Board Meeting which convened Feb. 7, 8, 9, at Osage City, Wimbley Chapel has just closed one of the most successful meetings in the history of the Convention. Under the leadership of Rev. G. T. Raimey of Junction City, and his efficient staff of officers, with God's help and our own best endevors, He cannot help but push forward to success and victory. Every morning, afternoon and night we were blessed with able, forceful, spiritual sermons and all feel enthused and determined to do more to set up Christ's Kingdom at home and abroad. We were favored with two special visiting ministers in the persons of Rev, J. R. Roman of Atchison, and Rev, C. O. Marshall of Kansas City, Mo. They both gave us a burning message out of the fullness of their hearts, which went directly to our hearts. Rev, C. M. Watson and Rev, Geo. Pratt, both of Emporia, were new ministers in the district and this was their first visit to the Board. Each had a place on program and Each hid a place on program and did credit to the Convention. The Women's Work under the direc-tion of Sister M. D. Jones as president with her Christian corps of officers showed themselves true missionary workers indeed. The women in their meeting alone, from circles, personal effort monies and collections raised Ninety-ons ($91.00) Dollars. Hence, we're learning the true spirit of missions. we are learning 'blessed is the cheerful giver' and the more we give the more we have to give. The President had on display in this meeting the beautiful. Negro Doe which brought $200.00 in the costeet at Junction City. It is a handsome doe, any one would be proud to possess such a treasure. It also teaches us to love and admire our own race. She expects soon to put on another contest. The B. Y. P. U., Children's Band and Ministers and Deacons' Union all had splendid sessions and the spirit of peace and unity and brotherl evervailed throuout the entire meeting, and one could only say; surely these are the people of God. The good people of Usage City, with Rev. B. W. Lowe and his Christian wife, threw their doors alar and gave us a cordial, hearty welcome in words and in actions. They highly entertained us, and cared for us and fed us and spared ro pains nor left no stone unturned to make the meeting what it ought to be financially, spiritually and socially. We raised at this meeting $305 74 Three Hundred Five Dollars, Seventy-four Cents from all sources. The last evening, Thursday, we were favored with a sermon by our State Missionary, Dr. J. H. Van Leu of Wichita. We all know him as an original orator, he stands in a class by himself. He chose as his subject: "Consecration" and preached a wonderful sermon which stirred our hearts and God's power seemed manifest everywhere. We closed out Thursday night and we all went home wonderfully blessed and determined to do more for fallen humanity this year than we'd ast year. We all pray God's blessings on the revival which Rev. B. W. Lowe expects to begin at once. Mrs. A. L. Davison, reporter. Junction City News. --- Mother Chinn has been very ill at her home on West 14th St., but has improved and is able to be on.

