"MY LITTLE BROWN BOY" "MY LITTLE BROWN BOY" Ah, little brown boy, how I love you I hear the patter of little feet up and down the stair case; louder they come, softly they go—like the foot fall of elves, ascending after a mission to make glad the hearts of the children of men. Thru the open transom comes your gladsome laughter, reverberating thru the halls, breaking the thotful silence of God's great out of doors. I see you at the window, your russet cheeks pressed firmly against the pane your teeth brilliant like ocean pearls which gleam amid the waves. Little do you know, little brown boy, or peradventure care that your world of tomorrow is as cold and austere as the glass thru which you gaze. Again, I sleuth your every step over the green award and tru the dews of the infant morning—here you pause on the brink of a rill and listen to the strange but fascinating murmur of its liquid cadence. Gracefully the denizens of the air wheel and scream yefore you, and for the first time your heretofore unlanguished thots take form and like-wise, glide, feverishly away upon the wings of promise. Upward yon look into the path of the star things-over and above, you gaze, and still nothing but the tireless unbroken stretches of the immeasurable fields of blue. How like a lost forgotten atom amid the dust and decay of earth; struggling to divine the inscrutable wisdom of an All Wise Something, but in vain! Yesterday, I saw you standing with your tiny feet together on the brow of a hillock; your face radiant your arms extended wide, as if to embrace the all eternity with its burden of hoary years. My fingers slip from the youthful page in the book of life and there upon on the Golgotha of a race hope, hangs my little brown boy of the yeater years—with the scowl of agony chiselled upon his manly brow! How like a crucifix suspended above the rabble ASSOCIATION Man is purely a social being, and loves to be in a social atmosphere. No better example can be offered than that of Jesus, who came from heaven to earth to redeem man. As Jesus went about from village to village teaching the people about God, he began to choose with care some, a his friends and companions. He did not choose the great and learned, he did not mind if they were simple and poor; but He sought those who were loving and kind, true and faithful and who were able to help Him. Atta careful choosing, one of these failed Him. Your associates picture your future Since we are purely social beings, we are always found seeking some kind of association. If the right fans to appear, we are apt to accept the wrong rather than face desolation. And the more we associate, the more we like the association and in time, become alike; for just as your associates, so you become. Husbands and wives grow to think alike; friends influence friends; homer influence homes; community and church into grow nearer, and in the end all are voicing the same opinions to a certain degree. The choice of friends should not be regarded carelessly. Therefore, it is up to the Christian individuals to build up such barriers of right that wrong cannot break them down, because of desolation. It is up to the Christian parents to mold a pure social ideal in the homes; for there are the children who are the adults of tomorrow. There are the children who are imitators, whose little minds are plastic, and a wrong ideal planted there will remain throout. From home life, the child enters school life where he meets children from different homes and different homes, different environments. Here he begins to choose his associates, and here is the beginning test of home training. If pure, he will as a usual thing seek the pure; if impure, he will seek the impure. Then it is up to the teacher to discourage wrong ideals, and establish thoughts and actions that trend upward. After leaving school life, he enters community life, where he meets those who labor by his side, earning a livelihood. If he has not yet learned to choose the right associates, he is then apt to go downward to sin and degradation. Community life teaches boedience of laws and rights of others, but where parents, schools and communities, fail, over all is the church, which teaches the love of God and mankind, which in itself is the purest association of all—An association intermingled with the love of God and mankind. hoards, often times murdered upon a cross of gold; but truth, like an aparition rises from the debris of legal containtions and broken promises, only to herall the rising star of a grinder day. Little brown boy, I want to tell you of my dream picture—a picture of fancy, of hope and of my younger years—a picture painted with the delicate pigments of blood and gold—again of the dream of stern reality that broke my heart; but in the breaking let me not forget to tell you of the hand of confidence that quickened my drooping spirit and bade me play the man in the heroic drama of life! I pause here, little friend, reluctant to tell you all. The Nectar which you slip from the goblet of eternal youth is too sweet to be embittered by the cup of experience, the worm wood of tomorrow. Goodbye little friend. When the big tender tears of childish fancy and imagined wrongs are wiped away by the Magic Touch of Wisdom—when your little toy dog and spooky dreams haunt your mind no more, but linger only as tender memories down the long, long vista of the half forgotten past, I shall come to you again little boy, Good Byel WILLIAM EDGAR BAILEY, 612, Parallel, Kansas City, Kans. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Nov. 20, 1925. A Executive Secretary for the State trict Board Meeting at Calvary. He morning and will preach tonight. He vices. J. H. KELLEY DECEASED J. H. KELLEY DECEASED ATCHISON, KANSAS,—Captain Haney Kelley, was born in Bowling Green, Ky., in 1863. Departed this late November 12th at 9:35 a.m., at his residence on the farm South of town. Age 57 years. He was better known as J. H. Kelley, the barber. Mr Kelley had been in failing health the past year. He, wife and sister, Mrs. H. M. Underwood of Wichita, motored to Salina, Kansas the first week in October for the purpose of attending the Baptist State Convention which convened in that city, Oct. 6-11, 1925. During their stay in the city they stopped at the residence of Mr. Elias Hunter, a relative, and while there, he was strucken with the fatal illness from which he never recovered, and as soon as he was physically able to travel he and family returned to his farm in Atchison County, Kansas where he crossed the Great Divide on the above date. In the passing of Mr. J. H. Kelley, the city of Atchison, looses a good citizen, a man of wide influence, strictly business, and honest in all his dealings; a man of few words, frank in expression and the possessor of a kind heart. The school of experience had taught him how to save and invest his earnings in a manner that brought him great profit. He was Deputy District Manager of the Security Insurance Company, and was one of the prime factors in helping to place said company on a paying basis in Atchison, Topeka, Kansas City, and Wichita. He was also interested in the political and civic affairs of Atchison. Thirteen years ago, he attended an Eyangeistic meeting conducted by Rev. Bob Jones (white) at this meeting he was convicted of sin, and later confessed Christ and joined the Ebenezer Baptist Church, and was baptized by the pastor, Rev H. W. White. Shortly after he united with the Ch, he was elected to the Deacon Board in which capacity he served faithfully until the end; he was also Treasurer of the church for 7 years up to the time of his death. As a churchman he was true to his trust. Pastors and Layman alike could rely upon him when he had once pledged his support. It can be truthfully said of Mr. Kelley that he did not practice deception with friend, or foe, but would clearly state his position on any subject that claimed his attention. He was a regular tither, and when out of the city, upon his return, he would bring or send his money to the church. He gave as a reason for not uniting Convention, now attending the Diswonderfully addressed the S. S. this will also stay over for Sunday ser- with other churches while out of the city (only by association) was that Ebenezer needed his financial support. As a solicitor for the church, Deacon Kelley could not be excelled. He stood well with the white race, and he has been largely responsible in helping to place thousands of dollars to the credit of the Ebenezer Baptist Church. His last official act for the church was to meet the City Commissioners and have a $400.00 debt on back taxes, remitted. The church has lost a great character, and a friend in her struggles. Funeral services were conducted at the church, Friday afternoon at 2:30 p. m. November, 13. Sermon by the pastor, Rev. C. P. Morrow; text, 2nd Tim. 4:7; "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." Solo, Mrs. E. R. Harper, "He's The One." Obituary, Mrs. Edith Barnes. Resolutions very appropriate. Eulogy, Rev. W. C. Cartwright, ex-pastor, now of St. Louis, Mo. The church was well filled by members, friends and visitors, thus paying their last tribute of respect to the deceased. Floral designs were beautiful. Dr. W. W. Caldwell of Kansas City, Mo., formerly of Atchison, and who served on the Deacon Board with Deacon Kelley in 1913, was also present. The body was in charge of the A. F. & A. M. Masons. He leaves to mourn his demise a devoted, faithful widow and one sister, Mrs. H. M. Underwood of Wichita, who was constant and dutiful to her brother; other relatives and friends. Interment at Mt. Vernon Cemetery, by Sawin & Douglass Undertakers, in a handsome Mahogany casket. All of his earthly possessions were left to his widow which consisted in an estate worth while. In the language of John, The Revelator, "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, henceforth: Yea, sald