When we werc rcent'y in Att hta, we sought op- pertunity to find out what goes on in this busy office suite of tireo rooms in one rorner of the Great Ocd Fet- low Build ng in the course of a day. We remembered when the Natioral Association fcr the Advancement of Co'ored People wes meeting in At- lint’, a represertative of the Urban Lenque pave at least 15 hours of ser- vice at the reg'stpatcn headquarters fn aid of this other organ‘zation. ‘This gives an ideo of the possibiity ef co-operrt'on rreng Negro orzanl- rettons that are carrying out differ- ent narts of the one common program of that race. For example, it was the cust netive opportumty of the N. A. A.C. P. to organize the Colored reonle of Atlanta into ¢: vot’ng and pubicity ‘power that could compel the city officta’s to promise a certain pact of the big beni issue for a Ne- pro Hieh School: but on our Jat vie- it to Atlante, 2 saw enough of Jesse ©, Thomas’ offce to understand thet efter this bond issue was voted and the pledges made, it will be iarge'y the opportunity of the Urban League to see that the pledge fs carried out, that @ proper and su'trble location fir the sehocl Is rreured and t'at other important details of convent- ence and recommodation are respected. If you stand by as an onlooker fa the the Atlanta office of the League you will see a procession hike this: -A committee of citizens formulat- ing p’ans for street improvement in the Colored sections, to be approved by Bond Commissoner, Another group checking up on ed- ucational and housing surveys and asking suggestions conserning the Colored High School plans, in accor- dance with bond “campaign pledges.” The telephone rings. It is the Re- corder's Court. Some one in troud‘e It is a young Colored woman who re- fused to pay a second fare on the Jim Crow end of the street car.) The Field Secretary who has some entree with these authorities, is asked to come and get this gffl out of the clutches of this awful thing. Then a group of Colored nurses, employed hy the city, are met to con- sider ways of bringing pressure to bear for the remedy of some condi- tion. Even a committee of physicians eome in to ask information on mid- wifery, from # survey made by the Secretary looking toward the passage of a state law on the subject. The Colored ,matron from potlce headquarters, who seems to have been appointed by influence of the League, comes into get informetion about smoothing over the difficulties she fints self “up against”— Then another wo- man, sent by Travellérs’ Aid, robbed on train and stranded. —Yet another wo- man, bringing a daughter who neeis psychopathic treetment, A father brings in an incorrigib‘e ton. A “B'g Brother” seeks thru the League office to get in touch with a - “Little Brother.” And this League {s continually busy with the DETAILS of the lives of WHITE and COLORED people. For example, ever sinze there hes been # Recorder's Court, Colored women pris- oners have been made ta s’eep in ths breement of the jail on steel lattices, without mattresses, spring, sheet or pillowcases, The influence of the League hashad them moved to the second floor and provided with human sleeping accommodations, ‘The Urban Lengue supplies teachers in all the counties of the state thet operate two months’ schools for Col. ered children in the summer time. ¢fAnd we trust they are working to make these schools better and longer, if possible ‘tho’ not lonver in summer.) And 80 the work goes on through th's organizat 99, supplementary ty thet of other orguntrations, working to better the eond'tion and ra‘se tlic status of the Aimerican Negro, and make America a better pie 11 black and-white to hve in. They o1- | ganize day .nurseries, Boy Scouts, Banking Clubs, Big Brother tnd Sig Sister Movements, They send hun- dreds of questionaires to the indus- tries that employ Colored folk, max- ing suggestions about welfare work and welfare workers, and making complaints where advisable. We have one suggestion to meke, not to the Urban League alone, but to et organizations doing any phase of the work in behalf of {nter-racia? hetterment—That their Executive Staffan should have one Combined An- nual Conference for Harmonfzing and Co-Ordinating Methods, and for Mu- tual Help. . —_ 8 — XMAS EVENT. — . {Ry The Arnociated Negro tress) TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE.

[ Painly the white reces of the world are deenly concerned. It has been widely stated that the boldness of President Harding's utterances in Birmingham, was due to the clesr vision of fast that the world cannot ea on and ovpress derker people. ‘Red and Black,” as attested in one “neo and Black,” as atcested in one of the most significant editoria s ever pubNshed by a dally newspaper. It is plain from the trend of the ed‘toriul, taking Frence as a basis of fustics, that the Tribune fears, that after all, what the dark people of the worll dosire most and particu arly certain elements among black people is “World Dominct‘on.” There has has never been a bolder, albeit, far- fetched int’mation, Says the Tri- bune:— . “Pouge Et Nolr.” “When the American Negro novel-. ist and sociu: philosopher Dubo's whose writings came to the attention of Chirago whites as the result of a Wegro outbrerk of fanaticism on the South side, resultng in Murder, was in France as a delegate to the Pan- African congress, he found that the French attitude toward the African blacks was injurious in one respect.

