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.

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.

Report of Committee On Vital Statistics The Baptist City Wide Mission Circle Report of Committee On Vital Statistics The Baptist City Wide Mission Circle Nov. 12. 1922 Madam President, Members and Friends of the Baptist City WI Mission Circle, we your committee on Vital Statistics beg leave to submit the following report: Realizing that health is wealth and that a sound mind in a sound body is probably the greatest asset, which God has decreed to man; we shall endeavor from month to month to acquaint you with those facts, which will tend to decrease mortality and increase our health record. General health conditions can only be bettered thro' individual effort & individual effort can only be effective thro' personal knowledge. Why the necessity for such a committee First, because all communities need to be enlightened as to existing health conditions. Second, because for obvious reasons all births should be recorded. Birth records are often necessary in settling legal question. They are often referred to when a person's correct age is sought. They are frequently essential as means of identification. They verify parentage and place of birth. According to growing births, registers oftimes depend on the commercial growth of a city state or country, and in other ways they are found to be of the utmost importance. Third, because we need to be informed regarding those agencies, which are established to better health conditions. Fourth, because knowledge of health rules is essential to proper living. Fifth, because we should be advised about all vital matters that concern our race. In order to promote the general health and welfare of our community, we make the following recommendations: First, Considering that by no means all of our births are recoded, we urge each one to either inform this committee or the city clerk of any birth, which they have reason to believe is not reported. This applies principally to births not attended by physicians or licensed mid-wives. Second, we recommend the use of Free Clinics when the question of Echoes From King, Solomon Church.

St., of the above named city; the results were twenty-six for baptism and a total addition to the Pleasant Green Baptist Church of 203. It was indeed a great meeting. many souls were made happy. LAST CALL. Mr. and Mrs. Subscriber here in Wichita, will you please ask your neighbor or friend if their family has been listed in the Year Book compiled and printed by The Negro Star Pub. Co., 1241 Wabash Ave., which is about to go to press. Now, if you find a family, who is moving or was out of the city when survey was made you may call Market 3130 or Market 5750-W and let us know, that we may list them in this book. If anyone is missed it will be your or their fault so help us to not miss you and to take real history for Wichita. aid becomes a monetary consideration. Third, we urge you to take advantage of the Baby Camp in Riverside Park which is open during Summer months. Four of our babies received treatment there last Summer. According to Mrs. Norton we are urged to visit the Camp as well as send to it our babies. Fourth, we recommend that the advice of school doctors and nurses be strictly followed and we urge that whenever treatment is advised it be sought. Fifth, we urge you to comply with all rules of the health Department that our city may maintain a still higher percentage in health conditions. A general survey of the city shows the following health of our people Good Sanitary conditions can be improved. Housing conditions: Not adequate to meet the growing needs of this city. We need more small sanitary houses where each family can live to itself. Venereal diseases and tuberculosis are probably a little below the average for our population. About one in every ten to fifteen persons interned is colored. Communicable diseases, such as whooping cough, scarlet fever, dip theria maintain a normal ratio. A survey of birth records reveals the following from July to November there were 728 births in this city. Of that number 42 were colored. This however does not represent all births. for some are never reported. Wichita is experiencing a healthy decline in her death rate. In 1921 her death rate was 129 out of every 1000. The same report shows the infant mortality for 1921 was 73 out of every 1000. During the months from July to November 416 deaths occured, 22 of which were colored. This record shows that seven times as many colored women died as men. It gives 2 males,'14 females and 6 children. Respectfully submitted, Mrs. G. G. Brown. Chair. Mrs. Roy Balance, Mrs. W. L.

