Despite the fact that on every hand, there are events and incidents that seem to stimulate the pessimist, they are but the evidences of the feeble efforts of the reactionaries who would tem the tide which is now at the flood. Early in the year, when the press caught up the echoes of the Student Volunteer Convention; and we real of the high ground and advance strides taken by the student leaders; there were all too many of us who excused the matter by exclaiming: "Another Period of superficial enthusiasm," "A small group of Visionaries," and many other phrases. But those who are following through will testify that this group of American youth, from all quarters; representing the 48 states and 90 Colleges and Universites were voicing the sentiment of American Student Life; Speaking for The New Humanity;" Truly evidencing the "New Day" that is on the world horizon. The most courageous utterances ever heard on the occasion were those of General Secretary of the M. E. Church of South as he preached the Baccalaureate Sermon at Tuskegee in May. Because of the overwhelming Good Will of the majority of the South, the Hospital controversy in being adjusted in the most encouraging manner and already, Negro leadership is at the helm. Herrington. News. Sunday, June 15th, Rev. J. W. Ragland preached for us in the absence of our pastor, Rev. L. S. Arthur, who has a special call to Herrington. Rev. Rag and chose text from Heb. 6:18; subject: Who has fled for refuge? He preached a good sermon. The Spirit of God was with us; attendance good all day. Sunday School at 2:30 o'clock the lesson was well taught by the Supt., and teachers. The Mission Circle will meet Thursday. The Bible Lesson will be taught by Mrs. Essex of Salina.

COLLINS' NEW THOUGHT WEATHER BUREAU FORECAST For Wichita and Victinity From June 20th to 27th. Somewhat unsettled. Strong shifting winds and Threatening, but not much rain. C. F. Collins, Astro. In Atlanta, and Birmingham, half million-dollar high school. will be dedicated during the summer, ready for occupation in September. Most of the densely populated counties of Alabama have rural consolidated high school's. And almost without exception, the school terms are being lengthened. It is well to add that these schools are crowded to the doors. The doors of industrial opportunity are flung wide. The very day I was in Birmingham, a young Negro plumbing contractor had secured the contract to equip the Governor's mansion having underbid his competitors. It was my privilege to sitin on the session of the joint committee of white and colored men in the city of Atlanta, and hear them discuss their mutual, civic and social problems. Problems of housing, police protection, segregation in elevators, by transportation, etc. We come now to the joint conference of the Co'ored Men's Department and the Commission on Race Relations. This was an epoch-making event. Black men and white men put the proverbial "cards upon the table." Dr. W. W. Alexander, a southern white gentleman openly stated that we must make a test of Christianity here in the United States, in the South and prove that it works, before we seek to proagate it abroad. We left Asheville, thrilled with the frank and fearless way that leaders of the South faced their tasks and duty as Christians. WHAT OF THE NEGRO? The men of the Race are fearless in stating their frank position on all the vital issues of the hour. They are making it clearly understood, that nothing shorter than Christian Justice, and a square deal will meet the desires and demands of the Negro. He has offered his best, and epects the best in return. The schools and colleges are filled with cager youths, prepared for the "Great Adventure." They are determined that they shall not be found wanting, ere the day of their opportunity comes. They are determined not to be found wanting. "Say not six months and then the harvest, look out upon the fields and see them already white unto harvest." WICHITA, KANSAS, RETURNED W. L. Hutcherson, Executive Secretary of the Water Street Branch of the Wichita Young Men's Christian Association, has returned from an extended trip through the South, Southeast and East. In Alabama, he attended the commencement exercises at Tuskegee and delivered the Alumni Address. In Georgia, he attended the meeting of the Joint Committee on Race Relations and Churih Co-operation, spoke briefly. He addressed the Conference of the Inter-Racial Commission and the Colored Men's Department of the Y. M. C. A., at Ashville, N. C., on "The Needs of Colored Boys in Small Towns and Communities." He addressed the Student Conference at Kings Mountain, N. C., on "The Secretaryship, a Life Work." He visited and spoke at three points in Virginia, and at Pittsburgh, and Sewickly, Pennsylvania. Mr. Hutcherson is not only a local leader, but serves the State as a leader in the work for Young men and boys. The observation and experiences of this trip will stand him in good stead in the days to come. The summary of the trip has been written for The Star and Protest. Other statements of the trip will be heard from time to time in local meetings.

