He outlined the program for Summer school in which he said that there were special arrangements for an Institute of six weeks for ministers and the cost for the same including board, lodging, tuition would be $25. It is hard for any man to give in this age six weeks for 25 Dollars, and then the feeding of his mind and soul as well as his body is worth so very much.

The address by Dr. A. M. Townsend, of Nashville, Secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board of the National Baptist Convention, was attentively listened to and the speaker was greeted with outburst of applause. He told of the new building which is to soon be erected in Nashville by the Board. He was proud of the support the board was getting from the Sunday Schools throughout the country, and it was the aim to fur- 11 nish nothing but first-class literature. There would soon be in Nashville, one of the largest publishing plants in the world operated by the race. It will be owned, operated and controlled by the National Baptist Convention with Dr. E. C. Morris, president. The Baptists had subscribed within a month Thirty Thousand Dollars with which to clear the new lot of debt. "Stewardship of Influence" was the theme by Dr. J. T. Brown, of Memphis, Tenn., and the morning session concluded with an address by Dr. W. S. Ellington, "Stewardship."

Isaac, the son of his father. The address of Dr. E. W. D. Isaac making literature for our young people," he said, "and we are careful about the kind we feed to their minds. It is very necessary that we see to it that the mind and soul are properly fed as well as the body. Unwho some food will destroy the soul as well as the body and mind. Our young people must be saved." Dr. Isaac showed a deep interest in the youth of the race, and his whole life is being devoted to their uplift. He has secured a comfortable home for the B. Y. P. U. in Nashville, and it is paid for and owned by the denomination. It was declared that there was no string tied to it. The leaders were loud in their praises of the work done by Dr. Isaac. Dr. P. James Bryant, of Atlanta, followed the opening with a discussion of "The Agencies Indispensable to Salvation." It was one of the characteristic addresses of this scholar and orator. "Model Sen'or Union" by Joseph T. Green of Memphis, was one of the addresses that will long live in the mind of those who heard it. The speaker had spent time in preparation and brought forward some valuable information. Mrs. M. J. Brockway, of Oklahoma City, followed with a survey. In was inspiring, and showed the wonderful ability of the speaker. Dr. C. L. Fisher, of Birmingham, Ala., delivered an address on "Baptists During the Obsure Period," this brought information to the young people much needed, and brought them close to their own denomination. They saw the Baptists as they had never seen them before, and were all the more stronger for having heard the address. Dr. W. F. Lovelsage, of Wynn, Ark., secretary of the Home Mission Board, of the National Baptist Convention, and a forceful speaker and orator, told about the work of the card. He was given an ovation, and won many more friends for the work it is doing. The session Friday evening was devoted to the musical and literary program. Saturday morning was indeed busy session. Prof J. S. Clarks, president of Southern University, Baton Rouge, La., Prof. Z. T. Hubert, president of Jackson College, Jackson, Miss., and Florida Memorial College, Live Oak, Fla. were introduced and made addresses. "Evidences and Fruits of Salvation" was the theme discussed by Dr. P. Janes Bryant. An able address on Model B. Y. P. U., was delivered by Mrs. R. T. Sims, of Mississippi. She is a strong representative of womanhood, and held her own. She brought to her many workers a treat by the manner in which she presented the subject. Addresses were delivered by Rev. W. S. Ellington, D. D., A. C. Capers, D. D., C. L. Fisher, D. D., and others. The afternoon was spent in the social side of the Union and Sunday School work, demonstrating that the social side of the religious life of the young people should be developed, and that the church shou'd help to do so. Much praise was given to Prof. F. S. Fower, of Fort Worth, Texas, one of the strong B. Y. P. U. workers. Dr. W. L. Craft, of Nashville, delivered some address, during the session, and he was highly praised for the Model B. Y. P. U. which he conducted Sunday afternoon. The preachers of sermons on Sunday, were President D. W. Cannon; Rev. J. L. Nabritt, and the closing sermon by Dr. J. W. Gayden, of Bezonia. Thus the 17th annual session of the National Baptist Sunady School and B. Y. P. U. passed into history, as the greatest in its history. Chas.

