(By The Associated Negro Press) | WASHINGTON, D, C, Aug25— Bishop W. Sampson Brooks was ir the city last week consulting with of. ficials in the Department of Agricul. ture concerning the kind of cattle to take back to Africa with him, The bishop had thought of purchas. ing a New Jerscy herd of Holstein, one of the best breeda in the wor:d, but he was advised that cattle from the southern part of tho United States or from South America would proba- bly be able to stand the African cll. mate better than those rtised in northern United States. Eventually, however, a herd of fine cattle will ac- company the bishop on his return to ‘West Africa next year. Bishop Brooks is well-known all over the country cnd fs now engaged in @ $50,000 campaign raising funds for the educational work of his church in West Africa. His school, now near- ly completed, is the largest stone building in that part of tke continent. The bishop is also interested in hav. ing the United States keep its pro- mize to Liberia in granting the $5,- 000,000 toan. Besides the mrtter of schools and of improvements in the Customs Service, the bishop is an- xlous to have the government proceed with ita policy of constructing roads from the seaboard to the interlor with the least possible delay. | At present the rivers which are navigeble for only a short distance, say twenty-five or thirty miles from the ocean, are the only means by which produce may be brought to tide water. Produce which is grown back of the seaboard district either goes over French or English border or the grower is compel'ed to let it He on the ground and rot because of inade- quite transportat'on facilit'es, In rither event it is lost to the Liberian Customs as the Interland Customs Service is not at all effective, | ‘The trails which at present are just wide cnough for substitute for roads, 1 Then, too, it is quite impossible to ransport the products of a country he size of Ohio on the heads of na. ‘ives, It is therefore of the utmost importence that wagon roads over which wagons, trucks and other autos nay pass should be built. | pa Ex- Wichita Boy Goes To Law College , Mr. Ambrose Wonard and familv, of Arkanras Citv, were th? guests of his mother, Mra, Eila Woodard, his brother Ernest and Mr and Mrs, Morris Steem- er last week.

CHICAGO, ILL., Aug. 25—Twenty- one women presented themselves at the city health department yesterday with the request that they be examin- ed to ascertain whether they are auf- fering from either gonorrhea or ry- philis, The exeminat‘ons were made. Health authorities deslared that the appearance of the women proves conclusively that Health Commisssion- er Bundesends proposal for elimina. tlon of venereal diseases heve been accepted by women of the underworld. It wan declared the women would not have come unlese they were told to report for inspection by those in control of houses in which they live, Although, in examining the women it was ascertained-they were almoat all from disorderly houses, Health Commissioner Bundesen took the view thet his department is not examining inmates of houses of il! fame as such, but is “doing its duty by examining, citizens of Chicago who believe they may be infected with a communica- ble disease.” A number of colored women were examined, bound by blood in that particule: jeroups, and you can discover an ac- tive or silent resentment on the part of members of that particular group or race, this is true in varying de- grees in all races except the Negro race. Then, the fina ity worthy of eonsideration in this matter fs that the paramount laws of the Negro's nature are not responsive, like unto seared consclences, which when thev have been so tampered and fooled with, do not rightly respond and warn the unfortunate possessor. The Negro should not be censured but pittied, becaused his two er three Tundred years of adverse training has given him an unnatural and different k'nd of feeling for his kind, and has been caused to drift in the cur- n-ne of another raee, to hate his race, do all he can to keep it down and ad ire the other and do all he can to keep it up. What I have said in the above, I think, gives iogical and orderly rise to a question, and the answer for same, that has been asked by all real thinking Negroes, those whe have got ten out of that old channel of advers- ity and really love the race. Why the Negro won't stick together, why he doesn’t patronize each other, and doesn’t confide in each other, etc. If you knew anything about the serip- ture especially that portion which re- lates to training individua’s, you would not wonder so much, too, when you realize that the Negro has been trained to distrust each other ta hace and do every other thing adverscly to each other. Do you wonder, if so, don’t do it any more that just about 99 9-10 percent of the commodities we buy, work we have done, including the houses we have bullt; if you please, the white man must get tho glory and then money, You proba- bly wili say that the Negro can't do the work because of his inexperience, | Fifty eases out of a hundred this isn't true and the other fifty it fs true be-j rause you don’t give him anything to jo.

