COLORED EXPANSION Rapid increases in colored population throughout the United States, and the advance made by Negroes in business and industry, have caused the 32,00 colored memorial o. Young Men's Christian Association to turn their attention to heretofore untouched fields. In the small rural areas of the South and the huge metropolitan districts of the North, Negro Association finds one o. greatest opportunities for development, in the interest of characterbuilding among boys and men. Meanwhile, the colored industrial, transportation, and agricultural fields have been barely touched. The Negro Year Book and the Y. M. C. A. Year Book for 1925-26 show that while there were more than 566,000 Negroes in industry in 1920, there are at present only eight Negro Industrial Associations serving about forty plants and 6136 members. Two Negro agricultural associations, both of which lack building facilities, exist for the 2,178,888 engaged in agriculture. And only one railroad Y. M. C. A., for colored is maintained, aside from accommodations in numerous cities which the Association provides for pullman Porters. The Twenty-first National Conference on Colored Work to be held from October 21 to 23, at Washington, D.C., where the first Negro association was established 72 years ago, is expected to spend much time on the question of expansion. Dr. John R. Mott, General Secretary of the National Council; S. Wirt Wiley, Associate General Secretary; Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse College at Atlanta, Ga., regarded as one of the leading Negro educators in the country, and Dr. R. R. Moton, chairman of the Colored Department of the National Council and the successor of Booker T. Washington, at Tuskegee Institute, will be present. With such leaders, the conference, says Channing H. Tobias, Senior Secretary "of the Colored Work Department, cannot help but mark "a great forward movement in Y. M. C. A. Work among colored men." REGISTRATION AT HOWARD, LARGE REGISTRATION AT HOWARD, LARGE (Columbian Press Bureau) WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—Howard University, according to the registrar, will enroll for its fall term the largest number of students in its history. Permission to the register has been requested by 947 applicants. Registration for the college term, begins September 29th, to be followed by registration of medical, dental, pharmaceutical and law college students. There were 893 students enrolled in the day classes of the spring quarter, this number now being exceeded by that of applicants for admission to freshman classes. Last year the entire college department enrollment was 1,339, of which number 97 graduated, leaving 1,242 who will return to the university to complete their education. In spite of higher requirements for admission, Dean Butler R. Pratt, of the School of Religion; Dean E. A. Balloch, of the School of Medicine; and Dean Fenton W. Booth, of the School of Law, report that the number of applicants for admission to their respective schools is larger than ever before 4 Of Topeka, Executive Secretary of the State Convention in session at Sapra, Kansas, this week. TO A WILD ROSE WILLIAM EDGAR BAILEY The wild rose silently peeps from its uncouth habitation, thrives and flourishes in its glory; its fragrant bud bows to sip the nectar of the morning. Its delicate blossom blushes in the balmy breeze as the wild wind tells its tale of adoration. Performing well its part, it withers and decays; the chirping sparrow perches serenely on its boughs, only to find it wrapped in sadness and solemnity—yet is grief stained leaf, weatherbraten branches, silently chant euphonic choruses in natural song; in solemn commemoration of its faded splendor. Dead, yes dead—but in thy hibernal demise, dost thou bequest a truth eternal as the stars. I saw thee Rose, when the elf of spring hung thy floral firstling upon that thorny bower and robed thy ungainly form in a garb of green and Rose thou wert sweet! I saw the same vernal sprite pay homage to thy high browed kins-man in yonder stench bestified dell, and in his pause of an instant, baptized its sacred being, in the same aromatic blood. I saw thee Rose, in thy autumnal desolation; when the Storm of God was wont to do thee harm,—laid waste thy foliage, and cast at they feet as a challenge, his mantle of snow, and the Law of Non-resistance was still unbroken. Tell me the story Rose! Do the stars in their unweary watch, breathe forth upon thee, a special benediction from the sky? Or did the wind waft a drop of blood from the "Cross" to the dell, to sanctify thy being? Oh, leave me not thou Redeemer of the Woods, to plod the way alone! My Nazarene, grant but to me a double portion of thy Humble pride—and in my briny, grief, permit thou me to pluck a fragrant thought from thy Thorny Bosom!

