E.—Sermon and five minute health talk. New Hope Baptist—Five minute talk. St. Mary Baptist—Sermon. Tabernacle Baptist—Sermon. Rev. F. L. Pike. Head of the Colored Ministerial Alliance was responsible for these activities. Monday—Hygiene Day—Mr. W. L. Hutcherson, chairman of this committee, accompanied by Public Health Nurses visited all the public schools. Literature and Hygiene and Sanitation was given out to the children, also many talks made in the classrooms of the advanced grades. The Y. W. C. A., also was a place of interest as the nurse, Miss Butler hung posters and distributed booklets and pamphlets. Much interest was created by the literature. Tuesday "Swe the Fly"—Mr. W. L. Hutcherson was also chairman of the committee Literature was distributed to the school children and to the horses by the Boy Scouts. In the evening a Health Movie was shown at the Y. W. C. A. called "Fighting for Dear Life!" The Health committee of the Y. W. C. A. joined to make the program a success and were proud to receive a large attendance of both adults and children for the Health Movie. Wednesday—Tuberculosis Day— Miss Josephine Butler and Miss Lillian Summers, Public Health Nurses, distributed literature on the Prevention and cure of Tuberculosis, and visited all the known Tuberculosis cases' Thursday—Children Health Day— Mrs. F. O. Miller was chairman of this committee. Special programs were presented in all the schools by the school children, and all their lessons for the day were correlated with Health and Hygiene teaching. At the W. C. A. the classes of the day were suspended for the Health program from two to five p. m. Baby Clinic was held. Many mothers wea present with their babies. The Nurses, Miss Butler and Miss Summers, and Doctors F. O. Miller, J. E. Farmen and P. M. Bell gave their time and helped to make the program a success. Babies present 10; Pre- school age children present 3; Total present, 13; Number of defects found in children (6 children defective) namely: Ruptures—Spinal Curvature, Enlarged Umbilicus' Anemia, Adenoids, and Otitis Media. At night the Health Picture was again shown, which taught objectively the importance of seeing your doctor and being examined. The children enjoyed it so much that they came back the next day only to be disappointed. Many inquiries were made as to when there would be another picture at the Y. W. C. A. Friday—Church Sanitation D a y—Rev. R. L. Pope, chairman, was responsible for a thorough survey of all the church properties, and reports them as follows: "Every church is in a Sanitary Condition." Saturday—General Survey—M r s. Iatherine Helm, President of the City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, was chairman of this committee. The survey made was very pleasing. Most vacant lots near residences were free from rubbish and under cultivation. Thus was ended a very profitable and pleasant week for both children and adults, with an inward resolve to ever keep clean, to inspect and be examined once a year and more if necessary. Out of our feeble attempt to make Negro Health Week a success, this year has grown a hope that we may continue a year's activity along with lines. Plans are being considered by the Health Committee of the Colored Y. W. C. A. to make the baby and pre-school age clinics a permanent affair. The film "Working for Dear Life" showed the need of frequent and regular physical examination of everyone. During the coming months we hope to be able to show more pictures of this kind in this same way. While the request that we observe MR.

MUSIC BY PAGEANT CHORUS. EVERYBODY INVITED. Bring an Offering for Pre-Congress Expenses BY REV. JAS. MOORE, PASTOR 1st Baptist Church, Nicodemus. (Continueo from Last Issue) and yet the work of Christ is suffering in almost every department. Jesus calls to the idle to go into my ward and work; Matt. 20:4. He says in John 4:36: he that remeeth receiveth wages and gathers fruit unto Life Eternal, that both he that sewth and they that reapeth may rejoice together. Note the work, the sower and the reaper shall rejoice together. Not they who sit and crise, not they who knock against a good purpose or good cause, viz: Home and Foreign Mission, the spiritual upbuilding of the church, not they sit and wish the church well without putting forth any effort to make it what it should be, but the actual workers for Christ) shall rejoice at His coming. For more proof read Luke 19:11-27.) IV. How can I become an active church member? Should be the inquiry of every one coming into the church of Christ. Christ gave an answer in to respect to attitude and action: 1. Deny yourself; 2. Take up thy cross; 3. Follow me; Mark 8.34. Paul answered by saying, Study to show thyself approved of God, a worldman that need not to be ashamed. 2 Timothy 2:15. In conclusion, dear readers, let me ask: Are you an active church member? Are you striving to help make your church what it should be? Are you idly standing, waiting for some one whom you think is but a rer-ed than you to fill your ears can't you hear the voice of Jesus saying as He said to Illis depe. The harvest is ripe, but the laborers are few. My desire is that you will delay no longer, but shoulder your responsibilities as a member of the church and work until you shall hear a voucher from Jesus saying, "Come ye blessed of my Father and inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; you have been faithful over a few things in this life, come up higher and I will make you ruler over many." (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C. April 16—At y. Cotton R. Wharton of Boston Mass., has been appointed to the Diplomatic Service as Secretary of the United States Legation at Monrovia. Lberna, it was announced last Wednesday. Attorney Wharton is a native of Maryland, but a product of the Boston Schools.

