CHURCH ABOLISHES I. GARLAND PENN'S JOB SPRINGFELD, MASS. June 12—At the recent meeting of the general conference of the M. L. Church here, the Board of Education fro Negroes was abolished. It is said the conference took the matter up after it had first been considered in a council made up of Negro delegates, in which Dr. Penn fought for his board to be continued. But under the double blow of its usefulness and his alleged mis management of schools it was agreed by a two to one vote that the board should be abolished. The results of the conference's action places the Negro schools under the same management as the white schools. Dr. Penn was severely criticized for his heartless and inconsiderate treatment of an aged educator, it is said who had given his life to school work of the church. Among other things cited against Dr. Penn was the cost of the construction of a school at Atlanta, and the purchase of the school properties at Meridian, Miss. OBITUARY Brother John Jackson was born in Bowling Green, Warren County, Ky. Dec. 25, 1853 and deceased at his late home,119 East 12th Street, Newton, Kansas, June 4, 1924; death caused by Brights' Disease. On leaving Bowling Green, he went to Todd County, Ky., where he lived and followed farming durinb his sojourn there. He was converted and united with the 2nd Baptist Church of Pembroke and served in capacity of deacon a number of years, while there he was married to Miss Maggie Tandy of Pembroke, in the year 1883, and his wife came to Newton, Harvey County, Kansas where they purchased a home and lived comfortably together for a number of years when it pleased the Lord to call her from labor to reward. May 17th, 1899, he was married to Miss Ella House of Newton, Kansas. To this union five children were born; four of which preceded him. The one surviving him is Mrs. Beatrice Jackson Bledsoe. A.D. 1909, it pleased the Lord to take from his side, Mrs. Ella Jackson by death. January 3rd, 1912, he was united in marriage to Mrs. Lula McClain of Newton, Kansas, who survive him. Brother Jackson was a very industrious man and worked hard for 16 years with the Santa Fe Railroad Co., doing janitor and baggage work at the Newton Station. Following this he worked for the First National and Kansas State Banks of this city for a number of years. At the time of his demise, he was jaritor of the First National and Midland & National Banks of Newton. For the First National Bank he had worked 28 years. He was a loyal citizen and strong member of the 2nd Baptist Church of Newton and a very efficient worker. He filled the function of both deacon and Trustee of the church from the time the tonor was conferred until his death. He once held the office of president of the B. Y. P. U. of the Southwestern District Baptist Convention. He was a member of the York Rite Masone Lodge of this city and had also held office in the Grand Lodge of the State. He was a member of the Knights of Tabor and had twice held office of Chief Mentor of the Lodge in this city. Brother Jackson was a man of strong conviction and believed in, and very strongly advocated, "One Lord, One Faith and One Baptism." Brother Jackson was conscious that the end was near, realizing this fact he called his loved ones to his bedside and delivert to each of them important charges and impressive warnings urging the unsaved ones to seek the Lord. He asked that they sing, "Am I a soldier of the cross?" be sung in the tune that they usually sang it. When two verses were sung by those sound about him, his soul leaped for joy and he praised the Lord, and said whatever you have to say, say it now. Then he made a strong appeal for the unity of the great family, "The Church." As to parental relationship, he was alone, his people all having been sold South, during the days of slavery in this country. He is survived by his wife, one daughter, Marianne Bledsoe of this city, one grand daughter, Glener Fay Bledsoe and two stepdaughters, Miss Fay McClain at home and Mrs. Jessie Frutier of Kansas City, and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Corra Hirman who lived with him and family, and a host of friends. The one we loved have been called away; long days and nights he bore his pain, to wait a cure but all in vain. No one knows the silent heart- ALL THINGS ARE NOW READY. To Congress Messenger:— I have just returned from Cleveland, and find everything in readiness for the SUNDAY SCHOOL and B. Y. P. U. CONGRESS. The pastors, Churches, Sunday Schools and B. Y. P. U., Societies are all busily engaged in making preparation for the messengers that will attend the Congress. There seemed to be just a little conflict with regard to the rate for board. The published circular announces a rate of $1.60 per day, which, according to the original agreement should have been published TWO ($2.00) DOLLARS per day. We trust the messengers to the Congress will note this correction and govern themselves accordingly. Identification Certificates will not be sent out from the Congress headquarters as heretofore. Delegates are instructed to buy a straight ticket to Cleveland, and procure a certificate from the Ticket Agent at your home. Upon reaching Cleveland, they can present this Certificate to the Agent, who will sell them a Return Ticket to their homes for