage in their respective states. Negotiations have been under way for several days with white leaders in the effort to smooth cut the differences, and to amicably distribute federal patronage in a manner that will be satisfactory to all, especially the President. The Associated Negro Press can state with authority that final agreements in the list of southern appointments include the names of several Colored applicants for various position. A special statement from R R. Church appears in several daily newspapers throughout the South in which he explains the program of legislation as outlined by him and his associates, and denounces as untrue the report that the headquarters established at 1216 Pennsylvania avenue are solely for the distribution of federal patronage. On the matter of passing legislation a gainst lynching, Mr. Church says: "I would rather see this done than to see ten thousand Colored men appointed (Continued on page two) Saved from Mob in Little Rock. (By The Associated Negro Press) Little Rock, Ark., March, 25- A mob of 2009 young men of Little Rock marched on the state penitentiary intent upon lyching Emanuel West, colored who was identified by a young white woman as the Negro who attacked her last Saturday night. A crowd of several thousand persons in motor cars watched the scene, while a large detachment of police, deputy sheriffs and a machine-gun detachment of the military police dispersed the mob. Congo Awakening Awakening to their Treatment. (By The Associated Negro Press) Antwern, Belgium, March 25. -Natives of the equatorial district of Congo Free State have risen and burned fifty trading posts, according to a wireless dispatch from Boma, Congo Free State, published by the newspaper Nepune. It is reported that the natives resented unfair payment by white traders. THE HONORABLE PHIL H. BROWN, who has been the chief functionary of publicity for the Republican National Committee for the past sixteen years, is wearing a smile of satisfaction, for he has every assurance that the answer is "Yes" to the patronage query: "Is My Name Written There?" The Hon. P. H. B smiled, laughed, frowned and delivered a sermon on Anointment" when he read the recent issue of the St. Louis Argus. Rev. M W. D. Norman, one of the most eloquent ministers in the country, pastor of the very prosperous Metropolitan Baptist church, preached to an audience on a recent Sunday on the text selected by President Harding for his inaugural oath: "He hath snowed thee. O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of thee but to do justly, show mercy and walk humbly before thy God." Mrs. G. S. Williams of Savannah, Ga., one of the most ardent leaders among the women, with her assistant, Mrs. W. H Holcomb, of Atlanta, visited the capital during inauguration. The story these women of culture tell of their fights to get the women of Georgia to register and vote, and the threats and handicaps they encountered would stir the blood of a dying saint Mrs. H. R. Butler was a member of the party The Honorable George E. Haynes, Director of Negro Economics in the Department of Labor, has published a bulletin on the work of his department that makes interesting and valuable reading. Dr. Haynes is greatly impressed with his new chief, secretary of Labor Davis Er and Mrs. Haynes have hosts at a number of elaborate dinner parties at their resides recently. Dr. Haynes has an elaborate program that he is hoping to carry out under the new administration, and he cannot see why his bureau should in any sense be regarded as political, so far as plum picking is concerned. The Honorable Emmitt J. Scott, Secretary-Treasure of Howard University, is working for the best interests of the Rice in his quiet but firm and convincing way Statetmanhike and ultra-diplomatic in his adventures in the realm of Political Power. Dr. Scott has a method all his own which certainly impresses all who think and wish to see fair and impartial advancement, the Doctor seeks no offices, according to the best information obtainable but he will undoubtedly qualify as one of the confidential advisors of the Harding administration.

Judge Harsh's court presented the unusual spectacle last Thursday of having a witness brought into court from the General Hospital and testifying while she lay on a stretcher, so weak that the jury could scarcely hear what she said She was Lillie Murphy.

