Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE --- Vol.18, No.40, NEW YEAR'S GREETINGS KANSAS CITY, KANS. Jan. 8, '26 To the Missionary Baptist Brotherhood of Kansas: I am sending you greetings in the Lord. We have been wonderfully favored. His matchless grace has sustained us during the old year just passed into history, and has ushered us through the door of 1926, resting upon us the unfinished tasks of yesterday and the grave problems of today. We go forth to do battle for the King of Kings, holding aloft his banner which has inscribed upon it, love, as it floats to the breeze above our heads. His honor, the King of Glory did not permit us to accomplish all we had hoped for last year, it with a new supply of strength. He has started us out to engage in the unfinished work and supply the demands of the ever-increasing responsibilities of our present day and generation. He sends us forth with the promise—"All things are possible to them that believeth." Faith in God plus good works, is a mighty weapon to battle down the opposition that stands in our way of the unfinished tasks and the New Year responsibilities to be accomplished. Our Captain who never lost a battle leads the way and calls us to follow Him. It is ours not to reason why—Ours is but to do and die, and follow where He leads. It sometimes happens that expediency suggests, that we defer our plan for something we purpose to do until a more suitable season. Thus, I am here defering by suggestion, which I hope will be agreeable to all, the 1st Executive Board in the New Year, until the month of March. I do this because of the very strenuous financial period our churches, beginning with the early winter, are now passing thru, and with the hope that by the above time, they will be in better shape to send a nice contribution to our State Board. With our hearts fully in the work of our Master in Kansas, and the world, and with the best of wishes for your health, joy and manifoul blessings in your several fields of labor this year, I am, Your humble servant. W. A. BOWREN, President. ATTENTION! Pastors and Members of the Missionary Baptist State Convention of Kansas: Rev. Robt. Burnside, Pastor of the 2nd Baptist Church, Manhattan, Kansas, is failing in health. He has proved to be one of the strongest pastors in the state in the point of service, loyalty and support of Kingdom Program. For him to stay on the job, is to die a martyr's death, while at the same time, if he is given help he will be able to render many years of continued service to God and His Kingdom. Rev. Burnside has been advised to go West into the mountains for his health. It is his desire to take Sister Burnside and travel West in his Dodge. He says he feels better when he is driving and in the open. He is only able to make this trip by the help of churches. It will take several hundred dollars for such a trip. We must in the name of God, help Rev Burnside to make this trip. The sooner he makes the trip, the better We are asking that each church will take up an offering for Rev. Burnside before the 3rd Sunday in January, 1926. Let us do our best, and raise $300.00 for this faithful Minister. It is the request that all money raised, be sent to Executive Secretary's office.— Rev. A. W. Ross, 821 Clay St. Topeka, Kansas. Let us keep in mind the Golden Rule, "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." Matt. 7:12. A. W. ROSS, State Executive Sec. & Supt. of Mis. [Image of a man with a dark hair and a white shirt with a collar. The background is a textured black surface.] THIRTY-FOURTH ANNUAL SESSION MISSIONARY BAPIST STATE CONVENTION and Executive Secretary, A. W. Ross. Salina, Kansas, Oct. 6-11,1925. Brother President, officers and Messengers of the Missionary Baptist State Convention of Kansas:— "Grace be unto you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, remembering without ceasing your faith and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of God our Father. Knowing, brethren, beloved, your election of God." 1 Thess. 