Determination on the part of the nefarious Ku Klux Klan to further intimidate and repel the aspirations and ambitions of Negroes to live in respected and improved seditions of urban centers was again manifested on Friday morning when Dr. B. H. Lawrence, a prominent physician here, reported to police that three masked men wearing white robes, and fourth wearing a black robe, were walking back and forth in front of his home. The police say that when they reached the physician's home the men had departed, but "K. K. K., Beware" was chalked in front of the steps of Dr. Lawrence's home. Occupants of the house told police that the letters had been written by one of the masked men. FALLEN ASLEEP Just as we go to press, the sad news comes of the passing of Dr. E. B. Topp of Jackson, Miss., Dr. Topp was a former pastor of the Farish Street Baptist Church and President of the Baptist State Convention of Mississippi. A few years ago he moved to Water Valley, and took up a pastorate; later went back to Jackson. He attended the S. S. and B. Y. P.

EXCEPTIONAL VOICE RECITAL It was the pleasure of many of music lovers, white and colored Wichl a, to hear Mme. Odelle Stone Gray of Chicago, on Monday, Oct. 1. She has a Coloratura sop. and voice superior quality. All you can hear such expressions as these, from the who heard her: "The best I've ever heard, and I heard all of the leading Negro artists last summer." "It is best that has ever been to Wichlta "Sweetest tone on high notes." "Superior breath control." "Did she ever breathe?" "Wichita is lucky in having her here as voice specialist." Le me know when and where she was singing again." The music stores clerks welcomed Mme. Gray to their vocal stacks anytime and assured her to their assistance. Mme. Gray does no, advertise to a large extent, but is rather reserve and prefers to let her service make advertise. Much praise is extended the flatirie Mr. U. O. Lace, who is excellent with the flute. He said has Mme. Gray he been a real singer, never would he have consented to play on program with her. Her unassuming man would never pronounce or denounce her ability. Colored voters of Wichita, attention! Dear Mr. and Mrs. Voter:—Have you taken time to look over the entire situation in your fair city? You pay taxes, you cast votes for some-one and what good are they doing? Look at your court house for instance, you elect dozens of men to office; after election, what does your people get? O you will say, "I don't want no city nor county job." Because you don't, does that mean, no one else does? No it just means that you are too busy after you vote, if you should happen to vote, to protect your vote after or before it is case. We send our boys and girls to schools and educate them and what do we have to offer them when they finish school? Are we building big business, are we opening avenues for them? No, we are running around fighting each other with our own little petty fealous ideas in mind. Ask yourself what are you doing for the future? What have you done or what are you going to do? Remember when we your friends have laid your body to rest, there is nothing that lives on but your gift and your deeds. This is epoch making time in ourselves and this world takes us at our own valuation. Ask and it shall be given, knock and it shall be opened unto you. Say brother, do you feel in anyway indebted to posterity? If you do, are you helping to put any program over that, is world-while spiritually, civically or politically? Let's stop DR. W. A.

Let's lay our likes and dislikes down, face this problem as it is and fight it out at the polls and not with each other. Now don't say this is a State condition for it is not; for most any Governor we have had, did, and has given us almost any job we could qualify for, so you see it is local. Did you ever ask any of these office seekers what he intended to do for your group, if elected? No you didn't; but you let them tell you that old story about being raised by a black mammy or how many years aunt Sally worked in their home. Stop them the next time by telling them, 'I am that old black aunty's son, and, what are you going to do for me?' If you mean to do the right thing for yourself, register, so you have a vote coming, and on election day go to the polls and vote right and see that your neighbor does the same thing. This article is written for thinking men and women; when you read it pass it on to your friend, as these conditions are far more acute than you least dream. And for you folks who want to pass cards out on election day just to be seen at the polls, ask me for the $2.00 you are going to get and I will give it to you, to keep you at home, after you have voted.—B.

