Vol.15, No.49. CONFERENCE ON RACE RELATIONS A SUCCESS As an apple tree or any other thing on earth, has its season put forth in a tangible way the result for a season of struggling, gathering the best from the soil, air, rain and sun making ready for harvest of their best; so it is with a man every season ripens his vision in a tangible evidence that is openly demonstrated and undeniable. Moses' seasons were 40 years each and Christ's was 12, 18 and 3. Our Secretary's (Capt. W. L. Hutchinson) season is two years, having such fine fellowship and support from the best people of Wichita of both races, so February 18, 1924, marked the fruit of his gathering of friends, workers, sympathizers and boosters for the GOOD WILL of this COMMUNITY in a Race Relation Conference, where he could tangibly see the results of his labor. Anyone can see the influence the Water Street Branch is having on the best of both races. Giving his best to the things that are best made it possible to get the best; and we were able to sit in this conference with two ripe scholars in social work in the person of Drs. Geo. W. Haynes and F. O. Nichols, whose speeches were sound, logical and democratic in scope; and will cure the ills of America, if applied as directed. We admired the magnanimous spirit of Dis. Sanderson, Smith, MaGee, Mendenhall (sick) Mr. Hide, the wo men of both races and those who ex changed pulpits last Sunday that their people might get the message of love and brotherly care for each other. In fact we can't see how Wichita could be the same after the best people in the city have laid their hearts on, the Altar of Almighty God and pledged to work in harmony that this city will be a city of peace and Good Will. Dr. Geo. W. Haynes of New York, spoke at New Hope at 11:00 o'clock, Dr. F. O. Nichols spoke at Calvary. The first Open Meeting was at The First Baptist Church, Sunday afternoon with Dr. Ross W. Sarderson presiding. Capt. W. L. Hutcherson, Drs. Haynes and Nichols were the speakers of the occasion. The impressions were made and numbers in creased. The Open Forums began Monday morning at 10:00 o'clock at the First M. E Church; at 1:30 Calvary Baptist and St. Paul A. M. E. Church at 8:00. These meetings were well attended and issues of vital importance to both races were frankly discussed in the most satisfactory manner and recommendations for future betterment were offered. From this meeting, we should be able to tell whether Wichita, is moving on toward God and His righteousness or going to the devil and prejudice and discord. We should at least get our bearing, and, see the fruits of the struggles of those whose hearts are right. SOUTH CENTRAL, ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. February 20, 1924.

I have not visited all of the places in the State that I intended to visit while I am home on a furlough, but since my many friends would like to know of my whereabouts, I am writing a very short sketch of my trip in the State. First of all, I wish you all a Happy and prosperous New Year, and may we leave no stone unturned in extending the Kingdom of Jesus Christ at home and abroad. The mission field, both home and foreign, calls for the very best qualified men and women of the denomination. This is not the time when any misfit can be picked up and sent to the field, for many perplexing problems are to be found on the mission field. There was a time when missionaries were sent to the field with their hymn books and Bibles, but that time is past. No carpenter can build a house without tools so the missionaries must be well equipped to do their best work. Allow me to say at the outset that no mention will be made of the amount of money given, because I see the very excellent plan our recently elected Supt., of Missions, Rev. A. W. Ross has and we have an agreement that all money that I collect in the State will be sent at once to him and he will pay it out so that at the end of the year you will know the amount of money given me by the State. This is business like and I think that it is time that we put more business in our religion, and more religion in our business. The success of my trip home must not be measured alone by the amount of money collected while I am home on ffurlough, but also by the number of persons whom I shall interest in mission both at home and abroad; I am always glad to, give the right information, because information brings inspiration. At the close of our State Convention in Kansas City, I spoke at Rev. McNeal's church, and although the weather was very inclement, but there was a very good crowd cut; both Rev. East and Graham were present. I next spoke at K. I. E. I., through the invitation extended me by Prof. Bridg forth. There were a number of the delegates from the Convention present, also other friends and the student, body. It was a large and appreciative audience. I tried to lay it upon, the hearts of our young people that they are needed to render service for the