May Include Wilberforce In Foot-Ball Triangle Next Year. NEW YORK, Dec. 22-According to Fred Wells, representing the Wilberforce Alumni Association in this city, the Alumni of Howard and of Lincoln Universities are trying to arrange a triangle of Athletics for the three schools and that the suggestion comes first from Howard University. William G. Nunn, City Editor of the Pittsburgh Courier, has contended for a number of years that such an arrangement could be made one of the biggest events among our people. He thinks that proper publicity in this respect in view, of the large number of alumni from the three largest race institutions would help to make these contests the largest social as well as athletic events of the season. Not only should football be the feature, but basket-ball, and other athletic sports. These leading institutions have the material union which to draw to put into the field teams of first-class caliber. Negro sport editors in the various sections of the country have often wondered why Wilberforet University, being the oldest Negro school in the country, had not only established herself nationally in athletics well as in scholastic attainments. The athletic endtavors for the past two years has brought this school into public notice and she now has a chance to be seen by the public generally in a new light. On Tuesday afternoon, the G. L. A. Club held their meeting at the home of Mrs. J. E. Lewis. Christmas Quotations were given. Toussaint L'Ouverture, a paper by Mrs. E. Reed.

Dr. Herring arose amid applauses; Text; "God has made of one blood all nations to dwell upon the face of the earth." 1st, a nation or race cannot live to itself.—A false idea. 2nd, That war and force cannot settle anything. Primitive day each man went out or ruled the world to suit himself. Then the Jones family against the Smith family; one dav Smith came, over cleaned up Jones, then Jones went over and formed an alliance to protect each other on a large measure. The best of every denomination must get together, and crush the evil of the world. America must stand together and we are both Americans. Our race has produced great leadership, beautiful songs and poetry. The greatest force in the city is the church, and should be better understood.

Response by Rev. J. W. Haven who endorsed his address, who held on the idea of Christ. Rev. E. T Fishback referred to the church as the greatest force, next the school, then this intelligent citizenship. Prof. Fulbright of Oklahoma, was introduced. He spoke very pointively. Rev. B. C.

That folks rise to their boiling point more quickly when their personal rights are at stake than when a principal is involved? Shouldn't we all look first for the principal involved, and then leap into the air with piercing cry? That a certain petagouguess while vigorously demonstrating the folk-dancing the other day kicked off her heel? The "kids" say she is some "kicker." That a certain individual while commenting on The Star said that it was really interesting last week?

"The Prayers of Christ" (continued) The pastor, Rev. Cartwright began this sermon by saying, "We should remember in all our prayers, God's Glory. We should so live that we may at death, say, with Jesus, 'I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.'" This sermon showed 1st, that it was the Christian's duty to pray for others. This is shown in John 17. where Christ prayed to His Father to glorify Him, to preserve His apostles and all other believers. 2nd, The duty of intercessory prayer, Luke 22:32—"But I have prayed for thees that thy faith fail not; and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brother." Brothers and sisters, great is the danger of pride, self-confidence and unwatchfulness; or of rashly entering into temptation and then of Jesus interceding to preserve His people's faith when it is sorely shaken. And if we experience his influences, we should improve them, for the warning and strengthening of our fellow Christians. Sunday, Dec. 17th, Bible School opened at 9:30 a.m., conducted by Prof. W. E.

