Vol.18,No.36, FISK ALUMNI SEEKS FUNDS FOR SCHOOL FISK ALUMNI SEEKS FUNDS FOR SCHOOL CAMPAIGN HERE RESULTS IN HEARTY SUPPORT, SECRETARY REPORTS. With the alumni of Disk University responding nobly to the call, and $22,628 of the $25,000 allotted to the alumni already raised, it is hoped that the quota will be over-substi- led and paid by December 31st according to Miss Sophla Boaz, financial secretary of the Greater Alumni Committee. In order to assure a gift of a million dollars offered by large educational Boards, a campaign $100,000 is being put on by the University. The alumni pledged themselves to raise $25,00 while Paul D. Chavath, Chairman of the board of trustees, offered another $25,00 and W. II. Baldwin, also a trustee of the University, is handling the campaign to raise the balance of $50,000 from the general public. The financial secretary, Mitsu Bong, is in Nashville and reports that her travels throughout the country have been encouraging and that the alumni and friends of the University are showing a great interest in the school by their generous subscriptions. The campaign was begun Friday on the Fisk campus. After an appeal by Dr. F. A. Stewart of Nashville, who is a member of the Greater Fisk Alumni Committee and Chairman of the zone which includes Tennessee and Kentucky, and Miss Bonz, the students thereupon pledged $500. It is felt by many that this was rather generous, in view of the poor circumstances of the majority of the students. The pledges ranged from $1.00 to $5.00. There were some who went as high as $25.00. In commenting upon this school officials declared that this is another indication of the fine spirit of the student body and the splendid co-operation which the Administration is receiving on every hand. It is understood that Fisk has a larger student body than she has had in many years. On Friday afternoon the Nashville Fisk Club pledged $2,000, The Campaign manager felt that especial mention should be made of the gift of Dr. F. A. Stewart, which amount to $0. This donation on Friday brings the total of Dr. Stewart's contribution to Fisk during the past two years up to $2,500, this being the single donation thus far from the alumnus.asz will be in the city for a two longer with the fiew of actively organizing the campaign among the friends of the school. NOTICE TOPASTORS and CHOIR LEADERS FROM E. M. BARNES Distributing Agent for Gospel Pearls and Baptist Standard Hymnal. Are you willing to do something real simple and sensible, to make your church work easier and more effective? If you want your congregation to be interested in the services and take part in the worship, you must get the kind of songs that appeal to them. I actually don't believe that there's a better song book published than the Gospel Pearl for the church generally, and for a hymnal, the Baptist Standard Hymnal is in a class by itself. I am specializing in church development thru music and of all the song books I have ever used or seen, I am more impressed with these two books published by the S. S. Pub. Bd. I am making a special effort to help the Board put these books into all the churches in the country. If you are interested in your church and want some of the greatest books on the market, let me hear from you, I am making a special offer on 100 lots. LOCAL LEADER HONORED BY H-Y CONFERENCE The first of the series of three State Older Boys' Conference was hall at Indianapolis, November 27, 28,20. W. J. Hutcherson, Secretary, Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A., of Wichita was one of the leaders and covered the Conference on "Race Relations and the Christian Ideal." For four years, Secretary Hutcherson has been serving as a leader at the State Camp, (Camp Wood) and at the Clerk Boys Conference. His leadership and talks have been enthusiastically accepted by the boys over the State. And as a result, he has a great host of friends among the Kansas High School fellows. One year at Camp Wood, he had charge of the Rife Range, and through this medium, he touched a great host of fellows in a personal way. At the Independence Conference, Mr. Hutcherson was presented with a jeweled M-IY Pin, set with twelve pearls. The speaker, in making the presentation stated that this was a small material expression of appreciation of the boys of Kansas for the heightened appreciation they have of the men and boys of the other races because of their contact and association with Secretary Hutcherson. The other Conferences will be held at Eldorado, Dec. 4, 5, 6, and Ottawa December 11, 12, and 13. Mr. Hutcherson has been asked to serve as a leader and address both of these Conferences. Mr. E. M. Barnes and several Wichita Boys will also attend the Eldorado Conference. Card of Thanks.

It follows:— "William Cunningham, of Watonga, graduate of the University of Oklahoma, has been awarded seventh place in the poetri contest of the Poetry Society of America for 1925, it was announced here. There were more than 600 entries. Countee Cullen of New York University, was first. "Cunningham's poem was "The Old Time Fiddler," which appeared in the Oklahoma magazine last year." Countee Cullen is a Negro, he graduated from New York University last June, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Arts, he is now at Harvard working for a Master's degree. Young Cullen is in his early twenties. Harper and Sons, New York, have just released from their press a delightful book of poems by Cullen, entitled "Color." VOICE AT WHITE HOUSE. A. C.

Declaring that this was to be a meeting of accomplishment and not talk, he promptly divided the membership into committees, read the program and the body proceeded to work after the fashion of a legislative assembly.