one-half the regular fare. Do not fail to procure certificate before you leave home. If so, you cannot get the reduced returning. E. W. D. Isaac, Director General. Coffeyville Notes. The pastor, Rev. P. D. Skinner, having returned from Wichita, where he spent a week, conducting a successful Gospel campaign with the Calvary Baptist Church, Dr. J. W. Hays, one of Kansas' greatest Gospel ministers, being the honored pastor, met his own pulpit Sunday, and delivered two able sermons; theme morning, "God's care for His own, and at night, "Christ on the Cross Challenged by his enemies." Each service was fairly well attended and splendid interest manifested. Prof. Geo. L. John, National Musical Director and Tenor Solos, closed out a three weeks' Community Musical Training Service, here with two Musical programs. Thursday night, June 30th at the Jefferson Theatre, where he entertained an audience of nearly 600 people 85% of whom were white citizens. Door fees realized $25.00. The 2nd on Sunday, June 1st at 3 p.m., to a full house of white people at the 1st Methodist Church (white) Rey, Gordon Thompson, Pastor. This was a trained chorus of local talent, the result of his three weeks' work. An offering of $48.35 was given at this entertainment, as an expression of a hearty appreciation. These two musical entertainments were easily accepted as the greatest ever witnessed hereby a Coffeyville audience. The best Colored Musical Talent in the city were members of the chorus, such as Mrs. Jennie Ducker, Miss Elsie Haley, Mrs. A. R Ferebee, Mrs. Victoria Hightower, Rev. R. H. Harbert, Prof. W. Carter, and in fact nearly the entire body of colored teachers, besides a number of others too numerous to mention whose names we failed to get, were accredited members of this chorus. Miss Cleo. M. Skinner, the accomplished pianist made the hit of her life as plano accompanist. Her performance on the piano was a clear exhibition of her superior skill and mastery of the instrument. Prof. George L. Johnson with his clear musical tenor voice sang several selections that fairly swept the audience of their feet during the entertainment. He left to spend two or three days in Farsons, before leaving the State, Sunday evening—Leporter. aches. Only those who have lost can tell of the grief that is borne in silence: For our dear one we loved so well, More and more each day, We know we will miss him. Friends may thank the wound is healed. Bring her little know the sorrow That he is in our hearts concealed. That lies in our hearts today. The funeral was held at the 2nd Baptist Church at the corner of Std and Oak Streets, Newton, Kansas, June 6th, 1921. A very touching sermon and oration were delivered by the pastor, Rev. O. B. Ware. Scripture read by Rev. L. A. Story of the C. M. E. Church; prayer was offered by Rev. W. H. Housley of the A. M. E. Church. Services was also conducted by the Knights of Tabor.

CONNELLSVILLE, PA, June 7- It has been some time since I have attempted to write a piece for the paper. Realizing that my home is in the dear old State of Kansas, and many of my home people live there; and at the same time, knowing that I am deeply interested in everything that goes to advance the race, and while laboring in the East, I am on the watch wall, endeavoring to keep tab on general conditions of things of the race. I have just returned from the Pennsylvania Baptist Convention, which met at Steelton, Pa., June 3rd. I shall say, that the entire session of both the Woman's Convention and the Convention Proper, were a real Spiritual and Financial success. The President, (Dr. J. C. Austin, D. Da.) was re-elected by acclamation and the rest of its officers. ... I would like to say with reference to the President, that he is a young man with a for-reaching vision. And the Baptists of this State have lined up with this great program. I have visited many of the State Conventions in America, but I must admit that this was the greatest State Convention that I have ever attended in my life. Pennsylvania has more than Five Hundred Thousand Baptist representatives, with many strong churches are paying large salaries to the pastors. Not only that, but this State is giving more money for Foreign Mission than any State in America. Just think, we have given $9,690 90 for Foreign Mission during the last eight months. What other State has given that much? The President recommended in his address that this State will have a State Baptist Headquarters, and an Extension Board which was joyfully adopted. When the time came for the President to present the plan for raising the money to begin this work, it war met with great financial approval; for the pastors came forward and subcribed for more than Six Thousand Dollars, which was very blessing to our President. This is a great State for the Baptist. Although, we have many racial and moral problems to be solved and it will be up to every Negro in this State to do his and her part to solve it. It is being clearly demonstrate, the other man isn't going to take our part In this problem, therefore, it is ours, and we must do it; I believe by the help of God we are going to do it. The Rep. J. E. East, our Foreign Mission Secretary, has just returned from Africa. He reports to us that he has successfully closed a deal for 