"That's sure enough leadership." wrote in one man. PRESIDENT MAY MEN. President Harding, in his special message to Congress may take occasion to make special reference to the national crime of lynching, as part of the Republican platform adopted in Chicago. This is the opinion of many in close touch with the trend of events. It is known that there is a very decided sentiment in Congress against lynching, and while it is definitely known that more than one measure will be immediately presented to Congress, an open declaration from the President will very materially help the cause. The external line-up of appointments continues to be almost as interesting as the batting order in a World's Series baseball game. It is very definitely announced that the Hon. Perry W. Howard, of Jackson, Miss, is being backed by his friends for the position as assistant Attorney General. Mr. Howard is a lawyer of well-known standing, the attorney for several national organizations, was secretary of the Chicago Bureau during the last campaign, and came within an inch of being national committeeman from his state at the time Postmaster General Will H. Hays was elected national chairman of the Republican party in St. Louis. As a friendly rival for the same place, the Hon. James A. Cobb, of the District of Columbia Bar, is being groomed, by his friends Mr. Cobb is well known as an attorney, was formerly Assistant District Attorney, is a member of the faculty of Howard University, and an active worker in the N. A. A. C. P. There has been a big surprise with reference to the office of Register of the Treasury. Hon. Charles A. Cottrill seems to have the pole in this interesting contest, with a long line of "Willing Rarcuses" followed in his wake. However, the authentic word has eked out by more or less resolution to the effect that "Whereas, in bygone days when Bruce, Vernon, Napier et al, weilded the sugrainre flourish that makes Uncle Sam's paper money legal tender, there were about sixteen attaches to said department, be it resolved as a present truth that there are now, under the exigencies in liberty etc., brought on by the World War, more than 1,500 persons are now registering under the department of the Register." Can an American citizen of color register the register for 1,500 people? Thus far the answer is, and should be, Yes. But it is not yet final. All attention is focused now to the opening day of the new Congress, April 11, at which time there will be the beginning of the most far reaching legislation ever known to the nation. Can Understand the Negroes More. By The Negro Associated Press Chicago, April 11 Consternation prevailed in police circles last Friday night after it had been discovered during the day that a group of South Side young Negroes had been making secret purchases of firearms for the past few weeks. More than a thousand of young Colored men are said to be included in this traffic of rifles, revolvers and ammunition. Fred, Biffar, a dealer in firearms and in nutrition in North Dearborn Street and Virgil Meyers, a young Negro who lived at 3400 South Webash avenue, have been apprehended as the principle in the wholesale selling-the white man as the dispenser and the Negro as the go between in the transactions. The disclosure was brought about by the voluble enthusiasm of Meyers. His frequent visits to the gun shop of Siffar were noticed by Walter Copeland and Earnest S. Savage, two Colored police officers, who ingratiated into the good graces of the Colored man and learned from him the secret of his calls to the gun dealers's place, volunteering their co operation to join with him in the profits and distribution of arms among the Negroes in the city, the officers were taken to the delivery station at the home of Meyers, where he opened his trunk and showed them ten revolvars twenty five boxes of ammunition and five holsters. The arrest followed. Meyers told the police he had been buying the firearms and ammunition from Riffar for several weeks and selling the same, at large profit, to Colored men in various sections of the city. He confessed to selling to more than 300 persons but efforts to get him to disclose the homes of any of the people involved in the transaction failed completely. The police are making ailigent search through the Negro sections in the hope that they will discover more of Biffar's agents. This step is being followed because of the fear that Chicago may be the supply station of a lynching reprisal movement somewhere in the South. Attention is being called to the fact that the Negroes in Springfield, Ohio, appeared to be amply supplied with firearms and ammunition during the recent riot trouble in that city. It is thought that the supply may have been procured in Chicago and that Buffar and Mevers were the agents for the Colored Chicagoans. This, however, has not been confirmed by the local police authorities. In the meantime, Biffar affects to krow nothing beyond the selling of the material to Megers and the young Negro is standing pat and keeping his mouth tightly shut. Athletic, Tenth Annual Meeting. (By The Negro Associated Press.) Hampton, Va., April 1, -The Colored Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association he'd its tenth annual meeting in Richmond, at Virginia Union University. It announced gambling and advocated the development of physical education.

March 25. - Attention to the splendid value of the Wabash Avenue Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association as a social welfare agency is being noted by the local daily press and the public at large. Under the guidance of its Executive Secretary, George Arthur, this Branch has proven to be an effective agency for practical good among colored men in all walks of life. One of the leading local dailies said recently in the course of an editorial comment on Mr. Arthur's work: "The Wabash Avenue Department of the Young Men's Christian Association in this city is devoted solely to the interests of the Negro Race. Under the direction of its Executive Secretary, Mr. George Arthur, it is playing a most valuable part in the task of readjusting the newly arrived Negro to the conditions of metropolitan life.

Public attention is also being fixed on the Wabash Avenue Branch by the announcement of Mr. Arthur that 123,269 men took advantage of the social and welfare offerings of the Branch last year. Secretary Arthur has just completed his arrangements for the reception and care of the large number of colored summer students who come to Chicago to summer courses at the various institutions of learning in this vicinity.

