The Southwestern District Association and Auxiliaries will meet Aug. 12 to 17, with the Calvary Baptist Church, Wichita, Kansas. Ample arrangements are being made for the occasion.

One Dollar ($1.25) and Twenty-five Cents per member, annually is the requirement. (This includes what is given by church and auxiliaries.) May I suggest that a committee be appointed to collect this money. That will enable each church to meet its obligations to our work. Remember our district is expected to give $1500 for State Work.

(Preston News Service) WASHINGTON. D. C., July 17- Appointment of Dr. Joseph H. Ward of Indianapolis, as medical officer in charge of the United States Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., confirmed Thursday at the Veteran's Bruean places the institution in charge of an entire Negro staff for the first time since the opening. Dr. Ward, who attained the rank of major, the highest commission gain ed by a Negro in the World War, succeeds Dr. Charles M. Griffith, white who comes to the Bureau's central office here. The appointment of Dr. Ward, medical division officials said, is in line with the policy of placing Negroes or the hospital's staff as fast as competent men could be obtained. The staff at first was made up entirely of white physicians and attendants and it has been gradually replaced until now the whole personnel consists of Negroes Dr. Griffith will remain at Tuskegee until Dr. Ward, who now is acting officer in charge, becomes sufficiently qualified to act alone. St. Paul Notes. Our pastor Rev. P. V. Pope and Rev. J. T. Smith of Hutchison, exchanged pulpit Sunday. At 11 a.m. Rev. Smith delivered an able sermon. Men's day was observed as a special feature of the service. His subject: "I will draw all men unto me." "And if I be lifted up from the earth will draw all men unto me." He spoke of the Kingdom of Christ established in the hearts of men. The prophecy of Jesus has been fulfilled in drawing the world. His life was held as a divine symbol of power and love. Rev Smith was also present at the session of our S. S., at 9 45's. m. We were pleased to have Rev. Smith, with us, who was a former pastor of our church. He made a good talk, also expressing his delight of the progress made. There was an enrollment of several new scholars. In the afternoon at 3 o'clock a lecture, subject: "Scolg Your Urth right;" was delivered by Dr. C. N. Grandison of Chicago, to the men.

ENGLAND'S KING GREETS ETHIOPIAN REGENT IN SPLENDOR ENGLAND'S KING GREETS ETHIOPIAN REGENT IN SPLENDOR LONDON, ENG., July 17—Ras Taffari. Prince Regent of Ethiopia, was received last Thursday by King George escort of life guards and gentlemen at arms, were sent to escort the Ethiopian Prince to the palace, in one of the state coaches, where he was formally welcomed. Prince Ras Taffari and his suite are attracting admirable attention wherever they go among Europeans because of the dignity of their bearing, and the marked interest they show in inventions, arts, etc., but never show any excitement. They manifest fully that they are thoroughly modern in ideas and ideals and give out the impression they desire to secure the beet there is modern civilization for their own country. American tourists. It is said, appear to be attracted to observe the Ethiopians on account of the picturesqueness of their dress. New Hope Baptist "The Boyhood of Jesus"—What an exemplary General Theme for Sunday School Classes. The Primary and Beginner Classes were taught the story of Naaman's being cleansed of the Leprosy. The teachers are giving themselves to this work and look for ward for great results in His name. The Scripture Lesson at eleven, was read from Isaiah 52.1-0. What a wonderfully, searching, spiritual sermon was preached at that hour by our minister, Rev. B. L. Marchant. The fell lowing text and subject were used: judges 5.16. "Living in the sheep fold." Among other things he said, "God needs men and women who do not fear to do right and speak out against wrong. Those who fear to take a stand and those who plead neutrality on vital questions are 'living in the sheepfold.'" "Love of popularity shouldn't make one remain in the sheepfold." The B. Y. P. U., groups finished or organization at their meeting. They are lively and happy while holding their meeting. We hope to keep this exuberant, youthful energy in the right channel. At 8 o'clock, Rev. M. T. Jackson read a Scripture Lesson from the 11th division of Psalms, Rev. B. L. Marchant, our pastor, taking a