Falls of this city have rented out their home and gone to K. C. to make that their hom for a while. Mrs. Ida Kirtley, who was ill at her home for a short period with Pneumonia, passed away after having been moved to the hospital on Monday, Dec. 18th. To have visited the W. H. and F. M. Bazaar at 2nd Baptist Church would have been to any one just like entering a dry-goods store in a downtown district. Things they had for sale, were too nice and too numerous not to mention them. To accumulate all that was for sale, undoubted ly showed untiring laborious efforts on the part of a committee, to put forth God's cause. The Cavalry of Ft. Riley, most of which have recently been brought there from the Phillipine Islands, were given an entertainment by the Oasis Shriner Club of this city Friday night, Dec. 15th, at the Community House. This was done in order that the Cavalry men might get acquainted with the citizens here. The number on the sick list has been increased by the illness of Mrs. Dade on West 13th Street who is reported confined to her home. The usual services were held at 2nd Baptist Church on Sunday, Dec. 10th, Rev. Raimey, pastor delivering both morning and evening sermons. Although Rev. Raimey is ailing with a severe cold which he contracted while in western Kansas on business some time ago, he delivered one of his best sermons on Sunday night. His text was taken from Heb. 12:1, subject, "Christian Race." This was indeed a stirring sermon; the pastor bringing out what a ridiculous shame it is for us to try to run the 'Christian's Race' and run with the world at the same time. I wish to say that I have for two years heard the pastor deliver just such messages as this sermon, trying to arouse the conscience of Christians to their wrongdoing; and I think he delivered these same kind of messages for several years before, I heard them, and yet there are some of us who sit and listen to these messages for 10, 20 and 30 years and our conscience is never toucher or aroused. Dear Christian readers, it is indeed a pitiful plight of affairs, it is indeed time for us to hide our faces in shame; it is indeed time for those with real religion in their hearts to go down in prayer, and pray incessantly, when that stage is reached when it is just as hard to get a Christian to do right as it is to get a sinner to do right. That time is now at hand and what a shameful pity. Dr. Watts says in one of his songs, "Did Christ o'er sinners weep?" but undoubtedly He weeps over the actions of some of us professing Christians. Who is it Christian friends, let t be mother, father, sister or brother who would not weep from a sad and broken heart, if one of our families committed a hideous crime contrary to our wishes? Then why don't we, if we belong to His family, have mercy on Jesus Christ, and not crush His heart by committing hideous crimes or gogoing contrary to His wishes? We trespass against Him, we go contrary to His will, disregarding or having no mercy on Christ and then get down and pray and ask Him to have mercy on us. It is not fare to our Lord and Saviour. Now, as the time is fairly approaching (Xmas) when we shall celebrate the birthday of our Lord and Saviour, let us, more intelligently think for what this babe was born, for what He lived, and for what He suffered, bled and died on the cross. Let us more intelligently think that after we have taken Him on in baptism, that we are supposed to be, just as nearly as possible, like Him. And let us more intelligently, think how we abuse and crush our Savior's heart, when we treavass against Him. heart when we have celebrated His birth (Xmas) let us, more intelligently resolve for the next year and more intelligently stick to our resolutions. ST. JOHN BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES. Pastor Williams returned from the National Baptist Convention, fired with new zeal and enthusiasm, and preached a spiritual and inspiring sermon, Sunday morning, taking for his text, "A walk With Christ Thro' Samaria" St. John 4th chapter and 6th verse. He told of Christ's interest in the wicked, how humble He was in seeking the lost and lowly. "No leader nor great man has so humbled himself as Christ did for us. It is the duty of every Christian to have the interest of his fallen brothers at heart. Christ's conversation with the woman at the well and the wonderful change that was wrought in her by just conversing with Him." The Holy Spirit was very prevalent in the services. Good attendance. The evening services were spent in listening to a very splendid report by the pastor from the National Convention. After heartily thanking the church for their gift of $100.00 (One Hundred Dollars) for his expenses to the Convention, the Annual Address of the Late Dr. E. C. Morris, was then read, which was indeed a master-piece. The pastor then made a few remarks, touching on the race question; he stated that the salvation of our race depended on these three rules:—First, "Recognition for God," Second, "More Respect for One Another," Third, "Earnest effort on Our Part to Do Right."