GOLDEN TEXT—'It is not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace"—Acts 18.9. PRIMARY TOPIC—God Protecting Paul. JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul in Workshop and Pulpit and Pulpit INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP- Judith Corinth IC—Paula Experiences in Corinth YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP. IC—Paul Plants the Church in Corinth. I. The True Missionary Method (vv 1-3). Paul came to Corinth a stranger in a strange city. He did not have an advance agent to do his advertising His method in gaining a foothold in Corinth was as follows: 1. Finding a Home (v. 2). This he found with Aquila and Priscilla, Jews, who were recently expelled from Rome by the cruel edict of Claudius. $ ^{2} $ 2. He Tolled for Ils Daily Bread (v. 8). He was of the same craft with them, being a tentmaker. Every child among the Jews was taught some trade by means of which he could gain a livelihood, should occasion require. 11. Preaching in the Synagogue at Corinth (vv. 4, 8). 1. Though Compelled to Toll for a Living While Getting a Foothold in Corinth, He Did Not Lose Sight of His Main Work (v. 4). He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, persuading the Jews and Greeks. While the missionary should not be above honest toll when necessity arises, he must not allow toll to interfere with preaching the gospel. 2. His Activity Was Increased When Silas and Timothy Came (v. 5). This resulted from three causes: (1) They brought good news from the church at Thessalonica (I Thess. 3 6). To hear of the steadfastness of those who had confessed Christ under his ministry, put new vigor into his labors. (2) They brought pecuniary gifts from the Macdonaldian church (Phil. 4:15; H Cor 11:9). Being relieved from the necessity of tolling for a living, he could now devote more time and energy to the preaching of the gospel. (3) Silas and Timothy became assistants to Paul in the work. 3. Paul Opposed (v. 6). Ills increased activity was met with increased opposition. As the Lord's ministers become more aggressive in their work, the ministers of Satan put forth corresponding efforts in opposition. 4. Paul Announces His Purpose to Turn to the Gentiles (v. 6). Because of their blasphemy and opposition, he ceased to work among the Jews. There is a time when good judgment causes one to abandon work where efforts have been fruitless, but it is difficult to know just when to do it. Oftentimes lasting harm is done to the work by pressing efforts when people have turned against the truth. Paul's declaration, "I am clean," was a most solemn one. 5. He Kid Not Go Par Away (v. 7). He remained sufficiently near those whose hearts God had touched that they could easily find him. It is likewise true that although Christ is obliged to depart from the soul that refuses Him entrance, He lingers with learning love around that heart. 6. His Success (v. 8). Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, was converted Perhaps Paul's severe notion in turning away from them moved Crispus to act. III Paul's Vision (vy, 0-11). His experiences since coming to Europe were very trying. He needed encouragement at this time. It is just like the Lord to come at the time of the servant's greatest need. Note the Lord's words to him. 1. "Be Not Afraid." When one is executing the commission of the Lord, he need not be afraid. 2. "Speak and Hold Not The Peace." The one who has heard the voice of God cannot refrain from speaking. He cannot be still 3. "I Am With Thee." The Lord is with every one who faithfully carries out His commission. 4. "No Man Shall Set on Thee, to Hurt Thee." The one sent by the Lord to do a work is immune from danger and harm until its work is done. 5. "I Have Much People in This City." It is most encouraging to know that in the great cities the Lord has His own people, and that the one who goes in His name shall have fruit for his service. All Are His It is not the high summer alone that is God's. The winter also is His and all man's winters are Ills—the winter of our poverty, the winter of our sorrow, the winter of unhappiness, even the winter of our discontent—George Macdonald. Character Character requires a still air. There may be storm and upheaval around, but there must be peace within for the soul to thrive.—Kev, T. T. Munger.

Our rally service for 30 days' individual drive: Rev. Utsey of the C. M. E. Church, brought us a wonderful sermon, taken from the 14th chapter of Mark: "Stay Near Jesus." Taking Peter, he outlined very clearly the many things that befell Peter, by following Jesus afar off, and admonished us to stay near Jesus and showing how very necessary it is for us to stay where Jesus can use us and do effective work in His cause. Rally continued until night. 8 o'clock, Rev. J. A. Dold, 1st assistant pastor, delivered a very powerful sermon, filled with the Holy Spirit; from St. John 18.36; text "The Visible and the Invisible Kingdom." A very strong sermon and our hearts were made to burn as he preached. Reports were hail from rally; total raised $11550. We want to thank Rev. Utsey and his people, and the many friends who helped us go 'over the top' in this rally. We are still thanking God for Pastor Williams, whom He sent to us in a needy time and who through His guidance, is putting the program over. One of the outstanding features of our work this week was the consolidation of the Mission Circle (Senior) and the Amanda Thompson Womanhood Club of the Calvary Baptist Ch. by Pastor Williams re-organizing, which is destined to be one of the greatest Mission Circles in our State.

