"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. They asked for fairplay from their govern- (Continued on page four) THANKSGIVING We will be at the period in the United States, where man can stop, count up the blessings the Master has bestowed upon him for the activities of mind and muscles in dollars and cents, in products or in spiritual advancements next Thursday. 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. OPIS. FIP LQ AMS PENI SOP.

The Pronts of Decency THE biggest discovery of the twen- tieth 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 prosper- ity 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 gener- al prosperity, The growth of this habit of mutual helpfulness during the last few years ia one of the re- markable developments of American hfe, It Is an outcome of another impor- tant 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 mn which the fortunate citizens were kept prosperous and free by the labor of | slaves. Ile could not Imagine a state | in which the men and women who per- ' formed the heavy labor of civilization alsu shared in its fruits, The discovery that there is voor, enough for all is one of the epochal: advances in human history, The United Statea has kkarned the Jesgon first, Our rich natural resoure ces developed by scientific industrial methods have provided wealth incon- cuvably abundant, = Hi, irs ago many business men wire possessed of thy idea that they could prosper only as they took business away from their competitor, The fact is that the capacity of the human race te consume and conses quently to produce has never been fathomed, Nobody can bound the possibilities of consumption, “The man who predicted that the money value of producta manufactur- ed in the Umted States would in- crease 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 secr the prisperity of one establishment open opportunities for others In the aame Industry, There is no room fo1 Jealousy or destructive competition.
