Editor Chandler Owens Of New York gave a very impressive and effective lecture on "What Must The Negro Do To Be Saved?" It gave all the listeners new and varied ideas on the racial problems that confront America today. Venturing to show members of other races the best that is in us instead of giving them the impression that the Negro can do nothing but show the nonthinking side and make the other fellow "laugh." Give them the best always, whether it makes them laugh or not. WATCH these columns next week for a neat Topic Card, compiled by Rev. A. W. Ross, B.

GET READY. Dear Brother:—We are anxious to have the largest delegation possible at the coming session of the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, which meets in Hot Springs, Ark., June 19-24, 1923. We are calling on all the officials of the Congress to exert themseves fully in efforts to have an extra large delegation from their respective states. You can write a few personal letters to Superintendents of Sunday Schools and Presidents of B. Y. P. U. Societies, urging them to send messengers to the Congress. You can speak a word to pastors urging them to attend the Congress and to assist the officers of the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. in raising money with which to pay the expenses of their messengers to the Congress. You can send us the names of persons to whom we might write for the purpose of interesting them in the movement. Anything that you may do to help us in this matter will be appreciated very much. The Congress Publicity Bureau, E. W. D. Isaac, Charman. Dr. Brown Member of State Committee. Dr. G. G. Brown of Wichita, has been elected as member of the State Committee of the Y. M. C. A., at a regular meeting of the State Committee at Topeka, last Tuesday, Apr. 24, 1922. Dr. Brown is the efficient chairman of the Water Street Bran'h Y. M. C. A. The workers here feel grateful to the State Committee for their wise choice and believe that he will do his duty. Religious Conference And Feed at First Methodist Church. Tuesday evening marked another epoch in Wichita's religious program. With the dining department practically filled with about forty different protestant church workers, and Mr. W. C. Coleman, presiding in his democratic way, gave brief statement of the object of the gathering and presented Mr. Marshall of Hutchinson, who urged every church in the city to bring up its quota to the convent'on next week. He spoke of how proud Hutchinson was to have the convention so near, as they could not take it this year. A few more timely remarks from Mr. Coleman made us ready to hear from Dr. E. A. Lowther, pastor of First Methodist Church, on "Every Day Religion." He outlined a mighty fine program for the religious development of the youth of the city, to co-operate with the school board, asking for one day per week and one period for each grade, to be taken care of by each church furnishing an efficient teacher. No plans are made for credits as yet, because at this stage of the game it can not determine the phase of the work. Since the paramount object of the Federation is evangelism, Mr. Boyles spoke on the Gypsy Smith Me tine, Sept. 1-30 1923, and plead for co-operation. Mr. Coleman endorsed the plea and stated that each church would get out of it what it put into it. Dr. Ross W. Sanderson, executive secretary of the Federation of Church of the city, gave 10 special features of the program that the Federation is putting over: 1. Information Center; 2. Publicity Bureau; 3. Service Bureau; 4. Educational Center; 5. Place of Good Will; 6. Center of Evangelization; 7. Restricted force to break down immorality and vice; 8. Co-ordinating Center; 9. Positive Force for Good Will; 10. Unique Institution in Kansas for religious power. The presiding officers and their force, submitted a plan of, a great and more far reaching organization and after much discussion, a motion went through giving place of a committee to name, draw constitution and make ready for a new or great organization by May 14th; one that will take in all the protestant churches of the city. SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE STAR Rochelle Mounts Represents Friends University in Iowa Thursday at 1:35 p. m., Mr. Rochelle Mounts, the loved student of the Friends University and who stands high in athletic realms, left for Des Moines, Iowa, to enter the track meet