text from Luke 4:28, using as a subject "The Law of Consequences," preached a Gospel sermon whose note of warning should be heeded by all. Our Sicki—Mrs. Agnes Williams I quite ill at her home on Wabash Ave. Mrs. Stella Estell is very sick at her home on Cleveland Avenue. Miscellaneous-Last Thursday night, the closing exercises and the exhibition of the Daily Vacation Bible School were held at our church. The entire program showed that teachers and scholars had been engaged in real work. The following medals were awarded in the hymn contest: The gold medal was received Eldora Love the silver medal by Jewel Jones and the bronze medal by Thelma Parks. The needlework, drawing, paper cutting and manual training training work were good. The book racks on our church seats were made by our annual training boys. The Bible drill was excellent. Names of teachers and assistant teachers follow—Mrs. Pearl Robinson, Mrs. Emma Peterson, Mrs. Emma Peterson, Mrs. Sarah Fishback, Mrs Bailey, Mrs. Ann Barnett, Misses Neola Parks, and R. K. Brandon. Sunday night, Mrs. Ida Frazier Bates departed for Des Moines, Iowa, to attend the Couvention of the Western States Convention of the (Women's Department) of which she is president. We are praying for the success of the meeting. If obstacles do not hinder, our minister will attend this great Convention II has been invited to preach the Educational Sermon. Cherryvale News Notes. Services were good all day Sunday at Bathichem; Sunday School good, with all officers present on time, we are working for the Master. Pastor took his text at 11 from the subject: "Watch Your Steps" 1 Sam. 20.3. B. Y. P. U., at 6 o'clock; Sunday ARE YOU AWARE? That the constant dripping of the rain will finally wear away a stone. Likewise, the continuous pegging away at the problems of life which often perplex us, will bring to our minds a fitting solution or a most gratifying remedy for all our ills? We must realize, however, that to be everlastingly driving in one direction without a definite object in view, without any thought of accomplishing something definite, we might be as well to stand still; for as an auto with no driver, or a moving train with no engineer would be destructive in its course, so is man without a purpose also destructive, not only to himself but to society of which he is a part. That if a human being would allow his mentality (that is, if it is normal) to be his engineer, his guide, he would accomplish something that is tangible to a great life? That the adult thinkers of today are thinking in terms of young people's development? Are our leaders in the National Work of our churches living their lives for the young generation, rather, are they spending their energies to fit the young for the work of tomorrow? Are they doing what they can toward giving the young man a chance? Or do they stand in the way with antiquated methods and dogmatic views of things and demand the positions of monarch of all they survey? These egotistic, pessimistic, dogmatic-dog-on-the-hay men and women who are posing as the genuine leader, ship of today, must wake up (for they are asleep on the job) and start another line of activity which will prevent so many of our young people going astray. It is rather hard to say that our so-called Christian leaders are diverting the minds of our boys and girls from the real elements of life, but it is in a measure true just the same. If you fail to give a youth a chance to do something which would ultimately save and make of him a great asset to the community and the kingdom, you have destroyed him. Perhaps unwittingly, but, because self stands out so prominently, you sometimes can not see any one else. So in this case the sins of omission are playing havoc upon the cream of the race, and also the soul of the transgressor. Here is the great question with me (and it should be on the minds of every one who has the future of the race at heart) What am I doing, by was Ever Loyal's day to render program; which was very good. Pastor Wm. Thomas took for his text at 8:20 p. m., from the subject: "The Results of a good time;" Gen. 6:5. The Mission Circle met Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 at the church, opened by president Sister Clara Daniels. The house was then open for business, at this time money was allowed for the Association which convenes at Parsons, next week. Young people are holding up their prayer meeting every Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. Some of the main officials of the N. A. A. C. P. of Coffeyville, were here Friday night in behalf of our people. We listened to some very interesting talks that should be borne in mind. A silver offering was given them. The clubs are very busy at work; Club No. 4 gave a toe entertainment Wednesday night, July 5th. Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Landis. Janie Middleton and Wm. Bryant motored to Moorehead. Sunday afternoon at the home of Mr. Miller and daughter, Nellie, the trip was enjoined. Mrs. Ruth Wheaton spent Sunday at Independence, with her sister, Mrs. Beulah Tolber. Rev. J. S. King returned home, Friday, from Torcka, where he attended Bible School. Mrs. Hattie Smith left eary Sunday morning for Kansas City, to see her son, Mr. James Smith. Miss Texanna Russaw of Independence, is spending the week with her father and brothers. Eat at Landis' Cafe, W. Main St. See Pig Ear Smith for a real good lunch; hours 8:30 to 22, corner Main and Neoho Streets. Mr. James Greene has purchased a new Ford Sedan. The good rain were very much appreciated. Mrs. Owens and children are away visiting relatives in parts of Arkansas. Five Cents Per Copy MORRIS BROWN COLLEGE PLANS BIG CAMPAIGN MORRIS BROWN COLLEGE PLANS BIG CAMPAIGN ATLANTA, GA., July 18—A campaign to raise an endowment of $75,000 was authorized by the trustees of Morris Brown College in session her last Monday, it has beer announced The fund is needed to pay off the indebtedness brought about by the departure from Georgia of more than 50,000 members of the A. M. B Church, which finance the college, it was stated. Every alumus and undergraduate is asked to contribute $40,000 to the fund. The campaign committee includes Rev. John Harmon. L. W Townsley, C. A. Wingfield, and Dr J. W Linder. Prof C. LHarper I president of the alumni and Dr. John H. Lewis is president of Morris Brown College. St. Mary Baptist Notes In spite of the intense heat, we has good attendance, and good service throughout the day. Sunday School was very largely attended; many bright faces, eager to hear abut "The Boyhood of Jesus." Much interest was manifested. At 11.39 pastor Douglass selected for his text Luke 2:52; "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favour with God and man;" from which he preached a strong, spiritual sermon. We feel to believe that all who listen ed to it, were benefitted. A number of visitors were present among whom was Dr. H. N. Sims brother of our editor H. T. Sims, who made some very timely remarks at the close of the service. Visitors are well come in our midst. B. Y. P. L., at 9:30. Good attendance; splendid program rendered, Sister J. D. Wilson in charge. Sister Douglass has returned from summer school at Topeka, and made a splendid talk on "The 18 articles of faith." Also gave us a faint idea of her work in school, of the inspiration gained. The pastor was all smiles throut the day. At the evening services, we listened to a splendid sermon by Bro. J. D. Wilson, our young minister, from John 15.5; subject: "Jesus is the vine, ye are the branches." All present enjoyed the message. We bid him God a spere in the Gospel. Usual announcements. Weekly entertainment each Friday evening: everybody invited to come out and have a social mix up with us. BASE BALL FIELD OPEN TO OUR BOYS ON NINTH STREET AND MOSLEY AVENUE Any Group of Colored Boys desi- ling to use this field may do so by lea- ging their request with Captian Hutch- erson, Secretary, Water Street Branch Y, M. C. A., and having a date an- hour assigned them. The Water S Branch has reservations for two afte- noons and two evenings each week. This Park is controlled by the City. using personal and selfish devices and schemes, to offset the needed pro- gress of the work and the develop- ment of those who must lead in the near future. Yes, the young today must naturally be the old of tomorrow. All they are going to naturally lead. They may be into the ditch, but they are going to lead just the same. It up to the leaders of today, every one to have some understudies, some one who can take their places when they are promoted. So the conclusion of the matter that if this work of reclaiming the world and the affairs of the world is to continue growing, if it is to develop to its highest possibilities, all those characteristics so indicative egolism, must be eliminated from the lives of our leadership. What do you say? Are you thinking? I truly hope these few lines will find or leave you thinking. Let us hear from you soon. Thank you.