The pastor seemed aided by the Holy Ghost in the morning service. A very helpful sermon was preached by him. B. Y. P. U. Session was exceptionally good with Mrs. Lela Sima presiding. Prof. J. A. Jackson and Pres. E. L. Newton were full of smiles. Our evening service was very interesting. Our pastor, Rev. Douglas seemed at his best in the Father's cause. The S. S. Club had a very pleasant time in the basement last Thursday night and captian J. D. Wilson's Church social was a record braker. On Friday night, captian C. C. Sanders will have charge. Everybody is welcome. Calvary Bapt. Church The Lord's Day at Calvary was indeed inspirational and spiritual. Our pastor, Rev. J. W Hayes preached a wonderful sermon on what is sometimes classed as the Ninth Article of Faith from Romans 8:29 'for whom he did foreknow. He also did predestinate to be conformal to the image of His son, that he might be the first born among many brethren." Extract:—"One cannot think of rational beings without thinking of a definite purpose." Just think of a life without a purpose. You will recall the story of the Great Stones Face, how earnest, the hopeful boy in the story, who day after day, year after year behold the great stone face and hoped some day to meet a person reassembling it. The year passed by, the boy grew to manhood. Finally the time came when those who saw him in later life could plainly see the resemblance of the great stone face in earnest features. Life's purpose is a powerful force. Much could be said on the same subject. What is your purpose? What is your objective? Man's purposes are finite. Man is limited being consequently his purposes are limited. But God is eternal. His purposes are eternal. While some say think that God has recalled some of his destroying decrees from people and individuals, God gave the conditions were not met or repented for. His decrese were and have been final. God is eternal. God is free and doeth as he will. God is unchangable. Some some have wondered perhaps in certain circumstances: "Does God see thus? If so does he figure or function in the circumstance. Our pastor said that their are certain things that exist which are not God's will but He permits or suffers the circumstance of situation to exist; so those and such things come or exist under God's receptive degrees. Those who came forward to unite with the church were: Mrs. Roberta Kelly, Kansas City, Mo., Mrs. Pinky Carh. Wichita joined pending a letter, Mr. C. Carwright of Kansas City, Kan. Mr. Earnest Thirstden, Miles Farn, Bailey, Nashville, Tenn. Mr. Williars was a visitor and spoke some very timely remarks. Sunday evening, our message was taken from 2 Lincoln 2:17: "Study to show yourself approved unto God. a workman that readn't not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" Our pastor defined study as "An intense, vigorous of the mind because of which the mind becomes more comprehensive." There is a difference between having the letter and the spirit of the Word. In an explanation of studying, the Word, our pastor made an illustration of the cow that goes out together up grass continually all day perhaps, then goes and quietly chews the food which she has gathered. So, it is with us, so our pastor said, we do not have time during the discourse of a sermon. We don't have time to meditate then, but we should have some method of recalling what we have heard. "Cuttling straight" the Word "rightly dividing" the word. Not interpreting the Word to suit our situation. We enjoyed a wonderful sermon. Mr. and Mrs. Pearson united with the church. Mr. Mathis and family, who are in Colorado, were granted letters. "Christian Stormodelsh" was the theme of Rev. Pope's discourse, last.

Sunday morning and in his discourse he defined the right of ownership of earthly possessions as between God and man, and that death ends all as far as man is concerned. Men are robbing God by noaring wealth and stifling and depriving their fellow man of the necessities of life and in their delusion they forget that the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. Whatever God has prospered you with give an account unto Him by advice for Him and aid your less fortunate brother. The text of the evening sermon was from Matthew 9:9 in which Christ observed a man called Matthew and said unto him "I follow me," and he arose and followed Him. This was immediate action, and there were four special reasons: 1. Matthew, from curiosity desired to see Jesus 2. The antipatrat between publicans and Jews. 3. Matthew wanted Jesus The great miracles and sermons of Christ at that period had aroused the populace and Matthew in his official capacity as tax collector and heard of it and observed the Master as he passed by. The fact that both Jews and publicans were following and feasting with Him made the event more marvelous both to the disciples and the general community. Jesus answered them has He had not come to call the rigateous but sinners to repentance. Matthew conscientiously wanted Jesus Because he saw Divine Power in Him and Jesus knew the ability and characteristics of Matthew and could use him. And thus it was that Matthew arose and followed Him. A great lesson of determination and of discipline was brought out in this text and heartily enjoyed by all who heard it.