THE CHRISTIAN WOMEN of glory of working for God in accord the race is its savation, and with a higher progressive, program the race are its salvation, and without their efforts in behalf of a spirited activity of all Christian forces to the end that higher education for the Negro China with the full opportunity to a fair deal in the increasing social trends, the race will be lost. The womanhood of the race as expressed through its various channels somewhat remote, perhaps, to the ordinary, ecclesiastical program of this age, is yet an indirect factor for illumination of ignorance, lack of community interest, and civic righteousness, defects in the ranks of the race, which must be eradicated before the full flower of the race can blossom out and astonish the world by its fragrance. The great challenge of the ages, to such forces is to work in harmony with the CHRISTIAN CHURCH, conscious of the fact that without the force of their intelligent appreciation of things needful and modernized spirit of progressive ambition to accomplish things worth-while for the race, and community in which they live, much will be lost for the entire race of men. On the other hand the challenge of the ages and of the masses to the Christian Church is that it enters into a larger community program and provide sufficient fields of labor in civic, social and religious roles for those who within their hearts long to work and sacrifice for humanity. The day of the small vision church which regards sinful man only from a direct spiritual point of view is passing rapidly, and the demand is for the church that will minister to the mental, physical and spiritual man providing work for those who understand the essentialities of the inner spirit of the Christ Mission and by right of intellectuality. Determination to battle for God and man, and Christian Character are fitted to enter the work blessed with the inspiration of a vision of the GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY, IT IS CHRISTMAS DAY. Think of the glory of the Day a Savior born unto you. A blessing awaits you just within the portal of some Tabernacle such as that where your sainted mother in years long since passed carried you on Christmas Eve to hear the Old, Old Story of Santa Claus. Go to Church Sunday and catch the inspiration of the Christ Birth, the Old story of world love, self-sacrifice, and God's gift of love direct to you. The present awaits you, will you accept. 10 IT IS BETTER TO WAIT before opinions are expressed; It is better to lose in silence, rather than arrest success by vain words; It is better to act the role of student rather than instructor until called upon to play the part you are fitted to perform as instructor; It is better to be led by the power of prayer and council with God rather than be influenced by men unacquainted with the perplexing problems awaiting your solution; It is better to stoop, a victim today rather than go down with your designs unaccomplished tomorrow; It is better to praise the other fellow rather than denounce without thought covering all phases of a situation; It is better to work for humanity without reward than work for humanity with the hope that it will remember and give tangible reward; It is better to go down defeated rather than accept the terms of an enemy that you are determined has won unfairly in the struggle; It is better to die rather than compromise unconvinced of the moots of your contention; It is better to accept the half loaf in honor rather than the whole loaf with a consciousness of individual dishonor in the transaction; It is better to smile in defeat and laugh at rumor, rather than rejoice over an enemy in your victory or fight a lie! It is better to pluck the flowers of service to man along your way rather than await the banquet of those you can not serve. ARE YOU AWARE? (Continued from first page.) day. The fellow whose money "comes easy" goes just as easy. Some say, that kind of wealth is too hot they can't hold it. It burns the pocket. We find tho' that it is all due to the lack of brain and wealth compatibility, or "vacant rooms in the upper story." To save or be thrifty is a very difficult labit to acquire. Yet it is the best habit along that line to have. The Hi-Y. Club studied last week in their Bible study period, the subject of Thrift vs Being a Good Sport. President Jas. Taylor in giving a version said, that to be thrifty means that one should make all he can, save all he can, and spend (or give) all he can in the proper direction. Several of the boys gave just as good versions as this, but in phrasiology, this appeared somewhat unique. These boys really think. It will pay some of the men of our city to visit this club every Thursday evening and hear this club transact the business. at the Hi-Y Quintette is scheduled to sing at 9:30 Sunday morning at the First Methodist Men's Bible Class, and at 10:00 at the First Presbyterian Church, and Monday Xmas morning at the Central Christian Church during a sun-rise prayer-meeting, where I am told that all the young folks unions of the city are invited to attend? A very special and urgent invitation is textended to the young folks of our organizations to take part in this solemn festivity. May I urge all who possibly can make it, to be there and on time? This is another of our chances to show ourselves friendly; we know how we can reach the hearts of our brother. Why not do it? As the Yuletide Iraws neat let us think more seriously on the interests of the other fellow. --- THE TIME has never been nor never will come when the affairs of men can be promoted without the touching influences of the CHRISTIAN CHURCH. Races may may rise and fall, Governments, reign and perish, Men triumph and fail, yet the CHURCH will and necessarily must retain its full sway over the spiritual affairs of men. It is the height of folly for any other supposition to receive attention in spite of the efforts of higher critics, doubting racial forces, or jealous sackers after the betterment of conditions affecting the human race. It is not the fault of the Truths to be fond in the Christian Church that it does not sweep out into the affairs of the world's Governments, and over night change the current of passing events. Alas! it is due to the fact that within the church are controlling influences, ambitious and detrimental, laboring contrary to the fundamental principles of the GOSPEL that have not caught the spiritual vision of the present age nor arrived at an appreciation of the purpose of Jesus Christ, and his lofty appreciation of the purpose of Jesus Christ and His lofty mission. No indictment against the Christian Church can stand when filed against the CHURCH direct for its lack of cooperative actions in dealing with many phases of community life. The Church always has been and will continue to be the store-house of God's Eternal Truths prepared for the use of the Human Race. Indictments against the several distinct forces which adhered themselves to the church but by lack of appreciation of the purpose of the church, fall to launch forth fully into the civic, social and political affairs of a community, may all be made. Money expended WISELY in the erecting of churches is not so much a racial evil as it is a safe indication of the rise of a God-Fearing Progressive Race. Groups in the churches are falling to properly institute among men the essentials of racial grandeur along the lines commonly accepted as being marks of TRUE PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANITY, and this truth of the several religions of the world irrespective of race or color. THE SATE STORING AWAY of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill by the UNITED STATES SENATE but another indication of the fact that radical forces have made pro- grams in the country. While the particular merits of the measures just willed by "THE SPIRIT OF THE OLD SOUTH," and its Republican allier may have admitted of question relative to its enforcement, and what not. It certainly was worthy of a trial. Mob Murder, Law Violation, under Mob Influences, and other evils which follow in the immediate wake of heated passions expressed by collective forces have all been properly licensed to a further period of depreciation against American Citizenship by the very fact that the bill failed of passage. America, the country of countries, daring to stand forth as the mighty champion of WORLD-WIDE DEMOCRACY. Teeming with Christian Influences, and supported by the world's wealth, has now proclaimed from the housetop that its law makers have not the moral courage to enact a law against the evil most threatening as a menace to the future security and peace of the REPUBLIC. The Dyer Anti-Lynchung Bill may rest eternally in the Senate Committee Chamber but if some remedy is not found within the next few decades to check the ever increasing spirit of the MOB, America must reap the whirl-wind of a reign of anarchic terror and law violation inspired by the death of lynching measure. Awake spirits of Vardaman, Tallman and Davis, in the United States Senate your living Allies still, "Carry on." --- ALL PRAYER WITHOUT FAITH is vain, and certainly must it be so with prayers or a sudden need of desire. God is not hurried in the establishment of his purpose in the hearts of men. It is within reason to believe that the first slaves allowed to hear the story of God's redeeming love, and His majestic sway over the hearts of men, started a faithful prayer heavenward for LIBERTY AND FREEDOM, and so down until the final liberation, the sainted prayers of slave mothers and fathers, laboring in the heated fields of undue oppression were lifted as a united whole for the salvation of God to be made manifest by the dawn of a brighter day. Had the Christian forces recognized the damning force of lynching in the United States at its inception, and started to pray that some remedy be afforded to check its institutional growth, we now would have been sainted in the Christian forces of the United States, white and black defined by the power of prayer lynching most Christian, lynching will be the greatest prayer that can be offered by the Christian Church in this direction is a PRAYER OF ACTION. God's answer will be to the prayers or those who by the influence of individual Christian efforts exert every power to check this spirit of the South now grown to full manhood, under the fertilizing influence of racial prejudice. Let all Christians of the United States white and black, unite in prayer to God for a remedy, and then rise determined to assert the full might of American citizenship through the ballot to assist in providing a remedy and it will be found. Will they do it? The question is do the white Christian forces desire a remedy? A remedy was found for the White Slavery Evil, The Drink Evil, and hundreds of minor evils which have been attacked, and defeated by the church without sensational prayer seasons, arrived it as the last resort, and if the white and black Christians will unite their forces, the Lynching Evil will be downed perhaps, not more prayer but more determined effort to use the things which God has placed at hand Proper Assertion of American Citizenship where possible, after calm, deliberate thought. A closer adherence to the fundamental principles of PROGRESIVE CHRISTIANITY, as presented by ministers and devotees of the Evangelical Church; Greater racial pride and higher respect for existing laws on the part of the individual. Stricter attention to the sublime tenets of the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST. These are tangible forms of prayer that will get heaven's attention and results. When the Negroes or members of the other race, who claim to know Jesus Christ decide that Lynching shall be no more, it is reasonable to believe that their forces will blend to accomplish the objective, and until that time—We wait, confident that God will not interfere until man's extremity has been fully reached.

