Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.18,No.4 $ ^{4} $ Twelve year's real service in Wichita made Wichita, Letter and Wichita, and also K. M. James better. His fame went out, not for what the day was paying him to do as a annual Course Teacher, only, but for activities in community work, which the public is very seldom qualified to estimate value, until the assets to a man is almost away on the horizon of God's purpose, Kana also, andigan, saw, not what else, Barnes was getting pay for, but what he was worth to a community, bid on his worth to a community, and took him to do exclusive community work with a living wage. He has so inspired and trained Mr. Frank Garrett, a Senior in High School, until he will carry out his unaccomplished term. The last night he spent in the city, he selected the best talent and rendered one of the greatest musical treats at Calvary Baptist Church that city has ever witnessed. Madam Odelle Stone-Gray, colotura soprano, Miss Dorothy Sims, pianist and Prof. E. M. Barnes, tenor formed the company and they gave rendition that we could treasurer in our souls. Mr. Barnes' voice was at its best and we enjoyed the richness of his tenor. Wichita wishes this great young man untold success in his new field of labor. NATIONAL STUDENT SEC'Y Y.M.C.A. CHALLENGES LOCAL CHURCHES WITH APPEAL FOR SOCIAL RIGHTEOUSNESS. Frank T. Wilson, Secretary, National Council, Y. M. C. A., spoke three times in the City, Sunday. Mr. Wilson sounds a clarion call for a Gospel of Social Righteousness in a World of International and Interracial unrest. In the morning, he spoke at St. Paul's at 11 a.m. at 10 p.m. addressed a Community Meeting at Calvary Baptist Church. At 8 p.m. he brought a virile, spiritual message to New Hope, on "The Value Of Human Soul." These messages, from a scholar of real ability, is but a sign of the time. BIRTHDAY PARTY. Miss Leoto Jones had a very delightful birthday celebration on last Sunday afternoon at her home on 627 Wabash. Miss Jones was all smiles from beginning to the ending and was dressed in a very becoming rock which made her look very picturesque. A very enjoyable program was arranged by Miss Jones and whatever she said, "Wen, Again, Sims won first prize for pinning the donkey's tail on. The refreshments were fine and served in a neat style. The invited guests were Mines, Farmer, Brown, White, Marchant, Bell, Cotton, Muller, and Miss Sims and Case. Many lovely gifts were given Jones and all lett merry healed. KOLDFEET (Preston News Service Word comes from gentle New England and likewise from Lion-hearted Georgia that Koldfeet have attached themselves to the Klan, causing that august organization to evade the cold sweat of an unnatural death. In New Haven, Conn., it is said that the joining fee has dropped down to ten bucks per head, and that there are not a few "nutmeg" State deserters who have had quite enough of the malady of Kluxism. Down in dear old Georgia, it is said that the Klan has caused such reversion of memories to the days of Governor Oglethorpe that under the new slogan "It's great to be a Georgian," the southern view is that the K. K. K., is even too strong for the ex-Oglethorpe territory. If it is true that the Klan has koldfeet and has decided that Americanism is alright the way it is defined by PASS THE ANTI- LYNCHING BELL Whether or not the Dyer-McKinley Anti-Lynching Bill will pass is a burning question. It is said that the southern democrats will resurrect their practice of old and financed it to death, or use it as a club over the heads of the Republican majority, which has other momentous measures of a national character to push through the present session of Congress. Arguments against the Bill will, of course, revert to the time-honored doctrine of States lignes, and the freedom and right of a state to invoke its own procedure to punish the promoters of lynching parties. The practical trouble, however, with the southern states, is that seldom, if ever, are lynchings brought before the bar of justice, where the victim was one of color. The unwritten "honor and integrity" of southern gentlemen stop them from prosecuting any of their number for merely lynching a Negro. Some time or other the question of whether a colored citizen of the United States has any racial rights as a citizen of Georgia or Mississippi, and whether his offenders must face the law in that territory must be settled; and it might as well be now as then. The Federal prohibition officers seem to have perfect freedom in upholding the law enforcement of Volsteadism, all over the country. Padlocks, revenue cutters, gurus, and other instrumentalities of the federal law are put into action where a quart of whiskey is concerned; and if the redress of the ruthless purloiners of the life of an American citizen, no matter whether he is in Maine or Mississippi, is not as important as a quart of sixty-proof liquor; well, then, its time to unlock the gates of Atlanta, and Leavenworth penitentiaries and undisguised freedom to all the guests there abiding. We must watch the anti-lynching bill and see that for the sake of America, it is passed. We must throw behind its supporters the potential persuasive force of every Negro in the country. The disgrace of internal bartartism must be removed from