LIVINGSTON, 1755 Ohio Ave Phone D. 3146W Some people hold places for honor, some hold places for money, but after carefully reading the Annual Report of Capt. W. L. Hutcherson of the Water Street Y. M. C. A., we must confess that he works for the good he can do, because his work far exceeds his pay. His efficiency would put him in the professional class which would mean professional pay, but he doesn't want you to think of the pay; he wants you to see how much you can be used to help him put over the program, and if this community can be made conscious of magnitude and the drastic need of the work, then all will be benefitted. In this report you can see he sets his mark and then drives toward it. No one could read his report without coming to the conclusion that he knows more about the Y. M. C. A, work than time money or conveniences will permit him to do. It shows that he has touched the boy life of this city and made them believe in themselves and the most-blessed thing of it all 16 boys have been made to believe in Christ; sixteen boys can save sixteen worlds; if they are made to put their whole trust in Jesus, so it will take God to tell how much good he has done along his line. The business side came up very near par, but the report simply slowed that we did not do our part and the community still has not caught the vision of the work. You can see that he believes in the fourfold development and he will make you know your own boy if you will let him have your support and your boy. Calvary Baptist Church REV. J. W. HAYES. Pastor Northwest Corner Elm and Water "Truth and Love" was the subject of the message delivered on last Sunday Morning by our pastor; found in the 5th chapter of Ephians. A divinely-inspired message was delivered in such a forceful marner, yet such simple language that even the smallest child present could understand the message. The foundation of our love to each other is first to know the truth. The truth must be known before it can be taught. We are urged to not only know the truth but to speak the truth in love. Truth and love are so closely related to each other that each is necessary to the other. The language of love is easily understood. Every Christian can reach every other Christian if approached in language of love. We should know the truth and have no fear of speaking the truth. A strong and wonderful message on truth and love, so beautifully illustrated that we were all thankful for the privilege of listening to God's ambassador, urging the Christians to be led by love and truth; to do the things that God would have us do. The Sunday School at 9:30 a.m., was largely attended. The goal set for the Men's Bible Class is 100 men in Sunday School each Sunday morning. One hour men were being enlisted on last Sunday, those who would give at least one hour a week to the Bible. At 6 o'clock the Senior and Junior B. Y. P. U., met in their regular assembly rooms. These meetings are open to visitors at all times. Come out and spend a while with us on Sunday evening in the B. Y. P. U. Much Interest and enthusiasm is manifested each Sunday evening. The Mission Group still wears badges for attendance, while the Social group wear the badges for finance. The evening message was delivered from Acts 2:38: "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ." A strong Doctrinal sermon on baptism. At the close of the message, we had baptizing. MAN! MAN!

Yours for Kingdom building, drop business cares when the Harvey Minstrels parade through the principal streets, of our town on Wednesday, Feb. 20—Matinee and night. The coming of the show will be an occasion of undiluted joy. The hand, a trappy outfit, will make a noon parade, and you are going to hear the jazziest trombone snorters and saxaphone moaners in capnivity; added to this gay occasion, let be known that Lawrence Parker, the peer of all band leaders, will be right theres with his wonderful lot of brand new tunes. Creoles too—Man, Man! that octoorn chorus of "High Yellow." Not "High Yaller." This is 1924, and the amenities of diction are observed. To characterize a young woman as a "High Yellow" is, the essence of courtiness. Such a characterization may be applied generally to the ladies of the Harvey Minstrel chorus—an incredibly energetic band, who sing well and dance like demons. The wonderful drill team and dancing soxtet; the chocolate coloured girls that so marvelous coon-shouting; the neat little Hazel Cannon, a sure-rough clog dancer; and that humorous dusky diva who smacks high C on the nose and makes you wonder howcome; why, Man, the girls are a whole show in themselves. Sticking out for distinct merit is Johnny Woods, an obese humorist ventriloquist, with an neat an act as there is on the road; James Crosby, who only needs a few more lines to be a tall-talking wender; Margaret the modern black Pattil with her top note sopranos, Edwards, a contortion and dare-devil on the slack wire; Whitney Viney, a great interlocutor, are only a few of the features to be observed when Harvey brings his minstrel band to town. The show closes with the Afro-American "Follies." It is high spirited frolic of syncopated song and dance, with an occasional