"Is anything Too Hard For God?" On WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Feb. 26, 1922. CHRISTIAN WOMANHOOD Read before the Women's Missionary Baptist City-Wide Union at New Hope, Feb. 12, 1922 by MRS. L. C. McCULLOUGH. The world has longsince realized the true worth of virtuous and useful womanhood. All have seen and felt her influence in the social as well as the political world. She is the leading factor in all Charitable and welfare work. Today she has great chritable and escape homes standing as living monuments to her untiring efforts, to care for the homeless children and delinquent girls. But have we stopped to think, that after these babes are housed they must be taught to love God and humanity. Must be earned early, the necessity of living beautiful, clean and useful lives. Before these wayward girls are given another chance in the social world she needs to be shown the great saving power of our Lord. She also needs a kind hand to help her shun he many temptations and pit-falls of life. These wonderful and never tiring women are always willing and ready to help wherever time, talent and money are needed. She spends days lobbing to pass her pet bill; gives willingly and bounteously to school, colleges and homes for the homeless and needy. In our recent war she wrote her name on the pages of history with her Red Cross Work, Nursing and many sacrifices that the boys might have a few comforts while on the fields or in the camps. Remove from her these interests and she finds life empty. The light of her love is extinguished. They must live only in the past. To the woman, who gives her life to God and throws se'f entirely out, puts her her own will to one side, cede demanding that life conforms to her desires and become willing to be 'led by the spirit that she might become an instrument. for the spirits use. Td her is given the highest honour to be attained by woman----Christ an womanhood. Proverb 31:29 says of her "Many daughters have done virtuously but thou excel'est them all." In Mert. 6:33 we are to'd: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things are added unto you. Thus we see the first step is to clear the windows of our own hearts and let the sunshine of God's love flow in until it fills our own hearts and lives and flows out to others. To become a Christian means more than the acceptance of salvation at the hand of mercy. To be a real Christian, there must be that loya' and loving surrender of our whole being for time and eternity, into the hands of a gracious God, not only salvation but for service. We are saved to serve. May the women of each of the Churches represented here be sure they have laid this sure foundation, which to build a strong Christian womanhood. Without God we can do nothing. As we look around us today, we can see what a power thrives in God could be in the world. She is the shaping and moulding of the lives of our preacher, president, awful masters, and home builders. Many have realized the need of good pure womanhood, that we might have better homes and are giving time and talent to this work. Out of this class have emerged our Mrs. S. W. Layton. Miss Nannie Burroughs and others, who are leading the women of our great Baptist family. Also a number of welfare workers and leaders of Y. W. C. A. and other Christian women's organiza- account of being crowded for time, the pastor preached a short sermon, but it was a wonderful sermon, bringing out so many wonderful things that God has wrought, showing that there is nothing impossible for our God to do. Song, inviting sinners, "Where He Leads Me." Doxology. Dismissed by Rev. Clark of Ft. Riley. H. E. Marshall, Church reporter. I am sure that the good women of Wichita, in whose minds this organization was born have seen the great need of the helpful hand, cheerful words as well as the beautiful lives of Christian Womanhood. Have organized this society to bring us together, that we might see and study onions and be better prepared to all our mission. That we might realize the need of living higher and ucer' lives, thereby helping others. That we may see the great need of studying God's word, that we may better fill the avenues that are opened for us. Paul says: "Study to how thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be shamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Let us through the study of God's word and prayer so clear the channel of our lives that the spiritual force can flow in and become the driving power of our lives. If we must take our place in the political world; let us take God with us. Prehps life has a special work for Christian womanhood there. It may be we can help make our city, state and nation better place in which to live and help others see that all men are born, ree and equal. Today we see women, who are rearing families going after and taking art in all the social evils such as ard playing, smoking cigarettes, playing dice and attending and learning in popular dances neglecting homes and families. We wonder what have become of pure; sweet womanhood and the old fashion mother. Our girls and boys are falling victims of all the immoral snakes—the dance hall, joy, riding and the drink habit. We ask the question "What have become of home training and discipline?" On reading our daily papers and magazines, we are surprised to find parents asking the law to usurp their places in the training of their children. The public clamoring for the legislature of laws to regulate luxury, that is what we shall eat and drink and particularly women's wearing apperal. Friends, let us remember laws cannot make us good. Rather our laws should reflect our spiritual growth. May the Christian womanhood of Wichita, rise in one great phalanx to the importance of her position both in church and city. Let us rey more upon living an ideal Christian life than upon merely preaching. What the world needs today is object lessons. Let us seek to interest our girls and boys in good clean atheletic sports. Bring about and cultivate a social side to our church life. Seek to find something to replace new wholesome amusements. Bring them into our homes more where we can get better acquainted with them and they may learn more about our home life. Let the mothers strive to make home more cheerful, comfortable and pleasant for their children. Have them entertain their friends there. By so doing you may be able to direct them into a safe and harmless channel of amusements. Then tarry in prayer that God may bless your efforts. "For their is no other name under heaven that is given among men, wherein we must be saved Acts. 4:12. Then will Christian womanhood fill her place in christianizing the world. Each person, who comes within our sphere of influence, will be blessed by that spiritual radiation which we send forth. Wilder said: "He that saveth his time from prayer shall lose it; he that loseth his time in communion with God shall find it in blessing." Atchison Kansas Notes. Ebernezer Baptist Church.

ARE YOU AWARE? ```markdown ``` That, a gas bill in Wich ta seems to be larger when you try to stave, than it does when you turn'er on freely. That a few of our people are beginning to think? and they arrive at the thought, that it would not be well or Providence to reverse the process of dominating race lest we who're standing in covetous proximity might be affected by the b'ow. So let us all think that there's room enough up for all races, and one can really succeed at the expense of the other; Since we are here in this world together, let us strive to bring about a better relationship, which inevitably must come if our notion would be properly recognized by the Great King. Mo., and Miss Nettle McNear of Fort cott. Kansas Rev. Jelts sang both at the morning and evening services and for the two and Tried Group in the B. Y. P. J. Rev.