the land or freedom; and even if we can't make the world safe for Democracy, let's make America safe. Surely there's too much Christ's unity here to continue to permit our country to lag in upholding the doctrine, "Thou shall not kill." We've been praying for the advent of this virtue for a century or so. Let's put some practical pep in it by reminding Congress of the power of the ballot L'OUVERTURE P. T. A. The Annual Night Meeting of the "L'Cuverture P. T. A.," will be held Thursday, Feb. 11th, in the School Auditorium. A most excellent Pro- gram has been prepared. The principal address of the evening will be given by Mr. Walter L. Hutcherson, Executive Secretary of the Water Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A., whose subject is "The Challenge of the Order-Peer-legged Chill." This will be followed by three minute discussions by the Ministers of the city. Splendid music will be furnished by the Coleridge-Taylor Conserva- tory of Music. A rare treat is in store for you here. Come and bring your friends. Program begins at 8.00 o'clock sharp. American traditions and the U. S. Constitution, then the Invisible Empire might turn its attention to some constructive work, all the way from increased Sunday School attendance to enforcement of the State and Federal Constitutions according to law, not according to Iliods. This would be far more American-like than the past work of the Simmons aggregation, the feet of which might become warmed by the potential inspiration which has made real one hundred per cent Americans a patriotic Christian people. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Feb. 5, 1926. C. W. BOLANI RAYES. A BIT OF HISTORY FROM OBScurity TO UNIVERSAL RENOWY Roland Hayes spent his boyhood a carryville, Georgia, on the small arm of a soldier, an executive. De- pite poverty, he succeeded in cla- sure himself, and attended Fisk Uni- tion, to New York. He further managed to equip himself with a mu- culal training. His tentative recitals set with so much encouragement but he resolved to try his fortune in Europ. Teaching London in 1923, he has paid enough money to announce a special. But that recital proved the turning-point in his career. It was followed by fifteen others to packed audiences and a rumination from King George V to visiting at Buckingham Palace. That followed an invitation from Gabriel Pierre to appear as solist with the Colonne Orchestra, which led to a number of tickets and all Paris talking about the remarkable and newly-found tenor. When Vienna and Berlin heard him meekeduity changed to admiration. As Paris had particularly praised his diction and command of style in French songs, there capitals judged him in the German heder as a model for their own singers. Each city was at a loss to describe Roland Hayes' silken, ethereal tones, which were not quite like anything they ran ever heard before. And in the Negro Spirituals he laid a strange and wonderful treasury before them. Then came his tour of America in 1922-1924, which put the seal on his greatness. In his second tour, last season, Roland Hayes could scarcely heighten his fame, but he extended it, singing from coast to coast and from and from Canada through our Southern States. Last spring, another notable debut, as soloist with the Phtharmonic Orchestra in Madrid, brought an invitation for a special audience before Dona Maria Crastan, the Queen Mother of Spain. But the extrem of Europe for Roland Hayes does not, indeed it could not, exceed that of his own country. Overflowing audiences and demonstrations have been the rule at his recitals and when he has appeared with our princip. I symphony orches tran. His singing has brought numberless critical editorial cataloges, narrative articles and honors such as the Sjungarn Medal for 1921. Poland Hayes' peculiar mastery of art is now familiar to America. It remains a thing a which to wonder. The management committee for the NOLAND HAYES' RECITAL IN WICHITA MARCH 6, asks that we announce to the patronizing public, that because of the fact that Miss Sims is busy teaching each day and each of the other members of the Committee, is at his daily vocation, that the only safe way to handle the rush for seats is to take care of them by mail. In handling the pageant last year; "Milestones" they G. L. A. CLUB GIVES MOVEMENT OF SCHOLARSHIP EXECUTIVE SECY Dorothy Sims was invited to run the G. A.

A DAY SPENT CAPTAIN HUTCHESON SPEND- DAY WITH STUDENTS AT KANSAS UNIVERSITY W. I. Hutcherson, Secretary of Nacor Street Branch Y. M. C. A. of Chairman, Commission on Inter- cial Good Will spent Wednesday at Kansas University, where we was invited by the Student Y. M. C. A., to give the opening of a series of ad- tices on Race Relations. He spoke from the subject, "Want at Corts To Be A Negro." The Quatuor from Kansas Vocational School fur- rished the music. While "On The Hill," Mr. Hutchison was the guest of the Alpha Phi '11ha Fraternity, and spoke to the members on "Progress In Race Relations." KEAR THE SONG BIRD OF GEORGIA Monday night at 8:15 the Song Birds of Georgia will make their 1st appearance on the stage at L'Ouverture School in a 3 act musical comedy, whose talent, harmony and culture will be displayed by the students of the Wichita High School under direction of Mrs. Marie Fins.

