Steemer, one of the Organizers, Charter Members, and the first Commander of our post, has answered the final "Roll Call." It is ever sadly difficult at a time like this to put the soul's emotion into intelligent form. When the heart bleeds and sorrow's tears well up within one like an inexhaustable fountain he reaches out in vain among a confusion of words, words, words! Only a moment's surcause from the anguish of the hour enables us to lift up our eyes unto the hills and stand with reverence before the throne of the Alpha and the Omega of all our experiences. To be staggared by the shockingly sudden and mysterious death of our friend and Comrade is our immediate experience. We, the members of Arthur Gossett Post and the Post Auxiliary can never forget Morris Steenman. Have not the word "Comrade," so freely used by him, been graven deeply upon our hearts in letters that neither fade nor corrode. His willingness to make a personal sacrifice to serve his Comrades and friends; his Big hearted Sympathy and loyalty to his Country are traits of his, well known to all who shared his friendship. To have him present, when philanthropic old alone would solve a problem or meet a need, and witness the unveil/fishness with which he bestowed his worldly goods; to observe his natural tenderness and consummate interest in his family circle; to slush with him through the muddy camps of America or to crawl through the drencling rain of bloody hell-fire across the groaring fields of France are also among the impressions which come like sweet smelling savor to our rememberances., and therein is our comfort today. For He made us happy while he lived Tyler accompanied them to Emporis, and attended the rally at the A. M. E. Church, Rev. Everett, pastor. Mr. R. Penning, wife and mother, Mrs. Lowrey motored to Council Grove. Tuesday to do some shopping. Mrs. E. Morris is expecting her cousin, Mrs. Paul Hale of K. C. Mo., who will spend a few days with her and will visit her mother, Mrs. Williams. Mr. Mark Essex was down to visit his wife, Mrs. Ora Essex, at Emporis, Saturday and Sunday. FRIDAY, July 4, 1921.

Y.P.U.CONGRESS CHARLES STEWART CLEVELAND, OHIO, June 18-22 The Nineteenth Annual Session of the National Baptist Sunday School and Baptist Young People's Union Congress has passed into history as one of the greatest sessions in history of the organization, and for teaching its influence and helpfulness to the young people and all others who were fortunate enough to attend. A wonderful impression was made on the people of Ohio, and many readily joined in the parks. The sessions of the Congress were held in the Zion Hill Baptist Church, the Rev. Dr. C. C. Aller, pastor, and the people were courteous and senting were anxious to make it pleasant for all who attended, and people were here by the thousands. It was perhaps the largest delegation. The departmental meetings were helpful. Also every station in the Union was represented, and the Omaha, Nebraska Bumingham, Ala., and several other places are asking for the next annual session, which will be decided the meeting of the Executive Board the National Baptist Convention The opening song and player races were conducted by the Rev Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, and Prof. E. W. D. Isaac, Jr., with Mrs. L. E. Campbell at the piano. One of the most interesting features of the entire session was the song service, by a chorus of fifty voices. The Rev. Dr. R. L. Bradby of Detroit, Mick. In calling the Congress to order, the Rev. Dr. D. W. Cannon, president made a short address in which he said he was delighted to see such a large delegation present, representing all parts of the country "We are all thankful to God," to be here today, and to see each other. We come here to work, and to receive in inspiration to do even more and greater things for our people. I am glad to see you here. We will now turn attention to the addresses of welcome." Councillor T. H. Fleming was t deliver the first address of welcome and his inability to be present, was represented by his wife, who is a public spirited woman, and an able speaker. Following her address the Chorus sang: "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name," and the next welcome was delivered by the Rev. Dr. L. H. Brown of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. He was followed by Attorney B. George, who represented the citizens, and then followed the Rev. Dr. C. R. Jones, who represented the Baptists in words of welcome. Rev. C. C. Aller, turned over to the president of the Convention on the keys of the church, and assured them that all the people of Cleveland, were pleased to have the Congress meet in the city. He said that the keys which he turned over would also unlock the hearts of the people. All doors were opened. The Congress were lifted heavenward, so to speak by the singing of the welcome chorus, prebared by Miss him "Taps" has sounded; like a good Soldier, tried and true, he died with his boots on. He has left to us a record, first as a soldier in the Regular Army, in the 21st United States Infantry, any then in the great World War, that is worthy of our emulation. Peace to his achles. So when, at eventide, the fray is done, The soul to Death's bedchamber do And give, be the field lost or won, We respectfully submit a copy of these resolutions to the Press, send a Copy to the family, and place the Memorial Copy upon the records of our Post.

