Every president of the State, and District should begin now letting your articles come in showing the needs of the work and what could be done if the constitution or plans fall down we worked. Get lay now this is your organ, play on it and the members will catch the air and sing to your request. HOW many times did you take advantage of your fellowman last year? How many times did you crush the spirit that begged to stand up for the right? How many times did you get a real chance to do something for somebody and you need it too long? How many times did your soul cry out for communication with its Maker and you would not bring it to the church, even, that it might hear a message from its Maker? How many times did you at all your neighbors' good name, a ride on the street car, or a few pennies from the storekeeper or the customer? If you have conscience, felt, strong enough to measure up your shortcomings, if you have strength enough to start 1923 with a strong fight for a better life. Will you be more careful this year with you, own life, that when this year shall have been laid away in the shadows of oblivion, you will see a better record, registered. WICHITA, your time is coming to make a record or go down in disgrace, because, when the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress of America, meets here in June, bringing some of the best brains and souls of America, or the word, you will be known for your works and not for "hot-air." If you will furnish them homes and food, for a few days, they will furnish you thought that will be eternal.

They will pay $200 per day, but if they were not going to pay a penny in money, they will have a message for the living of the Kingdom. We are you standing ready to take your full number.

God so loved the world that He sent Christ and Christ so loved the world that He gave his life now we should so love each other that the influence of love will continue its flow, making love real until the perfect day. It is all right to be one hundred per cent citizen, but it is far better to be one hundred per cent Christian; when we are one hundred per cent citizen we might still feel ourselves united to mistreat someone, but when we are hundred per cent Christians we want them to rise and love is a great abundant on the basis fortune. Our for the Spirit of the Christ who said in testimony of the fact that I am the Christ is that 'the poor has the Gospel, the blind see and the lame walk. Wouldn't this be a fine neighborhood if we would just keep the spirit of Christ circulating from breast to breast. We are not afraid of fire unless we have the exp' sive in our possession, we are not afraid of God unless we have sin in us and we are not afraid of our fellow man unless we have something in our heart against him. There is something in you, telling you to be aware and you think there is something wrong with the other fellow. Every time you show us a man who wants every man to have an equal chance, we will at that moment show you a man who is happy in every man's company.

RACE DISCRIMINA TION IS BLAMED ON CHURCH (Preson News Service) COLUMBUS, OHIO, Jan. 2-Utter failure of the Christian Church to Christianity, and presence of "Just as much meanness in the world since the advent of Christianity as before" are the cause of discrimination against Negroes. Dr. Gilbert H. Jones, President of Witberforce University declared in addressing a meeting to promote "Racial Cooperation and Understanding." The meeting was attended by a large number of colored and white people. Bruno Lanker is Speaker. Disability of colored people is due to ignorance of the true characteristics and economic conditions of the race rather than to instinct and such feelings may be obliterated. Bruno Lanker, New York, active secretary, Race Relations Commissions of National Conference on Christian Way of Life, declared. A group of songs was sung by a curtiet from Wilbetforce University and a soloist was sung by Mrs. H. J. D. Williams. The racing was under the auspices of Columbus Urban League of which N. B Allen is executive, Rev. Gilbert S. Cox, president, another speaker, defended the Christian Ch. declaring many pastors are interpreting race intolerance as un-Christian. "Race discrimination ought r't to be present, but is, "Dr. Jones calls, "The problem is so enormous, so detailed in its ramifications and so stupid us. I wonder if we can do anything about it. Christianity is a fine burial of theological virtines. There is now better in the world, but it is a bunch of theological virtines to put off on some one else. Christianity doesn't seem to Christianize and the world goes one with just about as much cursed as in it as before Christianity came. "Race discrimination is just an ordinary human problem with lots of the devil in it. Back of the court to restrict the Negro to certain blocks and districts of the city is a motive that has not been shown. What does the other fellow get out of mistreating the Negro? Some form of race prejudice has existed since time began, although it has not always been on color lines. Where one race is found to another and held as loomsmen and seals, the subjected race has had to go through what the colored people endure.

This is not a question of race, but a question of keeping the beautiful for Washington, the city of the whole people of the United States." "People wish for tolerance the end without knowing the means to achieve this end." Mr. Last's said "People say that the prejudice is so old a t age, that it is an instinct that one never can bring it to an end. But one cannot have an instinctive reclusion to a color. Do you have any perception to the color of chocolate candy." "It is not instinctive. It is needed, and if we admit that it is required we must admit also that we can be of it. People who talk about North superiority generally are dull. "Unfavorable experiences set the key role and we become conscious of a dislike for coeral people long after we have forgiven the experience which excited the feeling. When we hear Southern Norroes making on that Christ was a colored man we have a feeling that they are natural ploys. We picture him as a man with blue eyes and long flowing locks whereas. He actually looked like one of the Aristotle's." "Do you know how the Nord of a tually gained their power and re- dominance in the world today? The were sailors and learned to obey the captains.