episode of sidewalk conversation, and it gives a copious exhibition of the range of talents which finds Harvey's Greater Minstrels in their happiest manner. With the Harvey Greater Minstrels are associated some fifty people, all constituting the very cream of the Negro profession, and after all the Negro is the natural musician and minstrel of the human race and during the engagement here they will spring some more of their pleasing surprises. See this Great Harvey Company at CRAWFORD THEATRE. EVENING MEETING FOR MEN AND BOYS Calvary Baptist Church at 3:00 o'clock, proved to be a great evening for the men and boys with Master Garrett, acting as master of ceremony; James Taylor conducted the song service with credit and Edward Johnson offered, the prayer. Then James Taylor introduced Mr. Clyde Hartford of Pittsburg, Kans., who meant so much to the boys of Kansas. He has made it possible for the Negro boys of Kansas to prove their worth and they have a warm spot in their hearts and with delight they expressed it in the introduction through James. Mr. Hartford began his speech with legend: "Cross at The Cross Road." Where Jesus spoke from the Cross and asked the future of three little children: the girl said, she wanted to be a mother and rear a great family; one of the boys wanted to have plenty of wealth and fame and the other wanted to do deeds of kindness here and there that humanity might be blessed. They went forth and grew and wrought well in their life's desire and when old they met the same Jesus again, who commended them all, but to the latter, gave the eternal reward and double blessing. He pictured Old Camp Woods as the Cross at the Cross Road as many boys are declaring their life's work there and Jesus is put in charge of their lives. He took his subject from a picture of a boy, who climbed the mountain and saw the things from a height: "His New Day." He discussed it from these points:— 1—See the need; 2—See What is Within Us to Supply the Need; 3—Look Up and Let Jesus Christ have His Way. Sixteen made decision for their life work. It was a great day. Newton. Notes. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH The Sunday School at 9:30 was conducted by Mr. P. M. Merideth, Superintendent. The exceptionally beautiful lesson was harmoniously taught by all teachers. The superintendent conducted an interesting blackboard review. The morning sermon, "Reconciliation Through Jesus Christ," text, Colossians I. 21, was a masterpiece. "In order that there is a need for reconciliation," the pastor said, "there must first be an estrangement." "The cause of this estrangement, between God and man was wicked works, the seat, a wicked mind," he continued. Then he outlined the result, alienation and hostility. A reconciliation was then necessary between God ard man, between man and man, between man and his conscience and between man ard his duty. His climatic outline showed how Jesus Christ brought about this reconciliation. The B. Y. P. U., at 6.00 p.m., was led by the President assisted by the Vice President. All young people are urged to attend the District Board meeting in order that they might be inspired by its vision. A special service for next Sunday was planned. The Vice President deserves special credit and praise for the spirit in which he magnifies his office. This young man, Mr. Jevale L. Dickinson is highly esteemed in the church and community. The evening sermon dealt with the race problem. The text was "Through thy seed shall all nations be blest." The Central thought was that the acceptance of the principles of Jesus Christ can, alone, ultimately solve the race problem. Rev. Ware and his members are making enthusiastic preparations, for the District Board Meeting this week. Among our sick members are Mrs. F. Perry and Deacon Charles Faulkner. Keep of the date of our program—Be present. Hear the out-of-town talent on this program as well as at-home. Rev. O. B. Ware, Pastor, Mr. P. M. Meridith, S. S. Supt. Geneva Mercomer, B. Y. P. U. Pres. Mrs. Jno. Jackson, Pres. Mission C. MR TRUMAN REED A CHAMPION FOR RIGHT Last Sunday night, harmony and love met in the Fairmount Congregational Church, where the Calvary Quartet sang; Prof. Truman Reed spoke and a congregation of people devoted to righteousness, listened with interest. Rev. C. B. Wells, one who is possessor of one of the best spirits in the city, from Bible description of beet, and pastor of the church, presided. He and his congregation showed every sign of being in full sympathy with the wonderful course of reasoning of Prof. Reed from the subject: "My Neigbor—the Negro." His delivery was pleasing, his that's were sound and clear of the ring of prejudice, but deep and philosophical. He thinks America needs a new soul or conscience. He thinks it is an awful thing to be regarded a problem. He thinks white superiority is reasoned by the white race from the wrong angle and it can't be based on creed nor color. He named Germany, France, and many of the countries, who have had the same thought about themselves but are failing. He proved that the white race in America simply forged ahead more rapidly because they had the right of government organization