He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth and two brothers of DcSota, Mo. The Citizens Undertaking Co., in Charge, HIS DEATH A MYSTERY TO ALL. How Mr. Morris Steeamer met his death is a mystery to all. His car was taken from the Little Arkansas River Thursday morning, June 26, 1924 and his body was taken out Saturday, June 28, which showed that it was killed before it was put in. Now, who did the deed is a puzzle, when you have played too many hands you leave the way so confused until no straight course can be pursued. We feel that anyone who commits crimes should be punished, but when you have so careless lived your life, that the under world and the best society both are wishing your removal, it is hard to tell, who made the first step. A man should be a man, kind, tim, honest and truthful, forgetting at no time the Master's call to Ligher and nobler things. He was a business young man and knew the game of life when it same to shifting for the Dollar. He married one of Wichita's best girls and the whole city is hurt over the cruel and mysterious death. It is the one wish of all the right thinking citizens, especially his friends that some day the truth "will out."

Sunday School Lesson (By REV P B FITZWATER DD, Dean of the Evening School Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (Q. 1984, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for July G LESSON TEXT—Luke 2 7:20 GOLDEN TLAT—For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Favior which is Christ the Lord" Lake F 11. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Baby Jesus JUNIOR TOPIC What the Shepherds Saw and Heard INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Greatest Event in the World's History YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC Great Hopes Centered in the Birth of Christ. I. Jesus' Birth Foretold (Milch 5:2). This prediction was made some 700 years before. God moved the emperor to enforce the decree of taxation just in time to cause Mary to be at Balthiehem. II. Jesus' Birth Announced to Mary and Joseph (Luke 1:26-39). The mighty archangel Gabriel was sent by God to the little town of Nazareth to Mary, a Jewish mallard, who was betrothed to a carpenter of that village by the name of Joseph, solemnly announcing that she should give birth to the Messiah and that this son should not be Joseph's son but should be the child of the Holy Ghost (Matt. 1:18 21). Later the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph, also, making the same announcement to him, and added that the child should be called Jesus which means that Jehovah will save His people from their sins (Matt 1:21). III. The Prediction Fulfilled (v. 7). This took place at a most propitious time. The Jews were under the power of the Romans. Not only did the birth of Christ occur when all systems of religion and morality were tottering upon their foundations but at a time most suitable for the introduction of the Gospel. The whole world being under one rule made it possible for Christ's ministers to go from city to city and country to country unmoved ed. The Almighty rules in the whole universe and is never behind in this administration. The surroundings of Christ at illi birth were of a humble sort. The Eternal God condemned to be in corporated with humanity—to be born in a manger, becoming the poorest of the poor that none might be hindered in coming unto Illm. IV. Christ's Birth Announced (vv. 8-14). 1. By Whom? The first Gospel sermon was preached by an angel of the Lord. Thus we see that the exalted ministers of God were interested in men and had part in the announcement of God's plan of salvation. 2. To Whom! His birth was an nounced to the shepherds who were keeping watch over their flocks by night. The fact that the glorious Gospel message was first sounded forth to them shows that poverty is no barrier to its reception. God does not reveal Himself primarily to the princes and great men of the earth, but often times conceals from such and discloses to the poor. (James 2:5). 8. The Nature of the Message. It was good tidings of great joy. It was good tidings because the darkness of heathendom, which had so long covered the earth, was beginning to vanish. The casting out of Sutan, the prince of this world, was about to take place. Liberty was soon to be proclaimed to those who were in bond age. The way of salvation was to be open to all. No longer was the knowledge of God to be confined to the Jews, but offered to the whole world Glorious news this. So glorious that a multitude of the heavenly host accompanied this announcement with their song of praise. Thus we see that the first Gospel sermon was in the open air. The minister was the angel of God, the choir were the angels, the audience made up of humble shepherds. V. The Shepherds Investigating (vv 15, 16). They did not stop to argue or raise questions, though these things were no doubt passing strange to them. They went immediately to Bethlehem, where they made an investigation and found everything just as represented. They had the privilege of first gazing upon the world's Savior, the very Lord of glory. They returned with gratitude in their hearts, praising God for all those wonderful things which He had revealed unto them. VI. The Shepherds Witnessing (vv. 17-20). They found things as announced. When they heheld the Lord of glory they could not remain silent. Therefore, they went back praising God. Those who really hear the Gospel message cannot be silent. If they really hear they must tell it out to others. Our Needs The needs for the present are more important to most people than the need and preparation for eternity.— The Living Word. Works of the flesh are of no worth with God, because the "flesh profiteeth nothing."—The Living Word. The Grace of God The grace of God is not the back-siding kind.—The Living Word. Eldorado Kansas.