(Preston News Service) JERSEY CITY, N. J. April 17 Mr George E. Cannon physician and a national leader of the Republican members of the race, who delivered a speech seconding the nomination of Calvi Coulidge at the Cleveland Convention at Spring, died Sunday morning at his home here, at the age of 58. His death was due to injuries received a week previous when he fell on flight from a bus near his residence, fracturing several ribs and receiving a crusion of the brain he raised for a time following the accident but sank rapidly after midnight Sunday. He leaves a wife, a son, George Cannon and a daughter, Miss Gladys Cannon, in mother and four sisters, one of whom is Miss Etta Cannon. Secretary to the Henry Synder Junior High School here. Dr Cannon was born in Carthage Pa and was graduated from Lincoln University, taking his medical degree in DR. L. K. WILLIAMS IN THE EAST CONNELLSVILLE, PA, April 1- Monday, March 30, was a great day in Pittsburgh, for the Baptist in every man and woman of the race- Dr. L. K. Williams, President of the National Baptist Convention was the invited guest of the Ministerial Conference of Pittsburgh, promoted by the matchless and great leader of men, the President of the Baptist State Convention and pastor of the greatest church in this part of the State, Dr. J. C. Austin. At 12:30 p. m. President Taylor of the Ministerial Conference called the meeting to order by singing, "Jewish Keep Me Near The Cross," brief but spiritual praise service, the pastor of the great Ebenezer Baptist Church, Dr. J. C. Austin and Dr. Lucy Kirk. Williams were escorted to the platform. President of conference, introduced Dr. Austin, who in a very masterly way introduced Dr. Will'ars President of the National Convation of America to the Conference a main speaker of the day; and for an hour and forty minutes, he held the audience spellbound with his great Baptistic, and Racial Address. We are unable to give gist of address, but shall say in short it was a masterpiece in every way; the Baptist of Pennsylvania is awakened as never before on the great issue of the welfare and condition in our great denomination. There are 52 Baptist churches in Pittsburgh, and hundreds of Baptist churches in other districts and they were well represented in this great Ministerial Conference. Your humble servant was there and represented the Y. W. B. A. District Association in honor of our Baptist Hero. As I read from time to time of the great work you are doing in the dear old state o. Kansas, I am delighted to learn the facts, even in the milst a church work of this state is in a very prosperous condition; but there are many grave sectional problems, that must be solved before the work of this state shall be what the Lord pours not to be. But pastors from all parts of America are coming here and taking charge in the work and I feel assure that within a few years this will be the greatest Baptist revival in the world. We are moving along very nicely, my church gives $500 per year for mission alone, beside what it gives for education which amounts to more than $200. We are planning on being well represented in the National Baptist S. S. and B. Y. P. U. Congress in Wichita, Kansas, in June. May I say to all, let us put over God's great program. Yours for the Union Baptist Ch., I. D. Stevens, B. D. 1900 at the New York Pathological College. For the last thirty three years he had resided in Jersey City. In the primariles of spring last year he received the largest number of votes, which would by a custom have entitled him to the chairship of the delegation to the Republican National Convention, but he relinquished the honor in favor of Senator Walter E. Edge. In the following July he presided at a large meeting of Negroes which endured the candidacy for re-election of Senator Edge, who had worked for the Dyer Anti-lynching bill. On several occasions Dr. Cannon appeared as a spokesman for the race which showed their support by re-elected President of the National Colored Republican Conference in Atlantic City last Summer. Topcka Kansas Notes. THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. A. L. Branch, Pastor. Rev. A. W. Ross is making himself fit in meeting at our church. We are indeed proud of him; much good is being done. The auxiliaries are also taking on new life; Sister A. J. May, Pres. of Pastor's Aid is indeed proud of her group of