Master. Great credit is due Prof. E. L. Burke for the appeal he made for Afrika and his manner of taking up the collection. He set a high water mark for a student body, and then he helped them reach it. I next visited Rev. Williams' church in Hiawatha; the crowd was small but they seemed interested, and I am glad when I can accuse an interest. I spoke at Hiawatha on Sunday morning, and at night for Rev. Cartwright, Ebenquer Church, Atchison. I had quite an enjoyable meeting with Rev. Cartwright and members. They have a fine church and B. Y. P. U. He has done a great work since he has been in Atchison. I was surprised when I visited Rev. Kyle's church in Bonner Springs. I formerly taught school there, but the church did not look as it does now. I did not know the church and I asked if they had built a new church, but they said; they had only repaired the old one; Rev. Kyle and congregation are to be commended for the work they have done. I had two very splendid meetings with Rev. W. F. Beatty of Mt. Zion, Ft. Scott and Rev. Smith of Shilsh; each of the churches had a full house, and the interest was high Mt. Zion. Church is the first one to start Santa Claus to walking for me. The sisters of the mission circle had just finished, quilting a nice quilt, and I, lilled it so well until the sisters gave it to me. I have just received recently a very fine fountain pen from Rev. Beatty. Smoky Hill Board.Meeting in Dunlap. Nov. 7, 8, 9, was a success in every way; it was very largely attended, and, was spiritual, and harmonious. (Tr Be Continued in Next Issue). M. H. Prints;Anything Prices Reasonable Work:Done As Good As The Best. 1241 Wabash Avenue WICHITA, KANSAS Phone M. 3130 FROM EBENEZER BAPT. CHURCH Of Recommendations To— REV. W. C. CARTWRIGHT ATCHISON, KANSAS, Jan. 22, 24 The Rev. W. C. Cartwright accepted the pastorate of the Ebenezer Baptist Church of Atchinson, Kansas, 5 years ago. He came to us from Parsons, Kansas. At the time he took charges of the church, the conditions were not so favorable. The interior was complete; a heavy indebtedness of $24,000 overshadowed the church and the membership very much divided. Seeing the conditions, he set to work at once to organize his forces and bring the church up again to the standard as in former days. He made friends among the members and succeeded in getting them to see that their first duty was to Christ and His Church. Many who were indifferent to the prosperity of the church, revered their covenant, and became regular contributors to the support of the church, both spiritually and financially. Today Ebenezer has a good credit; the interior is complete; the indebtedness is small; and his membership consists largely of the most progressive citizens of Atchinson. She stands out prominently as one of the best trained churches among the Baptists. Rev. Cartwright has dealt impartially with his members, and has been strictly honest in all financial matters. He is a man of good moral habits and is found in the Doctrine, "One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism." He is an uncompromising Baptist; well educated, and fully capable of presiding over a church. He possesses some remarkable characteristics that are worthy of emulation by the most skeptic. The Junior and Senior Missions have received special training from him during his administration in Bible study. The large class of boys and girls in the B. Y. P. U. can point with pride to the instructions received from him, in the Bible and in "What Baptist, Believe." We doubt very much if there is a larger attendance in this department of church activity throughout the state on the part of the young people than is being witnessed at Ebernezer, according to her numerical strength. Rey. Cartwright has not confined his time to the church alone, but has been a valuable asset to the community and its affairs. Many persons have been benefitted through personal contact with him, in that they have been inspired to the higher and nobler purposes of life. Again, he has been a benefactor to other pulpits as well for he has conducted some very successful revivals in Kansas, and other States as well. The last one being in Mexico, Mo., in which there were 33, additions to the church. He has succeeded admirably among us and is leaving of his own will and accord Under his leadership the church has raised $26,042.75; additions over 100. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Dear Brethren: We commend the Rev, Wade Clifton Cartwright to you as a minister of the Gospel, efficient in Kingdom Work, zealous, magnanimous, and forgiving in spirit, affable in manner, and the possessor of a kind heart. Easily approached, and well prepared to preside over any church. 2nd. We commend him to you as a Christian brother, having joined our church after his installation. He has lived an exemplary life in our midst, and as far as we know is in fellowship with the communicants; he is a man with a vission, and if given the proper support will contribute largely his share to the evangelization of the world. 