Total amount raised $1634.86. In the 3 years and 6 months that Rev. Cartwright has pastored the church, under his leadership we have raised $21000.00. The church is and should be proud to have such an able Divine as its chief executive. In this past effort the church was able to cancel the final indebtedness on the pews, and other bills of long standing. As an appreciation in part for the very excellent services rendered, the church in Conference assembled voted the pastor $200.00 on his National Convention trip. During these years of service Ebenezer has become quite a social center for young people especially so long religious lines, and they have so developed until they really enjoy the work of the church. At a recent meeting a Benevolent Association was organized for the purpose of helping to care for the disabled and sick members of the church and to bury the deceased, who are not otherwise provided for. Twenty-five years ago a simu'ar organization was in evidence under the pastorate of the late Rev. Wm Smotters, known by the name of the King's Sons and Daughters. The pastor is a tither and liberally supports the various Auxilaries. Every appeal for any worth charitable cause is loyally contributed to by him and the church, visiting ministers, pastors, and Christian workers are dealt with courteous and in a Christian manner. We have high hopes of the future welfare of the church under his leadership. If he will continue to stand by the church in turn will stand by him; and each will receive a rich reward. Churches and pastors are beginning to see the value of a long pastorate, and are realizing more and more that constant changing does not bring with it the best results. The following pastors from Leavenworth delivered able sermons and their choirs rendered excellent music at the hours designated. Rev. W. H. Hill, at 11 o'clock pastor of First Baptist Church, former pastor of Ebenezer, Rev. C. B. Burton, pastor of Independent Baptist at 8 o'clock a large and reverent number accompanied them. The Rev.

TRY RED STAR FLOUR St. Paul Notes. "Seizing an Opportunity" was the theme of Rev. Kisom's discourse banlay morning. Taking his text from I. Sem. 17:40, He gave a vivid picture of the faith of David in God and the utter Contempt of Godath and the Philistines against the Israelites. Modernizing this subject down to the youth of today, with the opportunities presenting themselves in the lives of every young man and woman to exercise faith and then dars to face the hosts of evil; the temptations and allurements of a gay life, and resist them all thru a firm faith in God is what they should do in the morning of their lives, while vigorous and possessing all their faculties to do service for God and humanity. A beautiful picture of the flowers of south last Sunday morning in the Sunday School was the large Juvenile class, conducted by Mrs. Woods and the enthusiasm shown in the subjects and object lessons given them. The Church and Sunday School picnic at Riverside today. The Sunrise prayer meeting at St Paul A. M. E. church are very inspiring and impressive. Last Sunday the service was led by Bres. W. C. Niely and Dances To get the right start for the week be sure to attend. New Hope Baptist. Did the Sunday School lesson interest and thrill you as we studied about the "Second Return of the Exiles?" What a grand thing to learn and teach what is in the "Grand Old Book." The Sunday Morning Scripture Lesson, tcxt and sermon subject used by our minister, Dr. E. T. Fishback, following the order named:—Matt. 5:1-16; Mal. 3:8-12, 'The Kings Revenue'. A great sermon was pretched. Have you seen bright eyes grow brighter in the Social add Study Hours of the B. Y. P. U.? Ours is a fine fellowship as we study, work and play with these young people both periods seemed too short last Sunday evening. At eight p. m., the choirs sang: "Holy, Holy Lord God of Sabbath" opened the glorious worship. Our pastor read for a Scripture Lesson Phl. 4:1-9, using for a text Matt. 11:28-30, and as a subject: "Soul Rest," preached a wonderfully interesting spiritual sermon. "Aunt Catherine Brown" is with friends and relatives in Parsons, Kansas. She is enjoying her usual health. The friends of Mrs. Sarah Fishback will be sorry to hear that her grandmother, Mrs. Martha Gorrard of Frankfort, Kyl, died August sixth and was buried August eight. She was a worthy woman and lived to a ripe old age. We sympathize with her reatives to whom she is near and dear. Mrs. E. L. Lee of Gulfport, Mrs., was called to the bedside of her sister Mrs. Lott'e Yarbough, July first. After having a pleasant time, she departed for her home August tenth.

