C., March 1 In response to urgent requests from certain states, the executive committee of the National Race Congress, which met here last week to make arrangements for the next annual session, advanced the date of the meeting from May 7 to April 29. Mount Carmel Baptist Church, 3rd and Eye Sts., N. W., was selected for the proceedings of the Congress, which will close May 2. President Jernagin reported that during his recent trip through parts of the South he had met with some of the leading citizens and had organized units of the congress at Tampa and Jacksonville, Florida. On his return trip he stopped off at Raleigh, N.C., where, as the UNION RE- FORMER puts it, he was a guest at a luncheon representing "Raleigh's best business and professional men." The Reformer goes on to state that 'The burden of his message was to show those present the good results that can be achieved through co-operation. He appealed to the members of the league to put aside their petty differences and throw their moral, financial and intellectual strength together and co-operate for the good of all the people. "The big thing that members of the Negro race need, is centralized bureau composed of our conservative leaders to represent our interests when things of vital importance occur, and such is the aim and purpose for which the Peace Congress was orgnaized; he said." The committee passed a resolution authorizing the President to solicit funds for this bureau.

FRIDAY, April, 11, 1921 HEALTH FILM SHOWN TO RACE IN NEW ORLEANS HEALTH FILM SHOWN TO RACE IN NEW ORLEANS (Freston News Service) NEW ORLEANS, LA., April 11— "The Message of Hope," a film shown at the Lyric theater last week in the interest of "Negro Health Week," was witnessed by thousands of race men, women and children, according to an announcement by the Anti-Tuberculosis League. ARE YOU AWARE? BY E M BARNES That the question of Race Salvation as it regard the Negro, which was spoken of in this column some weeks ago is a question needing attention of the thinkers. The question of "What Shall The Negro Do To Be Saved" should ever be with him. In all sincerity, what shall he do to be saved? Can he go on as he is going and amount to anything in a few years to come? Can he continue in his indolent and unconcerned way toward his brother and win leadership in the affairs of the nation? Can he hope to be anything particular in the eyes of the world and God when he rejoices in the downfall of his fellow or does anything to retard the onward march of a proposition not birthed by him? No, it is difficult to see just what he hopes or expects; if he does hope and expect at all, in the time of dividing the spoils of this battle of life. He cannot win the proper recognition here below or in the land above at the rate he is now traveling. He cannot hope for a better lot than he now has; if he retains the attitude he now shows toward his own group; and also toward the other dominating group. First of all, then, he must change his ideas, his feelings and his attitude toward the things of world and the people of the world; if he would take his rightful place in the active hall of life. Some of us often wonder (not think) why our expressions seem to and in many cases actually continue. It is also often said that our group stands as a target for the world. Did the gerrarker ever think (not wonder) about the gross estrangement and singular factionalism yet existing in our group. Every superstition, hatred covetousness and many other such qualities are attributes of the devil, and tend only toward keeping a part a would be great race or people. So, an illumination of these non-essentials to win in this gridiron of time. There is without a doubt something in the thot of the Negroes election as a people's. However we do not wish it understood that he will inherit with out an effort eternal life as a race; but personally, as all others. We believe he was chosen for a certain mission to fill a particular and important niche in God's plan of affairs; how well he fills that place depends solely upon his prayerful and sincere attitude toward God's plan. This has so far been the losing factor in his life. Finally there are definite and decisive steps and plans to be made if the Negro would be saved. Taking into serious thought those things mentioned above and many others which might be iterated the salvation of the Negro is a problem whose solution can readily be seen. Are you treating yourself if right? If so, the other fellows need not fear you. We thank you for your thoughts and criticisms. COLLINS' NEW THOUGHT WEATHER BUREAU FORECAST For Wichita and Vicinity Fror April 11th to 18th, Unsettled. Shifting winds. Light rains probably. Generally cool. C. F. Collin, Astro WHITE FIEND ATTEMPTS RAPE ON SMALL RACE CHILD Preston New Service WHEELING, W. VA, April 11—Negroes of this city were incensed when they learned than an unidentified white man lured a six-year old colored girl into his automobile. According to residents of Chapline St., last Saturday night a little six-year-old colored girl was playing with a rubber ball in Chapline street and missed catching it. At the time a well dressed white man, walking down the street, caught the ball and lured the child along, holding the ball out playfully with the child innocently following, until they had passed the Pythian Temple when he seized her arm and pulled her into an automobile. Having disarranged his clothing, he attempted to do likewise with the child's, who became afraid and yelled and managed to get out of the automobile. She ran to her home and told her mother who rushed out to investigate, only to find the man had disappeared. The mother immediately notified the police, and an hour later an officer appeared on the scene. It is alleged by Negroes of the city that the delay in the arrival of an officer was probably due to the color of the child, as it is said the first question asked by the officer was, the color of the child.

