He won and deserved the confidence of the Negroes by his untiring efforts to promote their profession education, his gained the respect and approval of white people all over the land by his fidelity to the task to which he devoted his long useful life.

Moton President of the National Negro B was Thursday night, August 21st at t invention "August 14, 1924. My dear Mr. Moton: The approaching Annual Convention of the National Negro Business of particular interest and note be cause it will mark the quarter centennial of this organization. In addressing to you, for the Convention, my festivities and, good wishes on this occasion. I wish particularly to pay tribute, to the League's zouno and your distinguished predecessor the late Booker T. Washington. His vision of the problems of the colored people was indeed that of a seer, an your League is one of the monument to his life work. Only a few, weeks ago, I had the pleasure, at the Commencement of Howard University, of reviewing briefly, and inadequately the material evidences of the progress of the colored people. I shall not now recitate what was then said, but I wish to tell you of the deep impression that was made upon me by my studies of the Negro race's achievements. In the accumulation of wealth, establishment of material independence and the assumption of a full and honorable part in the economic life of the Nation. It may fairly be said that the colored people themselves have already substantially solved these prerequis of their problem. If they will but go forward along the lines of their progress in recent decades, and under such leadership as your own and many others among their excellent organizations are affording, their future would be well cared for. That they may continue in this way of advancement cannot be doubted by any one who knows their accomplishments heretofore. They will continue their efforts for educational progress and spiritual betterment; and just as they demonstrate their eagerness for such improvement, they will find themselves enjoying a constantly greater and greater support and sympathy at the hands of the whole community. As to the political status and future of the colored people, I cannot better present my views than by quoting from a letter which I wrote a few days age to a correspondent who had sought to enlist my influence against having a cooled man become a candidate for a Congressional nomination. In reply, among other things, I said: "The suggestion of denying any measure of their full political rights to such a group of our population as the colored people is one which, however it might be received in some other quarters, could not possibly be permitted by any who feels their responsibility for living up to the traditions and maintaining the principles of the Republican Party. Our Constitution guarantees equal rights to all citizens without discrimination on account of race or color. I have taken my bath to support that Constitution. It is the source of your rights and my rights, I propose to regard it, and administer it, as the source of the rights of all the people, whatever their belief or race." I stand on that statement and believe it marks the line along which the colored people will advance to the full establishment of their rightful political status. Just as emancipation from slavery was granted by the immortal Lincoln, so is economic emancipation being splendidly wrought out by the colored people for themselves; so I believe their full political rights will be won through the inevitable logic of their position and rightfulness of their claims. Very truly yours, CALVIN COOLIDGE." OUT OF THY HEART SPEAK THE TRUTH (Republican National Committee) CHICAGO, ILL. Sept. 5—From a standpoint of popularity with the colored citizens of the United States, President Coolidge is even greater than his party, under whose standard the race has rallied for protection since the days of Lincoln. Col. Rocca Conkline Simmons of Chicago, nephew of Booker T. Washington, is authority for this assertion. Col. Simmons, who was a leading speaker at the recent silver anniversary convention here of the National Negro Business League, told in an interview why the President is so highly regarded by colored people. "It is not merely because we feel that Mr. Coolidge is personally pathetic toward us," he said. "It is because his policy of giving impartial treatment to all, without regard WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Sept. 5, 1924. B.Y.P.U.STATE ORGANIZER AT ST.MARY CHURCH A This week is aflae with enthusiasm at St. Mary baptist, where Mrs. A. S. E. Winston is conducting the B. Y. P. U. Chautauqua. It is interesting to watch the enthusiasm grow night after night; from a faithful few, it is now a crying aige numbers and effective in its instructions and organization. St. Mary's can be the same when she is through, because of the knowledge imported and system taught. They are aiming high working hard. If you have not attended you should move in that direction at once. Sunday closes this granddid School of Methods. Come help the close. It is a blessing to be well born with every part about you normal, added to this blessing another blessing that pives life and push to the energy found in such a child and that blessing is a mother. A real mother gets in to the very heartbeats and soul's desires of her child and would rather be stain herself than retard development Such is the case of Mrs. Queeny Taylor-Walton, who for the sake of her two boys, James and William, lived a widow for years until she could rear her boys where they could make it for themselves. James Taylor being insured by the Holy Spirit and being infiltrated by our Y. M. C. A. secretary, Captain W. L. Hutcherson, left last Wednesday for Chicago University to prepare for Y. M. C. A. work. This young man just finished Wichita High School last year with honors. He is temperate, unassuming, courteous, manly disposed and talented as an orator and singer. His influence is felt in his own city and through out the state by all races, because of his masterly way of doing things. This is one young man that his mother and the entire young and old life of the state are justly proud of. As he leaves to better prepare, he takes the sympathy and best wishes of the whole citizenry, especially the New Baptist Church of which he was an active member, serving as president of the B. Y. P. U. Prayers and help stands at his disposal. to class, creed or color assures every group of equally just consideration. Explanation of President Cooidge's popularity is found in the fact that he is not particularly the friend of any one class—He is a friend of the American people as a whole." Col. Simmons cited another reason for the President's high standing. "People of my race." he asserted, were drawn to Mr. Coolidge because he is a product of New England, which has started and fostered many worth-while movements for the education of the Negro. Practically all of our great institutions of learning, with the exception of Tukegee Institute, founded by Booker T. Washington, grew out of the efforts of New England white men. Mr Washington was himself of New England stock." NOTICE!! All students who plan to enter the Seminary should send in their application on or before September 10th. On account of limited accommodations we are asking attention to this notice. School begins Wednesday, September 24th. Write N. W. T.

