WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Dec. 21,1923. ~~ ~—~—~—~_-‘Five Cents Per Copy KENTUCKY WOMEN SEEK GOOD WILL clal):—Thirty Kentucky women, leai- ers in their respective religious and eonnection with the State Interracial elvic groups, met here last week in Conference, organized as the woman's section of the Interracial Commission and fssued a vigorous statement In the interest of justice and good will between the white and colored races ‘The organization meetings were pre- sided over by Mrs. Helm Bruce, of Touleville, and the permanent officers chosen were Mrs. Charles Scmple Chairman, Mrs, R, K. Massie, Vice- Chairman, Miss Nannie Hite Winston Seerctary. 4 The statcment Issued congratulates Kentucky on its recent freedom from lynchings, condemns the injection of palgns, demands a single standard of race prejudice into political cam- morals that will protect the integri- ty of both races, and declares for the protection of the life and property of all alike, and for fair division of school advantages and other public facilities. It was recommended that in every community an interracial group of women be formed for mutual understanding and co-operation, par- ticularly in mattcrs affecting the wel. fare of women and children. Follow- ing are some of the more striking paragraphs: “We declare our belief in the right- ousness of a single standard of so- ial morality for both sexes and both aaces. We plead for the protection of the purity of all womanhool and urge that the integrity of the Negro home fhall be held inviolate by the men of Loth razes, “We hold that no circumstances can justify the disregard of civil law and human rights involved in lynchings and other forms of mob violence. We deplore the fact that such deeds have so stigmatized our people that in non Christian countries our Christian civ- ilization is discredited, Truly thank. ful for our Kentucky law against lynching and the fact that it has been upheld, we pledge ourselvcs to sup- port our officials in every effort to cn- force this law. “We believe it to be our Ia-perative duty to cultivate in both races, espe: cially amorg the young people at home and in schuol, such attitudes of good will and mutual helpfulness that bitterness, resentment and strife shall pield to a wholesome faith in our com- mon humanity.” Similar groups of women have been erganized in nearly all the southern states for ccoperation with state In- trracial committees and with the va- rious denorinational and civic bodies in the interest of better race adjust. “ments.

WATCH MEETING NIGHT The Foreign Mission Board pro- Jected its drive for Xmas and from what we learn it has been a real ave- cess, for which we thank God and our whole brotherhood, for many years we have left Xmas tg these other Boards and Home Charities and work- ed to make Watch Meeting a Mission- ary effort. Since our Foreigm Mission Board has used Xmas wo are urging our pastors to remember the Mortis Mevrorial Building, the home of our Sunday School Board, on watch meet. ing night... We got the $50,000, for which we strugg'ed by Nov. 1, but most of it was borrowed for varolus lengths of time—I know of one case where $1000 was borrowed for 30 days. ‘ Dr. Townsend ard his committee, it.can be seen will suffer in meeting those borrows unless we help them So, I am asking our people every- where to make some kind of an offer- ing for the S, S. Publishing Board on Watch Blecting night. All can pray and many can give on that night. Let Pastors and People heed this appeal and give willingly. Come to Nashville, September 1924 and see the vory largest effort ever put over by Negroes in all the country. Allen Hutcherson Must Win.

BARNCS, That there’s not much hopes for the ndvancement of a peopta who will not sacrifice if need be to encourage the young people? It's a pretty big fob at best now-a-days to make any- thing of our boys and girls, So it takes all the cooperation end encour- agement possible to keep the young. sters out of the course which offers the least resistance. That somebody wants to know where the Hi-Y Quintet is? They hav- ing been informed that the quintet fs a Wichita Organization, very well un- derstand that the boys have the same disease that causes all other organ- izations to dissolve; However the Icader yct has faith, we hope in the ultimate establishment of a first-class male chorus in Wichita, The ultimate solution of that thing we call race problem will be shared in by both race, In proportion as the white man understunds the Negro and as rapidly as he understands what the thinking class of Negioes mean te the community, then and not untl. then elvilty will redgn in American society, On the other hand the Ne- fra shoutd know the things and con- ditions fer which he desites and then be manly and frank about the express. ing of them.

He should give helpful counsel, sympathetic co-opera- tion and have never falling patience as well as being a constant inspirational worker In the school. To have a “penpy"' Sunday School the Pastor mort co-operate in the work with the officers of the school. It has been sald by one Dr., that “the Sunday school inthe pastors church Is his Sundey School inthe same sense that the pul- pit of his church fahis pulpit.” The belog true, It fullows that if the pas- tor is what he ovght tobe, or what he neaiv be, In ability, in knowledge, in epiritand purpore, his school will be what It ought to bein plan, in organi- zation, in scope and jn methods of work, It will gradually come to ail of this in course of time, even if it were not all of thia when he took held of it. The pastor of the church should be the pastor of the Sunday School. The superintendent should never question the pastor's right and position as the- educational head and spiritual advisor of the Sunday School. Holding euch an important place he is therefore re- sponsible for the teaching that is done Inthe Sunday School, Huis hkewise responsible for the training-o-f«the- teachers He may not do the work of training, buthe should see thatitis properly done, it mignt be said that the pastor is the chief officer of the Sunday School tn the same way that the President of the United States is the Commander.