GO TO Some Church Sunday Brother not to learn to pray but to learn to so live that you may be a valuable asset to your race. That man who learns how best to live, a lesson that can only be learned in and thru the Christ and His Church will make his daily life a continued prayer by determined struggles for the RIGHT, and it is such individual prayers that produces winning races. MEN may vastly differ in opinions and methods of procedure but all men must and will doff their hats to the man who with the noble determination of conviction and thrilled by the spirit of racial pride made safe in the confidence of battling for RIGHT dares stand out and throw down the gauntlet before adherents of the Klu Klux Klan whether they belong in this city or elsewhere. The Klu Klux Klan has attained to a status where it will if not checked forcefully within the next decade put the acid test to the fundamental principles of American Government as conceived by the great Fathers of this mighty nation which has thru the last two hundred years stood as the cradle of Democracy. The defeat of the every purpose of the Klu Klux Klan is essential to the continued perpetuation of constitutional government in, the United States, and its successes mean that the Republic born out of the noble spirit of 1775 must go down before a force conceived amidst the simmering hatred of malicious factors halted just a step from the total destruction of the Republic by the martial battilions of 1861-65. A clear application of constitutional government readily leads to a full conviction that an unstable government cannot long exist and run counter to the spirit of a freed people thrilled with the Holy Spirit of Freedom, Liberty and Justice. Malicious intents and manifestations against Catholics, Jews and Negroes must eventually mean the grouping of the affected forces for mutual protection and with such a grouping of forces civil war is inevitable. SOMETHING less than one year ago various ministers of the city in a large mass meeting directed the attention of the people to the growing menace which now confronts not only Wichita but the entire country and called for a full awakening of the Negroes to a full appreciation of the necessary for strict law enforcement and obstruction integral's of race; creed or color and for their prayerful effort met with ridicule, jeers and laughter. Today this hidden mentee no longer a hidden menace but a fiery serpent daras show its fangs. SATAN TOOK JESUS UPON THE PENACLE Last week again Satan took Jesus servants upon the penacle, but Jesus must not have been there, because when he made the proposal with filthy lucre before the servants eyes they bowed down and worshipped him. They saw $8000, but saw not the power of Satan to triumph with his modern organization, known as the K. K. K. Satan thinks that he bought this great institution and its sympathizes cheap, he knows he once offer Jesus the whole world for the principles of rightousness and was told my influence is not for sale; your piece is behind righteousness; and you must not attempt to block this source. Their strength failed them and now Satan assert his power and added the Wesley Hospital to his territory of sinful resources. What will be the end when the Christian forces have surrendered the gained grounds to Satan, who declared his business was going to and fro seeking whom he may devour? Will America dictate her policies from the legislative hall or will it be formed at night under the flaming cross of a band of cowards, who believe in doing things "on-the-sly." Our Democracy has brought us with honors safely thus far. Every time we have paid the price for more freedom the spirit of America took higher and nobler aims. America has always taken stands boldly for right and laid on the altar what it took to have RIGHT get a HEARING and it can point with pride to the heroes who gave their all in thought, deeds and life that America might have life and have it more abundant. Now, Christians of this common wealth, do we have to hide to do right are help those who or doing right? Will the reaction come from turning aside from Jesus' way? Should we let Satan run our business? If we have trusted God thus far can't we trust Him on? The same Book that said: "Let this mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus," said: "Get thee behind me Satan." Be careful that the nation doesn't reap a harvest of misery and woe. What does America want Christ's spirit or the Klans' spirit? It is not enough in the affairs of men to call for men willing to follow with the Christ into the inner glories of Heaven. The world is demanding red blood men alive to the issues of the day and stirred by the fire of racial pride who stand ready to follow the revolutionary tenets of the Christian Religion against the very bulwarks of hell in the civic, social, and political affairs of our government. Men with a sense of appreciation of the forceful power of the Christlife; Men honest and fair-minded; Men ripe for peace or war, thrilled not by a radical spirit of vain boasting but well balanced with the conservative spirit of Romans, ready to live or die for the glory and honor of a race.

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.

C., has dwindled down. All on the sick list are slightly improved. ed. On Dec. 12, Miss Davis Reita Novel of K. C., will give a Piano-Concert in the A. M. E. Church here, under the auspices of the L. P. R. & A Club. Mrs. C. B. Harrison and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wm. Harrison of Abilene, spent several hours visiting friends here on Sunday, Nov. 19. The Interurban service from J. C., to Manhattan, which was discontinued with a short while, has been resumed with first class services, beginning at 6:30 a.m., with a car every hour until 11 o'clock at night. On last evening (Monday) Mrs. Eusie Smith, received news of the death of her very dear friend, Miss Edith Garrett of Wichita, and is leaving today, (Tuesday) for an indefinite stay in Wichita. Mrs. Smith's many friends join her in her sorrows for her dear friend and will stay to Mrs. Smith and all others of Miss Garrett's friends and relatives: look, and leave it to "God, the Author and finisher of all things" Who has said, 'Be ye also ready, for ye know not the day nor the hour when the Son of Man cometh;" and trust that she, (Miss Garrett) has gone on beyond the vale of sorrows, where they may meet her to part no more, for 'there is no night there.' All is joy, bliss, and happiness. Rev. A. M. Smith of Nicodemus, spent several days here visiting Rev. G. T. Raimey and preached two very good sermons on Sunday. His text Sunday morning was found 2nd Tim. 4:6, 7, 8; and the Sunday night text was found Luke 23:42, 43. The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. services were good, having Rev. Smith to give each a short talk and review. The Christian Church members of our city are erecting a new building, which, it is claimed, will be one of the swellest in Kansas.

"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.