1-4. Brethren, I am happy to bring to you the second annual report of the Executive Secretary and 34th annual report of the Missionary Baptist Convention of Kansas. I am sure you will permit us to arrest your attention to some of the discoveries of the year, and bring to you, some of the observations and hopes of today and tomorrow. On this occasion, we are not unmindful of the past; of its contributions and its workers who labored and brought to us such an heritage of blessings and possibilities of the realities. The atmosphere of this Convention will ever be pregnant with sweet smelling flavor of our lamented and gallant leader, Rev. J. H. Van Leu, who for 25 years was the servant of his people and his God. May his memory ever be cherished and his vision expanded into realities. In the new day, new because of the recent development of modern demands which call for modern equipment, all the forces of human endeavor, in order to get the best results possible, have been compelled to ally or unite themselves together for the task. The church, no less than the other forces for good, in the light of the fellowship of its God, has been made to know that if the challenge is met and saved it can best be done by the co-operation of its redeemed forces. Singly, each has been able to realize wonderful achievements in the local, but for world wide results, more than ever before, the call is one that demands all hands on deck, all together, one and the same time. Our programme is a real effective one, and it calls for the united strength of all the brotherhood. All talking about it, etc. Illustration:— WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Jan. 8, 1925. A small boy, for the first time, after reaching the age of open or spoken observation, was taken to church by his father. The service that day was covenant testimonial. All who spoke told of God and His goodness. So, when the father returned home, the little boy said to him (he could not talk plain,) "Papa, who is Dod?" Father was somewhat angry at the question asked, "Why," says the father, "God is Our Heavenly Father, who made us, son." "Well," said the little boy, "I thot he was some high brown, everybody was talking about Him." Our programme is one, if we impress the world with its worth and place, all the pastors and members must talk about it. This is an age co-ordinate and co-operative service. When the late Rev. J. H. Van Leu, who now sleeps that blessed sleep, led our organization into this broader and most effective, he did not do it alone and apart from God the Father and the Holy Spirit. I mean to say the Holy Spirit gave the plan and Van Leu acted on the orders and we are forced to go forward in the Missionary Pastor, Foreign Mission, and other achievements. God is the author of all Kingdom building. God means for us to carry it on. God will give the victory. HELP HIM START THE NEW YEAR RIGHT GIVE HIM A MEMBERSHIP IN THE Y. M. C. A. You men whose Sons died in their Youth and who set up windows, tablets and shafts to their memory can do something Bigger and Finer You can build Living Monuments- You can help some boys to the "UP-WAY" and do it in the name of that "OTHIER" whom NOW you can only know when you sit at loom of recollection and wean heart-aching pictures of the WHAT" MIGHT HAVE BEEN." If he was the RIGHT sort of a (that son of yours) boy he would have preferred to have somebody Glad that h for "A LITTLE WHILE" came than to have an elaborate memorial which can BENEFIT no one. It would have pleased him more if you picked out some You can build Living Monuments- You can help some boys to the "UP-WAY" and do it in the name of that "OTHER" whom NOW you can only know when you sit at loom of recollection and wean heart-aching pictures of the WHAT" MIGHT HAVE BEEN." whose poverty and responsibilities cut him off from mental, ethical, and physical strengthening, and gave HIM a PART OF THE CHANCE which would have been HIS lot. If there is any way by which he knows what is happening since he went on the "LONG JOURNEY" he'd be GLAD if his influence is working for SOMEBODY'S betterment. The Y. M. C. A., is trying to build a "HELPING HAND" so big that it can take hold of all young men reaching out for uplift. But, it needs MORE FUNDS. Can't the memory of "SOMEBODY" send YOUR HAND toward the uplifted hand of some WORTHY YOUTH? OFFICIAL NOTICE! TCPEKA, KANSAS, Jan. 4, 1926, To the Members of the Executive Bd. of the Missionary Baptist State Convention of Kansas: In obedience to the statement and suggestion of the President, W. A. Bowren, D. D., I