U., conducted by Jr. John Dysant, president; True and Tried Section gave the program, Sunday. It was agreed that this was the best program ever rendered in he B. Y. P. U. The evening sermon was preached by Rev. James S. Anderson the National Baptist Evangelist, Kansas City, Mo., known as "The Baptist Whole." Rev. Anderson took as his text Matt. 16:18; "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter and upon this rock I build my church; and the gates of hell shall not presail against it." Subject, "The Christian Church and What It is." This was another Doctrinal Sermon and was a master-piece and full of inspiration. Rev. Cartwright, the pastor presented the preacher of the evening and in his presentation said some very complimentary things of him and the audience agreed that Rev. Anderson had not been misrepresented. Thursday evening Feb. 16, 1922; Rev. W. C. Cartwright organized the Young Ladies and Gentlemen of the church into a social club. The C'b will be known as the "Ebernezer Buat at Social C'b." The pastor will entertain the Club at his home Friday Feb. 17th. The young people are looking forward with much pleasure to this event. Bro. Athelo Holmes is president.

Majors will PRICE, FIVE CENTS Editor of The Negro Star:— Please allow me to say thro' your paper that your home state is still on the unvaried move: We are still having State S. S., and B. Y. P. U., was held in Jackson. In Oct., and the Convention was inspiring and aspiring. Our organized movement is nobly promoting a twofold mission disseminating Bible teaching and Teachers' Training; and at the same time raising funds for Natchez College Library' to promote religious education. I am g'ad to say Mr. Editor that our state is aroused as never. before' because we now lead the United States in Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Work and in recognition of this distinction as all Baptists know that we have been awarded the National Banner for two consecutive years by the National S. S., and B. Y. P. U. Congress of the U. S. A. We are endeavoring to hold this banner and as long as we have such leaders as Drs. E. B. Topp, J. V. Gayden, D. W. Higgins, Profs. P. M. Smith, M. C. Averhart, Mesdames P. T. Sims, Hattle Hyche, Dr. T. futchins and last but not least, our own Dr. Cosey (who sailed for Monovia, Liberia on Jan. 7th.) we are certainly going to retain this distinction. We are to hold an Extra Session of State S. S., and B. Y. P U., at Crystal Springs, in March at Dr. Minor's church. Mr. Editor, we read with pleasure if your success in Kansas and as we read we sav, "Mississippi" is being felt in more than one place in the U. S." I am sure Baptist in this State vishes for your success. We are praying to meet you in our S. S., and B. Y. P. U. Congress in New Orleans, n June. Our little town is honored with the presence of Dr. E. M. Lawrence of Nashville', Tenn., who is speaking at the Belle Flower Baptist Church. I ferr Mr. Editor, I woud do my town an injustice if I didn't tell you something about our school work; it as been repeatedly published that Mississippi is second to the last State when it comes to education. (that's it is second to the foot.) This aroused the people of Mississippi and they are trying to make this untrue. We have now in nearly every county in Mississippi four or five Rosenwald, Slater, (or Jerns' Fund) schools. Here in our own town an aninex has been attached to main building of our City School and we have a building that will give credit to any town in Mississippi. Prof. W. W. Blockburn of Port Gibson, is Principal, and if I must say, Mr. Editor, I have met quite a number of educators from Lampton and Chicago Universities as well as Howard University, Washington, D. C. I haven't met any that were superior to Prof. Blackburn. He has an excellent faculty and they are proving to their race that they are master-minded leaders. Hoping to meet you at the Congress n June. I will close this. Yours for the Race, Sadie F. Waltha'll, Cor. See. of State B Y. P. U. 227 Clay St. Grenada, Miss. I have Friday morning for Eldorado, Kansas to attend a few days. Mrs. I.

A. D. HICKERSON, Parson, Kans. 2320 Morgan Ate Parson, Kans. 2230 Morgan Ave. This was one of the many messages brought to us through the spiritual efforts of Rev. A. W. Ross, who has just closed a successful revival at the New Hope Bapt st Church in Parsons, Kansas. Rev. Ross is such a fluent inspiring and enthusiastic speaker, that he impressed the thought of a Living Christ so vivid that many chose the right way of living. The sermon—A message from He'll; so aroused the community, until he was blessed with a crowded house. Another sermon that created much thought and interest was—A Pool's Dream. Rev. Ross did much good in showing the danger in dancing and card playing in fact all the evils that so easily overtake our young Christians. He cheerfully, proudly and earnestly organized a young club, giving them something to do for Christ. Also he united the men of the church into a Brotherhood, instructing them how to live in union, sett'e their petty differences and how to effect great things of note to be brought to the church. Last but not least to show their appreciation to Rev. Ross, to show their thankfulness for the laborious task he accomplished, to show the beauty of Christianity in their lives, they all feasted at the welcome table, which impressed them with joy, yet sadness; because—why—of the departure of the Rev.