Members of the Second Baptist Church were well blessed all day Sunday by having a splendid Gospel minieer with them who delivered two sermons during the day. Sunday morning, after a most enjoyable Sunday School lesson, Rev John Allen of the Central Baptist Ch. of Denver, Colo., took his text from Psa. 118:6, subject: "Christian Testimony;" and delivered a very practical sermon. Rev. Allen brought out that in order for a Christian to give the right kind of testimony, he must have had experimental dealings with Christ Jesus. He divided his text into three clauses: 1st, Does Jesus Care? 2nd, Prevention of God; and 3rd, Sense of Hih Love. At 6:30, we had quite an attendance for B. Y. P.

Hayes, back after an extensive visit in Hillsboro, Ill. At 11 o'clock the pastor spoke from 1st Cor. 1:15 and 2nd Cor. 1:14; Theme: "Victory Through Christ;" Outlines:—1. Life is a Battle; 2. The Christian Has the Victory Before he Fights; 3. Victories to be Overcome:—(a) In our Own Territory; (b) In the Neighboring Territory; 4. Things to be Overcome in our lives:—Selfishness, Malice, Hatred, Tongue, and Breaking Peace. This was indeed a strong message, showing each one of us the great necessity of overcoming these things in our lives and how it can only be done through Christ. In the evening both Unions were well attended. Program Group in the Scnor Union had charge of the program.

WHAT a frail thing man is; resolves and dissolves, he climbs and falls, he thinks and goes crazy, he helps life and destroys life, he loves, and hates and at last he looks up to something higher than himself and says without the aid of something drawing me upward I can do nothing. He finds a focus on something and he calls that being God and then he claims: But with His help I can do all things! He wants to be something, so be something so he starts toward that being that is something, so he is on his way from his frail state to be like his Maker who is allserength. MISSISSIPPI published to the world the strength of the law and the kind of citizens, who lived in and around New Albany, when they ran down the law, overpowered it and took from it the accused; in fact these people are more than the law. No law in heaven nor on earth could take its course where the hearts of men are ignorant of God and His righteousness. What does the law amount to the lower animals: You can plead until the stars refuse to shine, but unless there is a spark of love for right, it will never change the low ideas; and destruction will happen at anytime. There is something wrong that could be tested out, if the worse criminal in the world was given a trial. The Negro does not believe that every time the old plea that "he was after a white woman" but it is a fine way to keep the world from knowing how weak some of the white women are. The natives of heathen lands don't believe that, it would be one out of a million that would willfully and maliciously tackle any woman without some grounds and especially go into criminal acts. We dare Mississippi to give that case a fair trial and let the truth be known, the world would be astonished; the aggressor is not always the one who is dead. If he was guilty, everything there was white to condemn him: the lawyers, judges, and courts. Why not give his case a trial? If there would be a matrial, he certainly would have gotten the worst of the deal. There is something wrong that would not stand a trial, is the belief of the people who think, or there is too much ignorance in the community to give anybody a fair trial; but like low animals, they must fight it on low plains. Poor America, God saw Cain and He sees you! THE Bible says: Unless we agree to not attempt to walk together; but we have some folks who will attempt to put themselves in places where they know they are not wanted. What is the idea? You can be no help to the community, anywhere you have no business. If you are so bad you don't want to live among your own people, then you should be ashame to live among other people; but if you are so far advanced that you can live the best life in the best places on earth, then you are in fine shape to help your own people and they need it worse. Then why should you leave to undesirable spots, where the people are impure enough at heart to say that your very presence will reduce property? It is a false notion when he thinks that his flesh or his color makes him better than other human beings—it is what is back of that flesh or color that counts. The first is only the color of the house and if God chose to have some brown houses, some black houses, some yellow houses and some white houses for His souls to live in, it is His business and we are sure of the fact. He will give us no demerit marks for the color of the house; but He is going to credit or discredit us for the way we keep this house. He is going to credit or discredit us for the way we help others keep their house. He is anxious that every soul have a full change, and the ones who hold back this development will be the ones who will have to give account in judgment. It is a pitiful condition here in America, when you think, that we don't pass this way but once, and we are elected and called of God to bring forth fruit for His Kingdom and that we don't have but one chance, and that the fruit must be used by our fellow-man right here on earth, that we might be strong enough to walk together, and live together that we might be in unity, so we can make harmonious citizens in the New Jerusalem: If we cannot get together here, this is the last chance and somebody will have to stay out of the Kingdom. The earth was given that men might practice the love of God on each other, then if you don't practice the game here, you cannot play it in Heaven. The Bible says: He that says he loves God and hates his brother is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
