STANDARD LIFE PREMIER INSURANCE COMPANY OF RACE (Preston News Service) ATLANTA, GA., Mar. 13—The Insurance' Department of the State of Georgia has just approved the annual report of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta. This statement indicates that Standard Life is still premier life insurance company in the world managed and controlled by Negro brains and capital. The gross assets of the company, it is revealed, amount to nearly three million dollars. The increase in assets for the one year 1923, alone, being more than a half million, of $652,571.31. The report also indicates that Stand ard Life has the largest surplus of any Negro life insurance company in America, and that the increase in its income is more than half million dollars. The total insurance in force at the close of 1923 was nearly thirty million dollars, representing an increase for the year of nearly six million dollars. These are staggering figures when it is kept in mind that the Standard Life Insurance Company is but ten years old. The annual statement shows 1923 was the best year in the history of the conpany.

Dean of the Evening School, Houdy Bible Institute of Chicago) 108 W. Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for March 23 THE REIGN OF SOLOMON LESSON TEXT-II Chron. 1.7-12; I Kings 11 6-11. GOLDEN TEXT—The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.—I rev. 1.7. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Young King's Dream JUNIOR TOPIC—Bolomona's Choice. INTERNMLDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC JULIAN FOLK IOUNO I PLOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Lessons From Solomon's Reign. Here again we must go outside of the particular text assigned and make a survey of Solomon's reign. I. Solomon Anointed King (I Kings 1:5-10). David had heretofore failed to show the people who should be king after film (v. 20). Through the combined appeals of Bathsheba and Nathan, he is now stirred to action. He immediately sent for the faithful three, Zadok, Nathan and Benalah, and bade them to anoint Solomon king. They speedily executed their commission, and soon the people shouted, "God save King Solomon." II. Solomon's Wise Choice (II Chron. 1:7-12). 1. God's Gracious Offer (v. 7). This offer followed Solomon's lavish sacrifice to the Lord. God said, "Ask what I shall give thee," thus placing very wide possibilities before the king, God, as it were, signed blank checks and turned them over to Solomon to fill in any amount that his heart desired. This offer to Solomon was no exceptional one, for opportunities equally limitless are placed before us. God is saying to every one of His children, "Ask, and it shall be given you." (John 13:7). 2. Solomon's Wise Choice (vv. 8-19). The Lord's gracious offer brought the king face to face with the responsibility of making his choice. Solomon did not ask for wisdom for vain display, but for the good of others. He desired inward worth, not outward show. In this choice, he asked for two particular things: (1) That God's promise to his father, David, might be established. (2) That wisdom would be given to him to perform his duties. 3 God's Unstinted Gift to Solomon (v. 11), Solomon's petition pleased the Lord. Because he put wisdom first God saw that he could be trusted with material goods also. II. The Glory of Solomon's Reign. III. The Glory of Solomon's Reign. 1. His Intensive Kingdom (1 Kings 4:21 25). He ruled over the kingdoms from the Euphrates river to the Mediterr- anean sea, except the Phoenicians, and they were in alliance with him. 2. His Great Wisdom (1 Kings 4:20 31). It execlled that of the Chaldeans, Persians and Egyptians. He had a singularly comprehensive mind. He was: (1) A moral philosopher. He spake three thousands and proverbs. (2) A poet. His songs were one thousand five. (3) A botanist. He spake of trees from the cedar tree, which was in Leba- anon, even unto the hyssop. (4) A rooologist. He spake of beasts and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes. 3. The Temple (I Kings 5-6). This was an exact reproduction of the tabernacle, double in size, executed in marble and gold. The amount of labor, skill and money expended on the building was exceedingly great (I Chron. 22:14 16). 4. Ils Royal Palaces Adjoining the Temple (I Kings 7). He was neatly twice as long in building those as in building the Lord's house. 5. Ils Commerce (I Kings 9,20 28, Compare II (Chron 9 and 10,21). His trading ships went east as far as the Indian ocean, perhaps even to India; and west as far as Spain. 6. Ils Army and Navy (I Kings 10:20-29). This was for more than display. He put his nation into a state of pureness. This greatness was associated with the name of the Lord. It was known that his fame was due to his relation with the living God. IV. Solomon's Failure (I Kings 11:612). Because Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, the Lord was angry with him and assured him that the kingdom would be sent from him and given to his servant. However, for the sake of David, he would not bring this humiliation upon Solomon while he lived. Solomon's chief offenses were alliances with foreign powers through marrying kings' daughters. This compromise weakened his moral nature and he soon followed his wives in the worship of false gods. The Real Source. A great part of human suffering has its root in the nature of man—Lowell.

