On Tuesday there steady pilgrimage of travelers, who had made their way into the thrity, and growing city of Wichita, and the registrar was kept busy throughout the day. The housing committee had made ample provision for the delegates and excellent meals were served in the insement of the church. In the afternoon a meeting was held by the Royal House in the St. Paul A. M. E. Church. A public reception was tendered the delegation in this same church on Tuesday evening at 8:30 with Dr. Miller was Master of Ceremonies. The opening anthem, "America," led by the St. Paul choir at once animated the hearts of the spectators, and a feeling of renewed interest prevailed after the first welcome address was delivered by Mr. Kemp, City Commissioner and former Mayor of the city. Mr. Kemp not only welcomed the visitors to the city, but he unawaringly touched deeply upon the principles of the order and it was quite noticeable that his appeal to the grand body to perform their duty in such a manner as to make the organization a better and a stronger one went like an arrow, straight to the hearts of the members of the order. Hon. J. II. Guy of Topeka, and Grand Attorney for the order responded. Mrs. Sarah J. Parks of Kansas City, Kans., responded to the welcome address of Mrs.: J. R. Nivens and Dr. Soanus ab'y responded to Rev. H. H. Edmonds on behalf of the U. B. F. Lodges. Prof. F. C. West, Principal of the L.Cuverture School made a timely survey of the progressiveness of the city educationally, not only does the city claim the second largest ward school in the state but the Million Dollar High School is tangible evidence of what is being done for the advancement of our 900 Negro boys and girls. The responsive address of Dr. H. W. Jamerson, National Grand Master of the order was an exhortation for race loyalty and true service in order to perpetuate the ideals fostered by our fore-fathers for the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man. The speaker made clear the fact that the race had inherited the right to the American soil and the American flag by the sacrifice of blood and service. He said: the time YMCA "FATHER" BY WALTER I. HUTCHERSON "If I don't help my boy, bud, to grow up right, I'll call myself a failure, no matter how much money I make, or how big a reputation I get." Edgar A. Cucst. There are many in our community, who are holders of valuable property, and who stand high in church, civic, political and social circles, but who will not invest in "Manhood", without which any community is unsafe. The best Insurance that a property holder can possess is a community of Intelligent, Mortl Young There are mn in our community, your property. But in a Community of vicious Immoral Young Men, neither life nor property is safe. The people of Tulsa, had money and property, but were void of manhood. There are Fathers in the community, who will furnish their sons anything but a good example. They give advice, money, automobiles, clothes and home, but they never think of the example they furnish. They have time for anything except to be a chum, a pal, a comrade for their sons, and what is sadder still, they will not support those agencies engaged in "Man Making." Property, Reputation, Money, Influence and Position are all good. But "What will it profit a father a community to gain the whole world and lose that boys?" PICNIC Cairn Hutcherson and his coworkers made Laoor Day on the "Y" ground a very pleasant place to be. Barbecue, filed chicken water melon ice cream and cold drinks were at the crowds disposal, and the consumption of it all was due to the fact that Fatty Taylor was there early and in order for the crowd to get there's, everybody got busy. The jovial crowd gave the visitors the impression that to the "Y" is a mighty fine place to go at anytime. In the evening, various games were played by the boys and girls. LABOR DAY SPORT AND AMUSEMENT LABOR DAY SPORT AND AMUSEMENT It was easy sailing for the Wichita boys to take from Oklahoma team the double header at Monrovia Park, which made them winner of the championship. The scores were 6 to 5 in the first game and 8 to 4 in the second. The boys are now bidding for the Kansas City Monarchs. had passed when the Negro would longer tolerat the foreigners as his superior. Dr. Jamison bear the distinction of being the first National Grand Master of the order and was elected to this office in 1921 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Other prominent speakers of the Grand Lodge, who made timely talks were P. M. DeLancy of Okla., and Hon. Nick Chiles editor of Tha Topcka Pk'n Jenler, who responded to Rev. B. C. Rannavalona, associate editor of Tha Negro. Mrs. H. T. Coeder broke the monotony of the speaking with a beautiful solo. Whilo Mrs. R. B. Letcher completely captivated her audience. and put the finishing touch on the already well rendered program. SERVANT OF GOD "WELL DONE" J. W. H. E. C. MORRIS DR. E. C. MORRIS HAS GONE TO SLEEP He exchanged homes last Monday thru the medium of death and was buried Tuesday, Sept. 5. He was recognized as one of the greatest religious statemen in the world. He stood strong for his God, his Race, his country and the Baptist Family thruout the world. We can safely say: that one of the most powerful minds that the race has ever produced now rests in the sweet slumber of Jesus' promise—Waiting the crown of glory for the many victories won on earth in developing humanity and safeguarding the lives of his people. His life was spent fully for God and humanity. Thus returns to God a glorious body and soul to receive the reward.