Migration greater evidence of courage in opposing mobs, both on the part of officers and colored people's have tended to reduce the total of America's depraye sport.

Jones, who is now resting from her labor. She spent 63 years on this earth and left signs that she did not live in vain in the rearing of her children. Many friends remembered her during her illness and many flowers of respect given. Her funeral was attended by Dr. R. L. Pope at St. Paul A. M. E. Church last Tuesday at 2:00. We extend sympathy to the loved one. LABOR AGENT SWINDLES MANY NEGROES. (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service) LITTLE ROCK, ARK, July 12--It is claimed that more than 100 Negroes called at police headquarters last Thursday night and reported the activities of Robert Brown, said to be a labor agent. The police say that no check-up was made on the amount he obtained from the unsuspecting and gullible Negroes; but the victims reported that he had received from $2 to $5 from each of them as evidence that they would report at the specified time to be carried to the North. The police believes that Brown fleeced them out of more than $300. The first report was made to the police by John Ware, of Conway, who gave the police a description of Brown It is said following the report made by Mr. Ware that Negroes fairly swarmed the city hall. Ware told the police that he met Brown last Sunday and the agent interested him in a job in Pittsburgh, Pa. The work was in one of the Carnegie Steel Company mills and that the pay to start was 60 Cents an hour on ten hour basis. He said that workmen often worked double-time and frequently made from $12 to $14 a day. In fact they work 12 hours at all the mills in Pittsburgh with time-and-half over 10 hours. So that a laborer never made less than $7.80 a day. Other features of the proposition were that all of Ware's expenses to Pittsburgh would be paid and in addition to the $7.80 a day, board and room would be furnished free; or he could find lodging in private boarding houses at a nominal sum. Brown told him it was customary for the labor agent to receive $4.00 to secure the pass on the railroad. The police say that all victims were instructed to report to Brown at various railroad stations in the city and at different hours. The police says that there were more than two score of Negroes at the Missouri Pacific station on Monday night waiting for Brown and the passes. Were said that he waited in the Rock Island station for several hours and when Brown failed to appear he decided to report the matter to the police. One Negro is said to have told the police sergeant that if we meet Brown on the street something is going to happen and if he gets the worst of the deal it won't be his fault, cause he's not something coming to him and we are going to see that he gets it. Card of Thanks. We wish to thank our many friends for their kindly assistance and comforting words during the illness and death of our dearly beloved wife and mother, also for the beautiful floral offering.

Coleman, Pauline Walters and Martha Williams. PICNIC All students from Wabash Studio and Parents will go for their Annual Picnic, Wednesday morning at 8:00 o'clock. ARE YOU AWARE? That sharper the instrument the quicker the pain; the sharper words the greater the pain! That when a you lady shows unusual care for her intendel, he gets somewhat careless? If she would retain the high respect thus her, she must be lovable get now lie in her actions. She should love, but ntver submit herself to questionable things; for when a young lady is careless of her integrity before marriage she will be careless and cause trouble afterward. That some of the people would have Congress enact laws forbidding preachers dipping and dabbling into their affairs? They say that the preacher should preach the gospel and let the people alone. We wonder sometimes whether they know what the gospel really is. No one objects to a doctor practicing medicine. No one objects to a teacher doing a good job of instructing in his school-room; No one objects to a merchant merchandizing; why, because these are their particular lines of business. Well, then isn't it the business of the preacher to deal with the sins of the people. Some claim that Paul was the greatest preacher that we know of; his sermons were filled with admonitions and advices on how to get out and stay out of sin. In other words a preacher stands as a watchman on the wall guarding the people against all sin. So when the minister hits you, just give him credit for tending to his business. That Jr. Barnes reciting Jack and Jill, is reported as saying; Jack fell down and broke his crown And Jill put it back on him. Above all, believe it pays to know the truth and follow it. Water Street Y. M. C. A. News. The Bows of the Association put on a splendid Athletic Exhibition at the Fair Grounds on July 4th. The Daily Paners gave special mention of the same. On Friday Evening, July 6, the Executive Secretary, with the Quintett, and a group of other boys, put on a program at the Armory, in connection with the Recruiting