Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.18, No.41, PHILADELPHIA—Soloist with Philadelphia Orchestra: "Roland Hajes, that admirable tenor, who came from humble surroundings in the South and who rose to such eminence that music lovers in Europe and in America have acclaimed him, had a new triumph last evening at the Academy of Music, where he sang with the Philadelphia Orchestra. He proved himself to be a superb singer, not only in three Spirituals of his race, but also in an aria, 'Si mostra la Sorte,' of Mozart. The aria was artistically given with a lovliness of tone well suited to the Mozartian strain and the song was all too short. Stokowski, evidently pleased, did not hesitate to give expression to appreciation in a hearty hand clasp of the singer. But the Spirituals, later in the evening, evoked a still greater enthusiasm. Hayes is imbued with their beauty, and 'Sit Down, Heav'n,' more familiar and a most ingratiating melody, and the ever-popular 'Deep River,' were given with such skill as only an artist could supply. The audience would have liked more, but the rule to permit no additional music on a program of the symphony sort had to be applied."—Philadelphia Record, Dec. 27, '25. WASHINGTON—First Recital in Capital City: "Roland Hayes, tenor, proved himself a remarkable artist last night in the Washington Auditorium, where he gave a song recital before an audience larger than any city theater would have held. It was an audience of music lovers and from the first number on his program they showed enthusiasm. Almost every number he sang he had to repeat."—Kate Scott Brooks, Washington Herald, Jan. 6, 206. "Roland Hayes, Negro tenor, who has won tenown in Europe as well as America through* his art, made his first appearance before a Washington audience at the new auditorium last night. "He delighted his hearers by his artistry, his dramatic expression and fine restraint in tone effects. His voice is a sweet and mellow tenor, of ample but not robust volume, with clarity and golden tones in his high register, and a charmingotto voce Throughout the evening the audience was most enthusiastic, and the applause at times amounted to an ovation."—The Washington Post, Jan. 6, 26. ATLANTA, GEORGIA—First Recital in his Native State: "The great Atlanta Auditorium was crowded with a very remarkable audience. Half were Negroes, and half were whites. They were there to hear Roland Hayes, the Negro tenor, sing. They heard one of, if not the greatest of living tenors. At the time every song, that audience broke into spontaneous applause, and time after time forced the singer to answer to repeated curtain calls. It was a triumph of art which, in the irresistible power of its beauty, swept over convention and tradition."—M. Abye Jones, Atlanta Constitution, Dec. 27, '25. NEW YORK CITY—Second Recital of the Season in Carnegie Hall: "Roland Hayes, the gifted colored tenor, gave his second recital of the season in Carnegie Hall last night and again packed the house to the doors. "there is nothing to append to the record of this performance save the repetition of former praise. Former praise. For Mr. Hayes dwelt on the heights last night. His planissimos were spun with exquisite skill and the gossamerlike qualities of his upper register were a constant delight. What lends added power to many of his interpretations, especially in the classical field, is the sound and innate aristocracy of his art. It is a delicate instrument that vibrates sympathetically to all of the finer sensibilities of head and heart. There are several artists who can render Scarlett's 'Sento nel lore' tastefully and with commendable skill in most vocal departments. But Mr. Hayes sang it THE CONDUCTOR'S 'VALET' "Get my hat, Will" said the conductor as Will spread a newspaper over the seat upon which he tenderly placed his chief's value and brief case. "And" continued the conductor, "Look over those orders and see whether number eleven will be on the siding waiting for us." "Yessir," answered the valet, with a happy smile, as he picked up a yellow lantern and stuated for the door, to return a few moments later with the conductor's rain coat and head-gear. "Number 'leven's there now" said Will as he reached for the cord and gave three vigorous signals to the engineer. Thereafter, Will was a very busy man. He swept up the floor; arranged the conductor's tickets and papers; interpreted orders to his chief; admonished others nearby to keep out of his chief's way; called stations, packed axle boxes; and, as we neared the end of our journey, Will tenderly brushed off the conductor's over-coat before assisting in putting it on his amiable boss, who was very busy doing nothing. Will was some busy man. He seemed to be handling four jobs in one: Assistant conductor, valet, brakeman and porter. Lest we forget, the scene was on a Jim Crow coach, down South. Will's munificent salary is probably 50 or 60 bucks per month; and with the exception of collecting tickets, he seemed to be running the train. At least, he was holding down his job, and two-thirds of the conductor and the brakeman's. On the basis of equity Will's salary ought to be about $500 per month; but of course, that's an impossibility. We don't know whether all the "Wills" doing three-in-one work on Jim Crow trains ever heard of the Railway Labor Board or the Interstate Commerce Commission; but we do hope that within the next decade they may be given a man's classification by the southern railway lines. They are all honest, energetic men, who are diplomatic enough to allow themselves to be exploited by the unscrupulous southern rail lines They can't do any better just now; but some day, somehow, they'll rise along with this dark tenth of America, to full positions of justice and equity. with a purity of intonation and accent, and imbued it with qualities of imagination and insight, that lend added emphasis to the importance of his art on every successive hearing." —N. Y. Evening Sun, Dec. 31, '25. MINNEAPOLIS—Mr. Hayes' First Appearance Was Before a Sold-out House: "Roland Hayes, the deserveuly famous Negro tenor, gave a marvelously beautiful recital Saturday Evening at the University Armory. "It was perhaps as nearly flawless from a musical standpoint as such a performance can be, but over and above this technical attainment were qualities of simple truthfulness, of inexpressibly poignant tenderness, that left one wondering whether his color has everything to do with his success—or nothing to do with it. "One thing is certain: he need not ask indulgence of any critics in the world on the score of color; in his own personal right he is a magnificently equipped artist." "In order to become a Roland Hayes enthusiast, all that is necessary is to hear him sing but one song. He is one of the truly great lyric tenors of our day. His toes are liquid, clear and vibrant, and always under perfect control. "Anyone heard Roland Hayes' sing yesterday afternoon would probably agree that he is a poet, a painter, and an enchanter; in short, he is an earnest musician and a sincere artist. His programme was made up almost wholly of simple lyrics and folk songs, but they were all sung with the same intensity of feeling and intelligence of interpretation."—Cincinnati Enquirer, Dec. 7, 28. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Jan. 15, 1926. DR MORDECAI W. JOHNSON MENTIONED As The Greatest Preacher of the Negro Race, In Coming to Wichita, January, 18, 19, 20, 1926. Dr. Mordeenal W. Johnson, Pastor of the First Baptist Church of Charleston, West Virginia and thought of by many, as the greatest preacher of his race; and one of the foremost preachers in America is coming to Wichita for three addresses. He comes under the Auspices of the Commission on Interracial Good Will, the Ministerial League and the Wate Street Branch Y. M. C. A. For the past eight years, Dr. Johnson has successfully pastored the largest Baptist Church in the State of West Virginia, at Charleston, to which he came after having been prepared in several of the great universities of the Country. He received his A. B. degree from Atlanta or Morehouse College and his A. M. from Chicago University; B. D. and D. D., from Rochester Theological Seminary and after a year's leave of absence and study, is a candidate for the Ph. D. degree from Harvard. In addition to his pastorial experience Dr. Johnson has had an intimate connection with the Y. M. C. A. Early in his career he was International Secretary for Student work; and was one of the leaders in the National Conference and International Conventional, held in Washington, in October. In speaking of the Washington Meetings, one Eastern Writer had this to say. "There is one feature of the program to which reference must be made and that is to the truly prophetic messages of Mordecal Johnson. What marvelous depths he sounded! who after listening to these messages would dare claim that religion can have no place in the life of a real modern man. Rather, under the spell of those messages di you come to feel that life apart from Jesus Christ could have no meaning for man at all." The writer quote here is, himself a great preacher and world student and traveler. During his stay at Rochester, he was a student of the noted Walter Rauschenbush. From him, Johnson got much of his fervor for improving the social conditions; and his ability to interpret the social message of Jesus is directly traceable to the in- BOSTON—Second Recital of the Season: "There is little one can now say of Roland Hajes as a singer that has not become common knowledge. His immense and still growing popularity is wholly deserved. No finer artist, and no more satisfying singer is before the public. "His voice is of great beauty, not of phenomenal volume, but of a quality which at its best is exquisite. He colors his tones with almost unerring subtlety to suit the mood of the song. But what really holds his audiences intent is not so much the art and the voice as the man himself. "That is why others of his race are misguided in thinking that a second Roland Hayes is possibly. He is inimitable, though his voice and art may be sedulously aped with some success, just as John McCormack's have been. It is his intense moral earnestness, his capacity for ecstasy, his ability to experience almost at will on the concert platform whatever feeling the music demands that set Roland Hayes apart. "No other performer has ever done anything like his performance of 'The Crucifixion,' unaccompanied. 