—Editor. LITTLE ROCK, ARK., Sept. 7—In the death of Rev. Elias Camp Morris, D. D., of Helena, Arkansas, the race lose one of its strongest advocates, and a sane and safe leader. He was the recognized leader of the Negro Deptist of the world and was considered authority on matters pertaining to the race or denomination. Twenty eight years ago he was elected president of the National Baptist Convention, one of the largest religious organizations in the world, and was elected each year since, and thus rendering 23 consecutive years at the head of that great convention, and perhaps would have been in the convention at the time of his death, had the meeting not been postponed on account of the strike. Under his leadership the National Baptist Publishing Board was organized, and a publishing house established, located in Nashville, Tennessee. This plant was brought into life at the National Baptist Convention Ltd in St. Louis, September 1800, by the election of a Secretary—Recently it was necessary to make some changes, and Dr. A. M. Townsend, is now Secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board, and Dr. Morris assisted in securing the new location, and Ivel to see started the new plant now under construction to cost $00,000. It was his desire that this plant be erected and owned controlled and directed by the National Baptist Convention. Although he has gone the work will be pushed and completed. There have been many improvements made in the opertion of the National Bartist Convention and the several Boards, he has insisted that the Secretaries give their entire time to the work of the Boards of which they are Secretaries. By Charlcs Stewart The establishment of the National Baptist Voice was another accomplishment under his administration. The Voice is the official organ of the National Baptist Convention, and has a wide circulation throughout the country. This Home and Foreign Mission Work would perhaps shine out as the greatest missionary achievement under his administration as president of the National Baptist Convention. For the past thirty years, the convention has owned a number of mission stations in Africa and South America, carrying out the foreign mission policy of the Convention. For the past twenty years the Home Mission work in the South has been carried on jointly between the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention and the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. Dr. Morris was largely instrumental in making the joint arrangements with the white Baptists of the South. He was formost in making arrangements with the Southern Baptist Convention for means to establish a National Baptist Theological Seminary for Negro Preachers throughout the world. He did not live to see the consumed, but work has already begun on this etnerprise and will be carried to early completion. Dr. Morris was a recognized leader in his state, and held the love and confidence of the people of Arkansas. He was brave, he was honest, he waisttrue, and never failed to speak out for his people, and was uncompromising in his plea for their political, civil and manhood rights. On all occasions he condemned the "Jim Crow" law, and declared that it was a step backwards inclovillization. He believed in the future of his people. He won his place in the help hearts by the service he rendered. Dr. Moir's was born in Murray County, Georgia, May 7, 1855 he was trained in the public schools of Alabama, and Roger Williams University, but most of his training was in the practical school of experience, for he was indeed a practical man. The State University, Louisville, Ky., Dr. W. J. Simons, President, conferred on him the Degree of Doctor of Divinity, in 1892, and in 1902 he received the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, from the A. and M. College, Normal, Ala., W. H. Council, president. In the year 1870, he was ordained to the Baptist Ministry, and the same year was called to the pastorate of the Centernial Baptist Church, and was the pastor at the time of his death, having served 43 years years without a break, and may it be said that this was the only church he pastored during his entire ministry. He was elected president of the Arkansas Baptist Stats Convention 1833, and has been at the head of the Partials of Arkansas ever since, ruling it with honor, distinction and brilliance, to the hour of his death. During this time, he brought into it fe the Arkansas Baptist College—in fact he was the founder of that institution which is doing so much for the education of the youth. He served as chairman of the Board of Trustees, during all these thirty-eight years, with the exception of two or three years and was fill not that position also when his summons came At the beginning of his administration as president of the Convention there was a church membership in the state of thirty-five thousand and at the close of his life it had reached one hundred and ten thousand. This rapid growth of the denomination is due largely to his official activity, and to his determined effort by which missionaries were kept on the field in the interest