With your co-operation this can be made on a bigger event than via the "Milestone" at less expense. $1500 is the risk to secure the service of KOLAND HAYS. In giving this concert we have in mind, three big purposes in mind: A Great Musical Treat Inter-racial Good-Wall The establishing of the Coler- dergam University. Story in a of which the entire city can be proud. Plans are proceeding toward the incorporating of the conservatory under a biracial board of trustees. This concert will be a big step in that direction. The proceeds do not in either instance go to enrich an individual, they are to be used for educational purposes After spending a very happy Christmas at home, visiting the Antioch Baptist Church, Christmas morning, and listening to a very helpful sermon placed by Pastor A. L. Branch, was also invited to eat a Christmas dinner with Deacon Jones, a very strong and useful member of Antioch Church. We visited with all the Pastors of the city.—Revs. Bolton, Young, Barton, Watson, White, Lowa, Games and Branch. Jan. 3rd, we presented in the morning for Shiloh, Rev. L. V. Bolton, Pastor. We faced a large and enthrastastic congregation. Rev. Boston is now holding service in the Buchanan School Building; the "Old Shiloh Building" is now dismantled, and the contract is let for the "Greater Shiloh" which promises to be the greatest and most complete church choice in the West. This congregation is one of the largest in the city of Topka. At 8 p.m. we worshipped at Calvary Baptist, Rev. W. H. Young is our Pastor; we faced a very splendid congregation, which is characteristic of Calvary. Rev. Young is completing his 4th year as pastor of Calvary, and has one of the best church organizations in the West. Report for the year shows increase along all lines. Calvary is looking forward to building extension and the curry, installation of a new泵. Jan. 10th we were again in the fur West, carrying out the orders and wishes of the Executive Board, planned at the close of the State Convention. We went to the rescue of Libethel Baptist Church, Hugoton, we were able to extend a loan to this congregation to save the church from closure of mortgage. The good farmers of this community, in Steven County, have met with two successive seasons of crop failures and therefore were not able to meet their obligation to the church. We left many happy souls when we presented to the church a deed to their property in the name of El Bethich. Too much credit cannot be given Rev. M. A. El-ley, the pastor of this church, who has labored incessantly to meet this out, since he has been pastor. We thank God that the Convention has taken steps in a new direction. We are praying that the long there will come an established fund to changet extension work. The 8th and 10th, we spent at Newton, with the 2nd Baptist Church, Aev. J. L. Hawkins, Faster. In a congregation is and has been since the death of Rev. Rebecca Williams, laboring in a heavy building and debt; church incomplete and debt of $4000 or more. Rev. Hawkins is equal to the task and is proving himself to the people as a man sent from God. He has the forces organized, plan on for paying the debt in the next 12 months. While in Newton, we stopped at the home of Deacon Slaughter and his daughter, Sister Willie Bready and her good husband did everything possible for our comfort. We filled the pulpit both morning and evening; reviewed the Sunday Sunday School and gave a Bible Study to B. Y. P. U., using 1 John, 8th chapter. With the leadership of Rev. Hawkins we will be given one of the best churches, and one looking forward to Kingdom Building Service. While we were away death visited the ranks, we did not get the information until after we had returned home of the death of Rev. Robt. Cox of Salina. Rev. Cox was for 30 or more years, one of the faithful pastors of the State. He has done much to make possible the Gospel in the Western part of the State. At his death he was Treasurer of the Smoky Hill Silver District Association and was for years Treasurer of the State Convention. Rev. Cox made a glorious record here on earth. We are confident to believe it was "Well Done" for him. We extend to Sister Cox, and the family our sincere sympathy and earnest prayer. We are also making preparations to attend the funeral of Sister McNeal, the beloved wife of Rev. Geo. McNeal who for nearly 30 years pas- Five Cents Per Copy HIGH SCHOOL MUSICALE LOUVERTURE AUDITORIUM MONDAY, FEB 8, AT 8:00 P. M.

RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS OF KANSAS Sunday School Lesson (By REV, P B FITZWATER, DP, Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (© 1924, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for February 7 JESUS HEALS AND SAVES A BLIND MAN LESSON TEXT—John 9 1-41 GOLDEN TEXT—I am the light of the world, he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life'—John 8 12 PRIMARY TOPIC—The Blind Man Made to See JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Helps a Blind Man INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—What Jesus Did for the Blind Man YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Jesus Christ the Light of the World 1. Working the Works of God While It Is Day (v. 1, 5). 1. The Disciples' Problem (vv. 1, 2). In their minds all affiliation, negative and positive, was God's distribution for sin. Therefore, they argued that this man's blindness proved his sin. They recognized, too, that the effect of sin is sometimes hereditary. No doubt they inferred this from the second commandment (Ex. 29.5). The implication is that they held the view that men have a pre-existence, and that suffering in this life may be the result of sin committed in that pre-existent state. 2. The Lord's Answer (vv. 3.5). The Lord affirmed that in this case there was neither sin on the man's part, nor that of his parents, but that it was an occasion for the display of the works of God and that he had come to execute this task while it was day, because the night would come when no man could work. Since Christ is the light of the world, the task which challenged His attention was the opening of this man's eyes. The purpose of Jesus in working miracles was not a mere exhibition of miraculous power, but "to illustrate in the physical sphere His power in the spiritual sphere." This man's absolute helplessness in bettering his physical condition is illustrative of man's utter helplessness in the salvation of his own soul. The natural man is blind and dead (II Cor. 4:4; Eph. 2:1) God by His spirit must quicken the soul dead in trespasses and sin before it can see to take hold on Christ, the remedy for sin. II. The Man's Eyes Opened (iv. 6, 7). 1. The Means Jesus spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and annotated his eyes. Observe that the means used in this miracle were little less than foolish in themselves. The object must have been to teach this man the utter inadequacy of the means to the accomplishment of the end, that he might be caused to look from the means to the One who used them, that he might be convinced that the power was of God. 2. His Oblience (v. 7). He immediately obeyed. He did not stop to question the reasonableness of the command. III. The Man's Testimony (vv. 8-80). In his testimony we have a fine example of the development of faith. The opening of this man's eyes aroused inquiry among his neighbors. When a man's spiritual eyes are opened, there will be a stir among his friends. 1. He Testified to His Personal Identity (v. 9). This was very easy. His self-consciousness enabled him to know that he was the same man who was born blind. 2. He Testified as to How It Was Done (vv. 11-15). So definite was his experience that he was able to tell just how it was done. When he peeped it there was no conflict. 3. He Testified That the One Who Opened His Eyes Was a Prophet (v. 17) Opened His Eyes Was a Prophet (v. 17) 4. He Testified That This Healer No Doubt Was Sent of God (v. 30 33) He declared that He was the greatest worker of miracles who had appeared since the world began 5. He worshipped Him as the Son of God (v. 35). IV. The Results of His Confession. 1. As to the People, They Were Divided in Sentiment (v. 16) Some he leaved He was from God because of His works, others that He was a sinner because He did His work on the Sabbath day. 2. As to the Man, They Cast Him Out (v. 34). Faithful testimony will often result in ostracism from even religious people 3. As to Jesus, He Found the Man (v. 35). Being cast out by men he found himself in the arms of Jesus. It is quite often true that separation from human fellowship results in more vital fellowship with Jesus. He was led on to a deeper faith. He first saw Him as a miracle worker, then as a prophet and finally as the Son of God and when he perceived Him to be the Son of God he worshiped Him Religion Religion In its purity, is not so much a pursuit as a temper; or rather it is a temper, leading to the pursuit of all that is high and holy. Its foundation is faith; its action works, its temper, holiness. Its aim obedience to God in improvement of self and benevolence to men.—Tryon Edwards. Satan's Deadliest Foe Time well employed is Satan's deadliest foe; it leaves no opening for the lurking flend. 'N. K. CO.' The Miracle Hair Grower and Smoother.