'Were You There?' rings accusingly in every listening ear. 'Sometimes the Thought of It Makes Me Tremble,' and his soul is at his lips. "The audience always listens breathless, with that utter silence which is the rarest of phenomena in the concert hall. Yet some people think that there will be a second Roland Hayes, that he is merely a Negro with a good voice exceptionally well coached. "Having ears, they hear not."—Penfield Roberts, Boston Globe, Jan. 4, 26, Management, Roland Hayes Symphony Hall, Boston, Mass. NOT MINISTERIAL OPINION! THE WICHITA MINISTERIAL LAEGUE, COMPOSED OF THE COLORED MINISTERS OF THE CITY, TAKE EXCEPTION, AND MAKE REPLY TO EARNETTS ARTICLE. They state that this article is extremely detrimental to the best interest of the Common Life of the Community. If Mr. Barnett is styled a leader of the Negro Race in Wichita, and accepted as such, by any of the white citizens, we wish to say that he did not express the sentiments of the Race, in the article, published in the Plaindealer, December 31, 1925 and the Wichita Beacon, January 3, 1926. First—The idea of interracial good will is no new thought nor project with the Negroes in Wichita; and neither is it a strange doctrine to our white neighbors. For five years, we have had a definite program and organization, addressing itself to this great task. Second—"Better Homes," "Employment on Public Works," "Law Enforcement," impartiality administered, are matters upon which we are generally agreed. However, none of these are new thoughts for either Negroes or Whites. Three years ago, the Findings Committee of the Conference on Race Relations made these identical suggestions; and very definite approaches are being made for the adjustment of the same. Third—We desire to have improvements in Community Leadership—white and colored. In fact, when we cease to improve, we retrograde. However, in the light of history, there is no community in which the Negro Leadership has given a better account of itself, in every forward movement, for civic betterment, than in Wichita. The late Booker T. Washington said: "The Negro Ministry has been, is and for a long time, will be, the leaders of the race." However, the type of leadership of which Mr. Barnett speaks is accepted by neither the Negroes nor the Whites. Fourth—As to courtesies; that is essential part of all fundamental education and culture; and is to be desired by all forward looking people. Fifth—The integrity of all PROFESSIONAL politicians is questionable. This is peculiar to no particular race group. Sixth—We desire the very best education, for all groups; and in return, desire an equal opportunity to use our education. A more clerk's job in the court house or city hall will not suffice. We aspire to the higher places in life. Seventh—As a race, we could never "Make Friends with the Klan," and at the same time maintain our traditional loyalty to the fundamental principles of our great country. For the Klan is the antithesis to the highest and best in our American life. And we feel that any member of the Negro Race that would advocate this alliance is a traiter and enemy to the best interest of the race and the government; and unfit to train the future citizens of this country. Guence of Rauschenbush. Because of his scholarship and ability, he was not only given the degree of Master of Theology, but was chosen as one of the Commencement speakers at Harvard University. So impressed were several philanthropists that happened to be present that One of them, Julius Rosenwald —President of Sears, Roebuck and Company—speaking for the group, offered to subsidize Johnson for the delivery of his message throughout the country. He graciously refused the offer in order that he might return to his church. On the 18th, he will speak at the New Hope Church; 19th, at St. Paul's and 20th at Calvary. Special music will be provided for each program. There will be no nailed admission to these meetings; but an offering will be taken to cover the expenses. lo h's Own Congregation at Sardis First Baptist Church, Sun. Night Jan. 3, 1926. ON "THE REIGN OF CHRIST" Luke 17:21. "For Behold: The kungdom of God is within you." These are the words of Christ, addressed to certain Pharisees in reply to their questions when they demanded of Him to tell them with kingdom of God should come. It was hard for them to comprehend the nature of the Kingdom that Christ came to set up. They could think of nothing but that of a secular kingdom, or a material kingdom, and a material or earthly throne. They expected that Christ would come and destroy the Roman empire, and thus restore the Kingdom to Israel, and that He would re-establish the Throne of David. And that He would reign over the House of Jacob forever, and that of Ils King, there would be no end, this was their highest conception of the reign of Christ. They could not realize that the Kingdom of larnel was only a shadow of the reign of Christ and that it was to banish away and give place to that