Campaion. The Officers were so well pleased that the Boys have been invited to return. These boys are proving that the Colored Boy can do something entertaining besides makes a "Monkey" out of himself. In spite of the many attractions and the complete incidence on the part of many; the SECOND ANNUAL, CARNIVAL was a decided success. The kiddies were furnished a week of real enjoyment. FRIDAY, July 13, 1923. PETER H. BURKE The Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, who is in charge of the Drive for $100,000 to be raised at the session of the National Baptist Convention at Los Angeles, Calif. in September; made an appeal to the young people to join in the Drive, as such an amount was necessary to get the Convention out of debt. It is understood that the Sunday Schools and the Baptist Young Peoples' Unions will be largely represented in a substantial way. →Dr. J. A. Bocker, President of the Arkansas Baptist College, Little Rock made a short talk. Thus ending the morning session with benediction. In the afternoon, Mrs. M. Brockwav, made an address and the Rev, Dr. Sutton E. Griggs, the philosopher of the race spoke about two books which he had given the world. He rank with best author of the age, and in his writing he is pleading the cause of the race. "The Relation of the Land to God's Redemption Purpose," was the theme discussed by the Rev, W. B. M. Scott of Chicago, Illinois, and remarks were made by the Rev, Dr. Maxwell of St. Louis, Mo. Friday evening is one to be remembered. The musiq was seemingly made to order for the occasion, and the speaker was the Rev. Dr. W. H. Moses of New York, pastor of the National Baptist Church. "Understanding the Times" was the theme of the able sermon. Following the sermon, Hon. John L. Webb. Commanding General of the National Baptist A. F. Boy Cadets, spoke on the "Boy Problem" and had a demonstration of the work of the Hot Springs Cadets. He declared that it was not enough to morally save the girls and neglect the boys. He said: "I have been for a number of years studying conditions as they really confront us, and I find that the future hope of the race rests not alone with the saving of the girls, but the boys as well. The loss of one boy may mean the loss of a civilization and the destruction of a nation. We have too many boys merely drifting. furnishing the material for the chain gangs, for the fails, for the penitentaries. Let us make the first step toward saving our boys through the Sunday School, through the B. Y. P. U., by giving them something to do. In every church, Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. should have an organization of Boy Cadets, and you will see a great change in condition. Our boys must be saved, for on them hangs the future of the race." Dr. W. C. Howell, of Hope, made an address, telling of the necessity of united effort on the part of all workers. Dr. L. G. Jordan, offered resolution touching the open violation of the 18th Amendment to the Federal Constitution. The resolution declared that the effort of foreign ships to flood the United States with whiskey was worse than battleships standing ready to bombard the cities of the country. It LET US MEET AND EDIFY. The Music Lover's Study Club will meet next Monday night July 16, with Mrs. H. T. Geeder 1212 North Waco Ave. Subject to be discussed by Mrs. G. L. Scott and Prof. E. M. Barnes will be "Three Distinct Characteristics Between Negro Music and otter Music." Mrs. Thomas Fines will give Current Events concerning: Burleigh, Hayes and Cook. Mrs. H. T. Geeder will sing a solo by some Negro composer. Mrs. M. K. King will read an article on Negro music; and the member will take na. was a strong resolution and was unanimously adopted. Dr. P. James Bryant, in his address on Sanctification said among other things "Many of our churches are being divided, and many good members are misled by false notions of sanctification or as some term it second blessing. God pity that person who says that his chains were loosed, his shackle bursted and his soul set free, and who has received but one blessing since. If he has been truly converted, if he has unfaltering faith in his Redeemer, he has received a blessing in answer to every prayer he has uttered. When a person is inspired to do all the good possible, to become sanctified to God's service, it is but a normal indication of a healthy growth in his Christian life. Sanctification means set aside for a specific purpose. If we remember the story of creation, we know that God sanctified the Seventh Day for Holy purposes. "Our people need to learn that there are some things sacred. The churc is sacred, the pulpit is sacred, and the preacher is a sacred man at the altar. God deliver me from the Sunday School superintendent, who is not sanctified to his work; God deliver me from the B. Y. P. U. president, who is not sanctified to his work; God deliver me from the leader of any group of our church work who is not sanctified. The preacher is sanctified to live an upright life, and the people in the pews are chosen for the same purpose. "Sanctification is purification