It was incorporated under the rigid insurance laws of Kansas in 1921, by Mr. B. W. Crawford who was elected secretary and after faithfully performing the duties or that office for one year was elected President, which position he now holds. Mr. Crawford having had previous experience in the insurance business, by devoting several years of his life to the American Woodman, and the Denton Burial Association, being president of the latter. He knew that the results that one man can accomplish was very limited, so he set about to procure the services of as many capable assistants as possible, after obtaining three capable agents, set out on the fields with their minds all an one object. The Sunflower, their Slogan was "The Sunflower Must Go Over The Top," and after a few months of hard labor, has collected in premium in the city of Wichita, alone, $1,211.85 and $15,340.00 worth of insurance in force. He finally succeeded in obtaining some very reliable and capable agents, included among them was Mr. W. M. Copeland, having had many years of experience in the insurance business having been district manager of the world's largest accident and health insurance company. Mr. Copeland is now agency director of The Sunflower and has practically succeeded in the appointment of agents in every city in the state. The Sunflower is now enjoying a very prosperous year, having written the $10,000 worth of insurance this year and still writing. The Sunflower is assessed at $10,111.85 and is the only organization of this kind that has been authorized to do accident and health business in the state, therefore, it should have the support of Kansas' 200 000 Negro Population. The Sunflower stands ever ready and willings to pay all valid claims of policy holders promptly and without quibble or dispute. Its experiences has shown that the public will permeantly patronize an insurance company that sells honest policy holders honestly and promptly, honest agents, and pays the claims of policy holders honestly and promptly. The Sunflower is here to stay. Connellsville, Pa; News September 6th, 1924—I have just returned from the Great Lott Carey Foreign Mission Convention, which met with the Second Baptist church, Washington, D.

This NOTED EDUCATOR DIES IN PENNSYL VANIA HOML NOTED EDUCATOR DIES IN PENNSYL VANIA HOML Dr. John B. Rendal, President of Lincoln University, Age 77, Suecumba Pleasant in service) LNCOLN UNIVERSITY, PA. Sep 12—The Rev. Dr. John B. Rendal President of Lincoln University, and nationally known as an educator of Negroes, died at his home Lere Thursday day at the age of 77. Dr. Rendall had been the President of Lincoln University since 1896, having originally been professor of latin. He was born in Madura, India, in 1847, the son of Missionaries. He was educated at Princeton, graduating in 1870 and ordained to the Presbyterian ministry in 1876. In 1899 he was elected to the state legislature, serving one term. Dr. Rendall was moderator of the synod of Pennsylvania in 1908. A daughter and four sons survive. The funeral services were held at Lincoln University Saturday afternoon. was the second time that I have had the pleasure of attending it, and I must say for myself that the session was indeed fine. This Convention operates in only 5 states in the East. Its territory is very small but the churches are very strong for its support. I had the pleasure of shaking hands with our own Sister F. B. Watson, Rev. E. W. Douglass of Western Kansas. Both of these are from the state of Kansas and Sammie Stubblefield of Africa, the boy in whom Dr. J. H. Van Leu was so interested. He and Sister Watson, but it over singing. This Convention has taken Samme from the Topeka Industrial Institute, and has assigned him to the Virginia Union Seminary, Richmond, Va., to finish his education. Rev. Douglas, is aspiring to go to Africa, and he made a very strong address on Friday evening to the Convention in his behalf of being appointed by this Convention, to Africa. Sister F. B. Watson, is in good shape for the return trip this fall. She carried the whole convention with two masterly addresses; and you know that is just like her. She also showed me a letter from President Mrs. M. D. Jones, of dear old Smoky Hill District, and that brot' back the memory of Kansas. This convention had a meeting with a committee from the Unincorporated National Convention and the Good Lord Just made it possible for a little fellow like me to be appointed on that committee, and O if you could only have been a little bird hid away in some crack and heard us, you would wonder what will be next in our lives as Christians. The matter of the Regular National Convention was also brought in before the Ex. Board, and that was a big proposition; but thanks be to God, we the National Convention have many strong pastors in this section of the country, and we took care of our interest with credit. But as a whole, a great session passed into history; raising more than Thirty-four Thousand Dollars. The next session will be held in Norfolk; Va. We are still getting along nicely with our church-in-Connellsville. We are looking forward for a greater work. I am your old friend and co-worker in the Master's Cause. L. D.

