The music lovers of Wichita, turned out 100 per cent. The main auditorium was filled to its utmost capacity within one-half hour after the doors were opened and they listened with decided attention to every number played by the eminent violinist. Mr. White's very pleasing personality coupled with his wonderful interpretation and exquisite rendition held the audience spellbound, and they listened untrilingly and watched with intense interest, the masterly way the artist handled the bow. Mr. White is an artist of rare ability, and possesses unusual technique and accuracy. His crescendos and dimenundos are marvelous. His tones are rich and mellow. His arrangements of the Negro' Spirituals and his individual interpretation of them, was most touching. "He just makes that violin talk" said an aduator. It is hoped that Mr. White will always place Wichita, on his list when he comes West. Miss Marguerite Sardford who accompanied the artist, deserves very great praise. She has a natural ability for piano and organ, and plays with great ease and pleasantness. Her accompanying, and instrumental receptions were excellent and Wichita, is justly proud of her. She is very much interested in the new Conservatory plans and promises to give a benefit recital for the same when she comes to Wichita, agein. "Far and Near" and "From The Land of The Deep Blue Water" were sung very sweetly and expressively by Mrs Jessie Embry of the St. Paul's A.M. E Church. She has a very pleasing soprano voice and is unselfish with it, realizing it is "a loan" from The Almighty. Little Dorothy Yates represented the Conservatory by playing "Skating" by Krogman and for an encore "The Goblins" by Wright. She has a remarkable gift for music and at the age of ten years; she has ten instrumental selections at her memory's command. She has a record of all gold stars and one gold seal. Miss Sips who represents the Coleridge-Taylor Conservatory of music is very grateful to all who cooperated with her in making this recital such a deided success. The Conservatory hopes to present at least one Negro artist a year to the citizens of Wichita, in the years to come for such is the type of music, for which it stands. Mr. White very sincerely encourages the building of a Conservatory in this city, and said, "I's the finest and best thing that Wichita Musicians could do for the race." He spoke by helping in a material way later. He also urged that Miss Sims send her original compositions to be published as soon as possible. Miss Sims is open for suggestions from any interested person concerning this very vital project. Miss Myrtle Hurst said the highest number of tickets and won the prize, Mrs. N H. Copeland sold the 2nd highest. We are sincerely grateful to all who sold tickets. Reduced Rates To Sunday School and B. Y. P. U.

This Congress will be attended by an unusually large number of messengers and visitors from all sections of the country. E. W. D. 13AAC. Director. FEAR AND THE NEGRO By B H. NEELY Fear has proven itself the greatest enemy of the hegro of today: 1st. It keeps him or her from going through school and college and preparing for the battle of life whatever the calling or vocation may be thus we start out feeling we can't make it, and generally we are expecting; so on we stumble through life never feeling quite sure of what we could or should do to make life a success. 2nd. It keeps us from serving God in such away as to receive the blessings, the holds in store for those who fear Him and serve Him in spirit; and in truth thus we as a whole are religious failures. 3rd. It keeps us from having implicit faith that is essential for us to have in each other in order that we in return can receive the good that is in each other for each other. 4th Is keeping him right at present from producing anymore leaders for the fear that is in us; keeps us from co-operating with them thus they never succeed. No one ever succeeded alone, someone must help us. 5th. It has kept us from becoming killed workmen for we fear our opportunity after we have learned a trade. 6th. It keeps us from getting to wage, for we are afraid to ask for them, thus we work for less and we are the blame. 