in their hands, not that they are more superior than the darker race. He thinks God was fair and made all people equal. Then he gave government compiled figures to prove that the Negro in the South only received a very small per cent for the education and development of his children. He showed the Negro progress from 1865 when 98 per cent were illiterate and now only 33 per cent. He says it is the social environments that keep him inferior and not heredity; and if given equal opportunities will make great American citizens. When he wants to show all the qualities of man and wants equal opportunities as an American citizen, then the white man says: "We wants to marry my daughter; would you let a nigger marry your daughter? This is brought up at any occasion to stop the progress of the Negro or reflect on his moral standard. The quacks have taken advantage of the Negro being made disguised with his color on account of such accusations, and the hair straighteners and face bleachers have grown fat over their weakness to want to change. To prove the worth of the Negro he stated that one out of every four is living in his own home; all this accumulation since 1865. It is not a question as to where is the best school for what my child is best adapted, but where is the least prejudice. He gave several illustrations to prove that bad nurners are not a racial characteristic. He told how the American man labeled the richea a low down name or nickname and cast them aside: If you don't agree with his thoughts you are a 'Bolshevik; if you are Mexican he calls you a Greater, if you are Negro, he calls you a nigger, etc' Thus closed one of the most sane documents of fair play, based on thoughts of righteousness that it has been cursed to listen to in many years. The Calvary Quartet rendered two more numbers with the power of undescribable harmony. Seemingly, they wanted to prove in these songs that the quality was really in the race. The quartet consisted of Mendames Russell and N. B. Copeland, Messrs E. M. Darnes and Winfield Burks. St. Matthews C. M. E. Corner of 11th and Mosley. REV. C. F. COLLINS. Pastor With beautiful weather given us by the Father, many were present in Sunday School. Supt., and teachers in their places. Glad to enroll some of the elder members now.

Mosley passed from us to her final reward, this week. Mrs. E. P. Taylor is up after a few days of illness. Those who witnessed the play: The Red Onion Rural School enjoyed a treat; many have asked that it be repeated and it will be in the near future. St. Paul Notes. 8th and Water Streets. REV. R. L. POE, PASTOR "Religion In The Home," was the subject of an able sermon preached by Rev. R. L. Pope at the 11 a.m., services from 2nd King 20:10. He spoke of the home life. The greatness of a nation depends on the greatness of the home. That it is an important factor in setting the world for Christ and the great need of Christian homes. Our S. S., had a splendid attendance of a hundred and over. There was an interesting study of the Bible Lesson and a good financial report. We especially enjoyed having with us a visitor, Rev. Rannavalona, whose talk was an inspiration and an encouragement to us in our work. The Men's Bible Class No. 1, Rev. Pope, teacher, was the banner class. The A. C. E.

Wood's Memorial Hospital are: Mrs. Margret Brooks, Parson, medical; Mrs. Hattie Buckner, Coffeyville, surgical; Mrs. Sarah Garner, Parson, surgical; Mr. Viva Wisner Furgison, Wichita, Kansas, surgical; Mrs. Mary Harriston, Dallas, Texas, surgical; Baby Roselma Riden, Parsons, surgical; Mr. Jimmie Tomlin, Coffeyville, Kansas, medical; Mr. Joe Matthews, Navosota, Texas, medical; and Mr. John Fulcher, Sedalia, Mo., medical. A most remarkable operation was performed Wednesday at C. T. Woods' Memorial Hospital by Dr. H. T. Geeder, Wichita, Kansas, on Mrs. Viva Winner Furgison of that city. The operation was a very dangerous one which required great skill, and was successfully performed by Dr. Geeder, assisted by Dr. E. E. Bowser. Dr. Geeder is one of the pioneer colored surgeons in Kansas, having performed many operations in the Old City Hospital and Mt. Carmel Hospital in Pittsburg, Kansas, and also at the People's Hospital, Conkeyville, Kans. Dr. Geeder is a race man, believing in assisting in race enterprises. Although there are numbers of race patients accepting inferior treatment in white hospitals, Dr. Geeder is the first surgeon to bring a patient to the hospital for treatment, regardless of the fact that the staff is open to all race physicians and surgeons. Regardless to what we say, our own physicians and surgeons are superior for our own people to the others. Let us hope that the day is not far distant when all race physicians and surgeons in our neighborhood will not allow themselves to be trampled around in white hospitals, but will take their patients where they can get first class treatment and by their own; and also where doctors bringing patients can do whatever they are capable of doing. The girls' glee club of the Harry T. Burleigh Community Chorus has shown much progress for an organization so young. Much enthusiasm and interest are being shown by all of the girls.