3rd. We commend him to you as a student of the Word of God, fully able to defend the New Testament Church, anywhere, and upon any and all occasions. We, the EBENEZER BAPTIST CHURCH IN SESSION ASSEMBLED, IN THE CITY OF ATCHISON, STATE OF KANSAS, this 22nd day of January, 1924, do hereby pray God's blessings to able, with him and family wherever they go. Yours For Evangelization. Written by Mgr. Wm. Smothery. Adopted by the Church, Jan. 22, 1924 THE BOARD MEETING A SUCCESS THE BOARD MEETING A SUCCESS The closing talk and sermon were delivered with power by Dr. Ross. This great meeting opened with Rev G. C. Harris presiding and a very instructive Bible Institute conducted by Rev. J. R. Roman. Everyone enjoyed the Gospel Message by Rev. N. J. Stokes. Prof. H. I. Monroe made a wonderful address and left his impression. The Southwest Board passed into history one of the most constructive meetings in its history, Feb. 14-15 at Newton, Kans. These people took care of the body and left us free to think and act for the Master's Kingdom. Amid many praises for the loyalty of Rev. O. Ware and his people, the following people played well their part: With Mrs. Carrie Anderson, presiding, the B. Y. P. U., held a very inspiring session. Rev. M. S. Jones made the inspirational Address. The Symposium, "Organization:" was discussed from three angles (a) Duty of Officers, Mrs. I. F. Bates; (b) How to Function Harmoniously, Miss Geneva Mercores; (c) Result of Co-operation and Organization, Mr. H. T. Sims. Rev. J. W. Johnson of Dodge City. The Woman's Home and Foreign Mission was presided over by Mrs. I. F. Bates. This session was thoughtfully carried out with a Symposium, "Mission the Prime Objective of the Church." (a) Our Great Privilege, by Rev. Adair, Wichita; (b) Our Obligations, Rev. M. S. Jones, District Missionary; (c) The Duty of the Whole Church, Rev. O. Ware, Newton, Rev. A. W. Ross put the finishing touch on the discussion. A powerful sermon was preached by Moderator Hayes. Friday morning, Mrs. Mae W. Buckner presided over the Sunday School department and we enjoyed a General Theme: "Organization for Religious Education" from 3 points: 1. Plans for Conducting a Cradle Roll, Mrs. Mattle Copeland. 2. Plans for Conducting a Home Department, Rev. Crutchfield. In the place of the third one we listened to some instructive words from Prof. H. I. Monroe, State President of the Sunday School Convention. A great sermon was delivered by Rev. Felton Leach, Winfield. The afternoon session was the Association proper and much business was transacted with Rev. J. W. Hayes, presiding. The sermon by Rev. S. A. Williams was interesting: "The Grasa Hopping Christian." The State Executive Secretary, Rev. A. W. Ross laid his mission plans on the hearts of the audience. St. Mattinews, C. M. E. Corner of 11th and Mosley. REV. C. F. COLLINS, Pastor; The Sunday School was fine and a large number present. The lesson was made clear by a review by the pastor. The school gladly welcomed Kev. W. A. Bosworth. He made a brief talk on the lesson, stating that the lesson came in just right for the discussion of the day. He also said that Abraham Lincoln was our Joshua that took us out of bondage. 11:30, Rev. Bosworth spoke heartfelt words to the waiting congregation; subject: "Out of one blood God created all men." 630, the Epworth League was involved by all. 8:50, the pastor, Rev. C. F. Collins spoke from Joshua 10:12; theme: "Joshua's Faith in God." He deliv- ed the message with ease. I am sure each one present was benefitted from this excellent sermon. The entire Church sympathizes with Rev. Minters and family in the loss of his dear wife. We can only point them to God; who doeth all things well. Rev. A. O. Jackson is confined to bed. Glad to report others improved. You are always welcome in our ser- vices. COLLINS' NEW THOUGHT WEATHER BUREAU FORECAST For Wichita and Victinity From March 1st to 7th: Unsettled. Shifting winds, light snow probably. C. F. Collins, Astro S Walsen, Colorado News. NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. C. R. Bruster, Pastor. Sunday was regular pastoral day, but on account of the death of the pastor's brother, he could not be with us. It did not come as a shock as we were told before that his condition was of such. It was heaven's gain, and we bow in humble submission to the workings of the All Wise, for He knows best. Sunday School at 9:45, good attendance. At six o'clock, good prayer service; also B. Y. P. U. Afterwhich Rev. Lawrence preached for us from the subject: "And I if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me;" and he preached a good sermon to a goodly congregation. Deacon Vaughn and two of his girls went to the ranch, it rained, not having on their chains the car slipped into a ditch; Miss Jenola got out to try to help push, to no results, her hands were frozen, they had to camp