The intellectual Kelley Müller, dean of Howard University, Washington, D. C., lectured to a good audience at our church' Wednesday evening Aug. sixteenth. The lecture was excellent well delivered and well received. Calvary Baptist Church Sunday morning services began with song service, afterwhich Psalms 119 was read as responsive reading. Our pastor spoke to us from 2d Timothy 3:16: "Inspiration of the Scriptures" being used as a subject. Our pastor began Sunday to preach a series of sermons on or pertaining to the Scriptures. Our pastor defined the Scriptures as divine and human—Divine, because they express and contain the will of God—Human, because God used human agencies to express His will. Our pastor made a strong appeal that we study our Bibles: Sunday night, after song service and announcements. We had the report of our church messengers to the Southwest District Association:—Mrs. Cortrude Farmer being the first to report stated that it was appearant and evident that our church was not doing all that would or might do in supporting Mission and Education and that the Convention had set plan for buying our missionary in Western Kansas, Rev. M. S. Jones, who is de- fice a very credible and effective wor- in those parts, a care to facilitate hi travel. Deacon Case, our next messenger to the Association to report urged preparedness for Christian education as our our great objective as Baptists and exhorted us to do our duty toward the work at the Theo'ogical Seminary at Topeka. Rev. B. C. Rannava ona, our assistant pastor, a third messenger to the District Association, gave general report of the Convention and the events of affairs as conducted there. Sunday night, Rev. M. S. Jones, our Missionary in Western Kansas, preached to us a delightful sermon, subject: "Jesus, the Master of Coeliption" and he portrayed Him as such. One striking statement, Rev. Jones made any thing commercially, industrially was that no human mind could adopt or politically to correct conditions to satisfaction—no agency save God. Mrs. Anderson re-united with the church. One Hundred Wanted. Rev. J. W. Hayes, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, is walking above Wichita, with lantern looking for One Hundred Friends for Calvary who will labor in the heat of the day, and not comp'ain; who will help share regularly the financial burdens of Calvary; who will be found to speak in good word for Calvary; who will earnestly pray for Calvary and be found in her Prayer Meetings each Thursday evening; who will look after the sick and help improve the order of all our services—be on time give attention on reason and think with the Pastor—Endorse right everywhere and do a whole Christian duty by Calvary. Will you be one; if so give your name to the Pastor. This will be the Pastor's Loyal One Hundred. Th's one hundred will support their respective leaders, who ever they are as long as they are right. One hundred, who will close their ears to the whispering and complainings of those who do nothing only find fault. One hundred, who will see nothing else but the good that is in their Bro. or Sister. One hundred, who will see nothing but victory for Calvary. Church Of God. CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST.