Sunday School at 9:30, which is doing so nicely; under the leadership of Rev. Pratt, it has taken on new life. Rev. Pratt is a wide a wake Christian gentleman, looking after the interest of the Sunday Schools; he never sits idle while the lessons are being taught by the various teachers, but goes from class to class, seeing that the right instructions given and one never knows who is going to review the Sunday School for he gives all something to do. Last Sunday Miss Bernice Nevins of Oakley, Kansas, reviewed the school. She is a student attending the State Normal here, but she did not forget her home training, she united with the church, watch-care member and is also a teacher in the Sunday School; we cannot too highly compliment Miss Nevins. Rev. Reed read for Scripture Lesson, St. Mark 11th chapter; Rev. J. A. Barnes, pastor took for his text Matt. 18:1, 2; subject: "True Greatness." The Spirit of God was in the every word he said. At the close of the sermon one addition to the church. Evening services; B. Y. P. U_p, Sister C. Davison, Pres., Rev. Major Robinson, led the services. He held his subject; we will say for Mr. Robinson, if he diagnose his patients as he is thorough with the Bible, he will make a great doctor, as he is studying to be one. Mr. Robinson is a Christian gentleman. SPECIAL PRICES ON HOT WATER BOTTLES AND FOUNTAIN SYRINGES. YEAST POARM.

Mr. Rogers had just about lost his sight before he was confined to his bed. The Alsbic Club met on Tuesday at the home of Mrs. E. Wright. They enjoyed a nice luncheon at the close of the meeting. Next Tuesday afternoon they will meet with Mrs. C. I. Burnes on S. Washington. IN SMYPATHY Te friends of Captain and Mrs. W. L. Hutcherson, will be grieved to hear of the death of her mother, Mrs. Emma Waldon, Danville, Illinois, who suffered a paralytic stroke some weeks ago and where Mrs. Hutcherson has been since at the bedside. We sympathize with them in the loss of this one; so near and dear. The end came yesterday morning at 8:45. Mr. and Mrs. E. Reed were out to see us Tuesday and to see if we were still at work in the office. Mrs. Perkins and Mrs. Wm. S. Johnson spent quite a little while in the office Tuesday. This was Mrs. Perkins' first visit. Mr. B. C.

We appreciate his influence among his friends in recommending our work. He makes a real agent. Mrs. Sam Oliver entertained on Thursday with a luncheon, having as her honor guest, Mrs. W. E. Davis. The Valentine decorations were very beautiful carried out in the menu OUT of the experiences and touch with one's fellow kind day by day are born the inspirations which leadeth to a perfect day. To drink of the waters of admiring friendship and hear the sweet music of those who dwell within one's heart; then to view the angry passions and detect the jealous malice of deceit on the part of the forces that would crush. To speak in the dark of a silent closet with the world's master forces and be revived by fiery sparks of Divinity; Then to step cut and stand forth to do battle for right as it may be dictated by a fair mind and honest heart, can but give joy and be productive of that greater wisdom which leadeth thru the flood and flame on up to absolute perfection where the celestial fires of Infinite shall forever burn to light thru paths of knowledge sublime. AWAY with the man without enemies, upon whose brow the curse word of foes has not fallen tempering the soft music of friendly praise for such a man has followed the trail of flowery paths thru life and failed to dare the darkened road of pioneer endeavor and individual thought. Away with the man who makes boast of a combative manhood not touched by the dignifying influence of Christian Fellowship for such a man has yet to take up his eternal alotment as a Son of God. Away with the man who smiles not at the bursting beauty of an early morning sun or laughs with joy after the work of a heated day as he catches the inspiration of an eventide made sweet by the hallowed incense of homelife for such a man has failed to mark with the sterling manhood of a progressive age. Away with the man who cannot see the value of his fellowmen, and arrive at a proper estimate of their worth in the shifting events of society for such a man is out of harmony with the spirit of Brotherhood which is taking the present day world for Jesus Christ. Mrs. Minter suffered a paralytic stroke which carried her to her final resting place about the 5th day. She was a woman whose acquaintance one would be glad to make and we sympathize with her husband in this great loss. To the home cf Dr. and Mrs. G. G. Brown a baby boy. Mr. S.