the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them." The members of the club met on Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. S. W. Flemings at her home 411 N. Water, Current events and quotations were given, with the transaction of business and the time engaged in needlework. A very pleasant and profitable afternoon was spent. They enjoyed also an elegant luncheon served by the hostess. Next week they will meet with Mrs. C. Tillman at 911 Indiana Avenue. BUILDS NEW BUSINESS HOME Newton, Kansas, should be proud of Mr. D. D. Skelton, who is now building a new two-story building with 5 rooms upstairs, well suited for offices. This building is 20x50 and is now occupied by him with an up-to-date barber shop, cafe, and service car station. This advance stop should inspire the business men of Newton, and in short all of West Fourth will be a business cented. Mr. Skelton is a man with a vision — kicks go forward from thoughts and activities of such men. TELL US ABOUT IT TELL US ABOUT IT WICHITA, Nov. 17, 1925—Gentlemen—For some time, I have been lamenting the fact that no effort was being made in Wichita, by anyone, to release in the Community, any of the very valuable books that have been published within the past two years, touching upon the varied phases of the race, its history, progress, and achievement as well as many of the present besetments. Since moving into our new location and having someone in the office, we have been able to secure a half dozen copies each, of some fifteen of the most recent and high powered books both by authors of other races and even of other nations, about the present race situation in America and the world. We have such books as:—The Clash of Color; Of One Blood; Christianity and The Race Problem; The Trend of the Raccs; In The Vanguard of a Race; And Who Is My Neighbor? Fire In The Flint; There Is Confusion; Finding a Way Out, which is the autobiography of Dr. R. R. Moton; Up From Slavery; and The Story of My Life, by Booker T. Washington; Dr. Dubois' two latest books: Darkwater; and The Gift of Black Folks. Now I am sure you fully appreciate just what it will mean to have these books available to the citizenry of our community. And this, the Association is trying to do. If you feel that this is a worthy service to the Community, and will serve in enlightening our citizenry, any assistance that you may lend in this connection will be very greatly appreciated. E. B.

At the 11 a. m. services, Rev. C. E. Brooks preached a great sermon and the presence of the Holy Spirit was manifest, "One With Jesus;" was the subject of his discourse. The Doctrine of atonement, essential to every Christian. That we must keep in touch with His presence day by day to have power. Jesus was glorified in the Father, He wants to be glorified in mankind. At the evening services, a splendid sermon was delivered by Rev. J. H. Credic. The Bible School held their session Five Cents Per Copy COLORFUL NEWS 'MOVIES' By: The Cameraman THEY CAME, THEY SAW THEY CONSUERED POOR FELLOW! HES CRAZY. (Creation News Service) They Came—These fifty Negro gladiators from the highest walks of American life, to counsel together upon the problems that beset their life. They came patriotically, loyal to their country, their Government, and themselves, to take an inventory of America's blessings, and to viti dispassionately what bulwarks independence, through neglect and waste, have been permitted to crumble to dust. They came in peace, from far and near, in a wealth of integrity, intelligence, and intention to offer solvents to heal the breaches in Democracy, as praeced and practiced in America; and as they came, they pledged themselves to a new day when their people might be freed from the racial despotisms which have so intolerantly bloomed during the last half century. They Saw—These honorable statesmen—that civic, economic, social, and political diseases have here and there unclinched the independent form of America, that proscriptions still ensue from the bitterness of racial hatred and scorn. They saw some of the mockeries of Justice, the deceptions of American men with each other, and the sentiment which has grown strong in the belief that one race is superior to another. They saw the unenforcement of the sacred constitutional precepts, the break-down of Christian religion, the oppression that exists, notwithstanding the pledges of Government and of men that all Americans shall indeed be free. They remembered that their ancestors had been brought to America in bondage to be the servants of servants, and that upon their labor a large portion of the country had built up an enormous wealth; and they know that the same territory is now foremost in denying Liberty, Justice, and Equality. They Conquored—These exemplary citizens of America's finest products whatever timidity and lack of organization their groupal predecessors had permitted to prevail, and stated the case of their people.

