S. program committee, assisted by BAPTISTS MAKE PROGRAM NATIONAL EXECUTIVE BOARD COMPLETES ITS WORK AT CINCINNATI, OHIO. CINCINNATTI, OHIO.—Announcement was made here this week that the Executive Board of the National baptist Convention finished the work of its program here last week. The meeting was presided over by Dr. John Edmond Wood, the President, and was attended by fully two hundred representative Baptist ministers from every section of the United States. Two full days were consumed in preparation for the work to be fully consumed at the coming National Convention to be held in Chicago Illinois, Sept. 10th to the 15th, and Dr. Wood, when seen here this week was enthusiastic over the prospects of an enlarged attendance and a great meeting. The report of the field work was made by Dr David E. Over of Denver, Colo., who had traversed the United States going from his Denver home as far West as the Pacific Coast, traversing the Pacific Coast from Sacramento, down to San Diego, thence into Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Illinois and into Ohio, to attend the Board meeting. His report of the conditions on prospects for those to attend the Chicago, meeting was one of the big features of the program and the meeting. Dr. Wood's emphasis of the budget that has been carefully outlined consumed much of the first day, but the final work of the big achievement was the making up of the program and the selecting of those to serve thereon for the five days they will be in session in the Chicago meeting. A special committee consisting of Rev. J. L. Harding of Tennessee, President John E. Wood and Dr. John H. Frank, the editor of the Union-Review, to see that the program is painted at once and circulated, was authorized and Dr. Wood is to issue the official call as soon as he reaches his office in Danville, Ky. The Corresponding Secretary of the Conventi n, Dr. S. S. Jones of Muskogee, is to immediately notify those who have been selected to serve. Mrs. Rosetta Ervin did their part and turned them over to the Supt., Sister Bettie Cooper, proceeded to have her finance committee little Charles Edward Nowling and little Miss Pauline Carter lift a collection which was good. Sunday night the Fifth Anniversary of Rev. J. A. Rucker's pastorate here was observed, and Mr. Clarence Austin got busy and saw a few of his followers and friends and presented Rev. Rucker $27.50 as an expression of his successful work in this city and community and for the race. Truly, Rev. Rucker is God's man who has put over a great program for the precious Lord. The beautiful basement—the lovely choir stand and the electric lights, second to none in Kansas, speaks for what he has done; they pinned dollar bill on a blue ribbon—27, and Mr. Clarence Austin laid them around his neck and made the presentation speech, speaking, fervently of the loyal labor given for this people, black and white of the entire city; and for his Christian deportment in this city as have been the means of lifting the standard for Christian ministers to go by—Look and take pattern. Salina Kansas News. Sunday School at usual hour and a very encouraging attendance. Pastor gave some encouraging remarks, with some new ideas gleaned during his travel, which if practiced will help. At 11 o'clock we witnessed an unusual good sermon from our pastor from the subject "Pride." Scripture lesson read from Isa. 26:6; from which he brought out some very clear explanations on the word pride. It implies haughtiness of mind, self conceit and pride is a diabolical sin of the world. Prov. 16:18. Pride FROM THE WINDY CITY CHICAGO, ILL. June 23.

M. E. Church. Subject for the afternoon was, "Behold a Greater than Solomon is here." Taken from St. Matthew 12:42. A very large audience witnessed the sermon which was very good. At 8 our pastor, Rev. S. A. Williams preached from the subject: "Humiliation, Against haughtiness." He explained to us how the different characters of the Bible such as Moses and Daniel, in regards to their suffering and sacrificing, triumphed in the end. This encouraged us. The Mission Circle was held on Wednesday afternoon at church with a fair attendance, regardless of the severe hot day. Our pastor made a special effort to reach home from his 3 weeks' touring trip throughout southern Kansas, to meet with us. We were very glad to hove him at home again.

"NEGRO SALVATION" (Continued from last issue) The Negro has a very definite part to play in the readjustment of affairs in this old world. The matter of changing conditions so they will be more pleasant is very largely in his own hands. He has the ability if he will only make up his mind to refrain from some of the frivo'oties in which he revels. He has the opportunity if he will only unselfishly grasp it. The solution to these termed race problem is nothing more nor less than a regeneration of race ideas and ideals. There must be an absolute surrender of the present day idol for those laid down for our guidance by the lowly Nazarene. His plan of salvation must be accepted in its entirety. Then, when the Negro lines up with the Spiritual plan of salvation, and not until then, he will soon find himself entirely out of this wildness of trouble and trial here on earth enjoying his place as man among men—saved, saved, enjoying a full measure of salvation here upon this earth. We are glad any time to receive suggestions from readers of R U AWARE? for improving its value. We are also pleased to have received so much helpful material for this column. TJANK U.