Last Sunday was a busy day, with the election of officers and putting forth plans for a greater year in every respect at Calvary. The S. S., elceted several new teachers; the music is to be rendered by Mr. Barnes. Mr. Van Leu and Mr. S'ms, violinists and Miss Jones, pianist. The two Unions were very busy also last Sunday in the election of officers and getting ready for a smooth sail for the New Year. The church was equally as busy in a battle for lost souls, that they might enter the kingdom and glorify His Cause. Our pastor was at his best in the morning service, using as his text St. Mark 16:15: "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." So vividly did he picture our dutv as individual members until we saw the whole church at work, preaching the Gospel. He eliminated from our minds all ideas that the Gospel should only be preached by the minister, but that it is every Christian's duty. In the evening he gave us another powerful sermon using for his subject: "Launch Out Into the Deen." We saw from his course of reasoning that the success of the Kingdom depended on the Christians in doing big things for the Master's Cause. When we had listened to these two great sermons, we felt like trained soldiers, and now Calvary Baptist is in one of its hottest battles for the Cause. A'ready 10 have been won for the Kingdom. We expect, with God in front to do great things before this revival is over. Join the army now. St. Matthews C. M. E. Sunday School opened at 9:45 with service; the Vice President, Mr. O. A. Briley, presiding, read for opening 62 Psalm 1-8 with teachers and pupils in their places for study; subject: "Trusting the Word of Jehovah." A wonderful lesson was time'v discussed by each class. Afterwhich the pastor reviewed the lesson to the school; making it very plain—Just as God cared for Elijah, He will care for us if we will but trust Him. At 11:30 the pastor took his stand, reading Isaiah 52:1-2; St. Luke 2:32-29; Text St. Luke 2:34; discussing the surroundings of the birth of Jesus Christ. We feasted from many good things brought to us. 6:30 Enworth League opened with Vice, Mr. J. B. Brown, presiding. Fong service. Subject chanter one of John Wesley, Jr., organized Methodist Young People, which was very interesting. Let us see you in League each Sunday; you are missing something. The church gave a Christmas donation to Sister Clara Fountain one of the oldest members of the church, may be of the city of Wichita. Mr. J. B. Brown toured the pastor, members and friends out to Johnson's farm to have service with her and to present the gift from the church. The W. H. M. Society meets every Thursday; you who miss the Mission, miss many a good treat. Last Thurday after meeting in the home of Mrs. Cole 639 N. Wichita St., our pastor told the Sisters we would stop in to see one of the oldest men in town in person of Bro. Lewis Watley it was his birthday. He resides at 603 N. Main and is only 45 years of age; and to our surprise, the door was opened to us and we must say Mr. and Mrs. Watley surely know how to entertain in this home; we were then treated to many good sets. The Mrs. sion wants to know just when Mr. Watley will be old enough to have another birthday if they are all to be the guests. Opened with S. S.. at 9:30. --- Monday Official Board.

MEMBER OF IRID ASSOCIATED MIDDLE PRIZE FIRST IN SERVICE GO to some Church next Sunday Let us give God a square deal for awhile. THE coiled people are not asleep and while they must win an inch at a time they are also aware MINISTER of the Gospel must think a long ways ahead. He is always paced in a position where "He will be damned if he do and damned if he don't" Therefore he must act fully in accord with the teachings of CHRIST and the rite of his CHURCH regardless of what individuals may say. It is said that many people would feel much more inclined to believe that the president's late address touching on the relations of the races in this country has been fruit if some more tangible consideration was going Rul. It is going to be hard to make a certain class of voters understand why a majority vote in congress cannot overcome Southern malice.. THE Christian Church has been and must continue to be the vital point around which must gather the forces which are to stand for the successful movement of the race toward higher grounds. For the Church to withdraw support after fair consideration from any advanced project must mean that the project cannot ultimately accomplish the greatest good for the greatest number of individuals. It is essential to the future success of the race that some leadership be recognized and appreciated at its full value with honor accordingly. It matters not who the selected leader may be the great demands made upon our race urge that we give him loyal support until he has been found wanting in intelligence or character. It will go down as a great shame in future history if it can be said of the American Negro, "He fell because his women could successfully organize and promote projects but the men of the race could not successfully organize; hence, a one-sided mixture of the race." Watch! Men, you are making future history. It is natural that the black women will eventually feel inclined to drift towards the most successfully organized groups of society with her ever increasing ability to do things. The back man must learn to overcome forces, perhaps innate which withhold him from the glory of organizing and promoting projects for the development of his race or lose the strongest link in the chain of racial success, the admiration of his thinking mates. ```markdown ``` Mrs. Freeman L. Martin, wife of Attty. F. L. Martin now of St. Louis, is visiting in the city. She gave the office force a call Monday aft; room. We are a ways glad to see Mrs Martin. Call again. Mrs. M. Livingston after spending a week visiting with Mrs. Harris in Carthage, Mo., just as she with Mrs. Harris was making ready for a visit in Mississippi, was called home on account of the loss of their home by fire. Mrs. Geo. White peeped in on the office force Wednesday. Mrs. Emma Dunson is ill at her home on Water St. She suffers with LaGripe. A rising vote of thanks was given Mrs. Cassidy. May her return engagement come soon. 1. 