am hereby authorized to announce that the January Board Meeting of Missionary Baptist State Convention will be held on Wednesday and Thursday after the 2nd Lord's Day in March, 192 , at Antioch Baptist Church, Topeka, Kansas, Rev. A. L. Branch, Pastor, Executive Sec. and Supt. of Mission, Loyal to Church Last Monday evening 10 men of the Men's Bible Class of Calvary Baptist viz: Brethren Walters, Walker, Care, Livingston, Terrell, Rentz, Berry, Kirk, Scott, and Sims volunteered their service and gave about 40 hours and cut a ditch of over 40 feet, so new pipe could be laid to stop a leak of the water. While the brethren were digging, Sisters Winlock, Cash, Mayhaw, and Brown prepared an excellent repast which the men certainly enjoyed. Tuesday evening Brethren Kirk, Walters, Scott, Terrell, Rentz, Case and Sims and two Methodist Brethren John Thomas and John Summers covered the ditch, saving the church at least £50. This is the first big task for the Bible Class but you can see they are loyal and it does not yet appear what they will do. We can delay God's purpose; we can hinder providence, but we cannot wholly and forever change His decree and purpose. Brethren, there we can accomplish the task; But, leaders must pull together for the things that make for the coming of the Kingdom. Paul's word to 1st Cor. 1:19 will be helpful to us here. Says he, "Now, I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing and that there be no division among you. But that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment. The Call of the Task. The responsibilities of our organization are more preponderous today than ever before. The call for help is louder and louder growing each moment. The disciples of faith are requested to go out like Abraham. We should obey, even like the Father of the Faithful, not knowing whither he went. God is equal to the task. He is equal to the task. He is abiding in His work and dwelling in His workers.

FOUR MEN ARRESTED IN LYNCHING PROBE FOUR MEN ARRESTED IN LYNCHING PROBE CLARKSDALE, MISS, Dec. 31—Demonounced by the Coahoma County League of Women Voters as "highlanded murder," the lynching of Lindley Coleman, Negro, was made the subject of investigation by a grand jury. Four men, one of them a planter, were arrested on charges of conspiracy to murder and warrants were sworn out for four other persons. Coleman was seized Saturday night as he was leaving the courthouse after being acquitted of the murder of Grover C Nichols, and lynched. Judge W. A. Alcorn, before whom Coleman was tried, called a special session of the grand jury and when it assembled he evicted a pledge of the jurors that indictments would be returned against any person found involved, regardless of his standing in the community. He instructed the grand jury also to investigate reports that "third degree" methods had been employed in an effort to obtain confessions from other Negroes arrested with Coleman for the killing of Nichols. "Methods to extort confessions are despicable, heartless and cruel," the court told the jury. "Most any man will tell anything to save his life when a rope is around his neck, his head in a rack and his fingers bent back. If you find that third degree methods were used, have the manhood to bring those responsible to justice." Resolutions denouncing the lynching and demanding that those responsible for it be punished were adopted at a mass meeting called by Mrs. Earl Brewer, president of the Women Voters. Those arrested are Thomas Nichols, brother of Grover C. Nichols; J. T. Tarynham, a planter; C. O. Cane, an employee on Tarynham's plantation, and H. S. Blockley of Clarksdale. Entire State Aroused. Mississippi is aroused as she never was before in all her history over the "wanton murder" by a mob, of a Negro declared to be innocent by a white jury, within a few minutes after the acquittal of the Negro and who was seized by a "mob" of three men according to his attorney, Col. T. S. Ward, almost at the door of the temple of justice and the mutilated body thrown into the streets of Carthadale. Telegraph and telephone wires leading into Clarksdale, have been kept at almost white heat by the steady flood of messengers pouring into that city from indignant citizens all over the state, according to advices