Miss Marie Mayberry, who were delegates to the S. S. Convention held at NutcMinson, last week. At 11:00 the text of the sermon by Rev. R. L. Pope, was from Nehemias 8:1 subject. "Bible In Life of Nation." "And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate. Of how the people spoke unto the Scribe Ezra, to bring the book of the law of Moses, told of the religious manner of reading and hearing the law. That the Bible is one of the greatest assets that can come to a nation, state or a people. A nation will fail and not prosper if the Bible is left out of their lives. We should study, know and keep God's Laws, it is our guide to Wisdom, a light to our pathway. Rev. Pope preached again at evening 8:00 p. m., the subject: "Asleep On The Job." In the afternoon at 3:00 p. m., the Annual Sermon and celebration of St. John's Day was held by the Masonic Lodges., On Tuesday evening at the Bible School Teachers Meeting, encouraging reports and excellent talks were made by Supt. F. C. Helm, Mesdames J. W. Thompson, Ruby Holbrook, and Almeda Brown, on echoes from the S. S. Convention. New Hope Baptist SUNDAY'S WORSHIP. "Reforms under Ezra and Nehemiah" was the subject so eagerly studied that the time seemed to have a winged flight to those in Sunday School June 22. We are receiving new scholars nearly every Sunday. Are you a new one or an old one either? If not, why not? The Scripture Lesson for the morning service was read from 2 Cor. 5:1-15. What a rare Gospel sermon was preached by our minister, Rev. B. L Marchant, Who used a text from 2d. Cor. 5:14, 15; subject: "The Love of Christ to Man." A large congregation was present. The greatest example was placed before the B. Y. P. U., in the topic used for their lesson, viz: "Jesus, the Soul Winner." The lesson should have caused many to make life decisions. The meeting was worth while. After the choir and congregation gave God praise in song, the Scripture for evening worship was read from the Twenty-second division of Psalm. Our pastor, used as a text I. Sam. 20.3; subject—"Watch Your Step." He preached a forceful, logical, spiritual sermon. Our Sick. Mrs. Fannie Bates continues to be quite ill. Miss Helon McAfee is somewhat indisposed this week. Dr. Price's mother is very sick. MISCELLANEOUS. Mr. and Mrs. Norwood also Mr. and Mrs. Gooch, who have been in our city several weeks visiting relatives and friends, have returned home to Arizona. Mrs., A. Pritchard is in Colorado Springs. Mrs. Arle Tittington and her grand daughter Katrina Dunn are now looking forward to visiting friends in Kalamazoo, Mich., soon. "Aunt Catherine" Brown or "mother Brown" as she was usually called is living in Parsons. She has been in the hospital, but has imposed in health and has been released from that institution. Sunday School was opened at 9:45. Supt. Bro. J. D. Wilson is always on duty. Many bright faces were present to learn of God's word. Our people are realizing that the Sunday School is the best place to go on Sunday, morning. They are also learning to appreciate nice comfortable places in which to meet and study God's Word, and to appreciate the value of good minister and teachers to teach the Word of God. A splendid review by the pastor. After the devotionals, Pastor selected for his text Matt. 22:5 He indeed delivered a wonderful message which was enjoyed. B. Y. P. U., at 6:30 with Bro. Van Winkle presiding. A splendid demonstration was giv- en by Miss Olga Crane. On Model B. Y. P. U. work assisted by Bro. E. Lewis which was enjoyed by all. Miss Crane is a young lady with a bright future. The B. Y. P. U. and S. S., are indeed proud of her as well as well as many of our boys and girls. The evening services were really spiritual feasts. Our pastor preached from Matt. 4:19; subject: "Fishing." He so beautifully outlined the things needed for fishing, both from a natural and spiritual point of view. Outlines as follows:—1st. Rod. Bible. It is true when we go fishing we first get a rod or pole; if we are to be fishers of men; we must first have the Bible, the Word of God, 2nd. Line. Prayer. Prayers of the righteous availeth much. 3rd. Hook. Faith. 4th. Balt. Love. 5th. Reel. Commonsense. 6th. Hand Net. The Church he indeed preached a soul stirring sermon. Our hearts rejoiced to receive such wonderful message. At the close, one came forward and united with us. We thank God that He is adding to His Church daily such as would be saved. Appointments are as usual. We welcome visitors at all times. Tabernacle Baptist 11:00 o'clock service began promptly at 11:00 o'clock. Attendance good Song and Prayer. Elder Jno. J. Summers read for the opening lesson St. John 16th chapter and took for his text the 7th verse. He preached a powerful sermon. He was called back for night service. The service was full of life. Closed by singing: "God Bs With You 'til We Meet Again." Night service 8:30, began with song and prayer. Attendance good, Rev. McIlveen read the evening lesson Acts 10th chapter. Elder J. J. Summers took his text from the same chapter and 34 verse. The sermon was forceful and well masted. The congregation enjoyed it. Rev. McIlveen will preach next Sunday at 11:00 o'clock and night. PROPOSAL FOR NEW Y.M.C.A. BUILDING PROPOSAL FOR NEW Y.M.C.A. BUILDING FOR COLORED MEN AND BOYS. That Faith and Hard Work are always rewarded, was fully evidenced, on Sunday, June 22; at a Men's Meeting, held at St. Taul's Church at the close of the Masonic Service. Mr. A. A. Ii jde, God's Great Noblemen of Wichita, was presented, and spoke, with a great of fervor, of "The Things of the Kingdom;" and how he had given his best in service and means, that Christ Kingdom might fully come upon the Earth, and Christian Brotherhood be a living reality. He then spoke in the highest terms of the work that has been accomplished, and the influence exerted by the Water Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A., under the leadership of our most worthy Secretary, during the three years he has been in this Community. He spoke of his own interest in the Colored work, and his willingness to help. And also, he expressed the hope that a larger number of men of wealth, world seek the joy that comes from sharing their wealth with others. In closing, Mr. Hyde made an offer of $5,000 towards a new Building, on condition that the same not cost over $25,000 and that the White Citizens give $12,500 00 and the Colored People of the City give the rest. Mr. Hutcherson made a brief response to Mr. Hyde's presentation and told in a very pleasing manner of the work accomplished, even under limited facilities. And expressed the belief that a real constructive program could be put over with the proposed building. He spoke of the influence upon the High School Boys. "These things shall be— A loftier race then eer the world has known shall rise With flame of freedom in their souls And Light of Knowledge in their eyes. Nation with nation, land with land. Unarmed shall live as comrades free And every heart and soul shall throb With the pulse of one fraternity;* BIG SUMMER SCHOOL FOR CHRISTIANS LEADERS AND WORKERS JULY 1 TO JULY 12, 1924 Kansas Industrial & Educational Institute, Topeka, Kansas. 200 Expected to Attend..