of the denominational work. He was also the founder of the Arkansas Times, Arkansas Baptist, now the Baptist Vanguard. ' He was devoted to his family. It was in 1834 that he was married to Miss Fannie E. Austin, of Fackler, Alkern ' From this upron, there were born four boys and five girls. There survive him, his widow, Elias Austin; Fred Douglass; Mattie E. Marquess; Sara Hope Proffitt; and John Spurgeon. ARE YOU AWARE? E. M. BARNES That person forced to rise always feels badly. That school time is right here? So many parents haven't thought of school since it close last May. As a result of his thoughtlessness, many laddies won't be ready to enter on time; bat will be dragging in all thru the former of the semester. That doing anything on time does away with lagging? That the old term manual training is getting replaced by the term industrial education, which means more? Though it is truly manual training, it is preferable to think of this work, because of its more elevated and dignified aspect of recent years, as educational, for in this school which also is fundamentally provocational in its intent, the pupil is trained to be dignified in his chosen line work. It gives him an insight of peep into the industrial field and is a habit former unexcelled by any other branch of educational activity. So industrial education, which was truly put on record by our late Booker T. Washington, is fast taking its place as the bone and senew of all human life. Does your boy or girl get your encouragement to enter this line of educational activity. If not, please wake up; for within a very short t mo those not trained industrially will be fit for the back seat. PRICE, FIVE CENTS AFTERMATHS OF THE LEGION PICNIC A DAY OF MUCH FUN AND SOCIAL ENJOYMENT. Prof. Earnest Powell's Famous Legan Band is playing mighty nice music to the delight of everyone. Mr. Clinton Riddens proved himself a wonderful barbecue dispenser. Mr. S. L. Rogers was there with the drinks. Mr A. P. Holbrook was some utilty man. Chaplain Terrell needs no lessons in watermelon service. The wo- his auxiliary was represented by their able President, Mrs. Jessie Carter and her big generous basket. Mail Carrier Crouch was on hand and served everywhere he could. Ed. Kemp looked in and gave his services. Mr. John D. Jones, R. C. Brown and Delbert Brown were the evening shift of the soft drinks and Ice Cream. Emens Massey though crippled worked everywhere. Sam Oliver was seen in his department, the meat house. Arthur Bennet did his bit. Horace Duke was on the job as official inspector. Fred Woods and Junior Neely, Calvin Sims and Young Tucker and Rothwell, the Legiona boy friends were on the job. Thanks for such boys and Neely looked on. Several more to be mentioned but lack of service disqualifies them. Seen among the crowd were a bunch of distinguished ladies and gentlemen in a watermelon eating contest they all won except those who lost. Several couples passed the teen age were seen occupying the swing, what does that mean? Rain, hail or snow. Mr. W. E. Stanley, Mr. Chester Conner and others were present during the day. The Swimming Pool did its bit in amusing the crowd. Soon there will be a state and national Bonus granted you, the first question you will be asked, are you a legionaire? What will be your answer? Next only men who served their country in this last world's War can join this body and still you won't. Are you ashame faced outcast? If not, why act so? Day after day your country is asking who were her heroes will you step forward and answer and place your name on a Legion Roll? If you have petrified and become a store, you are exempted and when you enroll the Legion wants something else besides your name; it wants what your Uncle Sam wanted when you were in the army of the U. S., the best and all that is in you. Legionaires, what can your post expect of you this year shirking and dodging and knocking or are you going to surprise them by waking up and doing your duty to yourself to your post to your officers, to your city or community in which you live. Say, it with deeds. B. II. Neely, Adj. elect. GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN. GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN. BLACK SKIN BUT BIG HEART (By The Associated Negro Press) LONDON, ENGLAND, Sept. 8—A tablet is to be placed in the ward of a London hospital where an African hero, Chief Mandombli, allowed himself to be used for experimental treatment which resulted in locating the gum which crushes the dreaded sleeping sickness in the Cargo in 1890, Mandombli suggested to an English missionary that he be sent to England and experimented upon in order that some effective cure might be found for the disease. For four months specimens of Mandombli's blood were taken every four hours until at last the germ was identified. The strain has been too much, however, and Mandombli died as truly a martir to the cause of human progress as any of those who have sacrificed their lives that their fellows might have an increased chance for health and happiness. It is well that the memory of such men should be perpetuated and that their names should be known, for they have contributed to human advancement the dearest thing given to them and when they give up their lives they come as near the divine as ever a man does. ```markdown ``` BO - 7 8 ¢ ao © . .