7th. It keeps us from starting in business for ourselves, thus we slave in to our dying day. 8th It keeps us from supporting the new business men, we have fear they won't treat us right, thus they struggle along on half what they should lightly have. 9th. It keeps us from accepting new opportunities that are daily presenting themselves for our general good. Did you ever think of the golden opportunities that were within our grasp and we feared and did not recieve the good that was intended for us? It is true that a burnt child dreads fire, but they don't all die from the burns. If a man gives us a bad check today does that make us stop takings them, thinking them all bad, no we will accept them whenever they are offered so it is with our Porter's Urban, it is all bad because you don't go to Washington and get the permission to organize it. With a whole lot of love for one another; a whole lot of confluence in the race and a whole lot of stickability and we will win. Strong City News. Rev. Martin was with us Sunday and preached two wonderful sermons. In the morning the subject was "The O O Fashion Way," and he certainly handled his subject well. He said the O O Fashion Way was the way of the cross. The only way we can see God's face in peace is to go the Old Fashion Way. How the Old Fashion Way must be hunted, followed with prayers and sometimes tears. The Way cannot be changed the some are trying to do. God said: for us to stand steadfast in the Old Fashion Way and when an about to overtake us, God will pull the trigger before any harm can come to us. Sister Lulu Wright united with the church. We have all the cement donated now and the last of April, we plan to start our walk. Sister Bertha Moor is going to train the children for the Easter Program. Rev. Martin preached Sunday night on the shining light of Love. It was the most sermon he has preached since he has been our pastor. It was wonderful. Surely some ones' prayers are being answered. Rev. Martin is certainly improving. The collection all day was $901. Mr. Henry Morris is feeling much better since he is here with his daughter, Mrs. Bertha Moore. Clarence Ridley spent a few day last week in Newton, with his mother. Alfred Henry Moore was out of school two days on account of sickness. The Khill family moved to Emporia, last work. We were sorry to see them go. Advertise in this Paper And Get Results. A PROGRAM THAT SHOULD CHAL- LENGE THE INTER- EST AND ACTIVE SUPPORT A PROGRAM THAT SHOULD CHAL- LENGE THE INTER- EST AND ACTIVE SUPPORT Of the Negroes of the Southwest is that of the South Central Athletic Association. This organization embraces eight communities, with over 150 young men and boys, under clean trained leadership. These boys have participated in over fifty games. Most of them have been engaged from one to three nights each week. They have not only received training in physical development; but team-work and fair play. Who can tell what may result in co-operation and good fellowship from the contacts these boys have had? Also, let us consider the profitable utilization of time. If these boys had been in activities who can tell how this time might have been spent. Much credit is due the coaches and manager who have given unstintingly of their time, in making possible this piece of fine service. WEEK OF PRAYER AT K I.E. I WEEK OF PRAYER AT K I.E. I BY L. L. STEWART In a series of meetings conducted by Dean Garnett, Dr H B. Bronson, pastor of Metropolitan Temple, Kansas City, Kansas, rendered inestimable services. In connection with the five days meetings, services were he'd two hours a ch dav; ten hours being allotted for the week of prayer. These meetings began March 23rd and ended March 29th. As a result 23 souls were converted and many weak Christians were strengthened. For the first three hours of the allotted ten satan held fast his ground but during the fourth hour his grip on the situation was weakened. Twelve souls slipped from his grasp and each meeting thereafter other souls deserted his comp until 23 declared themselves for the path of wisdom. These constituted a major portion of the unsaved students of the Institution The parents of those who were converted will rejoice to have their children return home with Jesus as their Saviour Instead of returning with a lot of modernism and many other kinds ofisms which are being taught in schools today. Dr Bronson crippled dancing and replaced the blues with the colorings of Divine Love. Dean Garnett demanded all records of the blues, because he knew better what to do with them than he students did. Much credit is due Prof T. W. Langston for his splendid service of song. He preceded his pastor. Dr. Bronson, by one week, to prepare the way for this great meeting. He organized a horus of 40 voices from the choirs of Calvery, Shiloh, and the Second B ptist Churches of Topeka Prof. is a great choir leader and the chorus organized from above named churches did great and effective singing. Mrs. W, H. Young an accomplish hed musician and wife of Dr. W, H. Young, presided at the piano durl g these meetings Dean Garnett demanded of Prof. Langston that no dancers should be permitted to sing in the chorus, thus removing this infamous, degrading, and sin loving evil from the meetings. Dr. W, H. Young, Revs. L. V. Bulton, M. J. Burton, W. H White, and A. W. Ross, assisted in the meeting. a Arkansas City News. PILGRIM REST BAPTIST CHURCH Rev, C. E. Woods, Pastor. Sunday morning services were very spiritually blessed; had a wonderful sermon by the pastor from Gen. 7:18, Divine Precaution to Human Weakness. An excellent