Wichita, Kansas, April 15, 1922. Dear Brother: In Conference with Dr. Lowther, Chairman of the Public Morals Committee, the Law Enforcement Committee from the W. C. T. Us., of the city have formulated the following plan for Anti-Cigaret Sunday, April 23: 1. Have the Anti-Cigaret Law of Kansas read in each Sunday School from the Junior Department up—and especially in the adult classes. 2. A resolution to the city and county officia's demanding the strict enforcement of the Anti-Cigaret Law, th's to be signed by the men and women, also one to be signed by the minora. 3. Following the study of the lesson have pledge signing, using the triple pledge against liquor, tobacco and profanity, in al. departments and by both men and women. 4. Because the W. C. T. U., is the on'y organization which is pushing a general law enforcement program and because such a program requires funds we ask that a free-will offering be taken Sunday, April 23, in Both Sunday School and Church for the W. C. T. T. U. 5. That each minister present this matter in connection with his services on that Sunday and ask for an of fering. Copies of the law, pledge cards, and additional information will be furnished each church for that date. Counting on your hearty co-operation in this program to increase public sentiment for law enforcement, I am, Yours in the great cause, MARY E. DOBBS, Chm. Law Enforcement Com. of the W. C. T.

D. 3192W A CALL TO DIGNIFY YOUR CONGRESS TRIP. DEAR CO-WORKERS of the S. S. and B. Y. P. U.-- We know that you want your work to rank in unison with the Baptists throughout America and the World, and your experience teaches you that you must keep in touch with the National Work; so we are expecting a delegate from each department to be present in New Orleans, La., June 14-18, 1922. It makes a sameness of the young Baptist family as to methods, doctrine, polity, etc., so that anywhere you go you will be at home.

I have now the reduced rates which is one and one-half fare--plus one dollar, but you must send your name to Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, 409 Gay St., Nashville, Tenn., so he can send you an identification card and to me so I can arrange for a special car, tourist or sleeper or extra car. First, It will keep us from being jim crowed. Second, if We take a tourist car for the 10 days, we can use it for sleeping quarters while in the city and make that expense dignify our trip. If it was possible to get a berth it would cost you at least $10 each way or $20, then your sleep while there extra, but if you will elect your delegates at once and get as many friends as possible to go and send their names, we can for $10, sleep you going and coming and while there for $10 plus the reduced R. R. fare which is one and one-half plus $1.00. Ask your agent the fare, then figure out your expenses. Elect your delegates and get the names of those desiring to go at once, and send H. T. Sims, Sec. of the Congress, $10 to be placed on deposit for the special accommodation of the Kansas delegation; to be returned if we can't get the proper number. About $57.00 will make the trip in first class style as far as R. R. accommodations and sleeping. You can make your eating bill to suit ycnrself $3.00 will represent your S. S. or Union. Please take this matter up in your first meeting. Let us know what you have done. Send names to 409 Gay St., Nashville, Tenn. 409 Gay St., Nashville, Tenn. 1241 Wabash Ave. Wichita, Kans. P. S.

ARE YOU AWARE? E That the handsome gentleman who was guest of residents of Ohio Avenue last week was not the husband of Mrs. Fountaine as many thot? However, we think Mrs. Carr can tell us who he is. That Wichita chanced to get by unmolested Easter Day? The storm which was possibly due here to muddle up the day and the loud clothes, missed it's train; therefore was detained a few hours. That Prof. F. C. West after sometime figuring on the economical and pleasurable side of things, has finally evidenced his decision, that autos are cheaper than shoo so'es, in the purchase of a five passenger Studebaker? That Water Street Y. M., under co-operative direction of all the choir leaders of our churches is planning the biggest Community concert known to Wichita, Monday Evening, April 24th at High School Auditorium? That a certain young matron of the Calvary Church and Mission Circle has been highly complimented for carrying her Bible at all times? But it was finally discovered that this bible proved to be a vanity case. She states that she'll discontinue further deception and get a real one. KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.

PRESIDING ELDER OF THE KANSAS CITY DISTRICT OF THE A. M. E. CHURCH PASSES AWAY LAST SATURDAY. It was with a sense of profound regret and yet due reverence to an Ali-Wise God, that the announcement of the death of Rev. A. C. Terrill was made by Iev. Kansom at an official meeting of the St. Paul A. M. E. Ch, Monjay evening. After a brief illness, hoping to regain his usual strength and vitality for service as Presiding Lder of the K. C. District, he was called to rest from his labors and accept the reward of the faithful. He had been a minister of the Gospel for nearly 50 years and in active service in Kansas about 30 years, receiving four years of that time as pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church in Wichita, where he and his estimable wife were well known and beloved by both young and old. After a half century this scholarly leader of the race in Kansas, is taken while active in his field of labor, and none regret it more than the citizens of Atchison, where he had property interests. Resolutions of condolence were voted upon and a floral offering arranged for by the officials and members of St. Paul Church Monday night. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock at Atchison, and was well attended by a host of friends as well as members thruout this district. Rev. Ransom was present, bearing a message of love and sympathy to the bereaved widow, who was such an able co-worker with him through all of his misterial career. The committee on condolence from Wichita were: Mr. Thos. Glover, Mr. John T. Chinneth, Mr. Frank Wilkins, Mr. S. W. Jones, Mrs. T. L. Hackley. CONVENTION REPORT. CONVENTION REPORT.

