K.1.E.I.SUMMER SCHOOL FOR LEADERS & CHRISTIAN WORKERS A GREAT SUCCESS --- The first week of the summer school for leaders and Christian workers, ended at the institute in a big 4th of July celebration after classes had convened for the morning session. At the close of the morning session, President, W. A. Bowren, of the Missionary Baptist Convention of the State of Kansas called a meeting of visiting members of the Convention, who were present. At this meeting, Rev. A. W. Ross made a report covering the work of the institute and praising its work, its teachers and its students. Rev. G. N. Jackson, of Lawrence, Kansas; Hon. H. I. Monroe of Topeka, and Dr. George McNeill of Kansas City, sponsored a resolution condemning any body who purposed to be representing the Missionary Baptists of the state of Kansas, and who claimed they may have authority from the Baptist of the State of Kansas, to in any way interfere with any of the workers at the said institute. Reports had come to the President that some one was trying to usurp the authority of the Convention which had not been delegated to them. All matters of such character as referred in the resolution were referred to the Baptist State Convention, which convenes in Coffeyville, on the first of October. --- At the Independence Day Celebration, the summer school students had their pictures taken, after which a barbecue was served to the satisfaction of all present.

WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1921 CENTRAL BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY TEN DAYS'S SUMMER SESSION AT TOPEKA, KANS --- The Summer assembly of the Kansas Theological Seminary convened in its 5th session on the campus of the Industrial and Educational Institute, Tuesday July 1-11 at 8 o'clock a.m., and will continue daily sessions with recreation periods. The menu is set up three times daily in the great dining hall, annexed to the girls dormitory, known properly as J. B. Larimer Hall, which was destroyed by fire one year ago, and recently reconstructed and re-arranged at a cost of $90,000.00 by the state of Kansas. So we find our seves at the seat of this great educational center, the K. I. E. I., not only for Kansas and the West, but the amelioration and bettering conditions throughout the entire nation, and to adjust the educational status to the requisites for the salvation of the church, nation, and world. To this end, ministers, Sunday School workers, Christian leaders, and home workers are flocking to attend this summer session from every quarter of the State, and from without. Timely and instructive lectures are delivered daily by Dr. W. A. Sharp, Dr. L. M. Denton, Dr. W. H. Young, Dr. J. W. Hayes, Rev. G. N. Jackson, and Mrs. F. B. Watson. Too much cannot be said for the high class management and clean administration as we find here among the high class officials of the Central Baptist Theological Seminary and the A. I. E. I. The spirit of unamity and co-operation prevails throughout. A bird's-eye-view gives us a group of magnificent buildings which seem to be augmenting into a little village, and outside of the residence of the teachers and faculty, all the mechanical and constructive genius may be found at work. All of these buildings are located on 120 acres of the most picturesque land in this part of the State. This is a spot blessed of God with its lovely and beautiful foliage just enough elevation to make it admirable, two miles East of the capitol. When once the public is aware of all the fine facilities that this place affords for an education, there is no reason why whatever, there should not be from four to five hundred students enrolled at the fall opening. Why leave kansas when every advantage is at the door. The unique counteries extended the delegation is without a parallel. This great progress is the outgrowth and stands as a monument to the untruring labor of the late Rev, J. H. Van Leu, who was the founder of the Central Baptist Theological Seminary which is located across from the campus of K. I. K., which affords two acres of the most beautiful and fertile soil we have looked upon. Ministers are finding the summer school indispensable to them in increasing their knowledge to combat and compete with the new problems of the church. Minsters and Christian workers should avail themselves of this great opportunity to equip themselves for the problems of the church and the issues of the day. Buildings—Larimer Hall is the dormitory for girls, with a dining hall, kitchen, an elaborate and well equipped laundry, etc., and an external heating plant. In addition to the girls dormitory there stands upon the campus, overlooking the city, the Administration Building, the Home Economics Buildings, the Mechanical Arts Building, the Boys Dormitory, a recently constructed hospital, a spacious barn, and five cottages for teachers. ARE YOU AWARE? That the older heads of today are gradually realizing their duties toward the youth? However, once in a while, ore may be seen exhibiting some of the old time ideas that demand young folk to "sheet up," regardless of their ability. That the Baptist of Kansas should feel proud of the two stalwart leaders of the State S. S. and B. Y. P. U. Conventions? Pro. Monroe, veteran, S. S. President and Bro. Sims newly elected B. Y. P. U., both have optimistic hopes and visions for the future of the work thru the young folk. Give the young folk a chance, guide, direct and encourage them and they will put over the great program for the development of affairs in this country. That haste makes waste, especially when one is not trained? First lesson to do the work and then practice for perfection and rapidity. We learn to do by doing. That some horses after they are trained will travel faster when you hold back on the lines but young poo Lecture Staff—Dr. J. T. Crawford, D. C. F. Matthews, Dr. L. K.

