With impressive ceremony, services were conducted Wednesday afternoon at, Calvary Baptist Church over the remains of Mrs. Lenis Stewart Flemings wife of the Reverend John A.' Flemings, pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church of Watts, Calif., who died at a hospital in Pasadena, Cali., recently. At 2:30 o'clock the large auditorium of Calvary Church was well filled with a representative group of citizens of the community from all walks of life who had gathered to pay, the last rites of respect to a woman who was born and reared in Wichita form girlhood thru all phases of a minister's wife had retained her grip upon the hearts of many and gained a high place in the social, civic and religious life of California. The funeral processional was played by Mrs. Ora Carter as the casket under the escort of the Reverends John Wesley Hayes and J. E. Douglas followed by the several mourners moved slowly up to the altar of the church where the remains lie in state during the service. Follow- ing a hymn by Calvary Choir to which was added the voice of Marie Fines, director of St. Paul Choir under the direction of Mrs. G. Gertrude Walton; Rev. B. C. Rannavalona as master of ceremony presented Rev. J. H. Van Leu, state missionary of the Kansas Baptist State Convention, who led the opening prayer. Rev. E. T. Fishback, pastor of New Hope Baptist Church read the various resolutions from 'Sunday Schools; Women's Mission Circles; The G. L. A Caub of Wienlta; and letters of condolence from the Rev. J. R. Ransom of Topeka and others from various sections of the country. The Rev. W. C. Cartwright, secretary of the Kansas State Baptist Convention read a resolution from the Wichita Colored Ministerial League and Mrs. G. Gertrude Walton one from the Mission Circle and Calvary Pam's Church of which Mrs. Matilda Clark, mother of the deceased sister is an active member. Following the reading of resolutions and a selection by the choir, the Rev. J. E. Douglas, pastor of St. Marv Bantist Church read the Scripture lesson from Philippians 1:21-30. Miss Nettie Fay Oliver next rendered a touching vocal selection after which the Rev. Fishback read the obituary followed by the funeral discourse which was delivered by the Rev. John Wesley Hayes, pastor of Calvary Bantist Church. Selecting as a text Philippians 1:21: "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Rev. Hayes delivered a brief but impressive discourse in which he highly commanded the loyal, faithful Christian efforts of the deceased in her work as a minister's wife for her God and humanity by which her life had been a force in all circles which it touched both in Kansas and California. Following the discourse Rev. Fishback paid a touching tribute to the dead It was a privilege enjoyed by a fair audience at Calvary Baptist Church Sunday afternoon at 3.30 to enjoy a real religious awakening and enjoy the timely message by Rev. R. L. Pope, the new pastor of St. Paul A. M. E Church, from Denver, Colo. It was indeed timely and our brethren proved they enjoyed it by backing it up with Dollars. We think that the Y. M. C. A, spirit will soon assert itself here in the hearts of the parents. The young men have the spirit and are doing some very constructive work, under the efficient leadership of the different Clubs. Let us double the number at St. Paul next Sunday to hear Capt. Hutcherson tell of the great Convention in Atlantic City, N. J. It will be worth nearing. iREAT REVIVAL AT.NEW HOPE. iREAT REVIVAL AT.NEW HOPE. Rev. W. C. Cartwright, B. D., Is Preaching Wonder Sermons.

Governor In Tilt Over Pardoning Negroes. (Preston News Service) JACKSON, MISS., Nov. 22—It is said that the war of the Rebellion was caused on account of the Negro, and now a governor, and his lieutenant governor are at war over two Negroes. "Governor Russell is as dead as Hector in Mississippi", declared Lieutenant Governor Homer Castile, who went to Memphis last Tuesday to carry on the fight precipitated last Saturday when Governor Russell raced from Memphis to the Mississippi line to block the pardoning of two Negroes by Lieutenant Governor Castile. Castile said that he went to Memphis to gather information to prove that Governor Russell was in Memphis when the pardoning was done. He expressed complete confidence that his position would be upheld when the test comes. He was bitter in his denunciation of Governor Russell and said that the governor interfered solely for the purpose of getting into the limelight. He explained that he signed the pardon for the two Negroes at 9:40 o'clock Saturday morning and that he had the advice of Counsel that the pardons became effective immediately, their force not depending on the fixing of the seal of the secretary of state. It is said that court proceedings will be instituted in the next few days, probably at Greenville, to test the right of Lieutenant Governor Castle to grant the pardon. Parade Of Masked Men Strike Terror In Hearts Of Men. BRECKENRIDGE, TEX. Nov. 22--Scores of Mexicans and Negroes have left this town during the past 24 hours according to reports being sent out by local authorities. It is said that Negroes are by far in majority of those leaving. The sudden exodus followed a march of a crowd of masked men, estimated at over 500, through the Negro and Mexican districts last Tuesday night and alleged threats that Mexicans and Negroes must leave Breckenridge at once or have their homes burned. Other threats of violence are alleged to have been sent to Negroes and Mexicans. It is thought that members of the Ku Klux Klan are responsible for this movement to drive Mexicans and Negroes out as most of the work being done here is by Negro and Mexican labor. Many Jobs held by Negroes and Mexicans were vacant on Wednesday, including that of a Negro school teacher, who is alleged to have left town also. Mayor Fulwiler is reported to have issued a statement to the effect that everything possible will be done to protect residents of this city, regardless of race or creed. The chamber of commerce pledged co-operation with the city authorities in affording protection. Extra police have been placed on duty and it is said that no further trouble is expected. million Negroes throughout the United States to work for the abolition of lynching and the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, A1 general education of the public as to the curse and shame of lynching is the hard part of the task set out to accomplish. However much is being done in this direction. Leading educators and editors are being influenced to use their talents and means to mould public sentiment against the crime of lynching. A million women united in an effort to suppress lynching is the slogan actuating these women in their strenuous effort to arouse the country this form of barbarity. | é) St. Mary Baptist Notes. J. E.