followers. Su. Five Cents Per Copy IN RECITAL Miss Velna Mac Gardner made her debut into the Wichita Musical circle last evening at St. Paul A. M. E. Church in song recital; which was largely attended by a very appreciative audience bestowing their sincere good wishes for her future success in the music world. The last r. h. were sung in Indian costume. Mrs. M. K King, accompanist played a very beautiful piano, and organ solo. The Star's best wishes for success accompany her. I. S. Malone, Pres. of the W. H. F. Circle is doing fine; she also held a successful meeting Sunday afternoon. They are doing fine. Sister E. P. Thomas, Pres. of the B. Y. P. U. is very much pleased and is smiling over her well organized groups and too, there is much interest being talon in our Union. Bro. Lucas, Supt of our S. School is so proud of his school. Each Sunday morning, he is reciting new faces in our school and with the help of our pastor, we will surely put over a program for God. Our pastor is beginning to prove his power as a preacher and pastor. We are indeed proud of him and his wife; our building is too small for the crowd each night at our service. We are hoping for greater things yet to come; because we realize that there is nothing impossible with God because we know He said: And I, if I be lifted up will draw all men unto me. And that is what we are doing. Sister A J. May, reporter. Tabernacle Baptist Wm. McLyeen. Pastor. Sunday School opened at 9.30 Supt. Ed Oliver at his post. Large attendance. Easter program was rendered by the children under direc- tion of Mrs. Harriet Adkins at 11 a. m. Dr. D. R. McGee sung a solo. The pastor took the stand and rea- bed from the subject: "The Resur- cution of Christ." We caught a vision of Christ as a living Christ from the message. Mr. Webber, manager of of The National Life Benefit Insur- ance, united with the church. B. Y. P. U., held a splendid session at 6:20 p. m. The pastor preached, subject: "The Power of the Lord." The services were largely attended all day; things are looking new around Tabernacle. St. Paul Notes Easter was fittingly observed at all our services; Palms and Easter Lillies formed a beautiful decoration "Living With Risen Christ," was the theme of the sermon by our pastor Rev. R. L. Pope at 11 a.m. from the Gospel of Luke 24:5,6. "Why seek ye to living among the dead?" Today commemorate the resurrection, upon which all hopes of our salvation depend and bring with it a convincing evidence of a living Christ. Jesus is with us now, we hear His voice within and know that He still lives. We believe on Him by faith. He came forth to conquer. When we commune with Him we will feel secure whatever betide; knowing that right will triumph. Jesus lives, we shall live also. The session of our Bible School was held at 9:15 a.m. A splendid attendance. The young ladies Class, Miss Clara Armstead, teacher led as banner class. An entertaining program was rendered in the afternoon at 3 p.m. by the scholars from the private and both departments. Easter Eggs were distributed to all present. At evening a large congregation assembled and enjoyed the program given consisting of anthems and special music and other selections appropriate for the occasion. The Allen Stars held their meeting at 6 p.m. Bible School meetings are held on Tuesday evenings. Stewardess Board No. 3 served the weekly dinner on Thursday. RELIGIOUS AFFARS OF KANSAS Sunday School Lesson (Bv REV P B FITZWATFR UD D of the Evening School Moody Bible initute of Chicago) (C. 1928 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for April 19 LIFE IN THE EARLY CHURCH LESSON TEXT—Acts 4 31-5 11. GOLDEN TEXT—The multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul"—Acts 4 32 PRIMARY TOPIC—A Story About Giving JUNIOR TOPIC—How the First Christians Loved One Another Christians Loved One Another INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How the Early Christians Lived Together. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Lesson From the Early Church 1. Characteristics of the Primitive Church (vv. 31-35). 1. It Was a Praying Church (v. 31). These early Christians for every want and every need betook them selves to God in prayer. 2. It Was a Spirit filled Church (v. 31). When they prayed, the place was shaken wherein they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. 