Labernacle Baptist Corner 8th and Water, Rev. E. Leon Naila, Pastor. Services were very good Sunday at our church. Yet we found quite a number of our congregation who are afraid of the cold. Our pastor spoke to us Sunday morning from the subject of "Soul Neglect and Carnal Gain." It was full of thought and helpful hints. The Intermediate Class taught by Mrs. Marion Williams is sure some banner class. A bunch of energetic workers. On Sunday night the pastor again spoke to us on the subject: "Ye shall have Tribulations." We all enjoyed the message as he talked to us by the way. We will have service at 11:00 a. m., Xmas day. Everybody invited at this hour to worship with us. Among the visitors of our church, Sunday was Miss Odell, the teacher of the eighteenth street school. Visitors and strangers are always welcome to our church. St. Paul Notes. "Co-Workers with God" was the subject of an inspiring sermon delivered by Rev. Pope last Sunday morning. Although the day was rather cold, a splendid audience enjoyed the service and music as usual. On Xmas morning a special Christmas service will be held at 4:30 a.m. at which time the choir with increased voices will render the cantata, "Ilioly Night." The public is cordially invited. The Sunday School last Sunday morning manifested a greater interest and enthusiasm in the lesson than usual and the increased corps of teachers are beginning to do good work. Rev. Pope was called to Denver Monday on account of the illness of his daughter, who was reported very low. It is sincerely hoped she will soon recover, and that the Reverend will be at his post Sunday. The Allen Endeavor League which meets at 6:30 p. m., cordially invites you to come and participate in their splendid topics and discussions. The Junior choir is doing well in their work, and should be encouraged. The budget system of financing the church begins Sunday, Jan. 1, and every member is expected to respond with their envelopes cheerfully and promptly. On Thursday evening of next week a great "get-to-gether meeting" will be held by the official members and friends. They anticipate a grand social time, with a brief program, music and refreshments. Everything free. Come and get acquainted. St. Merv Baptist Notes Rev. J. E. Douglas, Pastor. Our Sunday services were very fair. Our pastor, just returned from the Convention at St. Louia, Mo., where he said in his report to the church, they had a great Convention. Our Sunday School was opened on time by the pastor, the subject: "Jesus Among Friends and Foes," was At 11:30, the minister's subject war At 11:30 the ministers subject was "The Conduct of Jesus." The sermon was one seemingly well prepared from the Sunday School lesson. May we mention just here that Master James Douglass seems to want to preach, eh? The B. Y. P. U. Session was one of joy. All enloved the rubfect: "Lovally to the Word." Mrs. Sims the Vice President, in the absence of the President, Bro. Newton, conducted the session orderly. Dr. Wm. Craft, Field Secretary of the National B. Y. P. U. Convention being detained with Dr. Fishback, did not get to be with us in the Union but came in time to preach us a great sermon from Heb. 10th chapter, subject: "Faith;" which all enjoyed Come again. We are with the National B. Y. P. U., as well as the rest of the children of the Great National Convention. We pray God's speed and pleasure upon Dr. Craft. Deacon J. D.

