COFFEYVILLE, KANS. 520 Spring St. Dec. 7, 1925—I left home Oct. the 1th, 1925 for the purpose of mias engagements in Paducah, Ky., in con- ducting two Gospel Campaigns. My first engagement was with Washing- ton St. Baptist Church of which Dr. W. K. Wall is the noted pastor, This is the church that was founded by this great Baptist mmuter and matehlew Pastas wad nism sp leader of the Colored Baptist of Ky, Dr, G. Wa as asey erty ~ getene eerie. known as A Gospel Preacher, and Leader, throughout the world. He was pastor of this great church, for nearly a half a century, and fell in the harness. This church has more that 1000 members, and a beautiful edifice stands today as a monument to the memory of Dr. Dupee. Howev- er it has been remodeled in recent years. Dr. W. K. Wall, the present pastor, {s comparatively a young man; a scholar and Educator, and a preacher of no mean abihty, a Christian of the {dcal type. a success- ful organizer and leader; and his people love and honor him. T reached Paducah, on Tuesday at 8:15 p. m., and found the people, or- ganized, and in readiness for the campaign, with the choir, and every other auxihary of the church perfect- ly in line, and a waiting congregation, to greet me, and to assure me that they were and anxious to co-operate with me fully in putting over a big hig program for Christ. And thus the conflict began, and for three weeks, night and afternoons. We bombarded “the citadels of the devil, amid many discouragements; The activities of the pastor and peo- ple were hoth very harmonious, con- genial, and persistent; the result was more than 30 conversions; all told, and 40 additions to the church. The meeting was successfully financed aud they gave me $12400 for my service. It was indeed a great effort. The church and pastor were greatly edi- fied, strengthened and inspired, and the whole people of the community greatly benefitted, A splendid reception, at the con- clusion was tendered me, and some valuable presents were given me as tokens of appreciation by the choirs. We next entered into another great Mmecuug with the Husband dt, Hayc.8t Chuich, South Paducah, This church ss wer the pastorate of Kev. Dan \s. utgnshaw, Moderator of the Littie Neves and Cumberland Valley Associ- disuse, OL Which I served ax necretary fur more than 15 years; Rev. Cren- : sw a my son in the Gospel, having embraced religion and was licensed ier the ministry under me during my pastorate of the Corinthian Bap- tist Church, Trigg Co. Ky, He is a successful pastor, a worthy leader, an able Gospel preacher, and Evangelist, and e typical Christian gentleman, For two weeks we spoke every night to » crowded house. The attention given each night to our mes- sagewas of the most marked, and intense; and the active co-operat “ voth by the pastor and his people was the most hearty and de- Ughtful. They had no hesitancy in wating thet it was in many respects the greatest meeting ever held with that congregation, and the most far- reaching fn its effect. The result was 27 conversions, and 33 additions to the church, The meeting financed Itself and they gave me §53.50 for my sere vee, They gave at the close of the ser- vice a splendid banquet for my ben- fit, at which time, those who were present took the opportunity to speax of my work In Paducah, and the glo- rious results obtained through the fend and influence of the Holy Spir- it. On Tuesday morning, December the Mth I took my leave for home, and I reached home Wednesday morning, found my fatnily well and the church MEMGRIAL SERVICES FOR PROF. J. W.