3. It Was a Church Which Had Great Boldness in Preaching the Word of God (v. 31) The ministers of a Spirit filled church will not offer any apologies for the Bible, but will expend all their energy in fearlessly preaching it. 4. It Was a United Church (v. 32). They were all of one heart and one soul. This shows that they had a unity of feeling and purpose. 5. It Was a Charitable and Generous Church (v. 32) They held nothing back from those who had need. As needs arose, supplies were given from a common fund. 6. Its Ministers Had a Powerful Testimony (v. 33). This shows that there must be a personal experience before there can be a powerful testimony. 7. It Was a Church Whose Mem bership Exhibited Unblemished Char acter (v. 33). Great grace was upon them all II. Barnabas' Generous Act (iv. 8637). He sold a piece of land and turned over all the proceeds thereof to be used for the help of those in need. It should be like in mind, however, that it is not said that Barnabas sold all the land he had. III. The Sanctity of the Church Vindicated (5:1:11) This new community is now for the first time called the church. The men of the church in Acts 2:47 is spurious. They now have broken with Judaism so that their success depends upon their being recognized. Since this new community superseded the old, God was to make His dwelling place among them—the very sacredness of the tabernacle and temple was transferred to them. This lesson, the church itself must learn, as well as the Jewish mass surrounding it. The sacredness of God's dwelling place men are slow to learn. Moses did not take off his shoes until hidden by the Lord Nadab and Abihu must be stricken down in the beginning of the Mosaic economy for their presumptuous offering of strange fire before the Lord Achan was put to death for secreting a part of the booty soon after entering the promised land. So at the beginning of the church, this warning was needed on the part of the church to prevent the hypocrisy of double service. 1. The Occasion Which Brought This Dreadful Judgment on Ananias and Sapphira (vv. 1-4). It was their hypocritical limitation of the generous act of Barnabas. He and his wife compiled together in this defiance of God. They wanted the honor without paying the price. The same love of praise is causing many in the church today to imitate their dreadful mistake. Peter told them they had not lied to men, but to God. So far as we know Ananias did not speak a word, but his actions spoke louder than his words. Such actions could only be accounted for by the fact that Satan filled their hearts. But that did not excuse them. They were responsible for allowing Satan a place in their hearts. We should learn from this that God and manmmon cannot be served at the same time. People today are walking in the way of Ananias when they sit down at the Lord's table with unregenerate hearts. 2. The Judgment Which Fell (vv. 5-10). Both Ananias and Sapphira fell down dead and the young men carried them away for burial. 3. Great Fear Came Upon the Church (v. 11). This vindication caused the people to know that God was with them, and it also kept the hypocrites from joining with them (v. 13). Let us beware! Presistence of Life Strange, isn't it, that marvelous persistence of life! But that is a way that life bus. We speak of it sometimes as very fleeting and transitory, and yet there are so many things about us, after all, that are very hard to kill. Tears Shall Come No More God washes the eyes by tears until they can behold the invisible land, where tears shall come 'no more.' H. W. Beocher. ```markdown ``` Kansas City, Kansas. 8TH STREET TABERNACLE Rev. D. H. Jackson, Pastor We have closed a great revival sinners converted, backsliders reclaimed, made many additions to the church. We feel that a great goo has been accomplished through the preaching of the Gospel by Rev. Campbell. Friday night, Rev. Campbell preached the Baptismal sermon, Matt. 3:13-15: "Suffer it to be so now John." He told about the conversation between Jesus and John; Many points and truths he told of the baptism, was sweet to the soul He closed by saying the whole world was Baptist by the flood covering the earth. He speaks with power and they hear; his invitation was come on, come now. Attendance grew larger each night. Our pastor buried nvects with Christ in baptism, which is one of his greatest pleas u.s; large crowd present both up I down stairs. Sunday School was well attended.