VERDICT OF THE JURORS WITHOUT A GUILTY PARTY. A careful hearing of the testimonies of the withes on the Morris Steemer Case before jurymen Dr. C. R. Price, Walter Wright, Wm. S. Johnston, Thomas Glover, R. C. Brown and Geo. Summers, revealed the fact that he came to his death by foul means; was killed before putting him in the water,—more likely by strangulation, by unknown parties. All testimonies were straight forward, but did not reach into the mysteries of the case. The big problem is to find the guilty man. Two of our best known and most reliable physicians, Dr. G. G. Brown and J. E. Farmer, testified the same thing in substance. Our lawyers with city attorney acting together were thoughtful in the examination. We can count on Attornies Fred C. Helm, J. A. Spears and B. H. Brown sticking as long as there is any hopes. Religious And Moral Training At The Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute. TOPEKA, KANS., July 10-While the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute is a State school like Manhattan, Kansas, Kansas University and Emporia, where religion, morality and truth are the fundamentals, so are these things the fundamentals at this institution. The students of the Institute have the opportunity of attending the best Sunday School that it is possible to have and on each Sabbath they listen to the best prepared sermons that it is possible for us to get. Os Sunday evenings, the Y, M, and Y, W., are conducted in their respective dormitories under supervision of the teachers. During the year we hold a week of prayer, at which we have from 20 to 30 converts. It is our aim to bring before our students the best talent in the country each year, thus furnishing not only entertainment but an education which leads them to seek nothing but the best. The young men are given weekly lectures on good manners and good morals by the Commandant and the young women are given lectures covering the general line of pure womanhood by Dean of Women. In the various meetings with the girls, the problem of the home and home makers is discussed. At our monthly socisis the young people have an unusual opportunity to intermingle with one another and learn to appreciate the company of each other, thus strengthening their social and moral life and make better men and women. The boys and girls are well chaperoned and supervised at all of our parties and socials. At our basketball and football games nothing but the best conduct is a lowed. As a result of this kind of training the graduates of this Institute have gone forth and deported themselves with great credit to the Race.

Jesus Tarrying Behind at Jeru- cm (vv. 41-43) At the age of twelve years the Jew- child took His place as a wor- ner in the temple. He was then soldered "a child of the law." Being schoos of His mission, when His father, and Joseph were returning in attendance at the Passover, Jesus fled behind in the temple and in- ward into the meaning of the ordi- ces of God's house.

VPU CONGRESS CHARLES STEWART (Continued from last issue) 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 far reaching in 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 ranks. In the afternoon the song service was conducted by Prof. E. W. D. Isaac, Jr., of Nashville, and was followed by prayer. "Christianity and Her Five Fundamental Facts," was the theme discussed by the Rev. Dr. L. T. Brown of Nashville, Teen. "Difference Between Covenant of Werka and Covenant of Grace," was discussed by Rev. A C. Capers, Sapulna, Okla. One of the most important subjects discussed was "our Education," by Dr. S. N. Vass of Nashville, Tenn. resolution offered by Dr. P. Jas. Bryant, of Atlanta, authorizing the appointment of a committee of 12 to bring in a statement of Baptists Belief and Practice for the Benefit of uncathodic churches, schools, teachers and Christian Workers, was unanimously adopted. Mrs. Virginia W. Broughton, one of the pioneer workers in the cause, was introduced and made a short address. She said that she represented the Women's Auxiliary Council and they were seeking light and information from her brethren. John L.