The Shipwreck on Melita (v. 1,10). Through the storm they lost their bearings, and when they were safe on land they learned that the island was called Melita. Their experiences here may be noted as follows: 1. The Hospitable Reception of the Natives (v. 2). They built a fire and made the shipwrecked people as comfortable as possible in the cold and rain. 2. Paul Gathering Sticks for a Fire (v. 3). The world's greatest preacher and missionary, yet he was not above picking up sticks for a fire. All along the journey Paul burdened himself in doing all that he could to help some one. Any service rendered in the right spirit is holy work. 3 Paul Batten by a Venomous Serpent (v. 3). Among the sticks that Paul gathered was a seepent. Perhaps it had al ready coiled itself up for its winter's sleep, but aroused by the warmth of the fire, it darted at Paul and died its fangs upon his hand. This was a serious thing. The natives expected to see him fall down dead, yet he shook it off, unburned. At first the natives concluded that he was an escaped murderer, and that tentative justice was being meted out to him. When they saw he was unburned they concluded that he was a god. In the popular mind a man soon passes from a murderer to a god, or more frequently the reverse is true. 4. Paul Heals Pubulus' Father (vv. 7-10). These people now received some return for their kindness. When this man of note was healed, others came and were healed also. II. Paul's Arrival At Rome (sv. 11.10). When Paul reached Rome Christ's charge to the disciples was fulfilled. After three month's stay at Melita Paul departed for Rome in the ship of Alex andria, whose sign was Castor and Pollus. At Syracuse they were delayed three days, perhaps for favorable winds. At Puteoli he found brethren at whose request he tarried seven days, after which he again set his face towards Rome. At Appl forum and at Three Tavers brethren from Rome met him. From Puteoli the news went before of Paul's coming, and so interested were the brethren that they came for more than forty miles to meet him. This greatly encouraged him and he gave God thanks. He greatly craved the fellowship of other Christians and was much helped thereby. This was the first div in all his missionary life that thus welcomed him. It was typical of the welcome that was given to the gospel by the Gentile world. He was treated with great lenency at Rome for he was allowed to hire a house and live apart except that his guard was constantly with him. Being charmed to a soldier was rather friscae, yet it gave him a chance to preach to the soldiers, which he could not have bad in any other way. III. Paul's Ministry in Rome (vv. 1731). 1. His Conference With the Leading Jews (vv. 1722). He did not as usual, wait for the Saluth day to speak to the Jews. He allowed only one day for not his object being to have a fair understanding with them. When they came he endorsed to constitute them. He told them that though he came as a prisoner, he was not a criminal. Though his own countrymen had sought his life he did not come with no means against them. The result of this interview was that the Jews confidently took neutral ground, but expressed a desire to hear what Paul could save in defense of a soot which was everywhere spoken against 2 Paul Expounding the kingdom of God and Perunding Concerning Jesus (vv. 2331). He pointed out a real kingdom the Messianic kingdom with the historic Jesus as the king. The kingdom to Paul meant a definite reign of a definite person, not simply an improved state of society. This he showed from the Scriptures. Small Things; Great Things You are waiting to do some great thing: you are waiting to pull down some great evil.

If the Lord be God, follow Illim; but if Daal, then follow him. And the people answered not a word." Subject: "Indecision."

On the subject of the interpretation of the law, the speaker plead that "In the scales of justice one's color and racial identity shall not be allowed to militate against him and overbalance one's weight in character and worth as a reputable citizen." The President's attention was called to the humiliation the race suffers on account of segregation in governmental departments and the unwarranted discrimination of civil service commission. The President was asked to abolish them, by executive order. Faith in the principles of the Republican party was expressed while the attempt to eliminate the Negro from the councils of the party was denounced as "an unjust discrimination against the group which has always been loyal and steadfast." The President expressed appreciation, sympathy and interest in the delegation's presentation, promising consideration of the memorandum placed in his hands and suggesting his confidence that while patience was required, that progress would be made. The conference closed on Thursday afternoon after making plans for perfecting a permanent organization. The limited notice of the meeting, the distances from which the men came, the eagerness and earnestness displayed, were strong testimonials of the almost overwhelming desire among Negroes to find some relief from the conditions which have bred unrest and dissatisfaction among them. As one of the men said, "There never was a time in history when there was greater need for co-operation within the ranks of the race to oppose the onward sweep of intolerance towards the Negro." Acrimonious debate and success oratory gave way to serious, thoughtful deliberation and constructive criticism. Among those attending the conference were: Bishop A. J. Curry, Chicago; Emmett J.