These were the words of the text selected by Pastor Williams for Sunday morning discourse." Theme: "Faithfulness." Our pastor was enabled by the Holy Spirit to give us a burning message; emphasizing the importance of being faithful unto death. There is nothing in the world that we can point to with pride, that has not cost faithfulness; so it is just as essential in the religious world, if we rope to receive the crown of life. A very impressive sermon, full of strong wholesome facts. Supt. II. Browner was at his post in the Sunday School and a very interesting lesson was taught. The Sunday School is busy preparing their Christmas Program. At 3 p.m., Sunday special services were conducted so very nicely under auspices of the Tennessee Club.

There were 18 adults present; he spoke from the book of Acts; subject: "Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth." He impressed the kiddies to know that God was their Creator and to know that now is the time whilst responsibilities are few, to re-while responsibilities are few to re- Services at the Baptist Church proved a success; Rev.

The 4th Sunday in each month is the assistant officers' day to take in charge, the Sunday School while the regular officers sat in the different classes; in this way keep trained persons ready to work. Every assistant knows his or her place on that day. Much credit is due Supt. L. Knapper for this thought. The lesson was reviewed by three junior girls. Bro. C. Taylor, assistant superintendent then turned the meeting into the hands of the deacons for church service. Rev. D. B Jackson had spent a few days in Memphis, Tenn, where he visited Rev. J. B. Campbell and Rev. S. Woodards on invitation, and reports a very pleasant stay; he preached us a touching sermon; subject: "Grace." Our souls were fed spiritually. We still remember. The B. Y. P. U., had a splendid program put on by Old Reliable Group in form of a rally for our Publishing House; president, E. A. Wilson is leading the B. Y. P. U., with credit. PROGRAM: Singing by Juniors; Object of rally, E. A. Wilson; Trombone Solo, Mr. J. B. Lamb; Growth of the Union, Joseph Alexander; Missionary Aspect of the B. Y. P. U, W, A. Webster; Solo, Miss Della Burns; History of B. Y. P. U., by Bro, J. Burns; Reading, Leah Wilson. At night the pastor preached from the subject; "Ask The Lord What He Would Have You Do." We learned that He would have us to lay aside these little weights, love one another, treat our neighbor as ourselves and n any other things that we were guilty of doing that our hearts bore witness in loud Amens. We believe from this good and truthful sermon many of us have laid off those little hindrances and asked the Lord what He would have us do and then obey. Sunday, Dec. 2, was our covenant. We had a real sipiritual feast, we felt that great Love of God running from heart to heart as each one talked of this wonderful love. The old time way is good enough for me—Rejoicing in the God of my salvation; although it may be called "fogy" we need more of it; it takes the world for Christ. At 3 o'clock the funeral of Deacon Sanders with great honors as one of the oldest deacons and one of the founders of the church; age 84 years. He was faithful to the end; he was at church on Sunday and passed away the next Sunday. Those who shook his hand did not know that it was good-bye. The deacons had charge of the program; Bro. Neal Master of ceremonies. The old soldiers paid their last respect and Pastor Jackson preached him to rest. The Lord's Supper was administered at night; the cholf sang sweetly and came down to commune with us. —PROGRAM— OF THANKSGIVING DAY Song and Prayer Service in thankfulness to God; Scripture Lesson included; Song: "Think of His Goodness To You" Mr. and Mrs. Hickman, all joined in the chorus, History of THANKSGIVING DAY. In the United States, the Fourth (or last) Thursday in November, annually set apart for Thanksgiving Day by proclamation of the President and Governors of the various states. The day is observed with religious services in the churches and especially in New England, as an occasion for family re-union. The Pilgrims set apart a day for thanksgiving at Plymouth immediately after their first harvest CHEROKEE COAL There is no doubt about it--you get the most heat for your money when you buy CHEROKEE Nut - $ 9.00 Lump - 10.50 if you are looking for heat with least trouble, buy PEACOCK Lump - $13.00 Nut - - 12.00 in 1621; the Massachusetts Bay Colony for the first time in 1630, and frequently thereafter until about 1680 when it became an annual festival in that colony; and Connecticut as early as 1639 and annually after 1647, except in 1675. The officials in New Netherland appointed a day for giving thanks in 1644 and occasionally thereafter. During the War of Independence the Continental Congress appointed one or more Thanksgiving Days each year, except in 1777; each time recommended to the executives of the various states the observance of these days in their states President Washington appointed a day of Thanksgiving. (Thursday, the 26th of November) in 1795. President Madison, in response to resolutions of Congress set apart a day of Thanksgiving at the close of the year of 1812. He was annually appointed by the Governor of New York from 1817. In some of the southern states there was opposition to the observance of such a day on the ground that it was a relic of Puritanic Bigotry, but by 1858 Proclamations appointing a day of Thanksgiving was issued by the Governors of twenty-five states and two territories. President Lincoln appointed the fourth Thursday in November 1864, and since that time each President has annually followed his example. Thanksgiving Day is a day set apart to thank God for His goodness and mercies shown us in the past year, and the many blessings we are continuing to witness. We as Christians are to be thankful to God for bringing us out of the miles of sin we are to be thankful for the beautiful temules in which we can meet in a Christian family re-unian. And again we should be thankful that in finding Christ, we have found a friend and brother Who has proven to us that He was not a failure. —By Bro. Jno. B. Burna.