2001 acres of land to build an Industrial School for the training of our people over there. What a great thing that is. I shall not say more. May the Lord bless the work in Kansas. I shall endeavor to meet you at Cleveland, Ohio, June 18th. I am yours for the Cause, L. D. Stevens, Pastor, Union Baptist Church. Salina, Kansas News. Sunday School at 9:45 with a large attendance, which is increasing each Sunday. Rev. Hunt of Leavenworth, the District Missionary, carried on service here Sunday, at 11 he delivered a wonderful sermon from 2 Cor. 5, 10; subject: "Judgment Bound Travellers." The sermon seemed to sink deeply into the hearts of those present, reminding us how quickly and at such an unexpected time we may enter into judgment; he brought our attention back to the unexpected death of President Harding; also of the late Rev. Van Leu. At 3 o'clock, the Rev. Hunt delivered a message at the A. M. E. Church from the subject: "Get Acquainted With God." The Rev. called our attention to the condition of the world at the present day, and reminds us that as no other time have we needed to know God more than now. At 8 o'clock p. m., the Rev. Hunt mencheed his 3rd sermon for the day was delivered from text St. John25; subject, "Stand by Christ;" which was very encouraging to the Christians. How they may lose friends by standing near God, but will triumph in the end. We surely appreciate Rev. Hunts' message to us Sunday that we shall not forget. The Mission Circle held their usual meeting at the church at 3 o'clock Wednesday. The circle is now on a great campaign drive and we are anticipating a great success at the end.

Sunday School Lesson (By REV P B PITZWATER DD, Toecher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (C. 1924 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for June 15 THE RETURN AND THE REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE LESSON TEXT—Eraa 1'1-11; 3 8-6 22. GOLDEN TEXT—"Comfort ye comfort ye my people, saith your God"—Isa. 40 1. PRIMARY TOPIC—Building a House for God JUNIOR TOPIC—Love for Gods House INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Rebuilding of the Temple YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Significance of the Return I. The Return From Captivity Predicted (Jer. 29:10-14). It seems that false prophets were flourishing in Babylon, telling the people that they would speedily be restored to their own land. To counteract this the Lord moved Jeremiah to send a letter to the captives in Babylon (Jer. 29:11-9). In this letter he advised them to settle down and quietly pursue their regular callings of life and not to be led astray by false propheta. 1. The Length of the Captivity (v. 10). Their coming back was to be "after seventy years." From Daniel 9:22 it is clear that seventy years means a definite time. It dates from the time when the first company was taken cup vive among which Daniel was found. 11. The Prediction of Captivity Fulfilled (Era 1:11) 1. The Proclamation of Cyrus (vv. 1-4). This was not by accident, but that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled (v. 1) God never forgets What he has promised He will do. It was by divine initiation—the Lord starred up the spirit of Cyrus. In his proclamation he ordered that all who desired should go back and build the house of the Lord God, and those who lacked this initiation should lend assistance by making gifts of silver, gold and beasts. 2. The Response to Cyrus' Proclamation (vv. 5, 0) The company which returned was largely made up of representatives of Judah and Benjamin 3. Royal Favors (vv. 7-11). Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord which Nebuchadnzeraz had carried away from Jerusalem and placed in the house of his gods. This, no doubt, greatly encouraged the Jews, for there were 5,400 vessels returned III. The Temple Rebuilt (Izra 3:b-0:15). 1. The Foundation Laid. This was an auspicious occasion and was celebrated with impressive ceremonies. (1) The priests in their apparel (v. 10). The priests' garments symbolized their consecration to the Lord's service. (2) The priests with trumpets (v. 10). These trumpets were made of silver and were used in calling the people together (3) The Levites with symbols (v. 10). These were to furnish the instrumental music of the sanctuary. In accordance with the arrangements made by David (1 Chron. 15:10 21). (4) They sang together by course (v. 11). This means that they sang to one another responsibly. The one company sang, "The Lord is good." The other responded, "For his mercy endureth forever." (5) Mingled weeping and shouting (vv. 12, 13). Some of the older men, who had seen the magnificent and glorious temple of Solomon, which had been destroyed, wept much when they saw how far short the present foundations came from the former temple 2. The Building Hindered (Ezra 4). The leading adversaries were the Samaritans, a mongrel people, the offspring of the poor Jews who were left in Palestine and the foreign people who were sent into Palestine after the Jews were inaken captive. (1) An unintelligent pessimism (Ezra 3:13). Under the circumstances this was a glorious beginning and gave promise of great things for the future. Therefore it was no credit to the priests. Levites and chief of the fathers fo mar this occasion with their weeping. (2) Worldly compromise (Ezra 4:2. 3). They said, "Let us build with you, for we seek your God." This is Satan's most common and effective method today. (3) Open opposition by the world (Ezra 4:424). When refused a part in the work open opposition was resorted to. 3. The Temple Finished (Ezra 5:1-6; 6:15). Through the ministry of the Prophets Haggag and Zechariah the people were encouraged to resume the work of building the temple. IV. The Temple Dedicated (Ezra 6:10-22). The people were united in this building program and came together upon its completion and solemnly dedicated it to God. Manhattan News. Rev, S. H.