at Drake University. He will enter the 100 yard Dash, 220 yard Dash, the 400 Malay and the 1 mile Malay. Your friends are praying that you bring home the "Bacon." Friday, he will enter the eliminat on game and Saturday he will make history of honor for Wichita and the Friends University in the track meet. ARE YOU AWARE? That the editor of this column has not only been unaware for about three weeks, but also too busy with other things to get aware.? That Wichita has been wonderfully blessed within the last few weeks in having some of the best and most logical advice on racial issues? We sometimes wonder about the result of this very wholesome exhortation. It is generally true that those who need badly it is inspiration are never present. So, the problem is still up to those who already have the vision and inspiration; but, who attend these meetings for information and en-ouragement. That some one relates that, Miss Swelsch's age is telling on her, but we have been informed that she has been reducing by music? That some one also said that Miss Rhodes will not be gack to Wichita, to teach unless she comes to teach the other maids matrimonial formalities? Monarchs Defeat Monrovians. Last Tuesday, brought the long looked for and noted Kansas City Monarchs before the Wichita Base Ball Fans to contest for victory against the mighty Monrovians. They came to make a race track out of the ball park, but the Monrovians objected in the bitterest terms and for three innings not a man had crossed the home plate. In the fourth the Monarchs landed the first score, but the Monrovians came back at them by landing two in the last half of the fourth. The Monarchs saw from plan facts that it took head work to win, so Douglas took his position behind the bar and the pitcher let go that might arm to deadly effect on the Monrovia batters. The Monarchs landed two scores in the 5th and one in the 8th, while. Stimson and his able support kept the "goose eggs" coming for the Monrovians. Young catching and Farmer pitching was a mighty force against the onrush to victory of the mighty Monarchs, but a few errors and fumbles lost the game. Evitt, the short stop and Grayson, the second baseman made the star catches of the game. Scores by innings: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9-R Monarch.....0 0 0 1 2 0 0 1 0-4 Monrovia.....0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0-2 It was a clean and entertaining game from start to finish. Our Col. C. P. Edwards umpired the game to the satis- faction of all. Thursday, Monrovia took a fast game from Tonkawa. Scores 9 to 3. The Harmonious Four. The program was opened Monday evening appropriate remarks by Mrs. Mattle Young, the pianist. She stated Mr. Harold Goss had been called to a larger field. The opening trio was very fascinating, each playing well his part. "Smile Through Your Teers" was a sweet tenor solo by Mr. Chester Porter. "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray" was so sweet, that audience wanted another at once; then came "Walk in Jerusalem Just Like John." Solo, "The King of the Desert" was a baritone solo of class by Mr. Winfield Burks, the encore brought another: "I Love A Lassie," which was equally as sweet. The Negro composition "Swing Alone" by the trio was fine. The bass solo by Mr. Howard Jones, "If You Can't be True to One or Two, You Better Get Three," an encore brought forth "King Solomon," with equal melody. The illustrated trio was certainly a treat to the audience with Mr. Porter leading. "The Teacher Sit NOTICE! PROF. P. II. MOSS, Principal of the Christian Institute of Edwards, Miss., with his workers, will hold a Bible Institute, May 5, 6, at The Avenue Christian Church. The Public is invited to attend these meetings. An Error Corrected. We wish to correct a mistake in last week's issue—An article stated that the Legion Boys were entertained with a card party by the Ladies' Auxiliary, at the Y. M. C. A. Instead, it should have read "SURPRISE PARTY." The dictation was over phone and was misunderstood. We offer an apology and explanation to the ladies and the Y. M. C. A. It was a pleasant affair and much enjoyed by the boys who expressed their highest appreciation of the loyalty and interest shown by the ladies of the auxiliary. Mrs. S. W. Flemings entertained the members of the G. L. A. Club Tuesday afternoon. Household hints and current events were given.