all night with friends. Miss Jenola's feet were also swollen. She is better at this writing. Sorry to note that Mr. Lewis, who is in the hospital, is not doing so well. Bro. W. R. Thompson and Mrs. Hattle Horne are getting along nicely and look for them home, soon. Mr. Betts who has been sick for several days, is somewhat improved under the watchful care of his never tiring, ever faithful wife. Mrs. Hattie Lawrence from Denver, made her father's heart glad by, coming to see him. We were glad to have her in our midst, though her stay was short. Mrs. W. A. Matthews made a flying trip to Pueblo, last Saturday on business. Mrs. Kemp of Pueblo, is visiting friends here, this week. We have started on the foundation of our new church; the brethren, worked all day last Saturday and made a good showing; they hope to finish the next day they work. They are working on it the days they don't work so that it will not cost us very much by doing all we can ourselves. Mrs. J. A. Merriweather has gone to her home in Texas, to see her sister Mr. J. C. Britt who sojourned with us a while and joined our church, has gone to New York, and from there he will sail for England. He is an inventor and goes on business. He is a great young man; has several patients. His mother and father must be proud of him—Solomon, says, a wise son maketh a glad father. It is with sadness that, we note the death of Miss Wilson, whom to know was to love; she passed away Saturday at 9:00 a.m. She was sick only, a few days; some of us did not know that she was sick, such a shock. She oftimes visited our church, with Deacon Vaughns' children and would take part in the programs; she recited for our Xma Program: "What Is That Mother Is: Cooking That Ennells Es Good;" that made us all laugh so. She was the flower of the home and the only girl of three children We weep with Bro. and Sister Wilson in their sorrow. Bro. and Sister Wilson wish to thank the many friends for kindness rendered in the hours of their grief; also for the beautiful flowers given. She was laid to rest at 3 o'clock Sunday. I have race pride, don't forget the King Tut Cafe and Grocery, cemblen'ed; first, class goods and will delituf anywhere in town. Give him a trial. The Sunday School, Bi. Y. P. U.

R. A. CARTWRIGHT, , Pastor. Sunday School opencd at 9:30 by the assistant superintendent, Bro, A. Miles. The school took twenty min- utes for lesson study, we assembled again and were reviewed by the pas: tor—“The Conquest of Joshua.” He brought out some very beautiful il- lustrations about the character of Joshua and put emphasis upon the school, that cach and every one should become typical of Joshua, have cour- age and press on. The District Mis- sionary, Rev, J. D. Hunt was present and the school was well pleased with his timely remarks. Sunday morning services, devotion Jed by Bro, A, Miles; Scripture, 16th chapter of Matt, 1-17 verses, read by Rev. J. D. Hunt. Sermon by the pas- tor; text, Matt. 16:18. Subject of text: “I Will Build My Church Upon This Rock.” We were given a thor- ough review of what the church is, what it is supposed to do, and what it is composed of, We were helped and inspired, because this is one of the most important subjects in the Bible, because, we as Christians should know what we are and from what tinh the church came into existence. The pas- tor also told about the short comings we have toward the church and if we fail to do our duty here on earth we will not be rewarded fram on high. Evening Services, devotional led by Bro, A. Miles; Scripture read by Bro, J. D. Hunt, John 4th chapter; sermon preached by Rev, Muller; ‘text: John, 4:29; subject: “Come and See a Man.” Rev. Miller atirred the congregation to its utmost. He gave a special plea for the sinners who are lost In sin and overwhelmed by the turmoils of this world, to ‘come and see a man!’ He further said that it did not take time nor money to come into the Ark and be saved, but surrender all to God and be benefitted as the Samaritan woman was, Invitation war extended for sinners to come for prayer; one came. The ministers were introduced by the pastor ana invited to come again. ‘The Young People’s Prayer Meet- ing was well attended Friday might, Feb. 15, this meeting is one of the most es:ential functions of the church that young people may get a fortaste of the responsibility of conducting a meeting.

He put stress on how we aa a race will not stick close together, and how we will finance the works of the white man, and let the talented poople of our race fall for the Jack of finance, He said, conditions will never be any better until we wake up to the senie of our duty and help the black man to progress, Sister Flowers was reported quite pertously ill, ( ‘A Mass Meeting was called by the colored business men of this town in order to better the conditions of the “Black Man,” This meeting is to be’ held on the 19th, | The Willing Workers gave a Valen- tine Social Thursday night, Feb, 14th.