sermon on. B. Y, P. U., at 6:30; song and prayer service; attendance good. Mission was also good. The prayer meeting service has been very successful each night. The preaching service will begin Monday night by Dr. Hayes, Wichita. —M. Il. itorter. CENTRAL BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY BY L. L. STEWART, Student. Now that the school year is nearing its end, a general summary of all the work done during the school year will soon be under way. On May 22nd, Dean Garnett will sit high upon his throne and judge the boys according to the deeds done in their books this term. He will say to those who have been faithful and passed the rigid examination he shall give on the above date, "thou hast been faithful in your school work this year, enter thou into another class." But to those who fail, he will say depart from me, ye slothful student for when I asked you to recite church history, ye recited it not, when I asked you to recite homolectics, ye recited it not, I asked you to translate a certain amount of latin and ye translated it not. The student will say, "when did you ask me to do all these things and I did them not?" He will say, "In as much as ye failed to pass the examination, you answer your own question, depart from me and go and try to make up this work." The student will go away feeling all disgusted and Dean Garnett will get on the train and go to his home in Gary, Indiana. Dean Garnett is busy this week getting his forces lined up for the week of prayer in school here. Prof. Langston of K. C. K., and chorister for the Metropolitan Baptist Church, is here assisting Dean Garnett in lining up the forces for next week's special drive on satan and sin. Things we would like to have done in the Theological department:—More students for next term. The writer's cold cured so he can attend school every day in the week. Rev. Warder and Samuel Stubblefield from sleeping in the class. Rev. Martin from crying so much when Dean Garnett lectures. Bro. Howard from being late for the English. Dean Garnett from getting so enthused over a subject when it is time to dismiss school. The juniors from flinching when Dean Garnett mentions the Greek class for next year. Dr. Young responded with some more stamps this week. Now isn't he wonderful? The Lord blesses him because of his big heartedness. He has one of the best ornied churches in Topeka, and is highly esteemed by everybody. Dr. A. W. Ross, State Executive Secretary is in the city and is stopping at the Seminary. Thank you Dr. Young for those stamps, have you any more? You are so kind to us poor boys out here, wish some of the other pastors 'wuz good luck you is.' Rev. W. L. Warder, Rev. J. R.

A., received a letter from Dr. R. R. Morton, Principal of Tuskegee, advising that the Executive Council voted to extend him two invitations to deliver the Alumni Address at the Commencement Exercises in May. Capt.

But to our Secretary comes the honor of representing them on the program at their reunion. ARE YOU AWARE? BY E. M. BARNES. That an opportunity and a fair deal is all the thrill Negro needs from his materially superior brother? The little boys of L'Uvarteuro School Manual Training Department, showed their ability to excel when the chance is given them, in a bird house contest staged here by the Kansas Auduban Society beginning last Saturday. The contest is held in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades consisting of A and B classes; thus making a total of six classes in the race with first and second prizes for each class twelve in all aside from a sweep-stake prize. There are about 160 bird houses in the contest representing 10 centers (10 from each;) out of the 10 from L'Ouverture, three boys got prizes as follows: Leonard Johnson, 8 A class, sweep stake, (this means the best in contest) Gilbert Payne 8 B, first prize, Itobert Garrett, 7 B, first. These boys put themselves into the work and were quite confident that they would win. The above is only an example of what the boys of our group can do if they are properly encouraged. But most of them don't get anything at home to make them feel encouraged. It is almost entirely, in most cases, left to the best possible out of them. Until the parent learns to co-operate with the teacher the child will continue his downward trend. We appreciate the kind expressions made regarding the articles in this column two weeks ago.