NOTICE To The Members and Policy Holders of The Knights and Ladies of the Orient Lodge now existing under the name of The National. Industrial Insurance Company; GREETINGS This will notify you and each of you, that the state of Kansas, by its attorney general C. B. Griffith, at our instant request, did on the 28th day of July 1924, file a law suit in the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas against the National Industrial Insurance Company. The object of this suit is to enjoin and restrain this Company, and its President, Frank S. Thomas, from increasing the monthly assessments on all policies with it, because an increase in our assessments is unjust and unwarranted by the facts surrounding the financial status of this Company. The Attorney General is assisted in this case by Attorney William M. Bradshaw, R. M. Van Dyne two of the froemost lawyers in this state who have been employed by the policy holders in Topeka, to assist in the prosecution of this case. During the last five months, Mr. Bradshaw and Mr. Van Dyne have worked uneasingly in co-operation with the state insurance department and the attorney general's office, in order that we policy holders might get justice, and be able to continue our Forty Thousand Dollars of insurance with this company at the same premium rates, which are fair and reasonable. Their services in this case benefitted, and will benefit in the future, every policy holder in this insurance company. And it is reasonable and fair to expect that every person carrying this insurance will co-operate with us in our efforts to compensate Mr. Van Dyne and Mr. Bradshaw. If every person carrying this insurance will co-operate with us in this matter we can compensate them for what they have done and will do for us in the prosecution of this case, at a nominal cost to each of us. We should not expect something for nothing, and if you desire to save your insurance, you will kindly communicate with me, and get 'i' particulars concerning the fund that we are creating to compensate Mr. Bradshaw and Mr. Van Dyne for their services.

PROTESTANTS. NEGROES AND THE KLAN The A. M. E. Church Pub. Bureau, The Ku Klux Klan issue is making it necessary for the Negro to d. some real thinking, and may separate in many cases from some of his erstwhile beat friends. The Ku Klux Klan is a religio-political organization which has sworn enmity against all Catholics, Jews and Negroes. It is therefore not believable that any Negroes can support it. Now the Negroes are chiefly Protestants. There are very few Catholics among us; most of us are Methodists and Baptists. It is with a great deal of regret therefore that we see Protestants actively alligned with the organization against Negroes, who make up a large number of the Protestant membership. At least five million Negroes are Protestants in this country, of whom two million are Methodists. It is with a double regret that we note the activity of so many Methodist preachers in the Ku Klux Klan. Even in some parts of the North the activity of the Protestant ministers and particularly of the Methodist ministers in the Ku Klux Klan is most pronounced. Thus the Negroes find themselves opposed by those who have here-to-fore been their best friends. The same is true of the Negro in politics. The Negroes are overwhelmingly Protestant. To the Republicans they have shown gratitude because of the emancipation and in many cases the only argument which the Republicans have for their support is that they freed our fathers and grondfathers. We note in some states that the Republican party is the most active advocate of the Ku Klux Klan. In the state of Indiana, for instance, the Republicans are strongly in favor of the Klan, while the Democrats are strongly opposed to the Klan. The same is true in Oklahoma. It is also true in the state of Maine, that the Democratic candidate for governor is against the Klan, write the Republican candidate is in favor of the Ku Klux Klan, which puts the Negro in a position of having to oppose those who have been here-to-fore called his friends. The activities of the Klan are so pronounced against the Negro that in those states and congressional districts where the Republicans have been so derelict in their duties to the common interests of humanity as to line up, with the Ku Klux Klan, the Negroer have no choice except to refrain from voting for the Republican candidate in such local contests. We predict that the Klan issue will do more to break up the solidarity of Negro Protestantism than anything we have yet known. Christian Recorder. AFRICAN METHODIST BISHOP SAYS SUPPORT COOLIDGE The A. M. E. Church Pub. Bureau) Bishop W. D. Johnson of the A.M. E. Churc, presiding over the state of Texas, visital Philadelphia, helping to compute the discipline. Upon being asked to state his position on