Definite exposition of the work of the National Political and Economic (Continued on page three) 132 N. Walnut NATIONAL, POLITICAL AND ECO NOBIC CONFERENCE HEAD IN WASHINGTON, VOICE PRESENT DAY NEGRO ATTITUDE Conference held at Washington may be gleaned from a summary of the ports of various committees: THE POLITICAL SITUATION The Negro through loyalty has established claim to all rights and opportunities, and should be given support of any party whose creed is right and justice. The executive branch of the government is held responsible to the people for unfair discriminations against Negroes. Particularly evidenced with reference to accommodation given Negroes by those operating public carriers, which, in flagrant violatin of the law, make Negroes victims of vindictive prejudice. Segregation and discrimination are rife in departments of the government. Appointments to the civil service have not been made where colored citizens have been certified and have reported for duty. In various departments there are rules and regulations enforced which segregate Negroes and subject them to inconveniences and indignities, because of their racial identity. The President should issue an executive order abolishing segregation and discrimination in departments of the federal government. This would be regarded by Negroes as the strongest and most potential act of any president since Lincoln. Attempt to eliminate the Negro from politics in any part of the country is regarded as a grave mistake, which has already caused restlessness and dissatisfaction everywhere. Building up of a lily-white party in the south brings condemnation everywhere. Leaders of the Republican Party are called on to halt lily-white organization because Negroes in pivotal states will resent such policy. INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS Industrial relations confronting Negro workmen in America are looked on with alarm. It is recommended that the government and all probate industries employing Negro working men should give them a square deal and opportunity to that accorded all other men in all lines of industry. The unfair attitude of many labor union organizations in America was deplored and the American Federation of Labor was urged to translate into action the resolutions passed at its annual session. Communistic forces seeking to bore within were condemned. We urge our workers to seek an alliance with the large corporate interests whom they serve and rather than attempting to organize against the interest of those who control the wealth, transportation and capital of the country, urge the formation and support of the employee representation plan now being pursued by the Pullman Company, the Pennsylvania Railroad and other large employers, we urge the settlement of labor disputes in conference by employees and employers and deplore the attempt to form radical organizations such as the American Negro Labor Congress and the proposed organization of the Pullman employees. ential segregation, exhibited in nineteen cities, is running rampant without the country. It is de- dation of citizenship, ridicule of mercy, contempt for law, retar- tion of progress of the Negro race, privation of the public treasury of increased taxes and stimulation of racial antipathy. THE NEGRO PRESS. The Negro Press of this country is entitled to our full faith and reliance as the logical medium through which to secure united action of the race. Work of inter-racial commissions is commended. Ignorance of the white race of indignities suffered by Negro's is regarded as due to indifference. The daily press fails to inform its white readers, and they do not read colored papers. Co-operation of influential members of the white racial group of get over publicity favorable to the Negro is recommended. It is believed essential that special diligence should be exercised by the colored race to secure membership on all civic commissions appointed in various municipalities. Observance of law is fundamental to peace and prosperity. The bootleger is the legitimate child of the disfranchiser. The rights of no white man will be safe within the law until the rights of the humblest Negro are safeguarded and protected by law applied to all. Enthusiasm for enforcement of the 13th and 14th and 15th amendments.

We are praying that the time will soon come when the best talent in our race not accept places on the stage, where they will be put before the public as Jazz Singers, Charleston Dancers, Boat Rousters and low types of our race. If the stage wants such performers, they should get them from the pool halls, dives and streets, and not from our churches and choirs. Some of our people think it is an honor to act before a white audience at any price of character or dignity. Shake a few dollars at them and the performance is on—lowering the dignity of our race, carrying out the saying of the white man that all Negroes are are frivolous. You can tell how much the average white man appreciates our talent and ability by the way he expresses it through his organs to the public: The Miller had on duty last week some of the best talent (home) in the city taken from our best churches and their choirs, making them express to the public that Christianity, Jazz and dancing are all the same or can be done by the same persons—in other words, there is no conviction in the souls of Christ's chosen to constrain them from the things of this world and its amusements. If God loves th,is, we can't believe it! If this race loves this, it will come to naught and the world will laugh at its calamity. We are still praying that the talent will have principal and will not sell that principal for love nor money. In writing the National Baptist Con vention, shorten it by making it N. B. C., and preserve the Initials, other wise they will be adopted by others. Have you ordered the Baptist Cove nant Chart for $1.00? When they are off the press one will cost you $1.50. Save 50 Cents by ordering today—send orders to the Sunday School Publishing Board, 412 4th Ave., North, Nashville, Tenn. Hang it in your Church so all may read it and know. It is not possible to run God's business with Him left out; we may seem to be going on but we are only fooling the people. Our own heart and God knows how often we pray and whether we are working to be seen of men or doing it for the good of our fellow-men, the glory of God, and for "Jesus' sake." The History of the Negro Baptist is now with the printer. We want 10,000 advance orders. The book will have 30 pages and will sell for $1.25. Advance orders will be received for 50 cents. Send all orders to the Sunday School Publishing Board, 412 4th Avenue, North Nashville, Tenn. No one can tell with tongue or pen the beauty of our Publishing House. You will have to see it to know its beauty, grandeur and value. No matter where you are going, if it can be done, plan to go or come by Nashville, and see our Publishing House. Pray for those in charge. If you can not get by, plan to be at the dedication, April 1926. To sell one-half million of the Baptist Covenant, Charts and our Negro Baptist History should be a small matter. Every church needs the Chart, and every Pastor, Deacon Trustee, Supt., Pres. Missionary Society, Sunday School Teacher, every big and every little Baptist, who wishes to be wise and to be able to give reasons for the Faith to which they hold, should have one. Let there be an uprising of the Negro Baptists to know what the Baptists have contributed to the world. Just two weeks and our Million 25e Drive will end.