Greeb, Chairman of the deacon board and deacon N. E. Wigty, Secretary, had full charge of the services. The Pastor selected as text Sunday morning, 1st Sam, 7:3; theme: "Heartfelt Religion."

Clarkston our Local Minister, preaching both morning and night. A goodly number were present at both services. Rev. Clarkston is one of our local ministers of the city who is acting in a pastor's capacity until the church sees fit to call a pastor. Thru his help and guidance the church is progressing nicely. Large congregations are seen in the pews each Sunday, both morning and evening. The church club is busy at work, giving different entertainments, striving to lift the remaining indebtedness from church property. The public is cordially invited to attend the church services and take part in the club work. Mr. Frank Massey of 4th Ave. has been seriously ill for a few weeks is much improved at this time. Mrs. Suzie Henderson, proprietress of the Perfection Pie and Cake Shop, 3rd and Shawnee St., is a patient in the St. John Hospital for her throat. People in Leavenworth are worrying about the Kluxs; it is useless worry. Let them alone, worry about your own troubles, and you have plenty of those. The main thing that the colored people in this town must do and right away, and that is get together and stick to-gether. If you do that then you will have no time to let the Ku Klux Klan worry you, nothing but right will prevail, whether it be Klan or Kan. Is not that so. See Ernest F.

WITH the Republican State Con. "The Laborer is worthy of his hire." vention at Topoka, now a matter of history it certainly cannot be regarded as "Les Majesty," for a candid expression of regret that it was apparently not deemed the best policy to elect a member of the colored group of Republican voters of Kansas as a Delegate at Large to the National Republican Convention to be held in Cleveland, in June. The Negro voters in Kansas, have for decades proven themselves to be absolutely loyal in their adherence to the Republican Party and have merited something better than mere expressions contained in annual and semilennial party platforms. Within the bounds of the state can be found any number of able colored political leaders who could with credit appean in Cleveland as representatives of their group which may if properly organized prove to be the balance of power in the approaching election. The time has long since become an client history when even leaders of the C. O. P., have any part, also right to regard the Negro Vote as a certainty. "It has long ago been and that, LOCALS COMING!

We had a good Sunday School Sunday and also good church services. Rev. Martin preached a wonderful termon at eleven o'clock. It was the Fourth Article of Faith, subject, "Pur pose of Grace." Sunday night, we had covenant meeting. What a glorious meeting we had. Everyone seemed to be filled full and running over with the Holy Spirit. After everyone had testified we partook of the Lord's Supper. Six more sacks of cement have been donated. Twelve more are needed. The committee think they have them in sight. Rev. Tyler, presiding elder of the C. M. E. Church was in town Wednesday between trains, calling on members. "The Labercer is worthy of his hire," and since the Negro voters of Kansas have by their yorks for the party in years of stirring political battle proven their worth it must appear that they have earned the ordinary reward of a place on the 'BIG SEVEN.' A lamentable mistake has been made by the powers that dictated policies in the State Convention. The Negro voter of this campaign will be alive to every interest involving the ability, worth and consideration of his race and naturally may resent any depreciation of that ability, worth and consideration to which he feels due because of life long party loyalty and support. Political forces must begin to realize that the Old Uncle Tom type of Negro voters is no more but in its place is to be found a live wide awake type of political leadership craving for the race individually and collectively that degree of political consideration at the hands of the party in keeping with the tangible assets of support which they have to proffer. The Negro is craving other recognition than that of second place tank in the affairs of the party. G. W. Turner, Jr., who has been seriously ill at the home of his parents is rapidly recovering so much so his aunts were able to return home the first of the week.