WITH four-minded Negro papers striving to advance the every interests of the race in the country; with an able organization of well qualified ministers perhaps excelling any similar organization of colored ministers in the state for ability, number and racial standing; With a forceful group of colored business men representing a varied field of commerce and industry; With a high type of professional men filling every niche in the realm of art, music, letters and science; and with a social group not excelled anywhere in the world. The Negroes of Wichita, have a right to be heard throughout America, when they act or speak on matters touching the interests of their race. with the growth of Wichita, the Negro group of the city will eventually stand forth as the deciding factor in affairs touching the Negro race in the West, and perhaps in a great measure of the country; BUT IT WILL NEVER BE UNLESS THE BETTER CLASSES OF NEGROES DO NOT GAIN AND HOLD ABSOLUTE CONTROL over the ever increasing class of rare free Negroes who are more easily influenced by non church approving forces than those who recognize the potent force or the CHRISTIAN CHURCH. The commercial, moral and political welfare of the race demands that the better element of the race control every situation. READ some Negro paper not because of loyalty to any particular editor or staff of writers but due to the fact that all NEGRO papers are striving to mould sentiment for your race. Remove the Negro paper, and our race in spite of its thousand if leaders will have no spokesman. The Negro Star will be clean, honest and fair and like all true organs of the race will ever be on the firing line for RIGHT. A PRAYER for those who abuse and strike against the successes of the race; A smile for the future glories of the race that are to be won by its honest leaders; A sigh as in silence the race prepares to meet every crisis with the meekness of a amb and the hidden courage of a lion; A joily laugh at those who would withhold those things the race has earned by long years of CHRISTIAN PERSEVERANCE; A DETERMINED VOW TO remain true and loyal to the fundamental principles of Americanism and the od FLAG as long as radical forces will permit. NOT radical action along conclusions arrived at in haste nor yet passionate outburst against the things that hurt the race; But A GETTING BACK to the old landmark of the FATHERS. Within the portals of the CHURCH their prayers were heard and answered and only within the portals of the CHRISTIAN CHURCH will God give the ultimate victory to the race in these Reconstruction Periods of World Unrest. GO to some Church Sunday Brother at least give your Maker a part of the day. He gave you in the fullness of your happy, healthful strength six fair days with no tears, fears, sorrows or woe. DOES HE DESERVE A FEW MINUTES OF YOUR THOUGHT and time that you are borrowing from him today? TO Play with the joy of an innocent child; To catch the music of the early birds; To wish for all men your hour of complete happiness; To walk with Nature and talk to the creeping things with a heart bearing no malice towards your fellow kind; To catch the varying changes of the early morning light and hear the whisper of the Creating force; To be leve that even with the hated move of your foe that in his heart is a spot of tender GOOD; To see no ill motives, believe no VILE REPORTS, and away to the joy of those who are resolved to battle for Right to the end. AH BUD such is the life that wins. OUR race leaders are bearing crosses for the race; WHAT ARE YOU DOING locally and Nationally for them? Let it not be said that on every street corner you are found standing and standing and knocking and knocking and knocking the leaders of the race merely because you have not sense enough to lead in the Y. M. C. A.; National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Wichita Federation of Colored Women's Clubs; Various Church Auxillaries; Business Enterprises; These organizations are forces are doing something for the race. They have selected leaders and it is up to us to follow the lead. If we do not we stand to lose all that our Fathers prayed that we might have. THE failure of the United States Senate to enact the Dyer Anti-Lynch'ing Bill is but an indication of the fact that representative government in the United States is about to tumble from the lofty place it has occupied in the niche of nations. The measure was formulated to enforce a phases of the constitution bearing directly upon the all-essential feature of CITIZENSHIP and its proper protection. If prevailing sentiments of any section of the country makes it impossible to enact such a measure it is within itself evident that particular section of the country rules the United States. The Dyer Anti-Lynch'ing Bill is being defeated by southern propaganda hostile to the every interests of the Negro; Hence, the United States is ruled by the same old South of Lee and Jefferson. These are times for sober thought and earnest preparations both spiritually and physical y. HAD the race as a whole exercised as much fore-thought in learning the lessons of supporting proper leadership as it has in supporting propositions tending to destroy the spirit of organization within the race based upon other than religious lines, yet existing under the controlling influence of the Christian Church; there would now be no necessity for a Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. THE children are the hope of the race what are you doing individually to train them in the fields of RACIAL PRIDE? Are you preparing your children to become the serfs of America or are you teaching them that they are rightful heirs to all the glories of full AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP based not upon the fact that they are Negroes; but because they are the flower of a race that must make good. ONE Negro giving one hour a month to serious thought concerning the future welfare of the race is worth a thousand Negroes seeking to grin and pray their way around the Human Problems now confronting the race, and yet neglecting to perform the duties imposed by their respective denominations in the development of CHARACTER. HAD one-tenth as many white people suffered from mob violence in the last three decades as have Negroes the Constitution would have been enforced or there wou'd be a new form of Government at Washington. Matter of fact the Constitution would have been enforced. GIVE me LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH cried Pat. Henry but that was in the early days of the Republic today as a modern statesman living in the South he would win more favorable comments by crying GIVE ME DEATH BUT NEVER GIVE THE NEGRO THE BLESSINGS' OF LIBERTY. THE Die has long since been cast, and it is no longer a question of academic theory nor yet of constitutional technicalities; but it is a vital question as to whether or not the United States is a well established, civilized, Xian government capable of assuring the ordinary right of trial by jury to the inhabitants of the land. If the Dyer Anti-Lynch ng Bill cannot be enacted the time has come for Japan, Liberia, Mexico, Abysinnia, China and other civilized countries to demand extra-territorial rights for the protection of their own colored skin subjects and citizens. NEGRO News Papers are the final sentiment builders of the RACE, and the Negro today who does not and will not read a Negro newspaper is out of harmony with the best interests of his race to which thru ignorance he is in a good position to become a traitor. OTHER races and racial goups all low their recognized leaders and newspapers to speak for the race hence the world hears what they have to say. The Negroes all try to talk for the race; Hence, the world hardly appreciates the fact that we are fast reaching a place on the blood stainer road of racial endeavor now held by the Armenians under Turkish rule Let our race leaders and newspapers do our talking while we give them our prayers and loyal support. MANY of the Lynching Bees in the Southland are the result of Negroes who still cling to the traditions of other days and cherish the memories of the dark days of American Degradation. God help the race as long as their are those in it who believe that Southern Sentiment is for the Negro as long as he stays in his place. In the South if its sentiment prevailed the Negro's place would be under the lash of a driving master.