the political question, Disciple Johnson spoke out strongly for President Coolidge. Said he: Our people should be interested in that candidate who, if elected with defend their constitutional rights against all attempts at abridgement or other hostile influence. Among the various candidates for the presidential office, I think more deserving than our present chief executive, and it is for him that I urge every voter to cast his ballot. There are three reasons that prompt me to make this statement: First, Mr. Coolidge's fairness and honesty. I think that among the great array of rulers and leaders today intrusted with the power, there is none who can surpass Mr. Coolidge in honesty of purpose, in courage, or in high devotion to the welfare of this country. Second, in his advocacy of the Dyer Anti Lynching Bill, and also the attitude of the Republican party against lynching in general. Every intelligent voter ought to know that any man or party anxious to reduce, if not abolish lynchings and mob rule is worthy of support. Third, I am in favor of supporting the Republican nominee cause no other party has done as much for our people as the party in power. From the time the colored man emerged from slavery up to the present moment—every worth-while privilege granted him, can be traced directly or indirectly to the instrumentality of the Republican party. Five Cents Per Copy ARE YOU AWARE? BY E. M. BARNES That what has been done, can again be done! Some possimists grumblingly say that people don't do as they "uster" and that the world is growing worse and worse as the years come and go. We must admit that people do act differently but it is not because of the world's getting any worse. It is due to people change. In their mind that to change things and conditions, they forget their duty to their fellowman. Men now have their eyes fixed upon certain distant goals, and in their intensity to "get there," they entirely forget and ignore all possible intervening obstacles. Hence, many times we results of their, sad and leadlong courses of procedure not only brings detention to themselves but also to others. If man would learn to hide self behind his thoughts of others, there would be no accidents, no destruction of the true spirit of fellowship, no heartaches; but this old world would then be as a Heaven—All things working together for happiness. Among all the organizations that constantly land their efforts in behalf of our country's well. are the only one that ever made "Free Men" one of its mottoes is the Republican party. Whatever amendments and Federal laws we have today protecting the rights of the colored man, we are indebted to the Republican party for these grants; and I firmly believe that any colored man or woman failing to support Mr. Coolidge in the coming election, would not only be ungrateful for blessings received but expose himself to new and additional hardships." --- NOTICE!!

FROM NAZARETH LESSON TEXT—Luke 4:10-30 OLDEN TEXT—"He hath anointed to preach the gospel"—Luke 4:18 PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Visits His Town UNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Faces a Mob INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP- Jesus Explains His Message JOUNG, PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC The Mission of Christianity. I. Jesus in the Synagogue (v. 10) On the Sabbath day He went into a synagogue according to His own n. He no doubt went that day with pew, and definite purpose, but it refreshing to know that it was accord to His habit. II. Jesus Reading the Scriptures v. 17-10. 1. The Book Handed to Illm (v. 17) was not only His custom to attend a place of worship but to take a pail. This privilege was not confined the rabbis (Acts 13:13). 2. The Passage Read (Isaiah 61:1). Most likely this passage was chosen by Illm with a specific purpose. 3. The Content of the Passage (vv. 19). (1) The mission of the Messiah (v. 1). It was: (a) To preach the gospel to the or. The good tidings which Jesusocalmmed are peculiarly welcome to the common people. (b) To heal the broken-hearted, the gospel of Christ peculiarly meets the needs of those whose hearts are mushed by the, weight of their own sins or by the burden of sorrow and sappointment. (c). To preach deliverance to the captives. The gospel of Christ does actually set man free from the slavery of sin (John 8:30). (d) Recovering of sight to the blind. Christ did actually make those who were physically blind to see (John 6, 7) and also opened the eyes of those who were spiritually blind (John 5:20). (e) To set at liberty them that are cruised. The power of Christ can free the most utterly hopeless ones. (1) To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. The primary allusion is the year of Jubilee (Lev. 25:8-10) in which all those in bondage were released. (2) The special endowment of the Messiah (v. 18). The reason why the Spirit was upon Him was that He might fulfill specifically His Messianic work. It was not for the display of power. The endowment of the Holy Spirit is not for mere power's sake. III. Jesus Expounding the Scriptures (vv. 20, 21). 