H. of Pratt, and Mrs. Mary Carter and Mr. Virgil Carter of Medicine Lodge, motorer of Fredonia Saturday and returned Sunday evening. Mrs. Carter went to visit her dear old father, whom she had not seen for four years and she surey enjoyed the meeting with him. Her father is a minister so he carried Rev. Williams around to all the different departments of the city. On Sunday they visited the Cement Cump Ground where the coed folks stay; and Rev. Williams made a talk to some of them and they enjoyed the talk. They say they need such a man as Rev. Williamr to keep them i good cheer; that is just what the people need today: more real Christian Gospel prachers, a man who lives the Gospel and can preach it. Give Him a chance. SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE START Chanute. Kansas. Mr. Roy Johnson has returned from Grand Lodge of Masons at Topeka, and reports a very fine session and a splendid trip.

Goodseal was born in Warren County, Miss., and lived in several different states; he came to this state and place 43 years ago. He was an old pioneer and devout Christian. Age 96 years. One of the greatest crowds were there and attended this funeral in the history of Chanute, of both colored and white. Rev. Branch preached the funeral and proved himself equal to the occasion, from the 24th chapter of Numbers, 10th verse, was the text: "Let me die the death of the righteous and let my end be like that of His." There were many great features pointed out in the life of Father Goodseal that the young people should take note. Mrs. A. Witherspoon is still in the clothes' business on East Main. Mrs. Brown, N.

Sometimes, much cheaper metals, such as brass, copper and compositions are made to imitate the real gold; but when the test comes, it is only the outward show. Many of our generation, as well as of other generations, have made a spendid outward show to the world. They have appeared to be solid thru and thru. To hear them talk, would move to action the heart of the gross pessimist. They could wield a scepter of wholesome advice, equalled only by Christ himself. There is is very little that they do not know understand all about it at first sight, but this same individual or class of individuals when the truth is really known, while he is posing pure "gold" is only the cheapest grade of brass, highly polished. If you would get into the secret chambers of their lives, you would discover that only the front porch and the threshold are in trim and well cared for; while behind the doors, under the beds, on the back porch, and in all of the hidden away and more private places of their lives, all kinds of rubbish, garbage and uncleanness are piled from years of accumulation. Why wonder at the poor grade and quality of fruit produced in some soils when they are grossly lacking in those essential elements which make for the best fruit. An insincere individual might stand for a while in his hypocritical proclamations for justice and right, but when those who have been made the victims of his deception wake up and think a little, he will wilt as does the new mown hay before the noonday sun. It is possible to know whether one is sincere or not. This ability, however, is not possessed by all. Only the faithful few whose finite minds are properly linked up with the infinite mind are those who are able to make an introspection and discover the actualities of ones makeup. In proportion as we gain proximity to the infiniti our limitations become less but when our way seems completely obscured and we can't find the way to lead out, we may rest assured that Five Cents Per Copy PLANTER LEAVES BULK OF BIG ESTATE TO NEGRO SERVANT R'ch Kentucky Former Divides Above $300 000 Among Faithful Domestics LEXINGTON, KY.—Because he Negro servants had remained at his home and cared faithfully for his many years, John "Hughes, 83 or of the wealthiest farmers in Centr Kentucky, left to three of his servants the bulk of his half million doar estate.