of His universal reign; But in answer to the question thus presented to Christ by these Pharisees, He said: "The kingdom of God would not come with observations, neither would they say, lo here, or lo therel. For behold the Kingdom of God is within you." That was; that the Kingdom of God was not an earthly kindom, that it would not sweep down upon the people with pomp and splendor, that it would not be a visible kingdom, that would be discerned with the physical eye, but that it was an invisible kingdom, and that it would be manifested with in us and discerned only by the inward eye. The conclusion is this, that His reign was spiritual and that His was a Spiritual Kingdom and the subjects of His Kingdom more Spiritual subjects, in a word: that His reign was over the hearts and over the souls of men, and not over the material bodies. Evidently, our souls are our real individualities, our real personalities, and the body is only the house in which we live, and that His reign is set up not over the house, but with the inmates who dwell within the house, hence His Kingdom can be seen only by men, and women and children, whose Spiritual eyes are opened; when their Spiritual blindness is removed, this happens in regeneration and not before. Hence Christ said to Nicodemus, except a man be born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God. But second, the text indicates, that He does establish His Kingdom within us, and thereby He dethrones and drives out all other powers and dominions, that have possessed our inward man, our souls and spirits. Respectfully submitted, as authorized by the League, in regular session, Monday January 11, 1926, Rev. B. L. Marchant. Pastor, New Hope Church, President, Rev.

When Christ enters to take possession, He find the Devil in corn and sin occupying the throne, and the inmates of hell, such as: adultry, fornication, idolatry, laciousness, variance, witchcraft, hatred, malice, envy, murder and drunkenness and revelry, in full sway. But He comes and takes possession of His throne He subdues the Devil, drives sin off of His throne, and grinds it into powder; banishes at one stroke every evil propensity found within, makes a clean sweep of all the emps of hell and defiantly prohibits them from ever entering therein again, and in their stead, He plants within us the fruits of the Holy Spirit, namely: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, meekness, kindness, faith and temperance, and says to us: "Ye were once the servants of sin. But you have obeyed from the heart thus form of doctrine, that was once delivered unto you; being then made free from sin; ye became servants of righteousness." Hence, we can manded, now to take controle of our bodies and to not permit sin to rule lust thereof. over it; that we may obey it in the III. In the third place, we will observe, that His reign is a reign of righteousness. The prophet declared many hundred years before He came, that righteousness should be the guilda of his lions; and again, behold a king should reign in righteousness that princes should rule in judgement and that man should be an hiding place from the tempest, a covert from the storm; a river of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weared land." Again, if He reigns within, then we have within, unlimited power. There is no limitation to His power. We may be able to limit the power of humanity, but you can have no conception of infinite and immipotent power, And we rejoice to know that this power is available for us and can be used if we live in harmony with the infinite mind. But it is only available to those who can believe, the unbeliever cannot possess it; Christ said to His disciples that if they had faith that they could say to the sycamore tree (designated by him) Be thou plucked up by the root and planted in the depth of the sea, and that it would obey them, and that all things are possible for him that believeth. Paul said, that he was crucified with Christ, nevertheless, sayeth he, "I live;" and then he said, "No it is not I that liveth, but that it is Christ that liveth in me;" and because of this very fact, he declared that he could do all things through Christ that strengthens him. This divine power is available for us today, and now, if we had sufficient faith to be Hugoton News. Rev. M. A. Eilonth was called to the ElBethel Baptist Church in April 1925. The ElBethel Baptist Church had been without pastor for seven months. Rev. M. A. Eilonth took up the work where Rev. S. M. Smothers left off and led them on to victory by raising the needed moneys to liquidate the indebtedness of the church with aid of our State Executive Secretary. ElBethel is prepared to do more for the Master's cause. The State Executive Secretary made two trips to visit the ElBethel Church of Hugoton, Kans. We certainly appreciated Rev. A. W. Ross' visit to us and thank Rev. J. W. Hayes for his assistance in getting us the loan and the president, Rev. W. A. Bowren, and the Baptist of the State in making us this loan of Three Hundred Dollars. The loan was made on Jan. 6, 1926. Rev. A. W. Ross, our Executive Secretary negotiated the loan. Mrs. R. L.