received here. Jackson sent a liberal quota of these messages and they came from all classes of people. A prominent professional man of Jackson, and one of the leading physicians of the State offered to contribute $500 out of his pocket to start a fund for prosecution of the guilty parties to the limit of the law. Telegrams were sent from this city to both Judge Alcorn, Judge of the circuit court of Coahoma County, and to Mrs. Earl Brewer, president of the League of Women Voters. These were messengers from Gov. Whitfield, Bishop Theodore Dubose Bratton, Judge J. Morgan Stevens, Wm. H. Watkins, W. Calvin Wells, Julian P. Alexander, Thad. B. Lampton, President D. M. Key of Millsap College; President J. W. Provine of Mississippi College; President G. T. Gillispie of Belhaven College; Hon. Wm. Hemingway of the University law faculty; Dr. Julius Crisler, Dr. H. R. Shands, J. Reese Lin Misses Emly Butt, Anita Claggett, Meadames Henry L. Whitfield, Thad B. Lampton, Hurley R. Shands, W. H. Waddell, D. M. Key, J. W. Provine, W. L. Nugent, Geo. C. Sweerington. Telegrams were sent by J. W. Tucker, president of the Rotary Club; Francis Harmon, Geo. C. Swearingen and hosts of others. Those mssages condemned the lynching in strongest terms and urged the utmost efforts to bring all guilty parties to justice. THE NEW YORK TIMES DR. F. O. MILLER, M. D. One of the most successful physicians in the city, extends to all his best wishes for a prosperous and happy New Year. His latest office asset is an X-Ray machine. St. Paul Notes. "Come for all things are now ready," was the text of our pastor, Rev. C. E. Brooks, at the 11 a. m. services, selected from the Gospel of St. Luke 11:7. That all are invited to partake of the Great Feast—Jesus bids us Come, we find in him a refuge, a helper for every need. Our hearts filled with love for one another, we lead better lives in the church and in the Community. Rev. Brooks also preached again at evening. The regular session of the Bible School was held at 9:45 a.m. The A. C. E. League Meeting at 7 p.m. Rev. C. E. Brooks entertained the members of the Junior Choir with a reception on Tuesday evening. The Men's Rally will be held on Sunday, Jan. 10th. The S. S. Teachers and officers held their meeting on Wednesday evening at the parsonage, Supt. F. C. West and teachers outlined some very effective plans in the interest of the future work of the S. S. Rev. Brooks entertained the members of the Junior Choir with a reception on Tuesday evening. Calvary Baptist News. Rev. J. W. Hayes, Pastor Sunday services at Calvary were well attended. Being the first Sunday in the New Year, a lively covenant service was conducted in the morning by pastor, Rev. J. W. Hayes. Two persons united with the church and one acknowledgement was made. Bible School at 9:30 a.m., well attended. (Continued on page four.) One of these to Judge Alcorn, signed by Bishop Bratton and a score of leading citizens, declared that "Mississippi is on trial before the world, and this great stain must be removed God give you courage and inspiration." Another, to Mrs. Brewer, similarly signed, "rejoiced that Coahoma women are active for right. This great outrage has received the condemnation of all right thinking, justice loving Mississippi," and urged the fullest investigation and punishment of all guilty parties. The entire incident put a sort of damper upon Christmas festivities, coming in the very midst of the season, dedicated to "peace on earth, good will toward men," and within three weeks of the recent memorable day when all the people of this great country had been called to assemble in prayer and thanksgiving for the blessings which have been vouchsafed to the country. The words in the mouth of everyone you meet, in commenting on the lynching, are that "Mississippi has been set back another 10 years." But it is conceded that unless justice, grim and complete is meted out for this outrage, Mississippi will find herself struggling in the muck long after the next decade is toled off by the clock of time. RELIGIOUS AFFAIR OF KANSASS ```markdown ``` Sunday School Lesson (By REV P B FITZWATER, DP, Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible initute of Chicago) (C. 1936, Western Newspaper) Lesson for January 10 FIVE MEN BELIEVE ON JESUS LESSON TEXT—John 1 33:49 GOLDEN TEXT—Ishkod the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world—John 1 39 PRIMARY TOPIC—Five Men Follow Jesus. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Seeking and Loving Jesus. YOUNG PLOPLEL AND ADULT TOPIC—Bringing Others to Christ. Through the testimony of John the Baptist, his disciples were pointed to Jesus. This same testimony he gave the previous day. 1. Two of John's Disciples Followed Jesus (vv. 35-37) As a result of the Baptist's testimony, two of his disciples left him and followed Jesus. One of these was Andrew (v. 40) and presumably the other was John. When the Baptist pointed out Jesus as the Lama of God the long expected Messiah, these disciples sought further acquaintance with Jesus. In view of John's request, they looked upon the Lord. This look was sufficient to induce them to follow Jesus. When they looked they believed. The proof of their belief was their following after Him. John speaks, the disciples hear and follow. The whole plan of salvation is wrapped up in this simple testimony and action. II. The Two Disciples Abiding With Jesus (vv. 38, 39) 1. Jesus' Question (v. 38) When Jesus saw the disciples following Him He inquired, "What so ye?" 2. The Disciples' Reply (v. 39). They answer His question by including as to His dwelling place. Their reply showed their desire to go apart privately where they could disclose their hearts to Him. Knowing their hearts, He invited them to His place of abode therefore, for the remainder of that day, they held sweet intercourse with the Master. III. The Disciples Bringing Others to Jesus (vv. 40-46) The very genius of Christianity is self propagation. The usual method is to begin with those nearest us, home folk and relatives and press out to ever-widening circles. The disciples who were with Jesus in blessed fellowship, went at once to tell others of the priceless treasure they have found 1. Andrew Brings Peter (vv. 40-42) This is a beautiful example of both early affection, expressing itself in bringing another to Christ. How can a true brother who has found Christ do night but go and tell his brother? The best place to begin our testimony for Christ is among our kinsfolk (Luke 8:39). When Andrew had witnessed to Peter, he brought him to Jesus where he could speak with Him personally. 2. Philip Bringing Nathamal (vv. 43-40). Christ found Philip the following day as He would go forth into Galilee. Philip followed Him in response to a personal invitation. As soon as Christ found him, Philip found Nathannel and witnessed to him concerning the messiahship of Jesus. He said unto him: "We have found Him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth" (v. 45) Christ is the sum and substance of the Old Testament. No channel was somewhat skeptical, but he was honest. Philip had the wisdom not to argue with him, but brought him to Jesus. It is frequently nowe to rebuke the skeptical for their lack of faith. The better way is to invite them to put Christ to a test. IV. Nathanael Seeing and Hearing Jesus, Testifies of His Divinity (11 47-49). As known at Nathaniel heard and saw Jesus all his doubts rolled away. Jesus proved that he was the only patient. One. We do not know what Nathaniel was doing under the tiger tree. Perhaps he was praying for heavenly light and guidance, but Jesus saw him. He was evidently sincere. He who is willing to be led and to do shall surely come into the light (John 7 17). He who acts upon the light given shall see greater things (vy. 20, 51). Angels ascending and descending upon the Son of Man, with the open heavens show that Jesus Christ is the means of communication between earth and heaven (Heb 10:19, 20; Iph. 2:18; Gen 28:12). This narrative concerning the experiences of the first disciples exhibits the following stages of Christian experience: 1. Hearing about Jesus (v. 36). 2. Loving them Jesus (v. 38). 3. Following Jesus (v. 97). 4. Abiding with Jesus (v. 39). 5. Witnessing for Jesus (v. 41-45). 6. Loving others to Jesus. To think we are able is almost to be so; to determine on attainment, is frequently attainment itself Live near to God and so all things will appear small to you in comparl son with eternal realities From Lowest Depth From the lowest depth there is a path to the loftiest height—Carlyle.

