Sedan News Tellings Sunday School at 10:00 a.m. was largely attended; Superintendent and teachers at their post. Many good thoughts were brought out on the lesson; Review by pastor, Rev. R. B. Bullock. At the closing of school, a very spiritual praise service was enjoyed for a few minutes. The Pastor, Rev. B. Bullock, then took the stand; chose for a text, 1st Corinthians, 12th chapter, 3rd verse: "And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned and have not charity, it profsteth me nothing." And preached a very interesting sermon. At 8 p. m., after enjoying a pentecostal praise service, Pastor Bullock came to us with another burning message, found in Revelations 22:12; subject: "Christian Reward;" Text: "Behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me to give every man according as his work shall be." He exhorted his hearers to live righteous lives that they my receive a righteous reward when the battle of life is ended. The Cannon Ball Club No 2 runs an entertainment Oct. 10; quite enjoyable.

BERLIN POLICE ARREST LITTLE THIEVES WITH WHITE FLAG AND BLACK (Preston News Service) BERLIN, Oct. 29—A children's Ku Klux Klan, flaunting a white flag on which was painted a black cross, has been rounded up by the police. Its members, a 13-year-old-girl, and seven boys about 12 years old, were charged with looting jewelry shops and department stores over a period of seven months. The youthful members of the band, police say, saw the Ku Klux Klan mentioned in the newspapers. Without knowing its meaning, they decided it would make a good name for a bandits' club. Young Willie Raus was chosen chieftain, not knowing how to carry the simile of the American organization further, and designated as the klan headquarters an unused water tower in Charlottenburg, a suburb Having elaborately decorated the liar with stolen furnishings, they craved to have their meals there. Mathilda Schoen, the lone Amazon in the gang, was appointed cook. A stove was stolen, as was everything else, and Mathilda prepared the food in expensive dishes. The idyll ended rudely when police spied Raus, a ragged urchin, sporting a costly gold watch. They followed him to the den and rounded up the others. AFRICA NEEDS HELP OF NEGRO IN AMERICA LIMITLESS OPPORTUNITY SEEN FOR TRAINED LEADERS WHO WISH TO SERVE. (Commission on Interracial Co-operation) ATLANTA, GA., Oct. 30-Africa offers illimitable opportunities for influence and usefulness to well trained American Negroes, capable of leadership, according to Dr. D. Westermann, professor of African languages in the University of Berlin, who is now in America studying the status of the race in this country. As missionaries, educators, and agricultural and industrial leaders they could render the greatest service to natives, who are still immeasurably below the standards attained by the colored people of America. As an illustration, Dr. Westerman mentioned the very valuable work done some years ago in German Togoland by five graduates of Tuskegee Institute who were employed by the German government to instruct the natives in the production of cotton. Partly as a result of their work, Africa is fast becoming one of the great cotton-growing countries of the world, and the native growers are profiting accordingly. In the Field of religious effort, the work of Max Yergen, an American Negro sent out to Africa, some years ago by the Y, M. C. A., is exercising a very wide influence and is favorably known on three continents. Dr. Westermann, a former missionary to Africa and in close touch with conditions, believes that there are similar opportunities for great usefulness in many lines and that well-trained American Negroes, desirous of going to Africa in the spirit of service, woul be welcomed both by the natives and by the colonial governments. Dr. Westermann, a former mission gratification as the high degree of education, rharacter, and material prosperity attained by many American Negroes. He was particularly struck by the ability manifest in the efficient management of Tuskegee Institute and of the great Tuskegee hospital which he recently visited. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Oct. 30, 1925. IMMORTAL AMERICA God is not dead, because the wheels of justice move slowly, for the mills of the gods grind slowly! I am not dead, because the head winds of unrest flutter even rent the canopy of hell—because cliques run riot and rampant thru the world! I am the embodiment of the law; nothing escapes my all-seeing eye and my attentive ear. I measure with unfailing accuracy the muffled pulse throbs of the nation and note the heavy but agile tread of marching armies. I am your uncle, I am your Uncle Sam! I stay at will the blood rusty belligerent hand of Europe—I speak to the Bolshevism of Asia; it skulks but returns a penitent with garments prayer washed, albescent, like the cleansing power of her Arctic snows! I am the silent partner of justice. I am the deathless cohort of mercy, I am the golden hope of the world. I am your Uncle Sam! Mistake me not, however, ye worshippers of this republic, for I am neither Jew nor Gentile; neither white nor black! Color is by no means an essential entity in the pageant of human progress nor in the scheme of things eternal. If I were white, the name of Frederick Douglas would have long since perished amid the archives of the dusty past; Tuskegee would have died in its infancy and the name of Booker Washington would not have lived to grace the lips of men. But I am not white! If I were Jew, shylock would still bare the manly bosom of the world; puncture the veins of tottering humanity and measure the drops of its calmson bow in a crucible of gold. But I am not Jew! I am not unmindful Ethiopia, of your briny tears—tears that stir reluctantly, as if moving their burden thru the valley of sorrow—tears that burn like vitriol—tears that glisten as if vitrified in the caldron of aching years; but I am not black! If I were even human, I would fathom the depth of your sorrow—from the year of 1619, I would mould your every heartache into a bullet and lashed by the fury af my heaving bosom, I would decimate the earth! But I am not even human, I am immortal, I am the emblem of Immortal America! My fist is clinched in righteous resolve because I abhor injustice, but I must await the inevitable hour. Fly eagle to the uttermost corners of this domain! Tell the oppressed of this nation that I am as a voice screaming from the summit of glorified freedom that liberty might not perish forever from the earth! I am the spirit, the very breath of national existence. I am love to those who obey me—I am stayed mercy to those who ignorantly break my righteous law, but the day of recompense will surely come. I know all—see all. Tell them that my quiet contempt and thoughtful reticence is not to be compared to the awfulness of my judgment when I come. I am the law! I am the law! I am justice! I am vengeance—I will repay! "Whatever else may be done to bring about a better relationship between the races and whatever constructive measures or plans may be considered, it is a fundamenta' necessity that violence or lawlessness of any kind should be prevented. This is not simply a question that involves the Negro race but the entire structure of human society and civilization." Dr. Edwin Mims. Vanderbilt University. Nashville, Tenn.