Seminary or Bible School | Our Seminary or Bible School es- tablished about four or more years ago, located at Topeka on the Victo- ry Highway, is receiving the usual hardships of all institutions started or planted by faith.

Being of the old order, I stil] believe in the Spint led men. 1 am sure it is the Glory of God that is the disciple of ‘faith, who bebeve in the Bible, in its account of creation, the Virgin birth, the vacarious Death and Resurrrec- tion of the body, to suffer that an institution might be carried? on in Kansas, . We need a school, a school of righteous kind. The kind that puts more emphasis on Faith than any other phase of its work, We need a school whose teachers are Christians, because they received the birth of the Holy Ghost.

We are greatly handicapped in car- rying forward this work without « building, The very peculiar situa- tlon that we meet in enrolling stu- dents, because of their lost opportuns ity, and their maturity, somewhat un- fits them to be housed with students (Curtirued oa poy? tures) ordeal less mature or more youthful. I fear we have lost two of the best students week, who are able to pay their way through. A building to house our students, can be built at a small cost, and at the same time not permit them to lose sight of their objective. Foreign Missions While we are struggling with the work at home, we must ever be mindful of the work on the foreign fields. There seems to be an impression, generally, that the work or missions in Africa, will be left almost wholly to the Negroes of America. It surely was the foreknowledge of God, of the possibility of the Christian Negro of America, to give the Gospel to Africa. It is our task. We should be heard singing, 'Take the task He gives me gladly, Let His work my pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth, 'Here am I, send me, send me.'" We have been urging that each church will become a Missionary Regular and send direct or through the Executive Secretary's office to the Foreign Mission Board. Dr. J E. East is pushing forth with telling results. The workers are more than doubled on the field and preparations are being made for more. Convention Our work, spiritually and financially, is co-jointly with the Northern and National Conventions. The Northern Convention met at Seattle, Washington; Judge Edwin H. Rhodes of Cleveland, Ohio, was elected President. This honor is given to a different person each year. Quite a deal of attention was given to the seating of messengers from Park Avenue Baptist Church of New York, that has recently called Mr. H. E. Fosdick as pastor. In Mr. Fosdick's conditions of acceptance, that the additions to the church be an inclusive membership. Question of the Convention was "Since Mr. Fosdick has not assumed his pastoral work of Park Avenue Church, the messengers of the Church were eligible, but the understanding was that if Park Avenue accepted Mr. Fosdick, she would cease to be a Baptist Church, and a member of the Northern Convention." However, this was a great meeting and much constructive work was reported and planned. Next session will be held in Washington, D. C. The National Convention met at Baltimore, Md., Dr. L. K. Williams, was elected President. The attendance was reported the largest in many years Also reported that no gathering, black or white, was conducted in such orderly manner. All Boards reported constructive progress. Kansas, gave to the Publishing House $478.50. The buildings and equipments are valued at $750,000 00. We must ever move forward and in harmony with these two forces for the Kingdom coming. Some Forward We should look forward to the day when we will be able to come to the the assistance of our congregations that are struggling to build more comfortable and suitable houses of worship. In this extension work, other organizations have outstripped us. But like we have in other achievements of spirituality, we have gone to the front. If we will only start out in this work in God's name, the much needed help will be given to the Building Pastor. Let us include, or ask for 25c per member for a fund for Church Extension Work. We must continue our program of economy in the printing of our minutes and etc. I think every member of this Baptist family should feel proud of his allegiance to 3,116,325 fellow disciples, who own 24,333 Churches valued at $4,692,039.00 and