The great question of labor was the theme of a stirring discourse by Rev. Ransom, Sunday morning; taking his text from Gen. 3:19, subject: "Sweat and Bread." By Adam's Transgression man was condemned to earn his bread by the sweat of his face and this edict comes on down the ages. But today man endeavors to classify, wro shall and who shall not by drawing a line of demarkation between men skilled or unskilled in every man who labors honestly for the support of his family or dependents is entitled to a fair consideration of wages. While the government is endavoring to keep the wheels of commerce going organized labor attempts to obstruct its progress and at the same time debars the skilled mechanic another race from entering its ranks. Is this justice roequity to all men. Rev. Enyard, pastor of Grant Memoirl Church, preached an eloquent sermon at the Communion service in the afternoon and a fair representation of the member of the other churches were present and participated in the service. Rev Enyard's subject was: "What shall I do with Jesus" and warmed the hearts of his hearers to the highest point. Among the visitors Sunday morning were Dr. G. G. Brown and Mr. H. W. James of New Hope Church. Mr. James reviewed the Sunday School lesson in his famil'ar way to the children of the school and Dr. Brown spoke to the Church in the interest of the Y. M. C. A.

He preached from Neh. 4:6: "So built we the wall and all the wall was joined together to the half thereof., Subject: "Building for God." Our pastor seemed to be listing spiritual realms on Sunday and in no wise failed to impart what was on his heart. He related the Christian in God's Church building up its influence by working and being used soley for the cause of God and humanity. Our pastor stated that opposition if properly interpreted is a blessing in disguise and that in praying one should never pray to God that He remove the difficulty but for grace to overcome. He stated that Paul had a thorn in the flesh and prayed that God remove it but God didn't do so. He further stated that enimies are a blessing because that so magnify our foul to that even we are able to see them. In speaking of "Building for God" our pastor stated that money, stone, motor nor large numbers as much as all of these are appreciated, are not paramount in the building but a mind to work, Love, Faith and Prayer are paramount. There was much shouting and rejoicing in Zion Sunday as our pastor spoke from his heart as always endeavors to do. Sister Graves of Ark., united with us.

Cartwright, THE World demand today is for man who have a vision of things to be that will stand the acid test of any perplexing situation which may arise in the present and make them strong to battle on inspire of odds for the high glory of their God's ultimate Kingdom which must eventually be the ruling kingdom of the earth; The political, economic and social salvation of their country and race, and the sacredness of the home Life morally, mentally and spiritually. No man has caught such a vision who can endorse any movement not fully in accord with the uplifted principles of Evangelical churches and the trend of thought which unselfish editors, teachers and ministers of the race are endeavoring to install into the minds of the thinkers of the race today. STEAL my name and you hurt me yes but I have yet my soul to lose. Steal the sweetness and glory of my home with its tender affections and you rouse the demon within that bids me battle to the death; Steal from my race by setting before it detrimental means of social pleasure and you stand a million times more detestable than ever was he that dare steal a good name or yet rob man of the precious affections of a tender mate for you steal the soul life of a struggling race. No man has any right to in the least degree be considered as a race leader who is engaged in profit-icing by prostituting the noble aspirations of the race or debasing the youths of the race under the false pretence of proviling for the pleasures of the race unless such pleasures meet the full approval of the best element of the thinkers of the race. ANY place where the lowest element of a race is eligible to attend with no challenge offered is absolutely harmful to the Negro who is engaged in the honest endeavor to establish for himself and his posterity the blessings of an unburneden clt znship. Dives, sport resorts, places of after dark social amusement all come under the ban as breeding places for those vicious elements which over night loss millions for honest property owners, cause the sacrifice of innocent lives and set back the social and industrial progress of races. THINK for by the power of thought are the forces of the Negro Race to be properly utilized for its greatest strides towards proper consideration at the hands of the other race. The Black man who will not stop to think in this period is a liability to the race. THINK, THINK, THINK on all problems before you act is the watch word of individual and racial success. THE WATER STREET Y. M. C. A. is the greatest asset the people of Wichita have today their several Christian Churches excepted. It is engaged in the great task of building up character, producing men, establishing cordial inter-racial relationship and smoothing the way for future generations of the race in Wichita to travel over with their spiritual and intellectual light shining forth to the world. Which is most profitable in the time of darkness which