Educated Africans Gave Cordial Welcome (By The Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 24—Africa should be referred to as the "Continent of Great Misunderstandings" rather than the "Dark Continent," and its vast potential strength in raw materials and in the development of its natives people should be stressed instead of emphasizing the jungle savagery; such is the theme of a report made by an international commission after an intensive study of African hygienic, economic, social, religious conditions. The report has been published by the Phelps-Stokes Fund. The commission, composed of experts in educational and missionary fields, spent ten months in Africa during the fall of 1920 and the following winter, traveling more than 25000 miles through West, South, and equatorial Africa. Scores of schools and mission stations supported by Church es of America and Europe were visited, Colonial officials and European traders were consulted and Native chiefs interviewed. The personnel of the commission included Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, chairman, writer of the official report, director of education of the Phelpe-Stokes Fund and author of "Negro Schools in the United States;" James Emman Kwegyir Aggrey, a member of the Pantil tribe of the Gold Coast, who is a professor in Lingstone College, North Carolina; Dr. Henry Stanley Hollenbeck of Wisconsin, who for twelve years has been a medical missionary of the American Board in Angola; Mr. and Mrs. Arthur W. Wilkie of Scotland, Missionaries of the United Free Church of Scotland, appointed by the Conference of Missionary Societies of Great Britain and Ireland to represent the British Societies, and the Rev. John T. Tucker of the Canadian Congregational Board in Angola, Leo A. Roy of New York, an expert in industrial education, served as secretary. Besides the backing of the various missionary societies, the commission was accorded the hearty co-operation of Government officials. Educated Africans showed members of the Commission every courtesy and gave them a cordial welcome. The report says: "Of the many mis conceptions that still tend to limit the investment of capital in African industry and agriculture, to hamper the efforts of Colonial governments and to discourage the support of missions, there are four of such importance as to require consideration in any effort to evaluate the educational opportunities. They are: Misunderstandings as of wealth of resources and natural scenery; the healthfulness of the continent and promising possibilities of sanitary improvement; the improvability of the African peoples; and European and American influence." Dr. Jones points out in the report that the immense and varied physical resources of Africa are practically unknown to the civilized world largely because the researches so far have been made for private and governmental use and the results have not been published, and that there is sufficient evidence of potential need to convince the most skeptical that Africa is the undeveloped treasure house of the world. The diamond fields of Kimberley, the gold ridge of Johannesburg, the coal mines of Rhodesia, the Katanga copper plateaus of Belgian Congo and the oil areas of Angola are cited as specific instances of the country's richness in natural resources. The report continues: "Africa's reputation for unhealthfulness was the result of the tragic experience of those who entered the continent without knowledge of the conditions of indifferent to the hardships always A Call To Your Own.

Setting forth that the most unfortunate and unfair of all misunderstandings is that the African people do not give promise of development sufficient to warrant efforts in their behalf, the report says: PEERLESS BUTTER "The improvability of the African people is clearly shown by their response to the efforts of missions, governments and commercial organizations. There are physicians, lawyers, and ministers who have completed the requirements of European universities. While the number is small it is sufficient to prove the capacity of the people. The clerical tasks of government, industry, and commerce are largely entrusted to young African men. Mechanical operations on railroads and in construction are more and more being taken over by African workmen. Every mission gives emphatic testimony to the value of the Native teachers and ministers.

The importance of a comprehensive educational system is emphasized and Dr. Jones recommends that equal opportunities be provided for the teaching of both boys and girls.

"Through their devotion to the people, their efforts in behalf of education and their emphasis on morals and morale they have made the most fundamental contribution of all, says the report.

"TENTION!! HALT!!!" Forward Marchl Christian Soldiers. Let's get up early next Sunday morning, in vicinities where Sunday S., is held on Sunday morning, and get the children up early also that we can make a better showing to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, that we are really His soldiers. Dear Christian Readers:—When we enlisted in this army, we pledged ourselves and service to our Commander. It requires more than merely getting to church on Sunday night just as the pastor is opening his text or sometime when he has about finished his sermon, for us to live up to the pledge we took at the time of our enlistment. Wake up Christian friends, let's climb down out of the attic, shake off the cob-webs, snap out of our shabby way of serving our Lommander of this army and see what a wonderful change will take place for God's Cause. Christians who do not attend Sunday School on Sunday mornings, know not what rich and wholesome food is to be had in these Sunday School lessons. Take last Sunday's lesson Nov. 19, Jesus The Friend of Sinners; found Luke 7:37-48. Read this lesson carefully and study it thoughtfully and see what blessed lessons are taught to the Christians. One main thought and lesson is that we Christians are not to snub or mistreat sinners in any manner that might have impression on them that we think ourselves beyond their friendship, but rather, we must conduct ourselves in a manner that will show to them that a Christian's ways and actions are far better than their ways and actions. We know that in order to gain the friendship and respect of even animals, we must first ourselves, be kind and loving, and friendly with them; so let's use our sinful fellowbelings with more courtesy than we would mere animals. Christian readers, there's no telling what great lesson is to be gotten from next Sunday's lesson; so let's shoulder arms (our Bibles) a n d march to Sunday School. St. Matthews C. M. E.