other holdings worth $1,000,000.00. Yes, this same Baptist family has just completed a Publishing House for the printing of Christian Literature at a complete cost of $650,000.00. If you are reminded that it was just yesterday when these same people were slaves without a foot of ground and the printing plant was a piece of dirt clay, and backs of their smutty hands. It is a good thing to be a Baptist! Best thing I know! It is a good thing to be a Baptist and have the Pep to Go. K. V. School. The Kansas Vocational School is carrying on in a better way, making broader and extended opportunity of the Educational development for our boys and girls. Prof. E. E. Weaver, the newly elected principal, has taken hold of the work in a most acceptable way. Since this school is sustained by Baptist influence, we should see to it that all children of our connection, who are seeking educational help. THE RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS such as is offered at the K. V. C., enroll with the school. The student pastor advantage exercised by ocr Dean of the Seminary, envelopes our boys and girls in a wholesome spiritual atmosphere. Let us see to it, that this institution, as well as all others, is kept open for the future welfare of the Race. BRETHREN: In conclusion, I thank you, one and all, for your cooperation in work done. Whoever fills this office, let us think of it, as a Spirit filled place, that we might give full co-operation to the work, and expect the fullest measure of success.

Fisher, Pastor. 1925 was the banner year for this church in all its departments. More money was raised than has been raised previously, a large number have been added to the church and are still active in the advancement of the Master's Kingdom. We are entering the new year with high hopes and aspirations, for a greater success in all our activities. The Fashion Show sponsored by the Dorcas Society was a huge success; the auditorium was crowded long before the hour for its beginning. Some of the very latest fashions were shown, in all their brilliance as the spotlight was thrown upon each person as they appeared it was a marvel to behold. Quite a neat sum was realized from this effort. Our Christmas exercises given by the Sunday School was very interesting, each child performed his part excellently. All of the aged members of the church were remembered by the Sunday School. Christmas Day found our pastor and wife in Coffeyville, visiting his mother-in-law; he remained over Sunday and preached at the Calvary Baptist Church. Friday, January 1, 1926, Capt. W. L. Hutcherson, Secretary of the Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A., of Wichita, addressed the citizens of our city. His subject, "Our Second Emancipation; it was a very timely message to our group at this period of racial adjustment. All departments have elected their officers for this year. The Sunday School is headed by Mrs. Violet Thomas; the B. Y. P. U., Mrs. C. A. Nichols, President; Missionary Society, Mrs. Mary Baldwin, President; Dorcas Society, Mrs. Thos. Cottom, President. Mr. E. C. Commander and Mr. Thos. Cottom have been added to the Deacon Board. Our new trustee board consists of the following persons:—Mr. Frank Montgomery, Mr. Thos Cochran, Mr. Green Monroe, Curley Palmer. Last Sunaay Morning a very splendid worship, the pastor spoke to us, using as a theme: "Casting Anchor;" At the evening worship in theme. "Living Life Over Again." He, in very choice words, seasoned with the Spirit, spoke to us in this New Year's Message. An installation of all officers in the different departments will be held in the very near future.

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. Mr. J. S.

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 $30000 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. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bryant of Coffeyville, was called here Sunday evening to the bedside of Mrs. Clara Daniels; she is resting easy. To whom it may Concern:— Be it resolved that we over two-thirds of the voters and tax-payers of Cherryvale, have not sent out any committee of any kind on separate schools. There are only between 50 and 55 students of school age; those few students are not a sufficient number to give us a modern and well equipped school, so don't pay any attention to false rumors unless further notified.