We regret very much to lose Mrs. Gillum, a pleasant, peaceful woman and worker, yet we must submit ourselves to the will of God. She was a member of King Solomon Baptist church and president of that Mission Circle; Rev. S. Montgomery, pastor. The missional workers will miss Mrs. Gillum's pleasant face and lovely smiles and zoological work. We believe she has a peaceful rest in Jesus. Her tunic was largely attended; hundreds of people could not get into the church. A beautiful life lived. City Mission meets 3rd Friday in each month, Mrs. L. B. Forrest, Pres. Mrs. H. D.

One lady learned and now has several orders; we gather old clothes from those who will give them, and nate baby garments for the chest so we can help when we find a baby in need; then some things we sell at 1 and 25c and that money goes to buy medicine for sick babies if parents are not able to do so.

JOHN MISSION CIRCLE St. John Baptist Mission Circle held their regular meeting Wednesday afternoon at the church, goodly number present; lesson taught from 3rd chapter of Rev. by assistant teacher, Mrs. Margret Finch; lesson was thoroughly discussed by the ladies and in their discussion each one spoke of their former pastor, Rev. S. A. Williams, of how they miss him, and how they regret to have him leave. There were times when he was absent but we always looked forward for his coming, but our looking will be in vain. His method of teaching and outlining was wonderful. Too much cannot be said in commendation of his efforts and too great respect and honor cannot be bestowed upon his memory as a pastor. He is a man of great faith, one who gave himself and all that he had to the cause he regarded of greater importance than anything else. Coffeyville, is very fortunate to get a man like Pastor Williams. He is not only efficient but he can always be relied upon for an inspiration and a suggestion when one's own thinking powers have apparently ceased to function. There has been a very noticeable increase in the members enrolled in our mission circle during his administration both in membership and interest. The plans which insured our circle a success, was not made by a successful business man but by our own pastor; however he bore the heavy the responsibility and did more than any other to develop a strong church, clearly he is a man of God's own choosing to carry forward his responsible work. We greatly regret to have him leave us but while he is absent from us and gone to another field of labor, he still works through those whom he trained for service in the cause of Christ. Met in its regular meeting Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock a very splendid meeting was given in story form by the different members of the circle. Subject as follows: "Christ Before Pilate" Mrs. L. F. Hayes; "The Saviour on the Cross," Mrs. Lucy Green; "Our Lord's Resurrection," Mrs. Elizabeth Hayes; "Forty Days and the Ascension," Mrs. Mary Lopaz. Each lady gave a very interesting talk on their subject. It was so well enjoyed they suggested that the president use the same method in our next meeting. The subjects for our next meeting are as follows: "The Raising of Lazárus," Mrs. M. v : 'Lucifer, Son of the Morning," Mrs. Elmora Hudson; "The Shunamite Woman," Mrs. Daisy Hill; "Abraham, a Blessing to the Whole World," Mrs. Margret Finch. A committee was appointed to visit Mr. Clarence Hudson who has been disposed for a week or longer to have prayer and carry a token of remembrance. Mr. Hudson is a very congenial young man. The ladies have planned for a two days' carnival in the next two weeks for which they hope will be a success as they are anxious to raise their Ladget for the district. There was a large number out for S. School and a very interesting lesson was taught. Easter greeting was given to all present, by the teachers and Supt. At 11 a. m. Rev. Foster, evangelist of Texas (white) preached a strong and logical sermon from this group of texts: Gen. 2:15, 17; Matt. 26:33; John 19:41,42. His subject was, "The Three Gardens of the Bible;" viz-1st, The Garden of Eden; 2nd, The Garden of Gethsemane; 3rd, The Garden of the Crucifixion. The Ladies' Aid Society met at the home of Mrs. Wallace, Travis; a very interesting meeting was held. The Bible lesson was taught by Mrs. Wm. Garvin and the "Training for Service Study," by Mrs. O. E. Jackson. Next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Wm. Finch. A very splendid Easter program was rendered Sunday nite by the S. School, and was a credit to both teachers and pupils. I.