Rev. A. W. Wiley, of the Indiana Christian Christian Church extended the invitation. The Thanksgiving offering was $55.90 to be appended on the debt made when caring for the Congress. Leavenworth Kansas FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The Sunday School was favored by a blackboard demonstration by the Pastor, Rev. M. J. Stewart. His subject discussed was, "What the Sunday School Is." He wonderfully explained to the school what material used in school and how this material is fully developed, in order to render more fervent and ardent work of its workers. Morning Services—Devotional led by Bto. A. Miles. Scripture read by Pastor, 23rd Psalm. Seismon by Pastor. Rev. M. J. Stewart; subject: "Sojourner." Our hearts were made to burn as he unfolded this discourse to us. We could feel the spirit, and by the sermon somebody was benefitted. He said, we are travelers, and as we trespass in this world, we should keep in that straight and narrow path that leads to glory. He said sometimes the weights of the world bear us down, and try to impede our progress, but look to God who bears us up and shares our heavy soul. D Y. P U—this meeting opened at 6:30 p.m. Devotional 15 minutes. Lesson studied subject "Press On." 30 minutes program runtered by Willing and Ready, which was interesting and all enjoyed it. Evening services—Devotional led by Bro. A. Miles. Scripture read by Pastor. We witnessed another powerful sermon at this time by the pastor. Collection for the day $4500. The church is progressing spiritually and financially under the pastorate of Rev. M. J. Stewart, whom the church called a few weeks ago, from St. Louis, Mo. We find him an ardent Christian leader, by the ser- the Negro Star-for the good of t mons he has preached; they are uplifting to down-hearted, bread to the hungry, quench to the thirsty and by the help of God, the church is going to victory. The installation services will be about the middle of January, and we are looking for that day to be a great day. A program will be rendered on that day, and many speakers will be had on that occasion. Sister Jennie Price is still on the list. Rev. White, a local preacher will occupy the pulpit during the absence of Pastor, who will leave Wednesday night for St. Louis, to transact some business. He will be back the 2nd Sunday. Mrs. Edna Rivers, wife of Robert Rivers, funeral was held from the home, last Wednesday. Interment in Mount Muncie Cemetery. The Star Light Club and Willing Workers' Club is progressing nicely and they are doing extensive work. The meetings they hold are inspiring to others who are not members. The S. School had a large Xmas Tree Tuesday night of last week; everybody received a rack of candy, and a program was rendered which was very much enjoyed. We have had one addition to the church in person of Sister Carrel Boyd. The church will hold New Year's service, Thursday night. The meeting will be in charge of officers. Starlight Club will serve. II. Natter, Peperter. Salma, Kansas News. ST. JOHN BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. M. T. Waters, Pastor. Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. with Supt. Howard Browner at his post. The Young Ladies' Class with Pastor Waters as teacher, still holds the banner. 11:30 a.m. Pastor Watts came forward with a soul-stirring message from Heb. 6:20. B. Y. P. U., services were very well attended with President, Elma Brummel at his post. True and Tried" section will render the program Sunday, Jan. 23, 1926. The other groups are going to look on and take pattern. 8.60 p. m, the pastor came forward and spoke from Psalm 34:3. He emphasized the importance of going to church. Services throughout the day were uplifting. The revival that has been in progress for the last eight days closed Tuesday night, Dec. 22nd, with six additions; for baptism and two reclaimed. The Rev. Dr. T. M. Chambers of Texarkana, Ark, did the preaching. Rev. Chambers proved himself to be master of the situation. His sermons were convincing, inspiring, and encouraging in every respect. All who heard him were helped. Rev. Chambers will return to us in the early spring. Go to church Sunday and hear Pastor Waters. He snail begin his series of sermons on the Lord's Prayer. We must not forget our Sunday School children who rendered such an excellent program on Xmas Eve night. Pastor and family were highly remembered with many lovely gifts; such as bath robes, slippers and many other useful gifts. Come again Santa. P. B. Office 331/2 N. Main Phone M. 3868 H. F GEEDER, M.

