A REALITY.
The dream of active Christian women of Wichita, who have struggle for the salvation of the young womanhood of the city, has after years of effort been realized with the opening of The Mary Tolbert Branch of the Young Women's Christian Association at 626 North Main Street. Large, attractive quarters with the artful arrangement of furniture and charming touch of decorations impress the visitor with the ability to overcome obstacles characteristic of the women of the city and stand forth highly suggestive of the great purpose of the organization.
Endorsed and supported by active Christian women and with the determined co-operation of the Wichita Branch of the Young Women's Christian Association under the administration of Mrs. F. O. Miller, every indication points to a successful operation of the institution marking another milestone in the progressive trend of the Christian Womanhood of the community.
Affording an available shelter, graced by refinement, culture and trained Christian Erdeavor for the young women of the city; making possible a social center where the father of intellectuality may be blertied with incense of Christian love; extending an incentive for the development of the highest aspirations and ambitions among the future mothers of the race and affording a calm solace tinted with the agreeable all that is best in civilization—The Spirit of Christ—The Branch Association born in the hearts of those who have thought in terms of the basis of racial development, must stard forth as a monument to the faithful endeavor of the careful thinking workers among the women of the several churches and religious centers of the city who have realized that, the dignity and continued success of all races is to be determined by forceful influences and environments which are brought to bear upon and surround the developing spirit of the races as they cross the narrow bourds of youth and enter into the positive path of fatherhood and motherhood.
With the arrival of a well prepared Secretary who will have the united support of the city who have marked the way and touch the spark of prayer to the torch of faith; the Association with a live membership embracing members of the several evangelical churches and the young womanhood of Wichita the steady, progressive trend of the Association will stand out as a tangible evidence of the comprehensive appreciation of religion which has swayed the efforts of those who have made the Association a certainty and thus established another marbled column to mark the community efforts of the race. The Mary Tolbert Branch Y. W. C. A. represents the highest ideals of an exalted Christian Womanhood and will have before it the mighty task of holding out to the girls of the race The Beacon Light of Faith, Hope and Victory thru perseverance in spite of trials and it will link youth and age together in a common band of womanly interest which must prove a valuable asset to the general religious and moral tone of the entire community.

MRS. MAGGIE ROBINSON GOES TO HER REWARD
We would not dare question the wisdom of the Father, when He takes His children home because He knows best. He is the sure Father that made the fruit of the tree and some get ripe before others and must be plucked first. He knows the time of harvest for the lives of men and suffers death, the gate to endless love to open and bring in those ripe for the Kingdom on well as let the winds of the adversary send its dust within the evil cross.

'Tis so sweet to go when you know,
There awaits a city pure like snow;

Sorrow and grin shall have no foe.

And your countenance grow whiter;
Until your soul shall be lighter,
Like Jesus, the winner and fighter.

SOUTH WAR HERO MARRIES COLORED MAID
(Preston News Service)
WASHINGTON, D C Feb. 6- Members of high school circles in Washington and North will are in a state of fervent anxiety because Henry W. Faison, (white) age 33, son of former Congressman John Miller Faison, of North Carolina, married an Innie Nollon, colored mullet on January 17. Young Faison has been placed, it is said formerly by Cizie both the Santarium by his parents because of the marriage. We know as an aviation hero, Faison is under supervision and control, it is said, of the Veterans' Bureau he is said to be suffering from tricolor trouble.
Because of the forer the incident of the marriage raised in social circles it is expected that an effort will be made to have the marriage annulled on the ground that Faison was mentally irresponsible at the time of the ceremony. To a family friends that week said that the young man would be treated for alcoholism and mental aboration. It is said that Faison's father was found dead in his bed room, a butt wound in his temple. Many believe he took his own life. This is thought will make it much easier for the family to establish a strain of mental weakness attested by young Faison.

Mr. Williams was quite an estimable gentleman and was respected and esteemed by those who knew him.
We can only bow in hurtle submission to Him Who doth all things well, and remember that death is a black camel that kreels at the gates of all. The bereaved have our sympathy.
Trusting this notice may come to the attention of his many friends in other.r sections, so they may know of his demise.

ONLY 8 REPORTED FOR 1924 A
GAINST 57 IN 1922 AND 255 IN
SINGLE YEAR A GENERATION
AGO.
NEW YORK, Feb. 6—There has been a steady decrease in the number of lynchings throughout the United States for many years, and an unprecedented low record has been established for 1921. A generation ago some 255 lynchings of both black and whites were reported in a single year. The records show that fifteen years ago the average number of lynchings varied from 80 to 100 a year. In 1922 the number had dropped to 57, while last year there were but 33 lynchings for the entire country.
The proportion of whites to the blacks lynched is far greater than is generally known. During the past decade there have been about ten times as many Negroes as whites lynched, but before this period there were many years when fully half the total of the victims were white. Twenty years and more ago it frequently happened that there were more whites lynched than blacks.
The largest number of lynchings occurred in Georgia, where the average has been a trifle more than 13 a year for a generation. Mississippi comes next with about ten lynchings a year for all causes and next in turn Louisiana and Texas. The proportion of whites to Negroes lynched in the southern states is very low. The ten states in which lynchings are most common are: Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina and Texas. The total number of lynchings in Georgia during the past 25 years is 448.
The four states holding the highest records for lynching of whites for the last generation have been Montana, Missouri, Oklahoma and Wyoming. In Montana there have been 33 white lynchings in this period to but one Negro. Oklahoma has 88 whites lynch.d to 39 Negroes; Montana 33 whites and one Negro; and Wyoming 33 whites to seven Negroes. New York has had but one white and one Negro lynching throughout the entire period.

Ls. a thundeibolt, was the news
from California, telling of the
sudden death of Mr. Joseph W, Wil-
hams, who lived a useful citizen and
Christian for many years at Oakda'e,

say that God took to Himself a great

The Negro Star reached many homes

lighten the race, We sympathize

f you are faithful over a few
thirgs, He will make you ruler
over many, proved true in Rev, S @A-
Willams’ (of Salina,) earthly career,
He had a noble pecple to work with
at Salira, and he did so well with
them until the Master led him to
larger field, not a better people, but
more people with whom to work; 80
he {fs at Coffeyville, Kansas, at Cal-
vany Baptist Church, Rejoica with
this fina congregation for being so
forturate and weep with Salina over
their great loss at such a time. We
pray that the Father will bring forth
another greater than He fer these
earnest working pcople.
pd you love yorr white brother?
You shoull! Docs our white
brother fove us? He shoud! Be-
cause God desires and commands it.
We ere wondering if either side will
tell the whole truth next Sunday, in
the pu'pits where the exchanges have
been made throughout the city. Will
yeu believe the Gospel that you shall
deliver to your brother of another
fold? Are you willing to help him
reach the supreme end of the com:
mand, which is love, No man is
dangercus if he loves; And fear will
leave both races @s acon as they real-
ly love God and seek to do Jha will.
A full heart of love makes anyone
safe and we can change each other.
We are hoping that tho Holy Spir.t
will work mightily with those who
shall preach the Gospel of love to a
brother of another fold neat Sunday,