Stokes of Pratt, who in his humorous, but witty way boosted for the Week of Jubiles. The closing trio was equally as fascinating and put them on record as the great singers of the city.

To all whom this may concern:— We take this method to prevent the manyrcaders of The Star from being mus-informed. The so-called St. Paul Church, mentioned under caption of being recognized, is misleading. This little bunch of people, supposed to be have been organized over a year ago, with persons, nore of whom had let- ters from their churches, with which to organize; therefore, they have never been re*ogn.zed 4s a church by the Second Baptist Church nor any one else in this city, because of the un-oithodox way in which they pro- ceeded. Some time ago, the Rev, Nir. Crutchfield who is at the head of this raovement, issued a call from the fol- lowing churches to be present through their messengers: The Baptist Church at Larned; Second Bapt st Cturch, Piatt; Eeptist Church, Dodge City; St. Mary Baptist Church, Wichita; and Second Baptist Church, Hutchin- son; to pasa on the regu’arity and doctrine of this fittle band to see whether they should be recognized or not. Only one of the above churches responded to the call, with exception of the Second Baptist Church, Hutch- inson, The pastor from Pratt in the person of Rev, Norris J, Stokes, came, but finding ¢ondition in an unbap- tistic skape, he would not have any- thing to do with rt. Three other min- Asters had been Invited: one by Jetter, two just verbally asked to be present, and yct a fourth preacher, was there by Invitation. Not one of these four were invited through any church whatever, Two messengers and thg writer from the Second Baptist Ch., are diligently inquiring Into reasons for organization, principles, practice and doctrine. No ret of Baptist in the world would have accepted it, All of the men, every one of them had | some period of the part, organized, just such churches themselves and seemed to have been In accord with this movement, before the call was made, Therfore, when a vote was ta- ken, these four ministers, together with the vote of the Rev, Mr, Crutch- field, whose work we were to inspect made five for the recognization and the three messcngers from the Sece ond Baptist, cast three votes against it, We have nothing against any one personally, but we do seriously object to practice of late of some of our churches of allowing preachers to split churches, just for the vengeance, Therefore, be it understood, That the Second Baptist Church and pastor, do not recognize the St. Paul asa church until they are organized on sound Baptist principles and doctrines (Sign’d)Rev, E.W,D, Gorman, pastor 412 Ave. E.

In other words th race must fight its first battle within its own ranks and overcome all forces that cannot see the glones of the forces within itself and seeing, boast, support and lift to the top round of success, One black man of abihty and character, advance. ing along any given hne of endeavor, eounts for the future, glorious success of your race; but how can he advance ‘unless you stop, think and determine to support the men who are striving in their several spheres to advance the race? Without your individual support, the race is lacking in an essential factor the thing needful. Your pennies and dollars are needed by the forces now striving to build your race, Make a pull for the success of the race by giving patronage and sympathy. to its movements. A LAMENTABLE SITUATION is existing when with swift and scoopng movement, agencies, bent upon providing questionable pleas- ures, can, within a few hours’ notice secure vast projects from members of the race while the advent of its gifted educators, orators, men of art and letter, mighty leaders, fail to produce even a representative group, The truth stands that any race is standing upon a myterious abyss when the unearthly melodics of an CES LOCALS exsret SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE STAR.

The Race supreme will always be the race that appriciates to the full, its men of thought, abihty and character. One School Teacher is worth a hun- dred commonplace bards of the m.n- strel troupe in advancing the future successful sphere of the race. Une master editor is worth a million dance ball masters, paving the way for the downfall of the youths of the race by providing the enchantng pass which leads on towards the total de- struction of the fundamentals of ra- cial glory, on analytic appreciat.on of TRUTH as found in the spheres of LOVE and DUTY. One humble min- ister of any Evangelical Church, counts for eternity and its vast values against any unworthy enterprise al- lowed to move towards’ the ranks of the race unchallenged by its Chris- tian Forces, bent upon debasing the manhood and womanhood of the race. The time has well come when we as @ people must begin to show our appreciation of the things that count for racial success, If we cannot ap- preciate the grandeur of our mighty men in the editorial room, behind the desk of the school room or on the top round of success in other spheres, What right kave we to expect other races to show such appreciation? It is time for the race to give an incen- tive for our men and women who lead in the school, press bureau, pul- pit and other realms of endeavor to press on, fully confident that as they rise they must Lift the entire race, and on the other hand if they do not advance through the medium of racial appreciation It is a good indicative of the fact that the race is standing still.