1. He Closed the Book and Sat Down. It seems to have been the custom of the Jewish teachers to sit while enclosing. "This Day In This Scripture Full Allied" This is no doubt but a plot of all IV. Seventh by the People I remember a vice (v. 22), "Is not this Joe." As if to say, "This is our fellow townman with whom we have been acquainted for years. Surely, therefore, He cannot be the Messiah." 2. Unhelief as to His Supernatural Character (v. 23). They challenged Him to exhibit examples of divine power as He had done in other places. 3. Personal Jealousy (v. 24). Jealousy prevents us from seeing the essential worth of the men in our midst. Foreigners are more appreciative. A prophet is not accepted at home, primarily because he is a prophet. Prophets were sent in times of moral and spiritual declination and their messages were stern rebukes of sin. He adduces two outstanding examples of the willingness of foreigners to believe God. (1) Ellijah was sent to a widow at Sarepta (vv. 25, 20). Many widows of Israel were passed by due, doubtless, to the fact that they would not have received the prophet. (2) Neaman, the foreigner, of many lepers was the only one cleansed 4. Violent Hatred (vv. 28 30). This comparison of the Jews to foreigners so stunned their pride that they madly drove Him out of their city, even tried to kill Him. He showed them that just as Elijah had brought blessing to one who lived in Bidon and Elisha to one in Syria, while the people of Israel went on suffering, even so the Gentiles would receive the blessings of His saving power while they, the chosen nation, would suffer in unbelief. Religion, in one sense, is a life of self-denial; but self-denial does not belong to religion as a characteristic of it. It belongs to human life.

Area Missionary church at church was in a great prayer meeting. It was most wonderful to hold how the Holy Spirit dwelt in the midst of all in the in the service that morning when we returned home. At 9.50 we wore back in Sunday School with a good attendance; all taking active port in discussion on Jesus' talks with a Samaritan Woman." At 11 o'clock we entered into another great spiritual player meeting, which was very beneficial and enjoyable to those who knew God in the parting of their sine. 6:30 our evening service began con- dled by Bro. Henry Joiner ano Bro. Saul Davenport; Sister C. H. Smith and Sister Harriet Davenport. No were resisted the Holy Spirit, but all were doing their whole duty in this service. Our church is still on the upward meath. Sunday was the close of our soul saving effort and baptizing day, and we rejoice as men and women, lays and girls put on Christ by baptisn. Our meeting was conducted by Dr. M. Peterson of Clarksdale, Miss. This Gospel giant in a sane and pro- found manner reasoned with men and women until they could no longer withstand and preached until enemies of the cross said, "Surely He must be the son of God." In this meeting twenty-eight happy souls were converted and twenty-four relished. Our collection was $105.30. Our pastor, Rev. A. M. Hardy, preached the closing sermon Sunday night. We pray that our pastor and his friend, Dr. Peterson will live long to perseude men to not be almost, but altogether, Christians. The candidates baptized were: Maggie Campbell, Katy M. Rose, Willie Brown, Tom Piet, Wilson Rodgers, Robert Johnson, Joseph Moore, Kenney Harris, Bennie Barnes, Arnell Lucus, Robert Bell, Calle Davis, Harvey Martin, Nannie Weeks, W. L.

The lesson was very beautifully and instructively questioned by the pastor, Rev. R. A. Cartwright, on the subject, "Christ Heals a Nobleman's Son." He said, the greatest physician is Christ our Lord, and if we look to Him, no matter how bad the case may be, He can heal and restore both physically, and spiritually. The 11 o'clock services—Devotionals led by Deacon Pettit and Carey. This being the 1st Sunday, we had o wonderful testimony meeting and we could feel the spirit among us. We were spiritually and helpfully uplifted in this great service. The B. Y. P. U., met at its regular hour 6:30 p. m. The Willing and Ready Section had charge of the program; which was very interestingly and educationally rendered. Evening Services—Devotional Sermon preached by Rev. C. B. Burton. subject of text, "Sanctification." He preached a soul stirring and all rejoiced, spiritually. The Willing Workers' Club will give a picnic celebrating the emancipation of the proclamation. They will serve barbecued pork, mutton, and beef. There will be many speakers on program.