Browner and his corps of teachers still holds the banner. 11:20, Pastor Waters delivered his first sermon on the series of sermons on "The Lord's Prayer." "Our Father" was the subject of the morning message. He emphasized the Divine name by saying, the name: "Father" carries with it the idea of the source of life, and also that of loving care. He also said: "All men are God's children, because all draw their life from Illim and were made in His image, and are objects of His love. But there is a Fatherhood and a sonship which is not universal, and for which another birth is necessary. If you want to be strong, Call on "Our Father." You must hear the sermon next Sunday morning; "Thy Kingdom Come." D. Y. P. U., met at 6:30. True and Tried section rendered an excellent program. The black-board demonstration given by Mrs. R. C. Jackson was a source of inspiration. At the close of the Union, Pres. Brummell presented Pastor Waters a Sheaffer Life Time Fountain Pen for his excellent leadership. THE MARSHALL LUMBER CO. 1945 N.

THE Bible says: we must love our enemies, is the only way we can see how we can make friends with the Klans. First, we are not clear on the fact that one can be a Christian and be a Klan, because a Christian loves the brethren and the Klans either think the Negro is not his brother or, we are not human. They turn down the thought of Christ in John 17th chapter where He is praying to the Father to make them one, also the thought of one blood made he all people to dwell upon the earth. Now, either God is wrong or the Klans, when they think their blood or flesh is better than the Negro's blood, yes, the blackest Negro should have a right to live er a man can be a member of the Klan and have high ideals, because high ideals are from God and they are given for the benefit of all. Men may have selfish ambitions and call them "High Ideals," who think only in terms of himself or his race, that races should be subjected to his race. High Ideals believe in all men up and the strong must bear the infirmities of the weak. We believe that a Negro should have a right to live anywhere under the same sun, but should choose places where he could be the most benefit to his own race and community. Wherever he does live, he should count heavily as a Christian and citizen. The place should not be the important matter, but who occupies the place. We have noticed, that undesirable neighbors are not recognized by the color of the skin nor the texture of the hair but by the love that was in their hearts and the senses in their heads. We can't see the logic in co-operating with an organization, whose object is to take every privilege or opportunity from us, not on merit but by constructing a fort of hate, malice and prejudice. It may be wise to pet snakes but we don't want the job. We want to pet men, who have loved God and believe in the love of God for all mankind, who is looking forward to the day when we shall all be one in purpose and spirit. It must come or our Christ's prayer was in vain. The race has produced some real leaders from any point you may consider, viz: Preacher, Teacher, Lawyer, Doctor, Politician, Financial, Soldier, Farmer, Contractor and Citizen. We are not lost as to how to get lights, gas water or pavement we may be lost as to how to pay for them when we do get them. We believe in our race and we believe the time will come when the white race will be ashamed of its folly, and be glad to be co-operative with our race for the future of America. s JUST as we are going to press, the sad news comes to us of the death of Rev. Robert Cox, of Salina, Ex. Treasurer of the State Convention for 20 years; Treasurer of Smoky Hill River District Association at time of his death. As an untiring Christian leader, he will be greatly missed. S WHEN real men and citizens see the light the Klans will be a matter of History. Six hundred saw the Light in New Haven, Conn., and dissolved. Only takes time to count this evil out of the land, the thinkers see it is really a menace to this government and will be only a disgraceful page in history.

Mosley Ave. In Memory Of the noble life lived by Miss Rosa Leonard McGlaun of St. Louis, Mo., formerly of Kosclusko, Mississippi, who was resigned and fell asleep in death Thursday evening, December 24th. From her youth up she was an obedient child, an open worker at home and in church, never wavering from what she thought was right, no matter how many went a different direction: a split hand example should be followed by many who will follow a majority even though it is in a wrong direction. Stand for right, if you stand alone—Right will win. He met another precedent her some years and her father, Mr. A. M. McGlaun and sisters reside in Hattiesburg, Mississippi; one sister and one brother were with her in St. Louis. The sad intelligence reached us of the death of Mr. Joe Wilson, Wednesday evening in Kansas City. Mr. Wilson was formerly of Greenwood, Miss, had spent much of his time in California, and here. Efforts are being made to locate his mother and sisters who reside in Jackson, Miss. Mr. Wilson was a man of much society note and believed in spending for his friends.