Those who have done less, think it is time to fill their stomach and spend money foolishly, that they may have chance to possess. Those who have used their minds think it is time to express in words, arranged in lovely phrases of the blessings now in their possession for the year's work. Those who have developed fat souls feel like it is time to express to the Holy Spirit the gratitude for the wholesome food on which their souls have fed. Now, since life does not end here, suppose that the less fortunate, the thinkers and the fat souls meet next Thursday and unite on the plans of Jesus for greater blessings for the year. Come to St. Paul A. M. E. Ch. at 11 a. m., for the Thanksgiving Services. at 9:45 a.m. An interesting review of the lesson study by Rev. Brooks. The A. C. E. League meeting was held at 7 p.m. A meeting of the Stewardess Board was held on Monday afternoon. The Boosters' Club called a meeting on Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Nannie Brown. Next Sunday Nov. 22, will be Harvest Home Day. Dinner will be served on Thanksgiving Day. The Ladies Ald Society held their weekly meeting on Wednesday afternoon. Sunday School Lesson UBY REV P R FITZWATER D.P., Dean of the Evening School, Bloody Bible Institute of Chicago ( @ 1925, Western Newspaper Union ) Lesson for November 22 LESSON TEXT—Acta 24 1-27 GOLDEN TEXT—"Herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offense toward God, and toward men"—Acta 24 16 PRIMARY TOPIC—Why Paul Was Not Afraid JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul Before Felix INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Paul Before Felix A Contrast YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—How to Have a Good Concierge I. Paul Accused (ty. 12). Paul was now in the hands of Polly who determined to hear his case after his accusers had come from Jerusalem Anonias, the high priest, and elders came with Tartulus, perhaps a Roman barrister, who formally made the accusation according to Roman law He began with flattery. He gave Polly the fullest praise when he and all the people knew that he had, for Paul was one of the worst governors of statute of morals and justice. He brought a fourfold charge against Paul 1. "A Resilient Yellow" (v. 5) This would indicate a fellow utterly base and corrupt—a plague 2 An Incliner of Rebellion, a Mover of Sedition (v. 5) This they hoped would bring him in to conflict with the Human power 3. That He Was the Kingland r of a Sect—n Schismatical Party—a Heretic (v. 5). This was designed to throw contempt and suspicion upon the Chantions, by this means to bring Paul into deeper trouble 4. That He Hof Profaned the Temple (v. 6) In this charge we see the wildness again, they willfully suppressed facts 11. Paul's Defence (v. 10.21) This is a spindish example of the strength and dignity of a man whose life is controlled by a noble purpose and who has nothing to conceal and will not distort or suppress Cuts. 1. Paul's Frankness and Courtesy (v. 10). I lattery is entirely wanting. The gave recognition of the fact that Felix had been ruler of this people long enough to be able to judge justice, as the habits and ways of the Jews were familiar to him he then in a dignified manner assumes that Felix will tender a just decision based on the facts of the case. 2. The Clarge of Sedition Denied (v. 11 12). He flatly and scornfully denied this charge, showing its utter falsity since the time was too short. It being but twelve days since he went to bury them and half of that time had been spent as a prisoner of the Romans 3. The Charge of Heresy (v. 11 16). This he not by a concession and a denial. He admitted that he was of this "way" which they called heresy, but denied that Christians were still masters. He showed clearly that his actions were in keeping with the Hebrew religion (1) He worshiped the same God (v. 11) (2) He fully believed in the same Scriptures (v. 11) (3) He had the same house of a coming resurrection of the dead (v 15). He declared that he had as the principal of life a conscience sold of of fees before God and man (4) The Charge of Sacrifice or Profanation of the Temple (v 17 21) This charge he related by showing: (1) That he had come all the way from Greece (v 17), to worship at the forest (2) That he did not come my compass handed but had brought alms for his nation (v 17) (3) That there were not competent witnesses present to testify of his beacon in the temple (v 19) (4) By challenging his enemies to testify as to his conduct in the court of 111. F. I. Trembles Defore Paul (sv. 2227). This is a sort of a sequel to the trial. Wicked as Felix was, Paul manner somehow won his favor though he did not release him. In the sentence was indulgent number one which kept him free from his enemies while under Roman protection. He sent for Paul that he might have Christ from him. Paul believed him self right before those slaves in his life. He transmuted of right or self control and of judgment to know before Felix and his faithful wife with such power that Felix was terrified and declared that he would hear for further at a convenient time. This was a most illusory excuse for not changing his life and granting justice to Paul.