Doug- las shoes GO to church Sunday, the pastor has a message that will fit your case and God has promised what He anxious to fulfill. AT Cleveland, Ohio, last week past into history one of the greatest Congresses in the history of the Negro Baptists of America. We shall begin a full report in this issue. It is a place where every worker should go; if you mean to keep pace with the time. THERE are too many things disgraceful things happening by the misconduct of both races. There is a low element, who will bring on a stain of the city that will ruin the relation between the race forever. The best citizens should at once investigate and provide means and ways to avoid or check somethings, that we know are not right nor pleasant to either race. Somebody must take a stand to safeguard the future of this city and it should be done now. It is so foolish for children to play with snakes, when there is not a remedy in their power to cure the bite. ALL indications point to Wichita as the city which will have the honor of entertaining members of The National Baptist Sunday School and Baptist Young People's Union Congress in 1925. This organization which will bring to the state and city over two thousand of the leading Sunday School and B. Y. P. U., Workers of the country has established a reputation throut the country on the nature of its Congress from a religious and educational point of view and the people of Wichita ought to be proud of an opportunity to welcome the organization to Wichita "The THERE were much thundering in the Republican Meeting, Cleveland, O., and more thundering in the Democrat Meeting now goin on in New York and there are thousands of American citizens, who have not heard a single row. They will pass it all unnoticed until citizens prepared with ballots in hand, shall close every door then you will wake up to find that your privileges are all gone and you are the mercy of the ones, who thought enough of themselves, the future of their children and the advance safeguarding of the American government, to vote what they thought best or what they thought would keep you tied. You have until July 20, and if you fail to go down to the CITY HALL and register, you are guilty of treason to your country and should have a trial by the moral law of your race, even if the civil law does not handle you. WILL YOU GO TO DAY AND REGISTER? REGISTER and vote not according to the better expressed sentiments of some selfish politician but in accord with the dictates of your own good mind after rational thought free from the narrow incentive of personal jealousy. The time has come when it is highly essential to the progress of the race that it refuse to follow the cheap advice of leaders no more fitted to advise than are these to whom they offer advice touching upon the policies best conducive to the political success of the race. The time is here when the race must establish the fact that it is a force within itself to determine the ordinary course of the Ship of State in as far as the welfare of the race may be concerned. A failure to RCG- ISTER and VOTE on the part of any, merely, means one less influence to promote the interests of the race in the city, state and country. REGISTER and VOTE your duty as an AMERICAN CITIZEN demand as much; Your obligation to future postarity; The apparent trend of the times in the industrial and political world, the definite assurance of the full measure of law in the interest of the general security of your race demands that you register and vote.

Pope at 11 a.m., was from general Epistle of James 3.6, "And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity; so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body." The subject was, 'The Tongue.' We are not rashly or arrogantly to reprove others; but rather to bridle' the tongue, a little member, but a powerful instrument of much good, and great harm. They who be truly wise be mild and peaceable without envy and Strife and of the importance of training the tongue to use for the glory of God.