all metropolis communities must prepare to face YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS standing as center of training for God and Humanity or pool balls, ball parks, and other soul destroying plague spots on the community life. Think over the matter careful and support the movement which your better mind direct as best fitted to help promote the several interests of your race. POLITICS proper utilize is not and ought never be regarded as a means to a financial end or to be used to promote selfish ambitions. Politics is the science of government in which nations properly trained have gained a place in the blazing sun of world-wide activities and no race ought to allow any forces to arise within its ranks and dare pretend that they are the politicians of the race after their conduct has established the fact that instead of striving for the interests of the race as a whole the sole purpose of their political endeavors have been to promote their own selfish ends. --- NO political party has a right to ask more of the Colored race then an honest consideration of its respective merits and principles with the application of those principles in its governmental dealing with issues in which the race has been involv'd. It is no longer a question of parties in the political arena but rather one of principles with there Application, and the party which will do the most to promote he legitimate interests of the Colored People in their struggles to rise above conditions established by fa'se political traditions and the power of might untimetered by the spirit of CHRISTIAN BROTHERHOOD and POLITICAL JUSTICE. PARTY support in itself earns PARTY PATRONAGE and the protection of the voter in every right of his established citizenship. --- THAT man who cannot pick the rode without receiving the scratch of the pricking thorn; That cannot scent the sweet aroma of the early morning breeze without catching foul air of vile scandal; That man who cannot catch a fresh message from the nevens after an hour in the holy hills of some Christ an tabernacle; That man who believes all but he wrong in their every assertion, effort and attitude; That man who will bid others do but dares not strive himself; That man who can never determine his friends from his foes; That man who would enjoy life's pleasures but would not toil in bearing its cross; THAT MAN IS LOST. mile actions of Southern Mobs in the savage lynching of Negroes during the last year; The attitude of Southern Leg sitttures which encourage and endorse "JIM CROW LEGISLATION; The action of Southern Governors in making requisitions for Negroes to be returned to the South when they know that they cannot secure for them fair trials; The continued activities of the Ku Klux Klan in Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma with its influence in the political world all bid a man think twice and then vote against the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. There may be good Democratic Candidates, but as individuals they are unable to point to a single principles of their party which has been utilized by the party to promote a single movement for the best interests of the Colored Race. GO To Some Church Sunday and play your part in bringing to pass the era of Universal Christian Brotherhood and the Complete Triumphs of that happy day when God's Kingdom shall be the recognized government of Men. You have a part to play in bringing that day to pass thru your association with the Christian Church and the program which it socks to promote. --- A child in a school means a than woman twenty five years hence fitted to cope with problems far more difficult than any with which you and others in this age have ever dreamed to be possible. Prepare your child row for the greater racial struggles which must come before the final adjustment of racial conditions by giving it every benefit of the PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM under able teachers. LOOK up and see the landwork of God look down and catch sight of the deceitfulness of your fell lowmen and be hampered in your honest endeavors to score for the best interests of your race. It is not what men may say that counts it is what you know. Not what others may think but how heaven's recording angel writes in your record book. Not the honors you gain but the honors your conscience will allow you to enjoy. Not what you know but the amount of knowledge which you put to practical use for your God and Race. Not what you say but what you establish by your actions. Not what you think but what you can make the world think by the power of your brain and noble traits of character. Not what you profess but what you do for Jesus and His Church. These are the things that make you one of God's NOBLEMEN. TIIINK and VOTE for the best interests of the race after all side. In its application of principles for the interest of the Negro however the Democratic Party has not been noted for having any particular side in the argument worthy of special attention.

Marshall preached a wonderful sermon: "Remove not the ancient landmarks of your fathers." In his his discourse, we could not help but see how many landmarks, we have removed to places therein of our own. To replace them means to bring back that old time religion and services. Let us all then blend our forces and strive daily to bring "ms back to the ancient landmark" thus holding up Christ that He may draw, all men unto Him. V. H. Tyler, Rep.