Teach them from infancy up that their hands are a mighty power for good when kept open, but a mighty terror when made into a fist to strike his brother. We should fight but never any human. We think now of the sorrow made around Drew, Mississippi from clinched fists and determined spirit of the whites and the resistful spirit of Joe Pullen, who stood his ground like the Spartans. Some rejoice in this act, and it is right for men to protect themselves, but we are along way from God if we don't protect one another. Ohl if we were fighting to get together instead of fighting to get apart, how quickly would the 'Kingdom come on earth, as it is in heaven.' S THE lynching of A. W. Birch, white wealthy hotel owner, and Robert Jernigan his colored employee in Marlow, Okla., last Monday evening but emphases the fact that there must be an understanding between the better thinking members of both races in America if this country is to remain in possession of that national peace which has made it a haven for all who seek liberty and the accompanying features which are presumed to be the heiritage of American Citizenship. In fact any community that will tolerate an exhibition of such signs as were erected in Marlow ought to be outlawed and declared without the bounds of Civilized Society. There must be a full awakening of National Conscience thrucut the entire country which demand the rapid application of the stern hand of relentless Justice in all cases involving those who participate in Lynching Bees if not then it is not far over-reaching to immagining a day when disaster must sweep over the country as a result of tolerated unlawfulness. By a stretch of imagination one can see the human mind so stirred by brutal outrages as to be impelled towards unlawful retaliations resulting in lynching the most hellish mode employed by a people claiming to be civilized against offenders; one may even picture reasonable grounds for the disgusting practices of naked cannibals far removed from the realm of present day progressive developments but to imagining a community in AMERICA 'THE LAND OF THE FREE and HOME OF THE BRAVE', in which a man is lynched merely because he moved into a community to do economic battle for his daily bread is incorceivable. It is to hoped that while the white race strives to arrive at a better understanding of the Negro with his aims and aspirations that It will also strive to arrive at some definite remedy which will forever brand a community filled with the spirit of racial prejudice and murder which made possible the Maillow affair. CHRISTMAS With Its Joyful Heralding of The Savior Birth is here once again to greet a world torn by racial pride and hatred, social and economic dissention and distrust, national and international disturbances which would make dark the path of the mighty Savior King. As the evening stars steal over the distant horizon and the silvery ray of their twinkling beams play upon the frost bedecked bosom of Mother Earth all is hushed while Man, the master piece of Divine Workmanship ponders over the promises of a world rebuffed in which the human race shall play upon golden harps of worldwide concord the mellowed peanuts of Universal Brotherhood in which all malice, distrust and jealous prejudice are to be overcome by the loving influence of The liabe of Bethlehem Down in the valley of dark oppression struggle races of human kin deep mired in mud of ignorance and slim of savage superstitution; At the base of higher ideas and ideals, a mountain of snow-topped opportunity millions of struggling men battle in the war of economic endcavor burdened with the weight of class hatred and selfish ambition. Out of the terrific noise of world babble comes the moaning groans of terrified motherhood weeping over the prospective future of growing posterity in a world darkened by racial clash and radical misunderstanding while over the snow swept fields comes the tained scent of struggling humanity sweat ladden in the heated pace for individual and collective supremacy. Off in some hidden nook imagination leads towards Nature's magnetic vault of treasures that would be man's if he would but look up and catch the hidden message of angelic voice as with softened melody it pals the way towards universal peace, happiness and good will. Yet it is CHRISTMAS DAY with a world made sad by the EVIL within the heart of man placed there by the dancing spirits of malicious thought bred of racial and individual hatred jealousy, and irreligious tendencies. It is CHRISTMAS DAY with man refusing to heed the glorified chant of heaven's divinest chorus. It is Christmas Day with aching hearts made so by MAN'S INHUMANITY TO MAN. Sadden minds made so by Satan's earthly imps crude hearts in unquanly beings that strike with wasp like tongues of lying deceit and dastardly cunning. It is Christmas Day with the glowing warmth of enchanting palace and cold poverty of humble hut.

EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING The first Executive Board, following the Association at Atchison, convened at Hlawatha, Kansas, Nov. 27th and 28th at Second Baptist Church Rev. E. C. Williamp, pastor. At this point the Official Staff, messengers and visitors were highly entferained and gladly received. The auxiliaries are presided over by Mrs. L. V. Halm, President of the W II. & F. M, Convention; Rev. C. B. Burton, President of the S. S. Convention; Rev. Chas. Favors, President of the B'Y. P. U. Convention; Rev. A. D; Bright; President of the Ministers and Daacons' Union. Rev. W. C. Cart wright, Moderator of Northeastern District Association. The Symposium on the "Life of Christ" conducted in each Session was instructive and inspiring, beginning with the birth of Christ and tracing Him step by step, concluding with His intercession, as follows: (a) His childhood; (b) His Maturity; (c) His death and resurrection; (d) His ascension and intercession. Mrs. Daisy Holbert of Zion, Baptist Ch., read a well prepared composition on the Maturity of Christ. Topic: "The New Deacon For The New Day," created an interest in that department of church activity, hitherto unknown. It developed that conditions have greatly changed in our churches and it takes a qualified deacon according to the Word of God (for the New Day) Acts 6:3, which reads; "Wherefore, brethren; look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business." The dance, intoxicants, movies and card playing; among other evils and vices have so bewitched both young and old until the church realizes, before Zion can travel and bring home the sons and idaughters, she must return to the knowledge and execution of God's Word. The Church as well as Nations is in a general unrest and every interest pertaining to man is involved. In this new day, days of transition, the church must produce the Deacons equal to the task from a righteous point of view. The District Missionary, Rev. J. D. Hunt is a real Missionary, rendering real service. He is preaching in the remote parts of the district—in many places where ready cash cannot be had, the people are responding with meats, fruits and vegetables. The conditions are of such that this man of God needs genuine support that he may better spread the Gospel. Dr. A. D. Ross the newly elected Missionary, delivered his first address to the District; he was cordially greeted by the entire constituency. He said in part: He did not come with any new plans but was trying to carry out the plans already inaugurated by our lamented Missionary, Dr. J. H. Van Leu to whom he paid lasting tributes. The Missionary was at his best and put his soul into the message as he pictured to us the scope of work and the systematic way in which he has his work outlined. The Budget was thoroughly explained and --- the needs of the Seminary presented in a forceful manner. The brethren were urged to attend the Summer School. Dr. Ross was full of the message and his hopes and anticipations so high that it was hard to conclude in so brief a period. The District pledged their untiring support. Rev. King from Southeastern District delivered an able sermon and was invited to return again. Moderator W. C. Cartwright is successfully leading the forces in Northeastern District to victory, being a minister forceful and fearless in the execution of Kingdom Work. Like our Ex-Moderator J. W. Hayes, he is loved by the people and has a vision of the great task to be accomplished. Mrs. Wm. Smothers, Rec. Sec., Northeastern District Association.

New Hope Baptist SUNDAY'S WORSHIP "World-Wide Missions" proved to be a great General Theme in Sunday School, December 16th. What a wonderful privilege is this, to preach the whole Gospel to the whole world. We were favored at eleven a. m. and eight p. m. to hear Rev. B. L. Marchant preach the Gospel in its purity. The sermons were uplifting and interesting. The Scripture Lesson at the evening worship was read from 1 John 4:1-12. The text and subject follow; Ezek. 1:1; "Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw vision of God." "Visions of God are lon of God." "Visions of God and Man's Hope." It is encouraging to witness the activity of our young people in Christian worship and service. They realize that truly it is a joy divine to Lean Upon The Everlasting Arm. Our B. Y. P. U., is a real live organization. Come and help us. OTHER MATTERS The funeral services of Mr. Henry Walker who died the tenth inst., were at the New Baptist Church December thirteenth at 2.00 p.m. Rev. B. I. Marchant officiating.

We have asked the Lord to give us the one that pleased Him. It is our pleasure to inform the public that, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Rev. B. L. Marchant of Chillicothe, Ohio, was extended a call to the pastorate of the New Hope Baptist Church and has accepted the call. May he be a blessing to church, community and the world.