MAKE IT IN TIME. --- (By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. Apr. 21—"When you plan your vacation this year, either make Chicago, your objective, during the Pageant of Progress the first two weeks of August, or make your ticket read by way of the big city—we are going to bring the people there from everywhere." Thus spoke former Alderman Oscar DePriest, who was in the city several days, following the strenuous primary campaign in Illinois. Accompanying the big man "From out the West" was Alderman Louis B. Anderson, flock leader of the City Council for Mayor William Hale Thompson—a fact that should be an inspiration for every American boy. Alderman Anderson was also enthusiastic about the Chicago plans for the Pageant of Progress. "The people like to visit Chicago, and we are giving them something to visit the city for, but of course every day is a big day in Chicago." Said a Washingtonian: "There is something about Chicago people that spe's "Pep." The date of the great Pageant of Progress is July 29 to August 14. The event proper is on the Municipal Pier, but the entire city celebrates. IMPORTANT CONGRESS NOTICE!! All persons interested in the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U.

Leavenworth Kansas On Easter morn, the atmosphere of the Independent Baptist Church was filled with praises, mingled with the sweet music of the birds, and scented with fragrance of many flowers. At 9:30 an excellent program was rendered by the Bible School which was enjoyed by the parents and many friends. Easter tokens were then distributed by the Supt. and teachers and the children departed with radiant and happy faces. Our beloved and worthy pastor, Rev. C. B. Burton, chose for his text Matt. 2.6; using the subject: "He is risen." A sermon which was indeed food for the soul was delivered, and every Christian knew that he really had risen when He arose in their souls. A number of persons gathered at the B. Y. P. U. hour. Many thoughts were cleaned from the lesson as it was being discussed. At 8:00 p. m., the following program was rendered by the choir in a very large audience: Anthem: Keep Silence ..... Choir Invocation ..... Rev. C. B. Burton Our Risen Lord ..... Choir Scripture Reading ..Mrs. L. V. Halm Quartette ..Mrs. A. Chavers, Mrs. L. Pointer, Mrs. L.

Hunt attended the Ministers' Conference which was held at New Hope Baptist Church of Chanute, Kansas. Arminta Hayden, Reporter. Junction City News. EASTER DAY, "Christ has Risen" from all reports, was surely celebrated by the churches of our city. This day brings a beautiful day, served to draw the people out which helped to make a large attendance at all churches. There were Easter programs rendered at various churches; Children's programs in the afternoon and adults in the evening, both of which were attended by unusual crowds. We sincerely hope that it was not from mere curiosity that the attendance was so large, but that they considered the seriousness of the occasion for which these programs were rendered. Let us who profess to be Christians, live according to the prayers we pray, and thereby, help our God to answer these prayers, so that by another Easter, at least, part of these attending crowds, will have seen the reality in these Easter programs and join with us to help push on to victory.

Sunday School, Mission program to'd of our Christ'an blessings in this land and the cries of the hesthens in foreign lands. We saw our duty and many did their duty. With a heart filled with Thanksgiving for the risen Lord, we entered the auditorium of the church and listened to a powerful sermon by our pastor, on the power of his resurrection, tru'y this was a sermon filled with food for the soul and mind—strengthened by the powers of the Ho'y Spirit was felt by every believer in the resurrection, and many amens and shouts demonstrated the realization to their souls. The Unions were equally filled with information of God's Blessings to men. At night we witness another powerful argument for the edification of us all. Thus passed a great Easter at Calvary. The pastor is now beginning his series of sermons on "The Ten Commandments." You should hear these sermons; they will help you. Will you come?

Doug ass the pastor preached on the subject: "He is risen." Matt. 28.6. At the close, two came forward for membership; one for baptism. The B. Y. P. U., in its short session was very interesting. The program under the management of Mrs. Nesbitt was quite interesting, being the best that has taken place for some time. Easter was the best we have had for a long period. I may menton the black-board outlined and explained by Mrs. Freeman to the Sunday School, was another very interesting topic. Our baptizing will take place at the 13th St. Bridge next Sunday at 3:30 p. m. We mourn with Mrs. Black who lost her sunt by death on Sunday night while we were in service. May I inform you of Sister Alberta Tolbert's being i.l at her home on N. Santa Fe; also that Mrs. Wilson is still confined to her bed, at her home N. Indiana Avenue? We hope for their hasty recovery.