JUNI04 OPIC—Ellijah on Mt. Carmel. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Conflict between Jezebel and Liljah YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—How Liljah Won the Victory I. Ellijah's Message to Ahab (vv. 17-15). When Jezebel became the wife of King Ahab, she waged a savage warfare against Gods prophets, killing all she could find, thus seeking to abolish the true religion and set up idolatry first. Liljah suddenly appeared, announcing the suspension of moisture (I Kings 17:1) as a judgment upon the people for their idolatry. He sounded three striking notes in his message: (1) "As the Lord God of Israel lveth"—He knew that he represented the living God, therefore did not fear. (2) "Before whom I stand"—Because Liljah stood before God, he could stand before Abah (3) "There shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word"—Drought was the punishment for idolatry (Deut. 11:16, 17). II. A Challenge to Baal Worship (I Kings 19:17-40). As soon as Liljah had delivered his message concerning the drought, he ruthen from the king's sight, while the penalty of the king's sins should be visited upon the land. 2. Liljah Shows Himself to Abah (vv. 17, 15). (1) Abah's question (s. 17) His aim in this question was no doubt to infiltrate Liljah, to give him into guilt mission. The devil goes about as a roaring lion (I Pet. 5.5). (2) Iljibah's answer (v. 18). He dinked the charge and boldly declared that the calamity which had befallen the nation was caused by the idolatry of Abib and his family. 2. The Bold Challenge (vv. 19-21). (1) The people assembled (vv. 19, 20). At the urgent request of Iljibah the king convened the people. (2) The ringing call to decision (vv. 21-24) a. The question asked (v. 21). Many of the people had not wholly forsaken God. They attempted to worship both God and Baal. b. The silence of the people (v. 21) This may have been because of fear of the king, or ignorance, for many were of the opinion that to be religious was the only thing necessary, irrespective of the being worshored. c. The method of dekion (vv. 22 24). Two sacrifices were to be pro- vided, one to be offered to Bud, the other to God. The one who answered by the way to be the God 3 The Test Applied (vv. 27,39). (1) (Offering by the prophets of Baal (vv. 25-29). Elijah gave the prophets of Baal the first opportunity to prove to the people as to whether Baal was a real god. (2) The offering by Elijah (vv. 30-39). a. People invited near (v. 30). There are no secrets in God's worship. b. The altar required (vv. 30-32) Elijah took twelve stones representing the united nation. c. The offering on the altar (vv. 35-35). After the bullock was in place he had four barrels of water three times emptied upon the sacrifice and the wood so as to fill the trench about the altar. d. Elijah's prayer (vv. 36, 37). This was a model prayer. (a) It was based upon covenants (v. 36). All real prayer rests upon covenant relationships. (b) Its object was God's evaluation (v. 36). Allah was jealous for God's glory, but the only thing that he asked for himself was to be known as God's servant. (c) It was for the salvation of the people (v. 37). His heart yearned after Israel. He wanted them to come to know God. e. The result (vv. 38, 39). (a) The fire of the Lord felt and consumed, not only the sacrifice, but the wood stains and dust, even licking up the water in the trenches. (b) The people fell on their faces and confessed that the Lord was the God. 4. The Execution of Banl's Prophets (4, 40) Israel's government was a theocracy God was their King Idolatry was treason against the King. Loyalty to Christ No Christian ought to be afraid to take his religion out where there is none. All the same it is easier to be loyal to Jesus when we keep with Jesus' other friends—Christian Cynosure. A Wise Selection Life is a piece of material put into your hands to dq with as you like. But in cutting it out be sure to use the only reliable pattern. — Christian Crosure. RESOLUTION: Whereas, The Great and Supreme Rulers of the Church had in late times widowed removed from among us, one of our worthy and esteemed fell-waiters, sister Rosa Ferguson, and, whereas, the king and inanimate stationer with him at the entrance of our duties in this society, must be eminently benting that we treated our appreciation of her there-cut, as it is resolved, that the wisdom and ability which we have exercised in service institutions and counsel, will be held in constant remembrance: Resolved, that the sudden removal of such a lie from among our midst, leaves a vacancy and a show that will be deeply realized by all the members and friends of this organization and will prove a serious loss to the community and the public. Resolved, That with deep sympathy for the bereaved relatives c. the deceased, we express our hope that even so great a loss to us all may be overturned, for good by Him Who doth all things well. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the records of this organization, a copy printed in the local papers and a copy forwarded to the bereaved family.

Men who are honest with god and his fellow-mer, honesty will give you standing with man and power with God. Good men who are filled with the Holy Ghost are much needed to help win the world for Christ. Sunday School attendance was large and much interest manifested.