of the heart. The heart turns from the things it once fought, it turns to Jesus. Sanctification means to be set apart for holy purpose, and then to become holy. Sanctification is an exalting to higher plains of Christian growth and fellowship through Jesus Christ." Dr. W. S. Ellington said in part: "We are making an effort to teach our young people self-help, self-respect, and that color is no bar to progress. The Negro has been noted during all ages past for his sympathy and admiration for the good and true. This is why Abdemelech, the Negro from Africa lifted Jeremiah out of the pit, where he had been placed to perish. It is the aim of the Sunday School to educate and to save the young manhood and womanhood of our race. Self-respect, economy, patriotism and industry follow Christian education as the day follows the sun... (To be continued) THE CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST. THE CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST. Let me speak a few words to the glory and honor of Ilis Name. I feel blessed of the Lord this day to speak a few words to the Church of God in Christ. We are still pressing on in the army of the Lord and for this highway of hoiness. We really praise God for our beloved pastor, Elder A. J. Jones, who brings to us the real word of God, unaduaterated. We have found in him the spirit like unto that of Jeremiah, whom God did set over the nation and the kingdom to root out and to pull down and to destroy and to throw, to build and to plant. Many people do not believe in our way of serving God, but however it does not change the Scriptures. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the sign and seal of speaking in tongues, as record- Five Cents Per Copy KU KLUX KLAN OPENLY DEFIES U S. GOVERNMENT (Freston News Service) Tuskegee, Ala., July 10—The parade of 700 klanamon last Tuesday in Tuskegee as a protest against the appointment of Negroes to positions in the government hospital there for Negroes is an open distance of the United States government. It is said that white citizens in Alabama have been protesting against appointing of Negroes to positions of responsibility at the hospital, from the governor on down to the lowest white scullion. It is said the other day a young Negro, named John J. Calhoun, a stenographer, Norfolk, Va., remorted last Tuesday morning to be stenographer in the office of the hospital, suplang Miss Hurdrett, a white girl stenographer. When she went out and told the whites of the city what had been done. Immediately the klan planned the parade that night to frighten the young man awav. It is said by southern whites that Calhoun bent a hasty retreat, leaving his trunk, clothes and even suitcase. According to the best information available it is said that the whites here feel that the presence of the most eminent and skilled Negroes at work in the hospital will give the young Negro students of Tuskegee Institute a mistaken idea and all of them will want to be doctors and professional men, instead of farmers and tradesmen. The girls will want to be trained nurses instead of domestics. This will have a very bad influence on the southern Negro, and it is to obviate the possibility of such "evil" influences on the young Negroes of the South that they object so strenuously to the manning of the hospital with a Negro personel. ed in Acts 2 4:19 6 and 10 46. We do not believe that we are baptized with the spirit in order to be saved and become the Sons of God, but that we are baptized with the Holy Ghost because we are saved and are the Sons of God. (We hold that we are saved by being born of the Spirit, not by being baptized with the Spirit. While we do not presume to teach that no one has the spirit who does not speak in tongues, or that one is not saved who does speak in tongues; yet, we believe that a full baptism of the Holy Ghost as poured out on the day of Pentecost is accompanied by the speaking in tongues. And that the baptism of the Holy Ghost has the same effects and results upon every child of God that receives it the same as the new birth has the same effects and results on every one that is born of the Spirit, and we do not consider any one pentecostal who teaches contrary to this doctrine. WATER BAPTISM. We believe that the instructions given us by the Saviour as recorded in Matt. 28:19, 20, is sufficient for our guide and rule as to the formula of water baptism, namely; in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. (The Second Coming of Christ.) We believe in the second coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and that He will reign on the earth in Millennial Power and Glory, and in the rapture of the bride of Christ, when she shall be caught up to meet her bridegroom in the air. We admonish all who have this hope in them to purify themselves as he is pure. THE SABBATH. We recognize the first day of the week as the Christian Sabbath. May God bless you all to come and take a part in the great midsummer campaign, which is held at 13th and Mosley Ave. Yours in Jesus' Name, S. Lee Smith, Reporter, Elder A. J. Jones, Pastor.