Cartwright, THE Colored man has for years established the fact that it is extremely hard for the race to turn from a course of procedure which they have belived to be due the Republican Party, and yet he is steadily awakening to a full sense of the fact to a full sense of the fact that party loyalty in turn de mands party consideration after the heat of battle has been dispelled by the cool breezes of office comfort. JUST a gossiping tongue a little morsel of vile scandal with its undue agitation pro and con; Result-tearful eyes, aching hearts, saddened homes, social confusion in a community and broken friendships. Is it worth while? Thinking people in this question find much food for thought which is answered by the engravened inscription which ought in all truth be placed on many a tombstone: "KILLED BY THE DAMNING BOWER OF A LIE!" GO to some church Sunday Brother situations are steadily developing which are demanding clam, deliberate consideration and upon which you are best qualified to act if you are in close fellowship with the CHRIST and CHRIST forces which can be found only in the sacred courts of some CHRISTIAN CHURCH. The purpose of your life is to accomplish the most you can for your God, Country and Race. Are you betraying any of these principals by your failure to line up with the program of the churches of your community which is the only program fitted to solve the mighty problems of your day. Go To Church Sunday, and play your part for God and Humanity. AFTER the storm the calm of Life's activities, With the closing of a primary teeming with vital potentialities all forces of the Republican Party are now settling down to a determined effort to a county ticket this Fall which it is to be hoped has arrived at a full apprecia- tion of the fact that the Colored Voters of the community have grown heartily dissatisfied with a continued series of promises without fruition; pre-election smiles from candidates with nothing accomplished after election to show that the successful forces had a proper conception of the successes of the race born out of the power of ability and character high must and will have proper racial recognition in party patronage. The Negro has thrust the years been a valuable asset to the Republican Party, and party candidates are going to be placed in positions after the Fall Election to show the race that they have an appreciative estimate of the value of such an asset. A failure to establish such a fact will mean a betrayal of the race which will be proper weighed by Colored Voters. The same powers that help to save a situation by the power of thought can be utilized to work in the interest of the race along other channels. On last Friday afternoon Mrs. H. T. Sims was made to remember that she was still a little girl and could look forward to receive birth lay presents. She received a number of, useful gifts that serve as a reminder of the Natal Day.

S. E. Winston of Chanute, Kansas, the National Expert B. Y. P. U. organizer and Gospel singer has been touring the state in the interest of B. Y. P. U. work, and conducting Institutes in the various churches. Madam Winston is very capable, she is not only an efficient instructor, but she demonstrates the work in your presence; it is so simplified until one does not need to be a scholar to clairn it. The Model B. Y. P. U. consists of 45 officers and 36, committemen. Th's does not include the Junior B. Y. P. U. which is a separate department. When these persons are working in their Sections, namely: True and Tried, Ever Loyal, Willing and Ready and Old Reliable it is indeed a beautiful scene of Co-mingling workmen, old and young training for Christian service, each one pursuing a definite line of work. Madam Winston has spent years in perfecting this plan and as an outgrowth of constant application, she has well in hand just what every progressive Baptist Church needs for her people both old and young. With such a woman on the field Kansas should take the lead in doing "Big Things" for her young people. As we see it this is just the beginning of great things to come. These Institutes are educational as well as inspirational. Avail yourself of this opportunity by having her conduct an Institute for you. Systematic training counts in every avenue of life. "Bite off more than you can chew, and chew it! Plan more work than you can do and do it; Hitch your wagon to a star. Sit right there and work your plan and there you are." Mrs. Wm Smothers.

She is indeed in a class to herself in this line of work. There were at least 45 workers in training for the different phases of the B. Y. P. U., and it was inspiring to see the beautiful demonstrations and decoubts together with the team work of the workers. Another beautiful feature of this Institute work is that, Mrs. Winston will make the meeting finance itself; if the workers will half way work her plans. Our goal was set at $200 00 and we were able to realize 185 91 in the effort; We gave our National Worker all together $75 00. We know that she deserved more for her work cannot be estimated in Dollars and Cents. The beautiful tokens of appreciation presented her by the sections were certainly appreciated by her, for she expressed herself as being perfectly satisfied. Mrs. Winston goes from here to Atchison, Kas., to work with the Ebernezer B. Y. P. J. I am sure if the B. Y. P. U. folks co-operate they will reap great benefits and go over the top. The Old Reiah's Section won the first prize here by raising $51.44. The Ever Loyal next $50.01. The True and Tried third $40.02. The Willing and Ready fourth $77.44. The Juun'or Union $58.83. This was one of the greatest institutes of its kind was full of joy and inspiration from start to finish. Our B. Y. P. U. now is in fine shape for work and we hope to do big things in the future. N.