D. of Chicago, preached the sermon. He used as his text: "Preach the Word." 2 Tim. 4:2. Bishop Abraham Lincoln Galnes, who was consecrated by Bishop Benjamin Franklin Lee and Bishop A. J. Carey, was presented by Revs. L. L. Berry, Virginia; M. A. Fountain, of Georgia; G. T. Stinson, Louisiana; J. H. Grant, Tennessee; J. H. Wilson, California. Bishop Revedy Cassius Rsuism, who was consecrated by Bishops J. Albert Johnson and I. N. Ross, was presented by Revs. H. K. Spearman, New Jersey; W. T. Pope, Arkansas; A. D. Avery, North Carolina; L. G. Duncan, Alabama. Bishop John Andrew Gregg, who was consecrated by Bishops William Decker Johnson and William Alfred Fountain, was presented by Revs. J. C. Caldwell, Kentucky; H. Y.

There were several general officers who were re-elected without contest. In this numbor mere Dr. D. M. Baxter, Manager Book Concern; John R. Hawkins, Financial Secretary; A. S. Jackson, Commissioner of Education; S. S. Morris, Secretary Allen Christian Endeavor League; and for the others, there was a lively contest. There were some surprises in this connection, for the Rev, Dr. E. H. Colt of South Carolina, was closed missionary secretary; Dr. J. G. Robinson of Michigan was elected editor of the A. M. E. Review; Dr. G. W. Allen of Tennessee was re-elected editor of the Southern Christian Record- We Have a Very Large Stock of Rugs and Linoleum now on display at the NEW LOW PRICES REFRIGERATORS AND PORCH FURNITURE Buy them now while our stock is complete. Easy terms arranged or a liberal discount for cash 1911 N. Lawrence Street Phone Market 4025 er, he was so far behind that the men declare that Dr. R. R.Wright was elected without opposition. Dr. J. D. Barksdale was elected editor of the Western Christian Recorder. Dr. S. J. Johnson, the noted preacher and leader from Texas, was elected Church Extension Secretary. It was decided that in the future women can hold membership in district annual and even general conferences. She will be contending for an election four years hence. She will be a factor in church work in the future The representation of the laity of the church was increased from two to three. This considered an advanced step. One of the hardest fought battles in the General Conference was for secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, yet after much discussion and many side meetings, when it went into the Genearl Conference Prof. Ira T. Bryant, was elected over all the opponents, on the first ballot. Immediately on the electin, Bishop Joshua H. Jones served notice that he would contest the election of Ira T. Bryant on the ground that too many ballots were cast and the secretary had not received a majority. Bishop William D. Chapelle of South Carolina, presided throughout the entire election, and he ruled that Bryant had been elected. When the time came Bishop Jones withdrew his protest. Things moved along smoothly. The laymen presented Bishop Chappelle with a loving cup in token of their appreciation for his fairness in presiding. Bishop H. Blanton Parks was presented with a fine oil painted portrait of himself. There were many important bills presented and passed during the session. All services were well attended. Prof John R. Hawkins won for himself a place in the hearts of his people. Bishop W. Sampson Broots o' West Africa raised $500 in 20 minutes for his work in Africa. Prof. Aaron E. Malone played an important part in the general conference. He is one of the most active laymen in the connection and served on some of the most important committees. He introduced a measure making better provision of the old ministers, those who had devoted their lives to the work of the church often serving on starvation salaries and when they had reached the place where they no longer were active, then they were thrown away. He wanted the rural preacher to have better pay, and when Prof. Malone made his talk, each word went right to the heart of the ministers. He is regarded as a safe leader among the laymen and has demonstrated his love for his church as well as his race. He made his committee work tell. There were many laymen active in the general conference, men who were present at every session and did not spend any time in social affairs. The bishops were assigned as follows: First District, Philadelphia, New Jersey, New and New York and New England conference, Bishop W. H. Heard. Ninth District, Alabama, North Alabama, Central Alabama, East Alabama, and South Alabama Conference, Bishop Wm. Alfred Fountain. Tenth District, Texas, Central Texas, Northeast Texas, West Texas, Southwest Texas, and Mexico Conferences, Bishop Willham Decker Johnson.