Collins, Pastor, An unusual large attendance was witnessed in the S. School at 9:30. We are proud of the interest manifested in this department. C. T. WOODS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL We had a spiritual downpour at both morning and evening services; our pastor was at his best. The Railroad Convention convened at 3 p.m. When the storm burst forth in all its fury, a goodly number was safely sheltered within St. Matthew.

The pastor and wife will motor to Kansas City, Iwo, to attend American Conference in the next nature. One of the best prayer and class meetings in town is here every Wednesday evening; come and see. Sister n. Jackson is indisposed at her home 1144 Cleveland Avenue. st. Mary Baptist Notes. Sunday was a high day at St. Mary Baptist Church. Anne marked the close of the B. Y. P. U. Institute conducted by Mrs. A. S. E. Winston, B. Y. P. U. State Organizer, beginning Sept. 1st; The Institute was indeed a success; full of information and inspiration. Interest and enthusiasm increased each night. The Institute was a real treat to the B. Y. P. U. workers of St. Mary and all who attended. Mrs. Winston is a real or anizer; we feel that she was a D send to us, and it was wonderful to see the interest manifested by the children each night. She will live long in the hearts of the children as well as the grown-ups. The financial interest was also increased each night. The highest amount given in personal effort for the week was $20.00 given by a member of Willing and Ready Section; next two highest were members of Old Reliable Section. The highest amount raised in one night by the sections was $23.00 by True and tried Section, which had charge and rendered a very splendid program, Sunday evening. Total amount raised Sunday evening in the B. Y. P. U., was $71.00. We feel that three cheers need go up, for we went "over the top." We want to thank Bro. H. T. Sims for the interest manifested by him night and the splendid lectures given. We are always glad to have Bro. Sims with us. We also had number of other visitors Sunday evening; a goodly number of B. Y. P. U. Workers from Calvary and the other churches. We also appreciated the presence of Mrs. Carrie Anderson, President of District B. Y. P. U., several nights during the week. Visitors are always welcome; our invitation is extended to all. invitation is extended to all. We expect to put over a Model B. Y. B. H. in this part of the city. Y, P. O., in this part of the story. Sunday School was very interesting. School opened on time; many bright faces, ready to receive the information given. A splendid review by Bro H. T. Sims, was enjoyed by all. At 11:30 song services by the choir. Afterwhik, the pastor read for Scripture Lesson the book of Jude; selected his text from the 21st verse of the book of Jude and preached a heartfelt sermon. At the close, one came forward and united with us. B. Y. P. U., opened promptly at 5:30 with the C. C. C., Mr. Jar. Douglass, presiding; and the Union turned over to the president, proper, Bro. J. F. Vanwinkle, who made some very timely remarks, and introduced the officers of True and Tried Section, which had charge of the program. At the close, the Junior Union Section received the popular vote for the best decorations. The evening services was very good We listened to one of Mrs. Winston's choice selections; afterwhich Rev. Williams of Pratt, preacted for us, from Mark 16:15; this was a soul reviving sermon. At the close one came forward and united with us. We praise God for these souls and for the wonderful institute. May the organizer live long and do much for the promotion of Christianity and the upbuilding of humanity, Emporia News Items Sunday School at 9:30; Supt. and teachers present, 4; Rev. G. Pratt reviewed the school; Banner Class No. 5, Mr. W. F. Carter, teacher. We are glad to have the students back at the church on regular time. Devotion led by Deacons Calvin Woods, James Campbell, W. E. Carter and Joe Jobe. Scripture Lesson read by Rev. G. Pratt Afterwhich pastor Barnes preached a most wonderful sermon from I. Timothy, 2nd chapter; some of the things he said; We ought to let the world see God in our lives. He said that our hearts and minds ought to be in the services and not on the worldly things; when we come to the services of God and not rosh God of His time, and that God needs men, and women who will stand up for the things that are right. B. Y. P. U., was led by the President Sister Carrie L. Davison, who brought out many beautiful thorgnts on the lesson. At 8 o'clock the pastor's subject was Elijah's Stuggle with Deal Or Christians Waiting Against him. Kevin Barnes will never preach a sermon more powerful than this one. The Spirit of God was alive in every Russian. Again we welcome the arrival of the students. Mrs. Margret Walker and children of Lawrence, are visiting her parents Mr. and Mrs. John Snow. Sister Lucia Job who has been in K. C., visiting relatives, is back again. Mrs. Mamie and Celine Reams of Topeka, have been visiting their mother, are now at home. Mrs. Bell Shakespeare and children of Parsons, are visiting relatives, here. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Hudson, Mrs. Edward Hencerson and family who were away visiting, have returned. The death angel has removed from our midst, Brother Judge Carson, a pioneer of Kansas, and one of the first members in organization of the C. M. E. Church, here; it was said, that he came to Christ when a mere child, giving his whole life to the worship of God. The funeral was preached at the C. M. E. Church by the pastor. He leaves to mourn the loss, 3 sons and 2 daughters. Rev. Barnes and wife are off for the National Baptist Convention in Nashille, Tenn. In my minds eye, I can see our great State Missionary, Rev. A. W. Ross, leading this great host of Christian men and women, going to no business for the King o' Glory. We know that our State Missionary is a great man, because the most humble servants of God, feel at home in his presence; and la loves little children; he does not take the honor of being the State Missionary, to himself, but he gives the honor to God and to our sainted brother, Rev. J. H. Van Leu. Let the whole world pray for him that Almighty God may give him strength needed to put over the program. Pray for Smoky Hill River District Moderator, who sheds tears of reverence instead of it swelling his head. I am sure he is a man for the place and his wife who is a help-mate indeed and plays for the district choir. The pastor of our church here at Emporia, Rev. J. A. Barnes, and his estimable wife—we cannot express just what they are doing to put over the program in Emporia. Every deacon and wife in Emporia, prayed that all who eat of the well filled basket of chicken, ham, cake and good things prepared by Deacon and Sister W. E. Carter, for Rev. and Mrs. Barnes, would send out a prayer likewise, for them that God will ever keep them for His services and that their oil may not give out Pray that the prayers of the whole National Baptist Convention go up as one man's prayer. Pray for St. James and the reporter; and always remember the eyes of God are upon us. I know that Smoky Hill River District will never forget the last sermon that was preached at Nicodemus, by Rev. Elias of the South eastern District Moderator: he said. Jesus sees all you do and hears a you say. A R C. BARBER SHOP HAIR CUTTING, SHAMPOOING AND MASSAGING, SHOWER BATH 1347 N.

Mr. Olivet Baptist Church News Splendid services held at our church Sunday morning; Rev. J. A. Rucker brought us a splendid sermon from Heb. 11:1. Sunday School well attended; Supt., teachers, and officers, are doing a splendid work in King- dom building. Rev. Rucker is plan- ning great things for this church; new windows are soon to be put in and other improvements on the way. He is proving an example to Paola, a credit to the race. That corner that was once an eye sore, is now well applauded as a splendid example of progress and improvements; it is now a compliment to that community and the many white friends (and all his host of colored friends) say there is just one Rev. J. A. Rucker in a life like his. He is a live wire for God's Kingdom Work. Teachers' meeting was well attended with increased interest shown. Mission Circle was well attended. Mrs. Alice McFerson entertained us Friday afternoon. Our splendid hostess knows the part. Our President Mrs. Fannie Rucker is a born leader of her sex, and a live-wire for God's cause and that intrusted to her. Rev. Rucker brought brought a soul outrring message to a large audience. The Holy Spirit put its sanction on the message and there was a great shout in the camp. His text was, from II. Cor. "Fellow Workers With God." And his words cut like a two-edged sword; those who heard him should surely live up to and work for the Blessed Lord. After the sermon, he called forward all of the children o his congregation and there was a goodly number, and he talked to them of the Kingdow work, bowed and had an earnest, heart searching prayer to God to protect these childdren that they might grow up in the full statue of the church; he further admonished the mothers, especially, also faters to be careful how they live before the children and that they should set examples of credit before them; saying in part: Train the child the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from its training." A trolley party was given Thursday night by Mrs. Cleo Nowling. Supt. B. Cooper and others to complete the collection for Rev. and Mrs. J. A. Rucker's trip to National Convention and a good crowd present, made good. Mrs. Bettie Cooper served free sandwiches to all and a glass of 'good daddy.'