At 9:45 a.m. over the hundred mark was the attendance of our S. S. with an interesting study of the Bible lesson, and a FRIDAY, June 20, 1924. ARE YOU AWARE? That this period as I see it, (and I've heard others who think express likewise,) one of the most crucial of all periods of our existence? My readers were informed in this colin of a recent issue that that there would be an article in this issue touching this serious condition. Those who read the article on "Negro Salvation" some time ago, will perhaps be reminded, this is in a way a continuation of the same subject. "NEGRO SALVATION" By way of introductory plantation, it might be said that all the negligence, indolence, lack of conformity to duty, lack of integrity, failure in self and racial preservation, add those and many other evils possessed by the Negro, are material against the success of our group. Further, if the Negro would amount to much and in due time reach the height of heights which I believe are prepared for for him, he must be born again. If he would be saved, he must get a new idea of life, change his shifting gear to the reverse, and travel in an entirely different direction. He must begin to think, but he must first think of his lost and serious condition. Two much do we pat ourselves on the back and resign in the fact that we have made more progress within the last half century than any other people coming thru a like period. We are not to measure our success who'ly by others as to conson ourselves with the fact that we have done as well or better than some others; it is ours to know that we've done all within our power. Every race as well as individual is held responsible for all opportunities that might come to it. We are held respon- good financial report. A fine sermon was delivered by Rev. R. L. Pope at 11 a. m. from Isaiah 52:1: "Awake Awake, put on the beautiful garments, O Jerusalem." Christ persuadeth the church to believe His free redemption. He defined a number of elements essential to the strength of the church. Loyalty to Bible truths, activity in service, fidelity in worship helps to strengthen the church. Rev. Pope also preached at 8 p. m. The special feature of our services was the day for the closing contest of our spring rally, which was a splendid financial success; although other reports are to be added. It was under the leadership of Mrs. J. C. Cowan, general and her captains representing the Relief Mrs. Abbie Williams, Whites, and Mrs. R. L. Pope, the blues. The contest closed with a reception on Monday evening; the winners were to be served with cake and cream; the others, cheese and crackers. A short program was held at the opening Rev. Pope introduced Dr. F. O Miller, who made a brief talk on the "Church Ten Years Ago, and the Present;" Prof. F. C. West of the Future Church, Ten Years Hence." Pleasing vocal solos were rendered by Miss Luverna Hall and The'ma Letcher. Afterwhich an announcement was made of the winning side with Mrs. Pore as leader of the Blues: Mrs. Cowan the Reds, 2nd and Whites with Mrs. Williams 3rd. Rev. Pope expressed his appreciation and thanks to the ladies who were deserving of much praise for their noble work; also the members and friends who so loyally assisted in bringing about such splen lid results. At the close all repaired to the dining salon and were served including those who were to partake of cheese and crackers to a bounteous supply of cake and cream. Salina, Kansas News. Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. attendance very good. The Rev. Mrs. Etta Scott preached a wonderful sermon to the young folks from Prov. 1:18 At 3 o'clock the Rev. Inyard, Osawatomie, preached the Thanksgiving Sermon to the K. and Daughters of Tabor. A very large audience witnessed the sermon. At 8 o'clock p. m., services were carried on by the Rev. Inyard, whose remarks were from the subject: Moses slaying the Egyptian; which was a wonderful message. Mission Circle held their afternoon meeting at church Wednesday. A very large attendance; three different books of the Bible were discussed: The book of Ruth by Mrs. John Finch; Pharaoh and the Children of Israel by Miss Daisy Hill; and Joshua entering the Promise Land by Mrs. Robert Hayes. Very encouraging remarks were made by the Rev. Mrs. E. Scott. sible for a full measure of service to the limit of our ability. It is up to every one to know his strength and do work that is commensurate with that stren'th Many may say that their abilities to do are too limited to amount to much; but remember, if these same individuals have lost any opportunities to learn or equip themselves to render service to society that would count, then their sins will find them out. It might be well to remind ourselves that in this connection the sin of omission and in gratitude which play a great part in the lives of Negroes, if continued in the future a. in the past, our group will continue to be the servant of all in the common sense of the word. The Negro wonders much about his condition. He does not think. He does not take the time to really meditate and determine upon a reasonable solution for his so-called problem. Its condition will always be as bad or even worse than at present if he doesn't begin a real systematic line of logical thinking. Any individual who thinks cannot be enslaved. He might be forced to serve for a season; but this service will not be filled with a spirit of content and willingness. The hand might be bound but the mind is moving in some distant clime in vigorous carch for freedom; and the master of the thinker is compelled to ever keep a watch over the subject. In the outset the Negro mentality was tampered with. His master strove to prove the superiority of the master and inferiority of slaves. This is one of the most critical periods in the life of the Negro. We realize, however, that few people consider its seriousness. The reason for the general lack of knowledge of this condition is evidently, that so few people think. When a people or an individual hasn't that energy or ability to think, he is only a cat's paw, a figure-head or a servant for one who does think. The person who does not think is in-a-way, like the lower animal; he always has the burden to bear. On the other hand, one who thinks uses his brain power, mixed together with a little physical power and does his work with little or no visible strain. So it can be understood that the reason for the Negro's hard times and troubles is due to the fact that he doesn't think. He simply wonders. Thus he is wandering his way thru life—lost—no definite place or destination in view. If the Negro is going to accomplish anything in life, he must get a new idea of life.