T highest alm of a minister called by God to deliver the message of Salvation to a sin sick world and dying humanity ouht to be the positive determination to deliver the message of heaven without. thought of financial successes, world- Jy honor or personal advantages to be gained in business, social or political circles, No man is fitted to stand forth as an ambassador of the Lord Jeraa Christ. who for personal gain ateps aside from the evangelistic field to take up work of a secular nature foreign to the great mission of the church, God is demanding that his mintsterfal servants apply thelr time atrictly to the great work of advanc- ing the Program of the Kingdom and when the ministers began to apply themselves more to such a program the powers of the CHRISTIAN CHURCH will shing out in the entire fallness of the Spiritual Church of God out of Heaven which is to as- sume the spiritual government of this old earth and solve the problems which now perplex humanity, ee ee eee ween ins om } DPIRDS are singing carols of joy, B which sweep down through the waving green of forest land hke the awelling of a mighty ocean; All earth trembling with the growing happiness of human kin made possible by a full assertion of the spirit of Christian Manhood and Womanhood rings with. the triumps of those who follow in the way of the Cross. Individual peoms of special delight are heard amidst the general bustle of whirling labor and commerve as the world’s work moves on propelled by a definite sense of duty, HAPPINESS in the SIGN of the CROSS is fast becoming the watchword of the masses. Broth- er—Sister are you too gathering the golden beams of joy and happiness along life’s path? Are you making full assertion of that higher degree of God-like forces which lie within your power? Are you one in the mighty number of those who go forth daly to make music for this old world? Is your hfe attuned to the spirit of the age? Are you able to catch the melodious psalms of glori- fied suecess and foin in the chorus af songs heaven born which enable the ‘weary soul to outride the terrific atorms o f hfe? If not every evangelie minister of Wichita* and the wide world has something in the nature of 8 celeatical message for you Sunday which to you may mean the turning point in your individual success and the tuning up of your life to the seale essential to such success. GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY, ——— r Political circles the heated pot of agitation will again under the pressure of conserved thought beg in to boll within the next few months thruout the estate and nation, Tt is time that the race awake more fully to giving consideration not to what proposed political candidates may have to say as to their relative merits and what they will do for the indivicual and collective successes of the race but to the work accomplish- ed in the interests of the entire coms munity and particular in the interet of law and order as it may effect the successes of the race. From the pres- idency to the lowest position in the land no man's aspirations are worthy of consideration who in the least de. gree has given indications of not be- ing possessed with a sense of duty binding him to promised obligations to the voters of the race, A failure to keep a pre-election promise to the voters of the race on its face ought to be regarded as sufficent warrant to defeat any candidate for office be it the president or mere dog catcher, and the defeating factor ought to be the voice, influence and vote of the particular race group decelved. Race as a whole must enter fully into the| spirit of the game in the next cam- naign not awayed by selfish motives based vpon an individual gain of « few dollars but upon the altruistic principles of the greatest amount of good to be obtained by the race thru ® determined massing of the ballot , and its power ta defeat all leaders ‘of the race In its political and moral apheres as a group of the great Amer- {ean heatd thru the voice of its lead- ers who have given thought to the so-called politic! (game. and then after having made an application of {ndividual thought to the problema discussed vote and vote atrong in tho interests of the race forgetting any feclinga which may exist in ita own ‘circles relative to the respective mer- ita of its leaders, REGISTER and VOTE must be the watchword of the race, The next campaign both local and national will have many inter- esting auestion to the front for solu. tlon. The race must be prepared to meet the fray. Registration is ab- golutely essential to an ascertion of citizenship and after registration a determined batlot cast against tha influences of any detrimental agency or propaganda not in accordance with the sublime principles of Chris- tlanized Americanism. We must in the anproaching campaign allow our course to be determined not by the eloauent voice of political snell bind- fers or flash of a few gold pleces but rather by conclus'ons arrived at af- ‘ter a careful period of observation covering the last twd years of activi- tes by these who in the glory of Republicanism enJoved the support of the race in the last campaign, ¥T is somewhat amusing to not ee ear ye Dlg nl, St atak FER Ee eee, hema erat the attitude of the white peo- ple of Alabama relative to the forces which are to make up the official cir: cles of the new government hospital located at Tuskegee. A race dispis. ed, rejected. shunned and declared by those claiming a vast degree of su- reriority to be forever doomed to a second rate place in the affairs of the country. Yet, now comes the Mighty White Citizens of Alabama, and demands that members of this great superior race be allowed to mingle with and serve as tht lowly fervants of humanity to members of the reflected race who are to receive the benefits of the hospital. This {fs but added evidence that the so-called prefudiced attitude of the southern white man fs a base lie easily de- tected by the dixplav of government rold, To gain gold the white man will change any attitude towards any race, and with the proper amount of gold any group in America can in a great measure determine po{tieal, economis, and even social problems of any given community, White forces are not essential to the suc- cess of the Tuskegee Hospital and the demand of tke race ovght to be that for one time the rule establish. ed in Alabama towards the race be fully applied in the operation of the hosnital, White brain and ability to rerve under the banner of humanity for the white race and black brain and ability tn nerve in a like capac. ity for the black race, PEA LOCALS Pate Miss Carrie Miles of Muskogee, Okla , ie a visitor in the city, Mies Lucy Rizkman of Newton, spent the week end in the city, W, J, Allen of Omaba, Nebr, waea visitor In the city, Sunday, Miss E.
