CONVENTION GROWING The weather was fine and the crowd large and enthusiastic in attendance at the Logan County Union S. S. Convention, which convened with the Mt. Olive Baptist Church at Oakley, Kas. The S. S. was good and the lesson well taught. The Pastor reviewed the lesson. Then followed a spiritual sermon by President W. F. Finley. He used for text, I. Cor. 3:11: "For other foundations can no man lay than that is laid, which is Christ Jesus." He made it very clear, in his forwent way that a good foundation was necessary, in spiritual as well as industrial life. He was followed with fitting remark by District Missionary, M. S. Jonc. This led up to the basket dinner which was served Cafeteria style. All had a plenty and enjoyed themselves. The address of Welcome was delivered by Mrs. N. J. Washington to Oakley, and a fitting response by Miss Ida Wheeler of Pleasant View. Business was taken up and reports of S Schools read by their respective delegates. These reports showed improvement and were very encouraging. Financial report showed a balance of $14.09 in Treasure. The general program opened by a selection by the Oakley Choir, Rev. M. S. Jones discussed the topic: "What Must We Do If We Hope To Succeed As a Race?" The first and one of the greatest needs he said was practical education of the young. Nothing fancy, but intensely practical which may be of infinite value to them in later life. The next great need is for more and better organizations: Commercial, Professional, Industrial and Social. These must be in existence, he said: that the Negro youth may have the opportunity for progress and final achievement. He very urgently exhorted the race to encourage and patronize Negro endeavors. "We should strive also for higher social standards," and last but not least, better and more Christian like homes; so that influence of the world on the child may be neutralize by proper home training. The musical selections, reading and essays were grand, giving evidence of the talent of our Western folks. Very helpful to both young and old were addresses by Mrs. R. B. Clark, mother of Deacon J. J. Clark of Edith S. S. and Mrs. Thomas both of Nicodemus, Kans. A discussion. "Different Ways To Win The Lost" led by Rev. W. F. Finley followed by others. They said: we should set gool examples by living exemplary lives. As the Scriptures say: "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father whcl is in heaven."—Matt. 5:16. The Convention was also favore with an address by Dr. W. E. Carey formerly of Logan County, but now from Denver. At the suggestion of Convention advisor M. S. Jones, the officers were re-elected for the ensuing year. Miss Bessie Williams Pleasant View teacher of District No. 50 was elected supervisor' or the Teachers' Training Course to fill the vacancy caused by the absence of Rev. E. W. Doucau who is preparing to sail for Africa in November. Contribution for the day -17.00. Invocation by Bro. G. E. Watson Edith S. S. The next meeting will be held with First Baptist S. S. at Edith, Jan. 4th. Matt S. Jones Reporter. Regular services were held Sunday as the custom of order. The Rev. H. Scott came over from Garnett to carry out the regular services. The morning Sunday School conducted from 10:30 to 11:00 o'clock Brief review was made by the pastor which was very instructive. The Junior Mission Circle under our instructor, Sister J. H. Scott, is progressing nicely. Many plans have been successfully carried out. The Mission Circle will be successful, because gether for good to those, who love the RII AWARE That all of one's life is spent making various impressions? Also, as well, one is constantly receiving impressions. How important then is it that we govern well our actions less we make the wrong kind of impression upon some inocent individual. There is a period in one's life sometimes called the impressionable period, when the mind is most susceptible to things heard and seen. It is easy nough for young boys and girls to get the wrong impression, or those impressions which lend them into the wrong when no one is try to impress them that way. This true because of the innate Adamic nature of man During early childhood one's mind is very receptive. It is also very active. So wonderful is the activity and receptivity of the mind of a normal child of three to five years of age, that while the child plays around on the floor apparently not, attending to any thing the old folks say, 'it can the next day repeat some of the outstanding things said in its presence. Some people said that nothing should be said by the older folks that cannot be said in the presence of a child. These people don't think, they wonder. Hence their erroneous ideas about the matter. There are times when it becomes necessary and right that grownups should discuss matters which are entirely out of the child's mental range and that will not be of any value to him. Not only will it be immaterial value to him, but its little comprehensibility will cause him to be Wrongly impressioned. How careful then ought to live. With such religious fear; For all a strict account must give. For our impressions here. Kansas Big Chorus and Orchestra at Congress. What do you say? Grant Memorial Grant Chapel A. M. E. Chrch Sunday was well attended. Services were good . The pastor preached a strong sermon on "The Subject of the Prayer." The young people manifested a deep interest in the work.

The good members and friends thought it well since the pastor had just gotten on the sene that they should show their appreciation. So while he and wife a sweet little baby were gone to bed a great crowd gathered, and a storm arose and when all was over the table was growing under the heavy load. We say come again. We will say more the next. LAY YOU SAW IT IN THE STARS Lord." Last Sunday morning, we had the pleasure of listening to Bro. William Scott, who is the son of Rev. J. H Scott, who preached to us. He is young, but brilliant and has lots of ears to grow in the teaching of the Lord. This little poem, which was written seems to explain our different place in life: BE THE BEST. If you can't be a pine on top of the hill, Be a scrub in the valley, but be the best little scrub by side of rill; I can't be a bush be a tree. If you can't be a tree, be a bit of the grass. And some high way happier make; If can't be a muskie, then be a bass. But liviest little bass in the lake. If can't be a high way, then be the sun. Be the best of whatever we are. It isn't by size that we win or we fail. If can't be sun, be a star; Your sister in Christ, Miss Chattle Hare STRONG CITY NEWS Cherryvale News Notes.