5 --- THE colored people are not asleep and while they must win an inch at a time they are also aware that they may lose an inch at a time. EQUAL facilities in all departments; Adequate pay for all teachers; for the black boy and girl with children of other races to stand the same line at the start of the race own the stretch of intellectual training with a star; that p'ays fair. The beat that the other fellow gets is good for our race. Enough SAID! THE man who makes his wife a slave to his jealous pass on is an instrument of Torment well out of place in this modern world when woman is standing forth no longer as a piece of mere property but as one of the factors in a civilisation that is to bring a new race into its own. It is true, we have low, vicious colored women and many of them are mere'v sad results of a dirty cause of a fool husband. b THE Church of Jesus Christ was never intend to be or become a Commercial Institution and the minute it assumes such a trend, it ceases to be a force of Heaven for the upliftment of humanity. Money is not the vital force which must people to God, Love, and Unplastic SERVICE to God and Humanity. Now when the Church makes a definite effort to put these forces to the front in its efforts God will take care of its financial side and commercialism will not be so apparent in its effort s THE trend of diplomatic thought in the world today is relative to such procedure of individuals and governments as will best serve to bring races of people together. The days of segregation, local, national or international must shortly cesae to exist or gradually lead up to the greatest war in the history of the human family. No race that craves segregation in the least degree has caught the inspiration of the hymn of WORLD WIDE BROTHERHOOD, and a new world built upon the principles of the CHRISTIAN RELIGION. Segregate a race and bar it from races accomplishing things for civilization. Racial Segregation is but a step removed from Racial Slavery and the people who encourage it are but heaping up misery for future generations. God in the great principles of natural law made no provision for racial segregation and its entire spirit is an instrument of Hades born out of an egotistic sense of selfishness. PERSONAL Rev. I. B. Boddie is on the sick list we wish for him a speedy recovery. Mrs. W. L. Hutchinson was called home on account of her sick father. We pray for his recovery. The Negro Business League went on record last Sunday in doing some tangible business and from this it hopes to start on its journey for great and substantial things for the city and the race. NOTICE!

Everybody Welcome BAPTIST WOMEN'S MISSIONARY UNION HAVE GREAT MELTING. The meeting of the Colored Women's Missionary Union of Wichita, held in Calvary Baptist Church Sunday afternoon was without doubt one of the greatest meetings in point of attendance and general interest displayed, ever held by Baptist women in this city. The meeting was opened by a song service conducted by Mrs. Ora Carter. After a spirited prayer by Reverend E. T. Fishback, routine business of the organization was considered by the body. Mrs. Ida F. Bates president urged upon the women the vital importance of their religious and charitable work and called for reports of various committees. Madam Rannavaona, chairman of the Social Welfare Committee Madam Copeland, chairman Child Welfare Committee, Madam Gist, chairman of Sunday School and B. Y. P. U., Committee a.l made excellent reports of work accomplished within the last month. A Constitution which has met the full approval of all Baptist forces, was adopted. At the conclusion of the general business of the day the president presented Rev. E. T. Fishback, who introduced Mrs. G. W. Cassidy, a noted mission worker and wife of a former pastor of the First Baptist Church, (white) of this city. Mrs. Cassidy for over an hour held her audience, while she calmly enlarged upon various phases of Home and Foreign Mission Work; Christian Education and Vital Points in Organized Missionary efforts. After the address, ministers present including Dr. Fishback pastor of New Hope; Rev. John Wesley Hayes pastor of Calvary; Rev. Douglass pastor of St. Mary; Dr. Van Leu, State Missionary and Rev. B. C. Rannavalona, Secretary of the Ministerial League made brief comments upon the address. Concluding the program a beautiful duet was rendered by Miss Leola Parks and Miss Griffin of New Hope choir; followed by a touching solo by Miss Fay Oliver of Calvary choir. The meeting was closed by the Chaplain Mrs. M. L. Copeland. The next meeting will be at New Hope Baptist Church. WANTED—A Matron for Colored Children's Home family to care ers. 1112 N.