S THE aim of the Colored Baptist of the State ought in fairness to the principles of higher education for the youth life of Kansas be directed towards a higher conception of the remarkable values along Educational lines afforded by the State Vocational College located at Topeka. Kansas has placed thousands of dollars in the school and the school and the Colored Baptist of the State would do well to fully awake to the existing situation and utilize the school before an existing opportunity is lost with the passing of the school into the hands of influences opposed to the education of Negroes entirely. Forces which would survive must be alert and awake to the political status of Educational systems as well as to the more intricate features of racal education. s THE greatest mission of the school is the proper drawing out of the subject mind of the youth and fitting it for useful endeavor where it shall in competitive action, take for itself a place in the sunlight of human activities. This purpose can be only expected when the press assumes a more liberate attitude towards the individual work of the present day underpaid school teacher. It will be promoted when from the pulpit, public forum and home fireside, more hearty endorsement of the performed and less suggestive criticism is made of the individuality of the teacher. Service to humanity, must outweigh any failure of the school teacher to meet the whims of individuals, who so often have not measured up to the qualifications, necessary to place them in the position of judgement upon the work of those who have met the present-day standards of preparedness. 3 LOCALS G.

Coffeyville Notes. Easter Sunday at Calvary Baptist Church was a Memorable occasion for many reasons. First of all it was Eastertide and the weather was ideal It was the last day of the sixty day contest rally between the men and women. It was also the day appointed for the opening of a ten revival campaign conducted by Rev. Mrs. Blake. Services for the day opened with sunrise prayer at which a goodly number appeared. This service was in many ways indicative of what followed. The spirit of the meeting was fine. Bible School at 9:30 overflowed By 11:30 the auditorium was well filled. Pastor Williams announced as a text for the morning sermon;—"What Think Ye of Christ?" The discourse that followed will not soon be forgotten; it was a flaming message, eloquent, logical and convincing. The response was fine. There were six accessions; two by letter and four candidates for baptism. Evangelist Mrs. Blake preached a great sermon at the 3:30 service and made a very favorable impression. This impression grew on those, who heard her at the night service. The meetings are very opportune and with the right response will accomplish great good. As to the rally, the men lost their crown. Final reports follow: Men's division..... $270.03 Women's Division..... 345.00 Auxiliaries..... 112.00 Other sources..... 20.90 Total..... $753.93 Fastor's Aid Society recently or ganized, raised this in two weeks, $25.50. Winfield, Kansas Notes Last Sunday was a day of rejoicing for the 2nd Baptist Church; everybody was dressed in Spring attire anxious for worship. The church had been tastily decorated, many potted plants, given as memorials, were to b found among the floral decorations that had been banked around the altar, too much credit cannot be given Mrs. Frank Montgmery, Mrs. C. A. Nichols and Mrs. Nora Simmons for the severing of these beautiful flowers. The services all day were excellent. A large number gathered for the early morning prayer meeting, a real pentecostal shower was experienced by all who had gathered. The Sunday School under the leadership of Mrs. Simmons, assistant Supt., had the largest number in attendance of any of the S. Schools of the city. An Easter Egg "hunt" was a novel feature of these services for the children. At the 11 o'clock worship the pastor spoke to a crowded house using as a theme "The Resurrection;" tears of joy were shed as he so powerfully brought to our minds the why of the resurrection and its effect upon modern life and living. B. Y. P. U. enjoyed a splendid attendance and discussion. Mr. Frank Cassious, president. The climax of the day's activities came at the evening worship. The bidding was literally packed with persons, desiring to witness the pageant, "The Ten Virgins" rendered by the choir, under direction of Mrs. Helen Harris Fisher, it was pronounced one of the best seen in this city city for some time. A large number of members took advantage of the pastor's absence from home last Wednesday evening to surprise the pastor and wife; the pastor had gone to Arkansas City, to attend the funeral services of Rev. Wood's father-in-law upon his return he found the dining room filled with many good things. Those taking part in the "Ten Virgins:"—Mrs. Helen Harris Fisher Mrs. J. C.