Promptly at 8 o'clock, the pastor came before us with another burning message from the subject: "The Church's Constitution." Matt 18:20. After a great message, the leaders of the church arose and expressed themselves as to how much they appreciated the splendid service of this very excellent pastor, whom they say has done more in one year and a few months than all preceding him. A large collection was given from the members of the church. The public is invited to come to our church and listen to our minister, who is prepared to give many Gospel truths; he is a profound Bible scholar. SERMGNETTE PREACHED BY REV JAS. MOORE Pastor, 1st Baptist, Nicodemus, Ians. I wish to call your attention to the 23rd Psalm, which I believe to be the most beautiful of all the Psalms; old as well as young, enjoy reading this beautiful passage, whose writer is David, the son of Jesse, who was anointed king from his youth. David's Experience—I hia Psalm was written out of ages of experience of God and man and for this reason, he chose God rather than man. (B) David's Experience of Man—No doubt, David thought after he had taken his life in hard and won a great battle for his people, Israel, that men would crown him with glory and honor. But not so. After the slaying of Gollath, David's best friend became his enemy. He says in the 41st Psalm the 9th verse that his closest friends which had eaten of his bread, had lifted up his heels against him. (C) David's Experience of God—In the midst of all of David's trials and conflicts the Lord had been with him and brought him out more than conqueror. Even when he was in battle with the bear and with lions and with the great giant Goliath, who was a warrior from his youth; and God rought him out safely. He is now able to give to us the faithful Psalm which reaches the carts of those who know God. He begins by saying: "The Lord is my The Negro Star-for the good of the people WICHITA'S BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL INDEX A. P.

Not man, because he has failed me; not King Saul, because of his jealousy; but the Lord, the Creator, the Maker of man and the Ruler of Heaven and Earth—He is my Shepherd; because of His Divine Protection, because He loves me, He feed my soul with Heavenly Manna; and all that I need, I find in Him. "I shall not want;" for food, for protection, for a place to lie down, when I'm weary, for some one to restore my soul, for a rod and staff to comfort me, for a table of blessings, for goodness and mercy and His house in which to dwell. (V.2) He Expresses God's Goodness "He maketh me to he down in green pastures;" not pastures that have been burnt by the scorching wind of temptation, not pastures whose grass has been trodden beneath the feet of the wicked, not pastures which is bitten by frost of selfishness, malice, haired and strife, but pastures of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. (B) "He leadeth me besides the still waters." Waters of life, clear as a crystal that is proceeding from the Throne of God and the Lamb: Rev. 22:1: Waters whose roaring is calmed by the Voice of God 'And my peace shall abound forever.' Verse 3, he continues to speak of God's goodness: I feel today that God's purpose for leaving His children in this sinful world is to tell others of His goodness. Tell men that it was God Who created heavens and earth and all things therein and tell them that it was God who formed man out of the dust of the earth and that it was God Who breathed into man's nostrils, (not evolution) the breath of life and man became a living soul. Gen. 2:7. "He restoreth my soul;" from seen and unseen dangers from the pitfalls of Satan, from the snares of the wicked, from worldly temptation, to joy and gladness and to the joy of salvation. Psalm 51.8-12. "He kaileth me in the path of righteousness for His Namesake; not the path that leads to death, not the broad way which is crowded with lions, drunkards, murderers and all people of low degraded and those who have forgotten God; but the path of righteousness, the straight and narrow path which leads into the city of God. (V.4) He Expresses Willingness and Holdness—"Yea though I walk thro' the Valley of the shadow of death;" I walk, not dragged through or phillet through, but I walk through; I walk willingly, I walk daily, I walk boldly, I walk because I am His, I walk because He leads me and guides me and He comforts me because I am the light of the world because my feet is shot with the preparation of the Divine Gospel.