His family were among pioneers who Came here before Kentucky had been seared of Indians. the trouble lies at the door of num ber one. Calvary Baptist News REV. J. W. HAYES. Pastor REV. J. W. HAYES, Pastor Splendid services were held at our church, Sunday. Bible School was opened promptly at 9:45 a.m., by assistant Supt. Mrs. L. C. McCri- ough and Divisional Supt. Mrs. P.

At 11 o'clock an Organ Voluntary was payed by Mrs. Ora Carter, followed by a lively praise service. The pastor spoke briefly about "Honest Labor," then brought to us a burning message taken from Deut. 12:27; subject, "They murmured in their tents." Outlines: 1st, The home is the place where sentiment is molded 2nd, The man that hates suffers more than the one he hates. 3rd, Leadership that can't win. 4th, Learn a follow leadership. 5th, The leader must be first of all a Christian. 6th, Seek to get the man who knows his job. 7th, If these qualifications are found in a lender, he can be trusted.

President who is ill at her mother's home in Topeka. Subject of the lesson, "The Drink Curse," was thoroughly discussed in each group.

This father's heart was in deep anguish because of the critical illness of his son, but he had the good sense to go to Jesus in his distress parents should eagerly bring their children to the Great Physician. This infliction was used to bring him to Jesus. Many do not think of Jesus until overwhelmed with grief and distress it is that always brings men to Jesus. Even when human physicians all the case is not hopeless, for there is no case too hard for Christ and here is no disease too difficult nor sorrow too great but relief can be found Him. This is true of our physical is, but it is pre-eminently true of our souls. We see here that a rich and influential man is in distress, showing that the rich and exalted are no more exempt from afflictions and anxiety than are the poor. Cares and trouble come to all alike. The young are like to disease and death as are the old this nobleman learned of Jesus through the testimony of another (vv 7). Had not some one told him about Jesus he would not have called upon Him. Before lost men can call upon the Lord some one must tell them about Him (Rom. 10:14, 15). II. The Testing of the Nobleman's faith (vv. 48, 49). In his experience we find an illustration of the development of belief. He had faith, but not an intelligent faith before help could be given his attitude if mind must be changed. Jesus declared, "Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe," showing that he nobleman's faith was such as was used upon signs and wonders. The man needed something more than the healing of his son. He must needs now Christ as Savlor as well as Dealer. He did not allow himself to be put off, but insistently demanded, Sir, come down ere my child die." This shows that he was now willing to make any experiment to save his boy. His very impotency forced him to lay old upon the Lord. Jesus desired this men to possess a faith which was used upon His naked word, not mere signs and wonders. The way of Jesus is to first reveal Himself as a Savlor od then as a Henter. 111. The Nobleman's Faith Victorious vv. 50-54). Through his testing he passed with good advantage. He is now ready to receive the Lord's own word, "Go thy way; thy son liveth." These words created true faith and the man stepped out upon them. Because he believed he words that Jesus spoke unto him he went his way. Faith increases in rightness the longer it is exercised, the foundation upon which he reposed is faith was the words of Jesus. On its return his faith met with confirmation. His servant met him and told him that his son was alive. Upon inquiry he found that the recovery of his son was from the very hour in which Jesus spake the words. This was such an unmistakable evidence of the city of Jesus that not only the noble man, but his household, was won for Christ. This affords us an example of the beauty of household religion. May we all learn that the words of Jesus are reliable. That which He promises is just as sure as though it had already come to pass. The salvation of the one who believes in Jesus is just as sure as though he had been in heaven and seen his name in the Book of Life. Anxiety for the son brought salvation to the whole house. Evangelism "Evangellism is not merely a work of love. It is the sheer law of self preservation.