Edmond, Pastor. Sunday being Easter proved to us a great day in the Sunday School and services, with instruction received and interest manifested by each as well as the increased attendance. Easter morning the impression was made good for the day. We hope you did not miss the Easter Lesson; subject; "The Power of the Ressurrection." A wonderful lesson. Just think of our Saviour, "He breaks the power of cancelled sin, He sets this prisoner free, His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood avails for me." The pastor Rev. H. H. Edmonl, preached an eloquent sermon to the congregation; reading Isaiah 14; St. Mark 16:8; Theme: "Four thousand miraculously fed." How Christ took the lad's loaf of bread and fed the great multitude; and how He taught His disciples to have compassion on them. At 3 o'clock the program for the young people was rendered. This program was indeed a wonderful success and all present enjoyed a great Easter treat. Supt. called for collection of 10c from each pupil, presenting egg to each in response and the teachers giving lovely offerings to their class made the day a day of giving thanks to a risen Christ a success and pleasing evening. 6:30 the Epworth League enjoyed another beautiful lesson, subject: "Making Christ our Guest." All present enjoyed it. 8 o'clock the great musical cantata rendered by the choir proved to be one of the sweetest and most impressive that one could hope to enjoy. The decorations showed to the public that Christ himself was all to us and had risen on that day; all parts were appropriate for the occasion. Easter was a great day for St. Matthew. The pastor asked each auxiliary to bring in Five Dollars each—They responded promptly to the call. The Easter egg hunt proved to be a great success. April 12th. The President Mr. Delbert Brown and members of the N. C. Cleaves Literary Society are still extending thanks to the pastor, Rev.

Washington, at which tribute was paid to his greatness by the highest forces of both races, ought to be a source of encouragement to all men who are striving to lead the race towards higher grounds. Brothers, your works will be best understood and appreciated after you have crossed the bar. Be you but lowly ministers, working under the bloodstained banner of Christ, or God-fearing educators working for your race, in spite of cruel public opinion and race jealousy, struggle on and in the end go down like Booker T. Washington, as God's Nobleman, and the fragrance of your life-work will be inhaled by future generations while they read your name carved in columns of marble, and shed tears because your age was cursed with forces that could not and would not match the halowed merit of your efforts. Fight on, you win if you can stay to the end. Booker T. Washington, had an idea an stuck with it to the end in spite of all opposition. ORGANIZATION is one of the key-notes of racial success and to a low personal aggrandizement to hinder the progressive movement of any colored organization of a social, fraternal or religious nature, is the wrong step for leaders of a coming people. THE leaders who battle most for the race, the always the least understood and often the most abused men of the age. There are honorable black men in America who think more of racial success, than they do of personal gains. There are men of the race who are above petty methods of gaining personal advancement, with the race as a lever. There are race leaders who stand for all that is fair, square and noble in the progress of the race, and not until the Negro race learns the great lesson of respect and honor for its leaders, will it reach a place in the sun with master races of SOCIETY AND P D PERSONAL SOCIETY AND PERSONAL The following were called to the city on account of the death of their father, Mr. Henry Turner:Mr. L.

KNIGHTS OF TEMPLAR SERMON LAST Sunday morning in accord with an EASTER custom, the members of Palestine Commandry No. 12, assembled at their asylum and marched in a body under command of Eminent Commander, Ora Taylor, with Past Eminent Commander John G. Chinneth of the Grand Commandery of Kansas in line, to New Hope Baptist Church where the Easter Sermon was delivered to the Commandry by the Reverend E. T. Fishback, D. D. On entering the church which was beautifully decorated for the occasion, the Commandry was greeted by a burst of Easter Anthems, sweling out from the choir of New Hope Baptist Church in thrilling peas of praise to a resurrected Lord. After the rendition of several, exceptional selections; the Scriptural lesson was read by Dr. Fishback from the regular lesson of the day. Afterwhich selecting as a subject: "The Love of Joash for God's House," Rev. Fishback delivered one of the most forceful sermon of the day to attentive Templars and a large number of Easter worshippers. Reading a number of articles from various periodicals and papers treating various topics that are vital in the social and religious spheres of the race and world in eloquent tones of zealous concern for the general betterment of the community. Rev. Fishback waxed warm as he presented Christian appeal for the Templars to throw themselves into the battle for world-wide righteousness and preservation of the sublime principles of the Christian Church and high traditions of the gorious order of Templars like crusaders of ancient days; and follow the landmarks established by battling Knights of medieval days when chivalric knighthood was in full bloom of service for God and Humanity. Presenting the four essential elements of Christian Knighthood; a sympathetic heart, pure life, brave spirit and magnanimous soul as the mighty powers of individual life which must be asserted fully to promote the best interest of the church and community. Rev. Fishback held up to his hearers, a gorious picture of Jesus Christ the PIGGLY WIGGLY You have a Shoe Shop that you can get any kind of a shoe repaired, cut down or made over.

He told of the determined purpose of all Templars in accord with the lofty tenets of Templarism to move thru life actuated by the great spirit of Christ. At the conclusion of the oration by the Past Commander, to the thrilling strains of "Onward Christian Soldiers" the Commandery with erect heads, moving with the sublime confident of those who go forth to conquer under the sign of the Holy Cross, marched from the church, followed by the congregation which had been moved to a more full appreciation of a Christ resurrected, by the powerful message of the day.