Thomas acting teacher of Bible Class; review by pastor. Services at 11 o'clock; after a short devotion, Pastor Thomas read for an opening 6th chapter of St. John; afterwhich, Rev. J. H. Daniels brought us a burning message found in 6th chapter of St. John: "Ilim that comes to me I will in no wise cast out." Subject: "True Religion." Rev. Daniels certainly put pcp into his discourse in discussing True Religion. B. Y. P. U. 5:55; Study Course conductor and Secretary in chairs. After the lesson, the meeting was turned to President and Secretary Proper. This being the 3rd Sunday Group No. 3, rendered an excellent program, very much enjoyed by all present. One of the main features of the program was a solo by liev. J. H. Daniels; subject: "I Shall Get Home Some Day." Group No. 3 received 100% in all respects: color, manner, time and finance. At 7:40 short devotional, was led by Rev. C. W.

This was expressive and well explained; subject: "Just take a Drink to the Fullest Extent." The meeting which is now going on at the Bethlehem Baptist Church is now under full blast under Pastor Thomas; we are having a wonderful time; some converts and some turnbacks. The meeting has been going on the last two weeks and will cross Sunday night. We are certainly glad to have Rev. J. II. Daniels in our midst, during the meeting. We always like to have big hearted, strong men like Rev. Daniels who can sing pray and preach.

Edwina Pierce and Hettie Harris, Reporters. Sunday was a glorious day at Calvary, 1925 Sunday School opened with song services; very good lesson. 11.a.m. Pastor Williams delivered an eloquent sermon. "It Lays To Be A Christian." in his discourse, no pictured very vividly why it paid to be a Christian. At the close of the sermon, Mrs. Corine B. Shepherd sang, "It Lays To Serve Jesus." Church was packed to its capacity and the meeting was enjoyed by all. Immediately after the morning services, baptizing was conducted at Sardis Church. Eight were baptized. A glorious meeting was held and all went away with their souls blessed. At 8:00 p. m. the B. Y. P. U., opened; song service 15 minutes conducted by Mrs. E. A. Ross of Topeka. This service consisted largely of "Pep" songs which put plenty of life and enthusiasm into the meeting. B. Y. P. U., was well attenued and is on its way to success. 8 p. m., evening services were opened on time. Pastor Williams read for Scripture lesson 12 verses of the 54th chapter of Isaiah. Afterwhich, a testimonial meeting was held which was very spiritual; at the close of this service the right hand of fellowship was extended to the converts. Monday evening, the young people of Calvary Baptist Church met with Mrs. E. A. Ross, who has been rendering great services during the revival organized a club which is called the "Eureka," in honor of Mrs. Ross. After a short business session, a short program was rendered.

J., Nov 13.—It is said that despite the protests of her parents, Miss Helen Burns, of 16 Walnut Terrace, this city, says she will marry William E. Jackson, of Montclair, who, when he obtained a marriage license in New York, Wednesday, admitted he was of Negro blood. It is claimed that he told the clerks in the marriage license office, that his mother was part Negro, her father being white and her mother colored. He added, it is said, that he had always passed as white. Ruling that Jackson was a Negro, Assistant Corporation Counsel Tarbox consented to the license grant. When thty learned Thursday that Jackson was a Negro, Miss Burns' parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Burns, vigorously protested against the marriage, but their daughter was firm in her determination to marry Jackson. The girl's grandmother who lives at the Walnut Terrace address, is said to have sided with her granddaughter and spoke of Jackson as a man of high character and declared that she was emphatically in favor of the marriage. Nothing could be learned of the date of the proposed wedding. Miss Burns is reported to have declared that she was sick and tired of going around with cake eaters and shells. "They are a silly bunch of fools. Mr. Jackson is a fine man, gentlemanly and courteous; he thinks and talks of worthwhile things." She is quoted as saying, "I didn't want my mother to know that Mr. Jackson was a Negro, but now the fact that she does know, won't stop me from marrying him." --- 1241 Wabash Avenue TELEPHONE MARKET 3136 ISSUED EVERY FRIDAY AT WICHITA, KANSAS, H.