If hell, is any worse that Georgia, we would like to see the reasoning that would make it; the only difference we see the devil would not slaughter his own emps and Georgia will. Georgia knows that you are subject to her every hellish wish and then will mob her own for being so helpless and trusting her too much. Just a little work could put Mississippi and Arkansas in the same linelight; if anything worse Oh! If the bayous, lakes, rivers and nightly graves could talk or if that "pet Negro" would relieve his conscience of the many secrets that he knows; there would be more southern gentlemen in jail than "black criminals." If this is a Christian part of the country, then we failed to understand what the Christ meant to teach, when he said; "The second is like unto it, thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself." We can't think that a Christian government could stand to see, the bravest soldiers and the most loyal citizens treated that way. It does seem that the leaders would see the Hand of God on the wall of this civilization before it is too late. Such a beautiful beginning to end in ruin, broken to splinters on the rock of prejudice and greed. Mr Glenn, of Kansas City, representing the Raincoat Co., called to see us while in the city. Mr. R.

McCullough left For Chanute, where she was called on the account of the severe illness of her mother. The agent was very much impressed to see Mrs B. A. Reed, the matron of Phillips Wheatley Orphans' Home, out to church Sunday morning. She had with her seven or eight of the finest looking youngsters you ever saw; the scene so much impressed me that I paid her and the young folks a short call Sunday afternoon, and in my visit I inspected the home and found one of the best kept children's homes any where. Mrs. Reed is the right woman for the job for she seems to thoroughly understand the keeping and mothering little ones you who are loyally supporting this wonderful work should get busy as they can use your help as you may have some orphans of your own some day. Mr. Chas. Childs is in doors, having been indisposed for the past few weeks. His friends are anxious about his recovery We missed very greatly the ever faithful Mrs. M. L. Copeland the past week.

For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotton son, so that you and I might have eternal life, that gives us to know that love is no new thing, you and I are spared because God has loved us with an everlasting love, and until you and I as Christians learn to love our enemies, we are missing the mark. Just stop and think how Jesus left His throne in heaven to come to a sin cursed world to redeem man because He loved him so. And this is just how you and I must love before we can get to heaven. A very impressive communion service was witnessed by all those present Sunday morning, one addition. Night Sermon Theme, "Where Art Thou?" Gen. 3rd chapter 9th verse, woman's being tempted and thus causing man to sin and be driven from the garden, thus was the starting of the human race, these with many other facts were explicitly handled by the pastor. Prof. Casper Haynes is officiating at the organ for a few Sundays; serveral beautiful pieces of music were played by him during the offering of services. Sunday night. This installation of our pipe organ marks one of the closing chapters towards the completion of our church. This organ was ordered more than a ye ar ago from the Carl Hoffman music Co. of Leavenworth Kansas, and was built by the P. Moler Pipe Organ M'f'trs, of Hagerstown Md, at a cost of $3500. We will give complete description of it in next issue. There will be a special featured concert at Calvary Baptist church Monday night April 11th. St. Matthew C. M. E. Sunday was a glorious day at St. Matthew C. M E Church. The Sunday School was largely attended. At eleven o'clock the pastor liev. H. H. Edmond ascended the rostrum and lined hymn No. 560 "And are we yet alive." which the congregation sang with the spirit and understanding. After the usual order of opening the service the pastor announced general class which is the first Sunday in each month. He spoke brief of his Christian experience and each Christian followed briefly speaking of their fellowship whith Christ. Every one seemed to be intellectually lifted and impressed to reach the highest mark in Christ. Strong men and women wept bitterly for joy. A large audience was present to witness this spiritual feast. The pastor announced his subject for evening service "Walking with Jesus." At 7:50 prayer service began led by Bro J. Hood. At 7:40 the pastor lined his hymn No 222 "Jesus the name high over all." He announced his text St. Luke 2132, subject "Walking with Jesus." After he had talked with the Lord which was tilled with the Holy spirit. Next in order was the Lord's feast in which twenty-one united. There was one strong man who came forward and united with the church. So come out and see what St Matthew C. M. E Church is doing. The N. C. Cleaves Literary Society of Thursday night was one of the greatest features of the week. We were very highly entertained by some of the best talents of the North End, Mrs Ola Webb recited a reading from Dunbar, the solos by Miss Alberta Tolbert and Mrs. Mattie Steward were good. The program for Thursday night April 7, will consist of "Toe Greasing and Box Supper." Come out to the N. C. Cleaves, you won't regret it. Reporter, Sopronia Edmond New Hope. Baptist So many good things were said about how Christians should live, that our last session in Sunday School will be long remembered. The great truths were gladly taught and learned. Sunday morning, after reading as a scripture lesson, Dan 6, our minister, Dr. E T Fishback, chose for a text Dan. 12:3, subject—"The campaign of Education in our Preaching." By the guidance of the Holy Spirit, he delivered instructive, intellectual, soul-stirring sermon. Those who love the young, rejoiced in the B. Y P U. on account of the splendid meeting which was held Sunday evening. At seven-thirty, many bright testimonies of the goodness of God were given; after-which the congregation enjoyed a brief discourse by our pastor on, "The campaign of Evangelism in our teaching." The Lord's Supper was observed. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Titterington were called to Carthage, Mo. on account of the death of his mother, Mrs. Millie Titterington, who died March 27, at the age of 115 years. To mourn her loss are six sons. Our symyathy is extended to the bereaved family, whose beloved died in full triumph of faith. Mr. Reuben Johnson, father of Mrs. John E. Lewis, fell from a wagon recently and fractured two ribs and dislocated his arm. He is one-hundred and two years of age and naturally this illness is hard for him. Mr. Robert Martin was called to Clarksville, Tenn., last week to attend the funerals of his wife's brother and uncle. We sincerely mourn with those who mourn. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Ray are the proud parents of a ten pound girl whom Ellene Mary. Three weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Pryor became the possessors of a fine little daughter. WHY NOT GO THROUGH THE WORLD WELL DRESSED?