U. preached for us Sunday morning, a most profound sermon, from Heb. 13:5; subject:—"God's Promise." Dr .Craft spoke authentically, stating that God's promises are sure and valid as they ever were. He showed that we, by self-deception would dare to doubt God's promises. How we beguile ourselves by misconception, ill-conceptions and misinterpretation, either consciously or unconsciously. These same phenomenons constitute the greater part of the real tragedies in Christendom. Dr. Crayt urged a stron faith in God's promises on our part. "Seest thou how faith wrought with His works and by works was faith made perfect?" "And the Scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: And he was called the friend of God." One interesting, outstanding feature of Abraham's faith is that Abraham's father was a maker of idols, but when God called Abraham he went without any hesitancy to and which he knew not. A beautiful thought, too, was brought out by Dr. Craft that earth's beauty was created for man. The measures of the earth were created for man. In his preliminaries, Dr. Craft commimited the congregation on its constituent. Feeling that some thought that he was referring to Mr. rime, who for several years has been connected with the National Work of dentists, he excerted him and smoked one whom many did not suspect he had reference—naying a high trubu in Mr. B.

V. P. Ha., senior and junior are busy helping to shape and train the younger minds. Will you help Quality Merchandise. -- At the lowest possible cost. OBER D. NOSSAMAN, 2143 North Lawrence.