Gates, Jr., employed by the University,ortland Cement here, were burned to death in their beds shortly before 7 o'clock Friday morning. Neighbors with much difficulty restrained the mother, Mrs. Sadie Gates, from dashing through the barrier of smoke and flames, in an attempt to rescue the little ones. The dead were: Winfield, aged 5; Gencvieve, aged 3 and Elansee Gates, aged two. The father had gone to work shortly before the fire. It is said that the mother, after preparing breakfast for her husband, went to the second floor of the building to call on another family. While upstairs the kitchen stove is said to have become overheated from a coal fire and ignited the woodwork in the kitchen. It is said the children were sleeping in one bed in a room adjoining the kitchen. It is thought they were suffocated by the fumes before the flames reached them. Their mother and members of the family upstairs jumped out windows to an embankment at the rear of the house. Mrs. Gates, frantic with a desire to rescue the children, sought to enter the house to bring her children to safety, but others restrained her. The house was burned to the ground. The charred bodies of the children were found later. The mother is in a Pittsburgh hospital suffering from shock and grief. BRITISH TAKE STEPS TO WIPE OFF LAST SPOT OF HUMAN SLAVERY GENEVA, Oct. 30—The last spot on the British empire's map where human slavery exists is said to be the Huawking Valley In the upper portion of the Indian province of Burma. By next May British hopes to have removed this last vestige of degradation from the dominions and colonies directly under her control, and from those bordering it as well. It is said that the local potentates have agreed that a fixed price shall be set for each class of slave in the Huawing Valley, and once it is fixed the bondsmen in question shall immediately become free and enjoy all the rights and privileges of other free men. According to the proposed plan, the slave is then to work out the purchase of his freedom by paying easy annual installments. Bro. C. W.