Wichita, Kansas Market 7800 :WICHITA, KANSAS COMMENTARY FOR 1925 NOW READY. The 1925 Edition of the National Baptist Sunday School Lesson Commentary has just reached our office. It has come in four months before the year is out, four months before the time for its issuance; therefore it is allowing the Sunday School Workers four months in which to study, criticise and familiarize themselves with the lessons for the enauling year, so that when 1925 is ushered in they will have become thoroughly familiar with next year's work. This edition of the Commentary is volume 22. It has passed therefore, more than its score of years on the market as a Sunday School Help. The Commentary is prepared by the National Baptist Publishing Board thro' its editorial department. The book was thrown on the market by the late R. H. Boyd, who was the founder of the National Baptist Publishing Board at Nashville, Tenn. It is being continued by his son, Henry Allen Boyd, the Secretary, who succeeded his father and who is also at the head of the Sunday School for the United States among the Negro Baptist. The editorial work is by Rev. David J. Hull, A. B., S. F. B., D. D. The volume runs about 350 pages and is brim ful of its content or the Sunday School. It has a discourse in the front part of the book on the International Sunday School Lessons, improved uniform series. There is the usual preface, and then Dr. Boyd's famous chapter on Modern Sunday School Methods. There is an Introduction for each quarter, and one for each Lesson, with the Authorized and Revised Version on the Scriptures. It has the Motto Text, the Lesson Setting, the Lesson Outline, the Daily Home Readings, the Daily Home Readings, the Exposition. Another part is, "With the OH LOOK!

The young boys and girls are finding much pleasure in the swimming pool where the water is tested every day. With the efficient care of Dr. F. L Barnett, many have learned to swim. The new oven for barbecuing, the band stand, the seats are the best in the city; the grounds are well kept; the swings are ordered, and many other amusements that will make one of the best equipped parks in the city. Mr. McDonald is doing his best to give a square deal and according to records, in proportion to the attendants, he is breaking the record for McKinley Park; that is he is spending more money there than in any park in the city. He is now looking forward to the making of a 1st class Lawn Tennis Court. The citizens should feel proud of this convenience in this end of the city on the corner of Ohio Avenue and 15th Street.

Central Riverside has better shade, better grass and water, better parking facilities, plenty of room for sports, and more accessible. Owing to necessity of waiting until the exact number of cars and floats are reported before we can plan the parade assembly on the plab the map showing parade route and your exact location for assembly of cars for parade will either be mailed to you on Friday evening or delivered to your address on following Saturday morning. Parade will assemble on streets adjacent to Douglass between Grove and Hillside; your exact place will be indicated on the pat. Be there by 11 o'clock sharp. Parade must be shaped up and into the business district by 12:00. PLEASE, OH PLEASE, be in your places on time. Parade will go straight through on Doug as to Seneca from which point all floats and exhibits not going to picnic grounds will turn left on South Seneca returning to downtown district via Maple St. All passenger cars and floats going to picnic grounds will turn right, north on Seneca going across Seneca St., Central Ave. and Woodman Bridges, into Riverside Park. Passenger cars will be parked inside park, but floats keep 10 feet between all cars and floats in parade. If a stop becomes necessary give stop signal at once. Left arm straight out. Any cars "going dead" for any reason should be pushed out of parade at once. Don't halt entire parade in hopes that it "will start pretty soon." Get it in the clear and when it does's start wait until Woody Hockaday's calliope gets to you and fall in. We have over100 bundles of wheat that is being tied into "plumes" for delivered to you Saturday morning. This wheat, by the way, is some wheat tests 66 lbs to the bushel and is the finest wheat ever brought to a Valley Center elevator. Your horns and refreshment tickets will be given out as the parade starts. It is suggested that every car carry a small American flag on the radiator. The expense is small and the sentiment is a met worth while. AGAIN! Please do not throw anything from the parade to litter the streets or cause the crowd to leave the sidewalks. We are trying to ourselves to the public and the lea disorder we create, the better. Don't forget the Luncheon Friday Noon Sept. 5th at the Innes Tea Ro You received on invitation from the General Committee and since this is the final meeting before the parade you should be there. . as all for w.