SUGGESTIONS ADOPTED. SOUTHWESTERN DISTRICT WORKERS' CONFERENCE TO BE RECOMMENDED FOR ADOPTION IN ANNUAL MEETING "With all thy getting get under standing." "I have kept the Lord always before me."—Bible. Brother Moderator and Co-workers, we are here to get together a pro- gram that is God given. Not a new program, but to understand together the Divine program. A little out of the ordinary, perhaps, to call you together at this time but as there is safety in a multitude of counsel, let us council upon the following things: First the financial aspect of our work. In the first place to function properly we need $2,265 For this the church only is responsible collectively and each member individually. How can this be done in one effort? By each church raising $1.25 per member annually, when this amount is equal to or above the constitutional requirement. Each church is to divide its amount between its auxiliaries. 20% to each auxiliary and 40% for the church proper or divided among the auxiliaries in proportion to the amount they raise. Out of the percentage credited each local auxiliary they are to take care of their individual state apportionment. In the next place the program. (a) The institutional program carefully prepared institutes dealing with the work of the auxiliary in which it is. The State Board. Notify each church to report with whatever is possible to send. The Sunday School State Convention. Special effort to have every Sunday School and B. Y. P. U., in the district to represent. Definite preparation for representation in our State and National Meetings. The heads of the organizations should be sent to the State and Annual Meetings and the folk should know and feel it is their responsibility. Suggestions. 1. For boards, first, Finance Committee whose duty will be to receive all money from church and to give due credit and receipt for same. 2. A committee to receive all bills, examine same and make recommendations as to the distribution of all moneys. These committees to be composed of one member from each auxiliary. 3. One secretary for Board. Thus save expenses. 4. A united constitution. 5. Smaller minute, dealing only with the spiritual, institutional and financial aspects. All secretaries of the annual meeting compile minute and have it in the hand of the proper committee within ten days and minutes to be off press in sixty days. Reduced Rates To Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress. The various passenger associations throughout the country have united in granting a reduced rate of one and one-half fares for the round trip to the Sunday School and H. Y. P. U. Congress that will be held in Cleveland, Ohio, June 18-22, 1921. All parties desiring to avail themselves of the benefit of this rate are instructed to call for a CERTIFICATE when they purchase their one way ticket to Cleveland. Turn this CERTIFICATE over to H. T. SIMS, the Secretary of the Congress, and his SIGNATURE attached thereto will enable you to buy a return ticket for one-half of the regular fare. Bear in mind that unless this Certificate is obtained before you leave home, you cannot secure it after you reach the Congress. It must be furnished by your Local Ticket Agent. The ministers and other good people are making arrangements to entertain all who may attend. This Congress will be extended by an unusually large number of messengers and visitors from all sections of the country. E. W. D. ISAAC, Director.

Lilisha, Elijah's Successor (I Kings 10:15-21; II Kings 2:2-15) I. His Anointing (I Kings 10:15-21). In obedience to the Lord's command, Lilisha went forth from his hiding place in Morah to anoint Lilisha as prophet. While Lilisha was plowing with even Lilisha passed by and cast his mantle upon him. 2. His Training (II Kings 2:29). Lilisha came into the life of Liljah in the field, where he called him forth from the plow, and there was thence four real friendship between them, such that Lilisha dung to his master to the very last, in spite of three urgent requests for him to remain behind. 3. Lilisha's Double Portion (II Kings 2:12 15). (1) Lilisha's cry (v. 12). "The chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof." This implies that Liljah was the true national defense. (2) Lilisha takes his place (v. 17). The taking of Liljah's mantle indicates his assumption of his place as a prophet. (5) Elisha's spirit upon Elisha (vv. 14, 17). This is proven by the use of his power to divide the Jordan. Also it is proven by the testimony of the sons of the prophets. 11. Elisha's Ministry (II Kings 3:10). 1. The Trenches Filled With Water (Chap. 3, 16-20) Jehovah, in alliance with the king of Judah, went against the Moabites. His army was in great strife for lack of water. When they appealed to Elisha, he made them show their faith by digging trenches in desert soil. The Lord sent water to fill the trenches. 2. Increase of the Widow's Oil (Chap 4:17). This woman's husband had died, leaving a debt, and the rebelor was about to make bondmen of her two sons. Elisha caused the scant supply of the widow's oil to be so increased that she sold enough to pay the debt. 2. The Shunamite's Son Restored (Chap 4:837). Because of hospitality shown Elisha, he sought to help his hostess by promising that the Lord would give her a child. The Joy brought by the fulfillment of the promise's announcement was shot-lived, for while yet but a lil he was taken away by death. In her sorrow she went to Elisha and he restored the child's life. 4. Heats Deadly Pottage (Chap 4: 38-41). In time of famine they made a vegetable soup from whatever growing plants they could find. By mistake a poisonous plant had been gathered. By putting meal into the pot the soup was made healthful. 5. Fed One Hundred Men (Chap 4: 42-44). To the astonishment of his attendant, he fed one hundred men with twenty barrel cakes and a pack of uncooked grain. 6. He Healed Nauman, the Laper (Chap 5:1-19). At the instance of a captive Jewish mould Nauman, the great Syrian general, was brought into touch with Elisha. Without even coming to see Nauman Elisha, through his servant, had he him dip seven times in the Jade in. He obeyed and was instantly healed. 7. Recovers the Lost Axe (Chap. 6:1-7). While the sons of the prophets were cutting timber to enlarge their quarters, the head of a bowed axe few from the handle and was lost in the muddy waters. When shown the place Elisha cast a stick into the water and the axe floated to the surface. III. Elisha's Heavenly Defenders (II Kings 6:8-23). This shows the secret of Ellisha's power. 1. The Syrian King Sorely Troubled (v. 8-12). The king directing warfare against Israel. He located camps so as to interrupt Israel's arms. Through Ellisha God made known the enemy's movements (v. 9). 2. The Syrian King Tries to Trap Ellisha, but, though surrounded by the Syrian army, a militant host of heavily defenders were round about him. 3. The Syrian Army Trapped. Ellisha led the Syrian army into Samarra. He ordered that they should be fed and sent back to their land. He Came to Save Sinners When a prominent man dies, we are anxious to get his last words and acts. The last act of the Son of God was to save a sinner. That was a part of the glory of His death. He commenced His ministry by saving sinners, and ended it by saving this poor thief.—D. L. Moody. Most people will excuse anything quicker than an apology.—Christian Herald. ·Ellsworth Notes. Rev.