In coming on his work, he lives his burdens and giving letters. However, he is resting under his curses. The death blow was given on the cross, and he will preface his death in the lake of fire. III. The Christian's Armor (1917) This means that his weapons of offence and defense will take out of many devices. Just as his bravery is from the inside, his bravery is from the outside. The believer does not merely rely on the defense. He must attack his spiritual enemies well in resist their spiritual attacks. 1. A thrill of faith (v. 14).

"M'CLURE" Oct. 23, 1925—Mrs. Christine Whiting Parmenter of Coloado Springs, has sent to the N. A. C. P., a story which she wrote condemning lynching, which is published in the October number of McClures' Magazine. The scene is laid in a Southern State and the action includes the lynching of an innocent colored man who risked and lost his life to protect a white woman from the insults of a mob. The story is entitled: "The Last Lynching." Mrs. Parmenter writes, "The plot for this story simmered in my mind for several years, but I was rather surprised to find an editor who dared print it." LOCALS Mrs M. D. Gorhom was a business callers today and enjoyed seeing the office force hard at work.

May the Lord bless The Star which shines each week in our homes, and bless its editor. Rev M. C. Lewis, Tastor, Bro. R. L. Hooks, Ch. Clerk. (Preston News Service) ASHEVILLE, N C. Oct. 22 Operations of a clever gypsy confidence worker in Asheville, Sunday netted her $01 in cash, according to the sheriff, to whom the case was reported. The gypsy went to the home of a woman named Massey, who was ill, and saving that her confidence must be obtained before the cure could be worked, asked to be allowed to hold some money. Accordingly the woman went to a local bank, drew $600 and placed it in the hands of the gypsy, who went through the traditional hocus-pocus finally pinning the cash to the woman's shoulder. She then told the patient to sit there without molesting the money for at least an hour, and then to remove it and she would be cured. After the time was up, the 'Doctor' having gone her way, the woman investigated and found a small roll of blank paper pinned near the back of her neck, the money having departed with the gypsy 30 minutes before. An investigation by deputies at a local gypsy camp revealed the fact that the woman believed to have been responsible for the trickery had taken the first tram out of the city, instead, it was said at the camp, for Augusta, Georgia. Junction City News. As we are nearing the close of the 1st quarter of the associational year, we at the 2nd Baptist Church are yet with heads up, striving, for the upbuild of the Master's Kingdom. Under the leadership of our noble pastor and Moderator, Rev. G. T. Raimey, and with the assistance of some very efficient workers, thanks to God, tho' we be small in number, we do not have to take back grounds, when it comes to worshipping God in an intelligent way. Our Sunday School and B. Y. P. U., are second to none and had splendid lesson Sunday Oct. 25th, and we were blessed with two wonderful sermons by our pastor. At 11 o'clock in the morning, Rev. Ralney took his text from Acts 3:3-6, subject: "The Church As The Panacea;" and brought out so many wonderful points, proving that the church has, is, and always will be, sufficient to care for the living, provide for the sick and bury the dead. Again at 8 o'clock in the evening, he delivered another powerful sermon from Matt. 21:10,11; subject: The Unstability In Expression. Rev. Ralmey brought out so vividly and so plain, how people will express themselves in such exact and such accurate words and then go just contrary or entirely against what they have expressed or said. The same multitude that had, at various times, made things convenient and pleasant for Jesus, proclaiming Him to be Jesus with undaunted expressions, as Hail, Hallelujah, etc; turned right around and helped to crucify Him. We wish that every Baptist in the State of Kansas, could have heard these two splendid sermons, and profited by them to that extent that we Baptists of Kansas might live up, and not be so unstable, that we might take the State of Kansas for Jesus.