E Douglas Pastor. We are pleased to say that our services were very pleasing on last Sunday. It being the first Sunday in the month, our leaders were at their best, and every thing seemed far. Our Sunday School opened at ten o'clock, with Brother Washington at his post of duty and seemed full of the spirit of God and the teachers seem to have been in line. Entering into the religious and social side of christianity with this lesson, "The ideal Christian; or the Christian living with others" from Rom 12:1,2,6-21. And the golden Text: "As ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. Luke 6:31. The lesson was taught and enjoyed by all present, and the hearers received it joy fully. A transformed life as it was dwelt upon by the pastor Rev. Douglass was wonderful. At 11, o'clock song services followed with the pastor stating that his Text: Luke 6:31 Sub. "Our action towards each other" The sermon was enjoyed. The pastor spoke of the nine elements composing the Christian character, dwelling upon especially upon the first; which is truth, as is found in the arch of the Christian character. 6 o'clock p.m. the B. Y. P. U opened with Bro. Lemuel Newton the president, and Rev. B. J. Garv the Vice president, and very splendid session was had. We have four groups in the union now known as group 1, 2, 3, and 4. I am sure that we will do some very effective work now, the Choir is doing some nice work under the training-ship of Prof. E. M. Barnes, our choir is improving nicely. Our prayer meeting is in fine shape and we thank God for it. At 7:40, p.m. the pastor, after reading by Rev. Gary, and one prayer by Rev. W. C. Smith of Texas announced his Text from Heb. 10:11. "For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God." Subject "Heaven as a real estate." The services were truly enjoyed with a splendid congregation, collection $5.40 all of which we thank our God, the God of our mothers and fathers. Dr. Douglas will be out of the State for a few days this week, but will soon return to his post of duty. We ask the prayers of every Christian friend to the cause of God. Rev. R. W. Williams B. Th. pastor, of Second Baptist Church, of Newton, Kansas, speaks in high terms of Rev. J H. Ralmey, and his good people of Great Bend, Kansas. I had the privilege of preaching and battling against sin, and the devil for three weeks, and many were brought into the Kingdom of Christ.

Pastor Rlamey has done a great work in Great Bend, and Mother Ramey stands by his side ready at every beck and call to do service for the Kingdom of God. The good people of Great Bend, Kansas are a hospitable people and they do know how to make it pleasant for a visitor. I was entertained in many homes with the pastor, and no pains were spared to make it pleasant for us. Dr Anderson, pastor of the A M. E. church, is a splendid character, and is much admired by the people of Great Bend. Pastor Anderson was present each night with a large number of his members and showed that he was interested from every angle. It was with joy that I could speak about Christ and His Kingdon While laboring in this revival, death visited one of the houses of the city Ohl what will his record be? This man believed in the church and did much in his way for the support of it, and yet he did not profess to be a Christian. At the death of this man, many of the unsaved were made to know that God has no respective person, and when He calls, you must answer, prepared or unprepared I had an invitation extended me to meet the ladies in their Magnolia Art Club, which was a treat to me, and here where I met some of the best women of Great Bend, Kansas. I am proud that I am identified with this dark Rase of mine, and see the possibilities for them. As I sat quietly, listened, and gazed with intense interest my heart was full with inspiration. Later I was introduced to the Ladies Club, and was received with a loud burst of applauses. May God bless this great people. I remain yours, R. W. Williams, B. Th.