Leavenworth Kansas The Sunday School is doing nicely now; they are going to do better than they did last year; since the weather is warm now they are going on little outings to stir up interest in the school. The school was reviewed instructively by Prof. N. O. Bryant. He presented some vital points before us by making a wicked king and a good king; wickedness is the downgrading of any nation, while righteousness is for the uplift. Morning Service—Devotion led by Deacon Petitt and Deacon Carey; Scripture read by pastor 21st Psalm. Sermon by Rev. Bright. Text found Job 1:6; subject of text: "The Devil in the Church. He preached a glorious sermon and we were greatly persecuted by this true and unpolished evil found in the church. Afternoon Services—The Daughters of Covenant made their annual visit at the 1st Baptist Church, Sunday, one th at 9 p.m. The sermon was preached by Rev. R. A. Cartwright, the pastor. Evening Service—Devotion led by Deacons Carey and Petit; Scripture read by pastor, Matt. 28:19. Subject: "Power." All power Christ has in His hand. He came down off the cross, He broke death's mighty chain and He arose triumphantly from the grave and made a way by which man can be saved. One was taken down into the water for baptism, in person of Mr. Coleman; one joined by letter, namely, Mr. Miller. Monday evening, June 9th, a scholastic prize was given to the student who made the highest grades in High School.

Those on the sick list are Mrs. Jno. m aan Mrs. Richardson. The Royal Club is to give a picnic, June 9th. The funeral of Mrs. Weaver was held Tuesday, June 10, at Bethel A. M. E. Church, at 2 p. m. The best policy is to be a good all around fellow in whatever you do, do it right or not at all. Do that which is needful and not that which is unneeded. The race must progress and if we as individuals of this race must work for upbuilding not for demoralizing and putting down the fellow who has the ability to be useful to his race and himself as well. There are many hindrances that keep us back: hatred toward our fellowman; by not uplifting the work that will help you. We as a people must wake up and help humanity on to a higher height. It takes work, meekness and love to ward God to put the program over and by these few remarks. I hope somebody will be benefitted by them. Emporia News. Sunday at 9:45; officers and teachers punctual. School has taken on new life. Rev. Barnes feeling indisposed Rev. Fortner filled the pulpit and preached a noble sermon from Eph. 2:14; subject: "Going over to the over to the other sida." In his discourse, he said: People are not particular in taking a stand for the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; they seem to want to serve the Master and hold on to the world. But we must sell out and go across on the other side and stay because we can not serve God and the devil too. Calvin Murray was baptized at 4 o'clock; Rev. Barnes officiated. God bless the students; the winter students have gore and the summer students are here. B. Y. P. U. was led by Sister Anna Carter; much interest was manifested generally. In the evening Pastor Barnes preached from Matt. 7; subject: "The Temptation of Christ;" showing to Calvin how the devil would come in so many ways that he could hardly tell he was near, but he must watch and pray because the devil was always on the job. Rev. Barnes made the story so plain and impressive. I'm sure we will never forget it. Sister Thelma Brown of Oklahoma, united with the church. We are glad to hear that Rev. C. P.