Water St. Phone M. 1665 Local Editor Entered as second-class matter June 12th 1019, at the Post Office at Wichita, Kansas, under the Act of March 3, 1879. THE Capper Farmer edited by Mr. A. H. Capper, Topeka, Kansas, comes to us this week, a valuable journal one that should be read extensively, especially by the farmers as it carries much useful information for farming necessities. No one can come to the Southwest Board Meeting now without feeling that the Baptist workers have the yoke of Christ upon them and are now learning of Him. Every auxiliary, Thursday and Friday proved that it had a vision of the future and was moving forward. We shall give story of the work next issue. IN our possession is a beautiful float decorated by the Second Baptist Church, Eldorado. It shows church pride to take part in these public demonstrations and when they do, they should o their best. This is a post card scene and they were in the caffer-corn carnival parade. WE want men to grow and go into larger fields, but we can't conceive the idea that Rev. G. T. Raimey of Junction City, has given up his splendid field and gone to Dallas, Texas, for good. The Holy Spirit will do the leading and we know He will do right, so we are praying that the Holy Spirit will have His way in the matter. The Pronts of Decency THE biggest discovery of the twentieth century is the soundness of the principle of live and let live. Other generations were convinced that "dog eat dog" was the hard rule of business. A man sought prosperity by outwitting or destroying his rivals. That spirit lingers in places but it is dominant no longer. Instead of fighting to undermine competitors, men co-operate to promote the general prosperity. The growth of this habit of mutual helpfulness during the last few years is one of the remarkable developments of American life. It is an outcome of another important discovery, the profit to be made out of multiplying and satisfying the wants of the average man. Plato, the great dreamer of ancient Greece, described his ideal republic in which the fortunate citizens were kept prosperous and free by the labor of slaves. He could not imagine a state in which the men and women who performed the heavy labor of civilization also shared in its fruits. The discovery that there is room enough for all is one of the epochal advances in human history. The United States has learned the lesson first. Our rich natural resources developed by scientific industrial methods have provided wealth inconceivably abundant. Iirs ago many business men were possessed of the idea that they could prosper only as they took business away from their competitor. The fact is that the capacity of the human race to consume and consequently to produce has never been fathomed. Nobody can bound the possibilities of consumption. The man who predicted that the money value of products manufactured in the United States would increase six times in twenty years would have been considered a lunatic. Yet that happened between 1899 and 1919 and the present rate of growth is even faster. America has expanded miraculously because we are at last recognizing the fact that there is room for all. We have proved that high wages pay handsome dividends. We have seen the prosperity of one establishment open opportunities for others in the same industry. There is no room for jealousy or destructive competition. A great thing has happened. The material advantages of decency have been demonstrated and a wide and promising vista has opened. This, too. The friends of Mr. T. E. Work will be glad to know that he is improving in the Missouri Pacific Hospital in St. Louis. This information comes from Mr. McDaniel who had just had a letter from him. Rev. C. B. Burton left Friday for home Minneapolis, Minn. Ilia wife (formerly Miss Nettle Fay Oliver) did not accompany him on account of the continued illness of her sister Mrs. Ada Neely; but was later called by telegram and left to join her husband. Mr. R. H. Taylor accompanied by Messrs Owens and Walker were in the office yesterday. Rev. J. W. Johnson of Manhattan, was in the office Tuesday. Rev. Johnson has recently been called to the pastorate at Abilene. Mr. Greer is the new insurance man on the staff with Mr. Walker. They were in the office this morning. Mrs. Jno. Chandler of Caldwell, was a visitor in the city during the week. Mr. Wm. Mitchell left Tuesday on a trip to Detroit, and Flint, Michigan. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Letcher and Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Thompson were visitors in the city Sunday from Wellington. Mr. and Mrs. Matthews are the proud parents of a baby girl who entered the family circle last Thursday. Mother and daughter are in high spirit. The friends of Mrs. Mary Carr are sorry of her accident and hope her a speedy convalescence. We were very glad to have Mrs. Jarrette stop in the office for a nice chat one afternoon of last week. Quite a few out of town guests are here attending the Southwest District Board Meeting at Calvary Baptist Church. Mr. Maurice Jones and family are gladly welcomed back home to reside among relatives and friends. Mrs. J. T. Chinneth accompanied by Mrs. Smith of Kansas City, were callers at the office, Monday. Madam Odelle Stone-Gray and Miss Dorothy Sims tried engagements to appreciative audiences this week at Mrs. Davidson's and at Friends University. COLORFUL NEWS 'MOVIES' (Continued from first page) real Democracy. They conquered only its constituents. Like the Pilgrim athers, they sought peace—the peace that comes from a full and absolute freedom, the kind that guaranteed by real Democracy. They conquered any disbelief that colored Americans are worthy of America's best customs; they conquered, if America will but admit it, any semblance of racial inferiority, based upon color. They conquered the fallacy that colored people cannot reason together, and they refreshed America's recollection that in Unity there is strength. For this unity, they pleaded, not cringly but manfully. And then, these determined Americans returned to their tasks and their people, pleaded to a new day, a new Democracy, a new Christianity, a new citizen—a fuller life of greater reward as well as greater service. The pledge is made, from Bishop A, J. Carey, Dr. John R. Hawkins, and Melvin J. Chisum, to the humbleest delegate present; from Kansas City, to Boston; from Buffalo to Atlanta. And it is for us to preserve and keep it for the sake of our children and children's children. The Insanity Bug is running wild among the white folks. I'oor young Rhinelander, (white) who after entering an unholy state of quasi-matrimony with a winsome colored lassie, made it holy and legal, only to be now pictured by his counsel in the annulment suit as being weak-mind- The Negro Star—for the good of the people RING MKT. 3130 AND SAMPLES OF THE LATEST XMAS CARDS ed, the victim of a pitiable mentality and felictious highbindery. Unlike Leopold and Loeb, the poor rich fellow did not commit the enime of murder, only in a financial way; but now that his lust has had its "cooling time" why, of course, poor fellow, He's crazy, was crazy, and always will be crazy. He's not even as brave as the mulatto vendors of the South who, rather than plead insanity, pass miscegenation laws making it a high crime to marry a colored woman. Just to show that this Insanity Bug is no respector of territory or sex, a young white woman of New Jersey was about to marry a colored man—a most foolish plan for both—when her parents discovered that the Insanity Bug had bitten her, and forth with tried to have her cease and desist from a crazy venture. Dr. Blazer (white) destroyer of his daughter, is another white man who is now noe compos mentis. A North Carolina jury is now trying 38 members of a crazy mob, which recently stormed the Buncombe county jail in search of a sane Negro youth, who had been harried 32 miles away to safety, and who was thereafter found to be innocent of the crime with which he has been charged. Last week, in Washington, a white man killed his fellow worker at the latter's request. At the inkhest, he testified that he would do anyone the favor of slaying them if they sincerely asked him so to do. Now we don't believe particularly in interracial marriages; neither do we believe in the exploitation of the virtue of our women, especially at the price of racial purity and in the face of the barriers of miscegenation laws, all of which should be repealed. There is somt solace, though, in the fact that though we have very humble homes, a high death rate, an appalling rise in tubercular victims, and the mantle of the accusation that we are more given to crime than the whites, INSANITY hasn't made any heavy inroad upon us, and colored persons before the bars of Justice seldom, if ever, plead insanity. If Negroes charged with high crimes were given to the employment of million-dollar lawyers who could show by scientists and experts that their clients were plumb locoed, and that they were, in fact, the same kind of cowards as the proponents of weakmindedness who seek dispensation upon that ground alone, the propulsion incarceration of Negro felons in state penitentiaries would be reduced nearly 75 per cent, just as it is among the whites. "No Vacancies" says Mr. Firestone. "No Vacancies" says Mr. Firestone. Harvey Firestone, of Akron, Ohio, the American rubber King-to-be, of Liberia, who is said to contemplate manning his Liberian rubber plantation, which is to be the largest in the world, with a working personnel of more than 300,000, has evidently broken all speed records in the mobilization of his forces. Although it is evident that architects, engineers, draughtmen, chemists, foresters, etc, as well as a great army of highly-skilled laborers will be employed in this great project, Negro applicants for technical and scientific places with the Firestone organization are daily receiving courteous letters to the effect that there are "no vacancies."