In the southland, the Negro boys were not welcomed into the scouts, therefore, the Baptists had organized the cadets, which meant the proper training of the boys, teaching them service, courtesy and poutines training them self-respect and at the e to property respect womanhood. and to the National Health Park, Hot Springs, and what the Negro was doing there to save life. He was given an ovation. He is determined to put over the great cadet organization, and he is also at the head th the laymen movement. This concluded the afternoon session. Wednesday evening the Congress opened with the song and prayer service, andolo by Miss Lethla Johnson of Texas. "Organized Class work," was the theme of an address delivered by the Rev. Dr. W. S.

He presided during the delivery of the annual address by Dr. D. W. Cannon. The address was a literary production and showed thought and preparation. Despite the fact that others and large opportunities for service, we are open to prepared young people, it is still affect the kingdom of God, in the spiritual import or that expression presents to them, their supreme chal engge calls to them for exercise of their highest attunities and powers.—That organized movement among the sons of men to make them Gouy is their conduct and Christlike in their thinking. The kingdom task is the one to which the youths of every land are called. I would have you understand kingdom task, the work of man to help me to the kingdom of God. It is to do whatever your hands rude to do that will contribute to the glorious end when the kingdom of God has in view. The greatest work of this Congress is represented by one word, training.' We need trained workers, oth for our B. Y. P. U. and Sunday school pork. I desire here to express appreciation our Sandy School vibhung Board, for securing for our young the expert service of Dr. S. V. Vass, and placed him in charge of the Dept., of Religious Education. Under his experienced leadership, the Sunday School Teachers and B. Y. B. U. officers have opportunity to more thoroughly equip themselves in the essentials of the science of religious ocation, and at the same time to secure a mastory of the details of the single narrative and its applications to the massive problems of life and service after thirty years of experience, Dr. Bass found no teachers' training book that fully met the requirements of our Negro Teachers and B. Y. P. U. Leaders. The chief complaint was that the existing books did not give enough consideration to the study of the Bible, itself as the divine message. Dr. Vass has written a special book for our Sunday School teachers that has received flattering notice from the highest Sunday School authorities of the country. I am proud that the first edition of the book "How to Study and Teach the Bible," has created such a favorable demand that it is almost entirely exhausted. The book is published by our own publishing house and all the money from its sales goes to our Sunday School Publishing Board. We are now in a condition to do high class work in teacher training, and we urge upon all our teachers and officers to correspond with Dr. Vass at the Sunday School Publishing Board and start at once upon a study with a view of inspire our workers to finish the course and take a diploma. in room, that a suitable medal be awarded that person in each state who makes the highest mark in our teachers training course under direct- during the ensuing Congress Year.

So crowded was the church and the streets Wednesday, that Dr. W. H.