Here are a few lines from one of Cullen's poems, it refers to a former teacher in his "For A Lady I Know:" "She even thinks that up in heaven. Her class lays late and snores While poor black cherubs rise at seven To do celestial chorea." If Countee Cullen had been guilty of any crime the information would never have been served to the readers of white papers without headlining the fact he was black. On the other hand it would never do to say that a white student from the University at Norman ran seventh in a race with a Negro, or to save that this lone Negro wrote superior poetry to that offered by 599 other contestants, practically all of whom were white.

It is I; be not afraid—Matt. 14:27. PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul in a storm 44-700 JUNIOR TOPIC-The Story of a Shipwreck INTERNEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP PRACTICE LEADERSHIP IC—Paula Leadership YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—The Christian Overcoming Adverse Circumstances 1. The Voyage (vv. 1-20). 1. The Ship (vv. 16). It was a vessel of Alexandria sailing from Mira to Italy. 2. The Company (rx. 12). 2. The Companion (v. 15). Two of Paul's friends, Aristarchus and Luke were permitted to go with him. Besides these three there were two hundred and seventy three in the ship (v. 37). 3. The Storm (yy. 7.20) The ship made little headway on account of unfavorable winds. Paul advised that they winter in Fair Havens (vv. 0-12), but his advice was unheeded. The gentle south wind deceived them so they housed from Crete only to be overtaken by the ten pestious wind called Eurodylon. They did everything possible to save the ship; they took up the boat which was towed behind; they bound great cables around the ship to strengthen it for the storm; they lightened the ship by bringing down from the masts and rigging everything that was superfluous, and finally the cargo and tackling were thrown overboard. All this seemed to be of no avail and all hope of being saved was removed. It seemed that wicked men and material forces were combined to prevent the great apostle from reaching Rome. However, these very experiences were overruled by God to bring good cheer and salvation to many on the way. We should remember that tempestuous winds as well as soft breezes await God's faithful ones. The presence of storm does not prove that we are going the wrong way. 11. Paul's Serene Faith (vv. 21-20) To a man who does not know God upon the failure of the sun and stars to shine for many days, the fading of all hope is natural; but to the man of faith, hope still burns brightly. God is just as near to His own in the midst of a stormy sea as in their quiet homes. Observe Paul's behavior: 1. His Rebuke for Their Failure to Heed His Advice at Pair Havens (v. 21). This was not a mere taunt, but a reference to the wisdom of his former advice, urging them to give him a more respectful hearing. 2. Bids Them He of Good Cheer (v. 22) He inspired them with hope. 3. He Promises Them Safety (v. 22). Though the ship go to pieces, every man's life should be saved 4. The Source of 111g Information (vy, 2324). The angel of God had revealed it unto him. 5. The Reason of Paul's Calm Faith (v. 23). "Whose I am, and whom I serve" God can and will take care of Ils property (John 10 28 29). Those who have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus are not their own, but Gods III. The Ship's Crew All Safe on Land (vv. 27 44). This was exactly as the Lord had said. We can rest assured that all God has spoken will come to pass even though there be a broken ship, brutal soldiers and a perfidious crew. Aslef from the fulfillment of God's promise, the most important part of this section is the splendid sanctity which characterized Paul's action on the way. Three things marked his sanctified common sense. 1. His Vigilance Defected That the Sailors Had Clamped to Escape (v. 0) He knew how much they would be needed presently, and at once took steps to prevent their escape. He was straight to the man in charge and said, "Except these abide in the ship ye cannot be saved." Why should he make such a declaration when God had said that all should be saved? It was because he was not one of those foolish men who ignore human agency. He practiced the truth that genuine reliance upon God is the all-powerful incentive to human action. 2. He Got 'Them to Take a Substantial Breakfast (v. 31). It was no time to talk to these men about their souls when their bodies needed immediate attention. S. He Gave Thanks to God (v. 35) This he did in the presence of them all. His prayer for that meant had more effect upon the people than his preaching would have had. The men who succeed best in public life are those who take the risk of standing by their own convictions.—Garfield.

Mind To Work; 3. Organized For Work; 4. Respect For The Leader Whom God Has Placed Over The Work. II. The Enemies Of The Work. It was shown clearly that those who spoke against the work to discourage the workers, were hinderers to the Progress of the Church. III. Faith in God and Continuance on the Job will enable the Church to succeed in adverse circumstances. The Holy Spirit directed the Truth to the hearts of those present. One was added to the church, Mrs. Maud Dorsing. Night Service was highly seasoned with the Holy Ghost; subject: "The Last Night in Babylon."

Conclusion. What Are You Going To Do About The Gospel? An impression was made on one and all, the need of accepting now. Sunday night, at 8:30 p. m., the pastor brought another burning message from John 11:28, subject: "The Call of The Master;" which was so clearly brought out until we were able through faith to see our Master and hear His voice. PROGRESS OF THE CHURCH The church is making great spiritual progress under the well devoted and tireless leader; we are praying for the well preached Gospel to be the means of a great harvest. We are planning a Soul-saving campaign with the assistance of Rev. M. T. Waters, Pastor of St. John Baptist Salina, Kansas, More to be said later.