Sunday School Lesson JBP REV P B FITZWATER, DD, Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) ©, 1934, Western Newspaper Uniog) Lesson for June 29 REVIEW—REHOBOAM TO NEHEMIAH GOLDEN TEXT—"Righteousness exaleth a nation but sin is a reproach to any people."—Prov. 14.34. PRIMARY TOPIC—Selected Stories of the Quarter JUNIOR TOPIC—Main Events of the Quarter. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Chief Persons of the Quarter. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—From Rebhoboam to Nehemiah. Three methods of review are suggested: 1. Modern Application of the Outstanding Teachings of the Quarter's Lessons. For adult classes qualified members may be asked a week ahead to present the teachings of the quarter along the following lines: 1. Patriotism. It should be pointed out how the nation suffered and was utterly ruined because of the lack of patriotism. 2. The need of real education. Because the people were not taught about God they went into idolatry. The real need of the nations of the world today is to be taught about God. 8. Evils which afflict society, such as luxurious indulgence, tampering with the occult, necromancy, etc. 11. Biographical. This method is always interesting and can be adapted to all grades. The most outstanding men in the history of Israel and Judah appeared in this quarter's lessons, namely, Rehoobam, Jeroboam, Ahab, Ellijah, Ellisha, Amos, Hosea, Athaliah, Hezekiah, Isalah, Jeremiah, Nehemlah, etc. These can be assigned to different members of the class the previous week to present the outstanding lessons associated with each character. 11. The Summary Method. This means pointing out the central teaching of each lesson. The following suggestions to that end are offered: Lesson 1. The kingdom so gloriously administered in David's time reached its climax under Solomon, but because his heart was turned from God through the influence of his heathen wives God determined that the kingdom would be rent from him. Rehoboom's wicked stupidity in refusing the counsel of experienced men caused the work of two generations to be undone in a moment. Lesson 2. Elijah's struggle with Baal proves that the Lord is the true God and that because He does respond when called upon in sincerity He alone is entitled to be worshiped. Lesson 3. The proof that Elisha was chosen by God to succeed Elijah was that his anointing of the Spirit was discernible by the sons of the prophets and that he did similar and even greater works than Elijah. Lesson 4. Those who give themselves up to the practice of sin will ultimately come to ruin. The wages of sin is death. Lesson 5. Israel went into exile because of her sins, according to God's announcement through Amos. God's word cannot fall. Lesson 6. In spite of Athallah's wicked purpose to destroy the seed royal, Joash of Messiah's line was preserved and elevated to the throne. No purpose of God can eventually fail. Lesson 7. Hezekiah, when threatened by the Assyrians, resorted to God's house and sought the prophet of God. God's house is the sure resort of His people when in distress and his ministers are best qualified to give help. Lesson 8. Because Jeremiah faithfully declared God's word, God delivered him from his enemies. Lesson 9. Judah, like Israel, went into captivity because of her sins. God never forgets the faithful ones nor falls to punish the wicked. Lesson 10. Though Israel's leaders failed, and their failure involved the nation in ruin, the Good Shepherd will eventually come and deliver them and exalt them to their proper place among the nations. Lesson 11. When the period of the captivity was fulfilled God caused a remnant to return. God never forgets. He can even move the heart of a heathen king to fulfill His purpose. Lesson 12. Through the reading of God's Word the people were revived and they put away their sins. The only way to bring a revival in righteous living is to bring the people to know God. Rejecting the Truth Has God predestinated some to be lost? Certainly not. There is no such thought in Scripture. The reason why some perish is their own deliberate rejection of the truth. "Because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved." Will Not Accept God will not accept the olly words of new thought for the sacrifice and atonement of Christ.-The Living Word. A controversy with one who preaches the word of God, is with God—not the preacher.—The Living Word. Christian Life The Christian life is not knowing or hearing, but doing.—F. W. Robertson. A. B.