Brooks, pastor of the A. M. E. Church, of the city delivered the annual thanksgiving session of the Knights of Pythias and Court of Calantles. At 8.00 p. m., Pastor Williams delivered a strong practical sermon from Zech. 2:4. Theme: "Run Speak to This Young Men." Zechariah had a prophetic vision of the world and young men's atlude toward God so he entreats the church to run and speak to young men. Run, because of the swiftness with which souls are being swept into destruction. How to speak: gently, kindly, firmly and advisedly to the gambler, the drunkard, the n urderer and any whom you may see in need. Pastor pointed out very clearly and definitely the duty of Chri-tians. The Mission Circle will meet at the hone of Mrs. Margaret Finch next Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Frank Wright and small daughter, have returned home after an extended visit with relatives in Missouri. Mrs. Bassie Barnes of Kansas City, Mo., spent a few days in the city, the guest of her sister, Mrs. Nell Bradley. Mr. Frazier Bell is here off the road for a few days, visiting his mother. "Ore hundred persons in the prayer service," is cur slogan. There was marked increase of attendance last Wednesday. At 5 p. m., Sunday March 23rd, Rev. Burr, pastor of the Congregational Church (white) reached us a straightforward, practical sermon from the subject, "Living to give and giving to live." In proportion as we give, so will we live. We are all born for a purpose and that purpose was to give. In pouring out our lives for our fellowmen, we save it. God so loved the well that He gave, yes. His only begotten sor. Rev. Burr is an entertaining and a fearless speaker and his discourse was enjoyed by all. Supt. Howard introduced Mr. J. C. Arthur (white) who spoke to the S. School of the Convention to meet at Blair Hall, next week and extended an invitation for a defeation from our school. At 11 Pastor Williams preached from Psalms 29:2; theme, "Honor God." This was truly a burning message fraught with truths. At 8 p.m., Pastor Williams was enabled by the Holy Spirit to bring to us another Gospel message that was impressive, inspiring and instructive; Theme: "The Dog Leaving the Hogs." A graphic picture of the Prodigial seeing him-If; 2. The Prodigial's Decision; 3rd, The Father's Attitude toward the prodigal. Though our sins be as scarlet, if we are made to see ourselves, and decide within ourselves as did the Prodigial, our Father in Heaven is waiting with open arms to receive us. Mrs. Chas. Childs, president of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, was in the city Monday and met the federated clubs of the city in session at the Baptist Church in the afternoon. The ladies of the N. U. G. Art Club entertained for Mrs. Childs, Monday evening at the lore of Mrs. Wm. Carvin on North 2nd. Deason D. L.

"And I turned to see the voice that snake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks." "The vision of the Church" was his subject. He preached a wonderful sermon, in the true sense of the word.

Livingston un and cut again; he was in to see us this week. His wife is still indi and Mrs. Harriet Rakeman of Kingfisher, Okla. was here on account of the death of her daughter, Miss Rakeman who was brought from Kansas City, and buried here. The family has our sympathy. Pev. Merchant, the efficient pastor of New Hope is in the city. It was a shock to the citizenry of Wichita, this week when The Beacon published a charge against Rev. B. C. Rannavalona and B. C. Marshall, and offered reasons for not appointing Mr. W. H. Jones, another Negro, as night jailer. It seemed to want to imprison the public that the first two resigned because of indecent conduct with white women, backed up with endorsement or statement of Doctor Cooper, the City Physician. Upon investigation by the N. A. A. C. F., the whole thing proved to be groundless and that it was the dirtiest game of politics that has ever been paled off in our city. First, our race has passed the fool age, whether we express what we believe or not, we know the truth when we hear it. When read the articles we could see no reason for such to be true, or the women who were accused must have loved the accused so much, until they did not want the accused to resign and leave them three or if the good physician, the officers and The Beacon reporters knew of it they thought it all right at the time it happened. But no, the whole thing rested until they resigned and politics began to warm and then this paper takes a shot at Sheriff Center, accusing him of appointing members of a race where the whole race is untrustworthy. If the accusations were true, why did the women not tell them when it happened. No it was our race must be told that the lowest white women in the city are better than our best Negro citizens. God cannot use a race that takes His word a lie; and by the white race's own follies it will destroy itself. Mr. Ransom came from the Pin of Dr. J. R. Ransom, one of the highest ranked men in the A. M. E. Church, who has reared a big family and all striving upward and this young man a Christian. Rev. B. C. Rannavalona, a learned minister and protuberant of many religious activities and hard student even to this day. W. H. Jones, who has held many different offices for many years and who has so conducted himself so that the public asks for his services. The whole race accused who has less people in the courts, done less robbing and has shown every sign of progress, bought more homes in proportion to its men than any race in the city. And is fighting hard to make Wichita, stand first class by giving to its children with the best of preparation a race who will even in the future of America and is fighting in every way to make it stand in the first ranks, but with all this ambition, there is a low thought in the mind of the white man (thoughtless) that the Negro is no more than a beast, and can be treated as such without suffice. The displeasure of Almighty God or effecting the race. This may be the way that the devil would do a civilization that will stand, but God would not. We think that the Beacon should be made to pay for the scandal and that to the extreme of the law We feel that the Negro race should boycott The Beacon, unless it cleans up this accusation against our race. We feel that the race should take action against it. Business brought Mrs. U. B. Thompson to see us. Mr. and Mrs. L. Lane, 803 E. Central are the proud parents of an 11 round bey, Saturday, March 22.