What a deep, interesting general theme it was our delight to study Sunday morning in Sunday School. Teachers and scholars are anxious to know more of Him and His will concerning mankind. There was indeed a "waiting congregation" assembled at 11 a.m., when the Scripture Lesson was read from the 24th division of Psalms. The Holy Spirit guided our minister as he brought a really God sent message, based upon the text and subject which follow: 1 Cor. 3:9; "Divine Partnership." In the B. Y. P. U., "Christ' Peace" was the topic it was our privilege and pleasure to study. What an expectant, happy, group listened to the Scripture Lesson read from the 2nd chapter of the 1st Epistle of Peter; verses 1-12, at 8 p. m. Then our minister, Rev. B. L. Marchant, preached an excellent sermon which should arouse Christians to a sense of their duties in Kingdom work. His text and subject follow, Matt. 11:2,3,4; "A Colt Tied." These are a few excerpts from that burning message. "The youth of today are likened to a colt tied where two ways meet. They know not which way to take. It is your duty to be prepared to tell them. Do not always criticize the young people and yet never give a remedy to help in their e'evation. What have you done to untie even one young person who stands tied where two roads diverge and who does not know which way to go?" Our Sick—Mrs. Bates is not improving rapidly. We are hoping for the best. Mrs. Elvira Winesberry has been indlapped. Mrs. Lottie Murray was able to worship with us Sunday. (Continued on page four) IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School Lesson (Bp REV P R FITZWATFR DD, Teachers of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (© 1924 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for June 22 REVIVAL UNDER EZRA AND NE- HENIAH LESSON TEXT—Neb 8.1-28; 12 1-8; 15-21. GOLDEN TEXT—"Return unto me and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts—"Mal 87 PRIMARY TOPIC—Learning From Gods Word INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Value of Bible Study YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Bible in the Life of a Nation. The lesson committee has designated this as reforms, but it was more than reform. It was a revival. It requires the quickening of God's spirit to induce man, especially a whole nation, to turn to God from their sins. This is a fine illustration of the rightful place of God's word in the life of a nation. I. The Word of God Being Read (Neh. 8:1:3) 1. The Eager Assembly (v. 1). The people gathered themselves together and spoke unto Ibram to bring the book of the law. The people with penning hants requested the readin of Gods Word. 2. A Representative Assembly (v. 2). It was made up of men, women and children. The men did not leave the spiritual affaits to the women, neither were the children left at home. 3. An Appreciative Assembly (v. 3) So eager were they to know Gods Word that they did not get tired, although the lessons lasted for five or six hours. Their ears were attentive from morning until midday. 4. The People's Attitude Toward Gods Word (Neh. 8:40). 1. Reverence Shown God's Word (vv. 4, 5) When Erra opened the Law, all the people stood up out of respect for God's Word. 2. They Joined Heartily in the Prayer. As Erra led them in prayer they joined heartily in saying, "Amen, Amen," bowing their faces to the ground. 3. God's Word Being Interpreted (Nch. 8:7, 8) The attitude of the people toward God's Word largely depends upon the minister. 1. He Stood Up Where the People Could See Him. (v. 5). 2. He Read Distinctly (v. 8). Much Bible reading is greatly to the discredit of the Word and the reader. 8. Caused the People to Understand the Reading (v. 8). The supreme business of the minister and teacher is to make the Word of God so plain that all-old and young—can understand. IV. The Effect of Applying God's Word to National Life (Neh. 8:9-19). 1. Conviction of Sin (v. 9). The Word of God is quick and powerful IIb. 4:12). It brings conviction of sin (Acts 2:37). God's method of convicting men of sin is to have His Word applied by the Holy Ghost. 2. Weeping Turned Into Joy (vv. 10 12). When sins have been perceived and confessed God would not have IIs children to be sad. Continued mourning will not atone for the sins that are past. It unfits one for present tasks and dishonors a pardoning God. 3. They Shared Their Blessings With Others (vv. 10 12). True joy manifests itself in giving to others. 6. Separation From the Ungodly (Neh. 13:1-3). As soon as they had heard the Word of God, they separated themselves from the mixed multitude. 6. The House of Worship Was Cleared and Order Restored (Neh 13:4-14). No nation can be strong which neglects its worship of the true God. 7. Restoration of the Sabbath (Neh 13:15-2). Israel had long violated the Sabbath. Unnumbered cells follow in the wake of Sabbath desecration. To ignore the essential law of the Sabbath is national suicide. B. Restoration of God's Law of Marriage (Neh 13:23 31). When those who had intermarried with the heathen were brought face to face with their sin, they separated themselves from their ungodly companions, because they could not have God's favor while living in disobedience to His Word. Pearls and the Soul "I like the laughter that opens the lips and the heart, that shows at the same time pearls and the soul."—Victor Hugo. Emporia News.

I voice of the people is one of the highest mark of a government best fitted to maintain the even tenor of progressive civilization and the failure of political powers to give due consideration to an expression of the voice of the people is one of the many signs of the many signs of political decay which in time must undermine the best of governments.