DERHAPS if racial leaders would learn to give more definite attention to the particular object or purpose with which they are directly concerned in promoting racial work they would find a more responsive compliance to their specific leadership and work. The race is far to much advance to now feel that it has to depend upon any few certain forces or its entire guidance. This in tree age of the specialist in all lines of endeavor. Each local organization with its particu ar leaders engaged in putting over the work of that particular organization and it is possible that tangible results might be obtained more rapid y. THERE can be no blending of thought on matters touching the vast TRUTHS of GOD'S ETERNAL PRINCIPLES; There can be no accepting of compromise on matters touching the gories of God's ETERNAL LOVE and MERCY; There can be no compromising miutre of forces to bring about the great success of REDEMPTION. The CHRISTIAN CHURCH born out of the Righteousness of THE CHRIST PROGRAM alone must lead out free from every dissenting element towards the higher spheres of TRUTH in which the divine light of infinite knowledge will guide the world's weary souls into that sublime realm of happiness and life in which a little child shall lead them all. tear down the individual success of any member of the race. Thinkers fully appreciate the fact that in the intelligent mind of members of the other race there has been developed a sense of racial obligation which leads them to seek out their evil doers and removed from the flaming light of publicity make efforts to win them back to the pathway of honor and righteousness. Loud mouth gossipers overflowing with the filth of a diseased imagination; Sensational newspapers teeming with germs of hatred spit out by cowardly writers who safely hid behind bars of circumstances which forbid aggressive action are factors that may at anytime arrest the security of a race and bring on a reign of terror that will touch both the good and bad. THE race today stands well in need of 100 per cent Racial Manhood and Womanhood. There is an overflow of deceit and general lack of co-operative sympathy among leaders of the race which make certain the lack of that greater progressive movement of the entire race along religious and political lines that will be absolutely needed to advance the race to a position of world consideration. More honest to God plain speaking open door action by racial leaders; The great elimination of a leadership which reaches the fiery heights of its exalted greatness periodical and in steady regularity with every succeeding local or national political campaign; More men and women fitted by physical and mental constitution to assume the varied duties of racial leadership and tempered for such leadership by the forceful spiritual fires of God's Eternal Truth; More men and women who are daily catching the music of life's melody and playing the game according to the ordinary rules of fair play; Less playing for position and more local endeavor to stand for the great principles of the Christ without the secret desire for world applauses. These are essentials that it would be well for the jealous leaders of a race to appreciate before the masses of their race arise and remove them from FAIRCHILD BRO -SEE FOR EVERYTHIN PAINTS, OILS, STA FOR MONTH O 20 per cent Discou FAIRCHILD BROS.

The leadership of the Negro Race within the next two generation will have had to get far away from its unethical line of procedure which characterizes its attitude today on matters tucking the cide, political and religious welfare of the entire race. THE purpose of The Negro Star is to enter fully into the heat of the approaching campaign in the best interest of the race and government of the people by the people and for the people as the same is appreciated by the staff of the paper. The ABSOLUTE TRUTH and A FAIR DEAL FOR ALL MEN will be the political motto of the paper. No mud lingering no hair pulling without time to engage in battling with any force that cannot break free from all protective influences and come straight to the front in a fair fight. Conceding that all men have a right to their own personal conviction and opinion THE NEGRO STAR takes the FIELD as a 100 PER CENT REPUBLICAN PAPER with gun ready for the 1925 Campaign. THE best way to determine any man's fitness for a given position of honor and trust is to unite full racial support behind him and see if he has within himself the stuff to make good with racial co-operation at his back. The other mode is usually employed by the race. Lack of racial support has held many a colored man tied to a fourth and fifth grade place in life. What is the matter with giving your Colored Tradesman and Mechanic a chance as well as your other professional men and women? Their success is your racial success. UNDER a positive conservative leadership such as now holds the reins in Wichita The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People stands forth as one of the greatest agencies for the general advancement of the race in the country. Under a radical leadership it could at anytime become a menace. Calm deliberate thinkers who have had such training as will enable them to stand aside from passionate prejudice and UNCHRISTIAN attitudes together with an appreciative understanding of racial needs is the qualification for such leadership. The present leaders of the organization give indications of being the right men in the right place at the right time. WHY DID SHE DO IT? Another sorrowful question is being asked concerning Jennett Reed, a girl from a good family on Eagle. She was reared in S. S., and Church, but made a mistake in her marriage and began to forget her church and the Society which meant uplift; until it is a puzzle as to the part she played in the knocking unconscious Leon Anderson, taxi diver, who started with Geo. Benkley and her to El dorado. We can only wait the decision of the courts as her company and life mistifies our thoughts for a clear decision. We can only pray that this will be the last lesson of this kind for her and from now on she will make a fight for the path of righteousness, bring with her Geo. Benkley. ADAM WAS A NEGRO, SAYS BERLIN, GERMANY.—Paradise was located in Germany, and Adam was a brown-red Negro.