Will you do your state the favor to publish this in remembrance of our great Congress. Kindly ask all from this section of the state to send in their names to me that special transportation accommodations may be arranged in time. Knowing your deep interest in this and all similar organizations which has to do with the best development of a race I am sure you will do your part.

The discussion was very interesting and was won by the affirmative. The total contribution for Sunday at Brown Charel A. M. E. Church Sunday was One Hundred Three and Ninty-four Cents. The Church is in creasing in membership and is making wonderful headway and advancement under the new administration. Many things are being accomplished. The New Hope Baptist Church and its auxiliaries presented quite an elaborate program on February 17th to 22nd last celebrating the first anniversary of its present pastor, Rev. A. L. Gardner. The rendition of the program was not only interesting and entertaining, but was educative, inspiring and constructive in the superlative degree. Summaries of the year's work of each of the auxiliaries disclosed the fact that there has been such a marked advance over previous years under Rev. A. L. Gardner's administration as to make any Church in Southeastern district envious of New Hope's progress. The two feature nights were those devoted to the senior choir and the Church proper. The senior choir presented a farce comedy that could only be equaled on the legitimate stage and the Men's chorus was a scream. The night designated for the program of the Church proper revealed some of the most commendable and startling facts in the history of the Church, some of which were the addition of one hundred members to the Church for one year's work; a mark never before made in the history of the Church. Increased attendance in all departments raised from about 40 to 97 per cent. Increased financial vigor, placing New Hope second to none in the State, a complete rejuvenation of spiritual strength. It is not believed there is a minister to be found anywhere of greater executive ability and a better Christian than Rev. A. L. Gardner, taking the Church as he did when it was at its lowest ebb, and in the face of very adverse circumstances and conditions, has placed New Hope well up in the list of recognized progressive churches. Much of the success of the musical part of the program is due to the tireless and unceasing efforts of Mrs. C. M. Smothers, who directed the Men's Chorus and made their part of the program the wow that it was. New Hope is making fast towards her goal, and is demanding recognition from everywhere. Rev. Gardner cannot be too well commended on his wonderful executive ability. The Douglass Parent Teachers Association net at the Douglass Building Monday evening. The meeting was enjoyed by all since the program consisted of classes of regular school work, conducted by the teachers. The first class was one in calistenries in the third grade. A third grade boy gave the commands and got the desired responses. Afterwards a folk game was played by the little folks which was very interesting. This was followed by a very pleasing solo from Miss Faster. The class in primary reading, conducting by Miss Brasadus was one which closely drew the attention of the audience. The little folks were wide awake and a lively conversation followed the reading of the lesson. Miss Brasadus is developing her little people well. Miss Muriel Neal then rendered a very beautiful instrumental solo. The Dusde Booker of the fifth grade read: "The House by the Side of Road," taken from one of the lessons in fifth grade reading. Miss S. E. Walker gave a demon station of a second grade class in piano. Leroy Cokeran, Lussey Williams, Kenneth Strother, and Gwendon Lyn Bradley as members of the class rendered selections, which the patrons found almost above criticism. Mrs. Walker is developing some wonderful musical scholars, and cannot be commended too highly on her work. The last number on program was a male quartette, consisting of Clarence Fisher, Alfern Geaty, Marcus Lane, and Orlando Banks. They sang two selections which were highly appreciated. Miss Geary is untiring in her efforts to make this quartette one of the best. She is very capable, and will develop something to be proud of in the near future. After the program the principal, A. E. Clark made a short talk, and the meeting adjourn ACORN - S E E 41 years in Wichita h Our Seeds are grown We have a co Flower Seeds, Asparagus, Onion Sets, Black Eyed Peas Cannas, INCUBATORS - BROODERS Buttermilk Starter will keep healthy.