SERMON (Continued from last issue) Both Matthew and Luke are in perfect harmony with John, that Christ was not born of blood; I know it has been said by some Bible students, that Christ was of mixed blood and it is agreed that this was necessary in order that all nations and races should be represented in His atoning oath on the cross; but this is a gross version of the Holy Scriptures, because mixed blood would have been tainted blood, for all of Adam's posterior became tainted by reason of original transgression; as the Anostis Paul declares in Rom. 5:19: "For as by one Man's disobedience, many were made sinners, so by the occurrence of one shall many be made righteous." If one cantilla of tainted blood would have been found in His veins, it would have disqualified Him to become the Saviour of the world. Man was unfit to produce a son that would have been free from sin and from ancestral tainted blood and for this cause, God had to furnish Christ with a humanity that was free from ancestrial blood, and independent of it in order that He might give it for the redemption of a helpless and a ruined world. Hence, His birth was not of blood. But now, secondly, let us now consider the second negative proposition that says, that it was not of the will of the flesh. The will of the flesh has much to do with the conception, and birth of human offspring; but it had nothing to say about the conception and birth of Christ. The birth of Christ was free, entirely so, of being in any way influenced by the will of the flesh. 111. We now hasten to consider the 2nd and last negative proposition: That His birth was not of the will of man, Now you observe that He makes a distinction here between the mind of the flesh and the mind of man; this is owing to the fact that man when The Negro Star-for the good of the people considered in His entirety is possessed of two minds. The first is the mind of the flesh, the other is the mind of the spirit, scientifically, one is man's conscious and the other is man's subconscious mind. Men's conscious mind refers to the body, and his subconscious mind relates to the soul; the subconscious is the most important and vital, because this is man's real self, his real personality. This mind is the reservoir, and the source of vitality. The source of unlimited power. John passes beyond the body and refers now to the real man. This mind regulates the life and controls every vital organ of the body; it is indeed the reservoir and source of power. Hence, this is evidently referred to when it is said, that the birth of Christ was not of the will of man. The material man is passed over here. Man's subconscious self is singled out and designated. It was not of the will of man. The 4th proposition is the positive one, but it was of God. Hence, to all intents and purposes. He is the Son of God, begotten of God, created of God. He is therefore the Son of the Highest, as Isa., declares. He is a Child born, a Son given, and the Father gave Him freely for the Redemption of man. He is the only one that could become our substitute, and give His life for us. He was under no obligation to die for Himself. Therefore He could lay down His life for us. He said He would do it. And today He stands up before God, as our Advocate, our Mediator, and He will always intercede for us in life, in death and when we reach the gates of Heaven, He will intercede for us there. ST. MATTHEW C. M. E. CHOIR Met for rehearsal at the residence of Mrs. L. L. Outlaw, 1315 Wabash, Thursday evening. After the regular routine of business, the choir went into rehearsal for an hour, which was followed by a very daintily prepared repast of hot chocolate with marshmallows, vanilla wafers and sandwiches. The Partor then addressed the choir on "Its Relation to the Church;" which was very ably done. Mr. Luther Webster then spoke on the duties of a choir member with some very thoughtful ideas. The chorister B. A. Offutt addressed the choir on "The Feeling of One's Worth in a Choir;" which he handled fluently. We thank Mrs. Outlow fluently. We thank Mrs. Lela Outlaw are anxious to know when we may rehearse at her home again. L. Webster, Pres. V. Goodall, See. B. A. Offut, Chorister. Held its Great B. Y. P. U. Week from Jan. 25-29.

Sunday was Mission Day with the New Hope Baptist Church, Rev. Chas. O. Marshall, Pastor, Sunday School with Mrs. Oda Fields, Supt., was largely attended. Intermediate Class No. 2, Mrs. P. Williams, teacher, receiving the banner. At 11 o'clock, Pastor Marshall preached a very instructive Missionary Sermon, text fourd St. Mark 16: 15, 16. Our souls were lifted indeed and the message brought to us, a greater vision of Missions. We must acknowledge that Pastor Marshall and his good wife are wonderful leaders and are fully equal to the task. The B. Y. P. U., with Deacon Geo. Hubbard as President, is being reorganized and is doing nicely. The W. II, and F. M. S., with Sister M. G. Glover, President is moving at a rapid pace they are striving to do real Missions. Pastor Marshall has given us a Mission program and we are trying to work it out. We have 4 prayer bands; Sister A. Hubbard as director; this director and her bands are doing their bit through Christ the Great Shepherd as their leader, to take Chanute, for Christ. The Church Ald, with Mrs. Ella Rollins as President, is certainly doing excellent work. Slister, Rollins is the kind who can put things over. We are glad to say that our church as a whole is on the upward march.

Teachers took charge of regular classes. At 11:30 a.m., Pastor delivered another sermon on the series of benedictions on "The Lord's Prayer." His text was found in Matt. 6:12; "And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." Subject: "Forgive and unforgiving." Some striking thoughts were: our sins, if not forgiven, will effect the coming generation. Jesus Christ enjoys forgiving our sins daily. To recognize our debts, before we give our offering to you we must have our sins forgiven. Forgive your brother and sisters daily. Many trues were spoken in his sermon. 6:30 p. m., The B. Y. P. U., was opened by Pres. Elmer Brummell. The Starlight Band rendered a very good program, assisted by their teacher, Mrs. O. E. Jackson. The most interesting feature of their program was the question box conducted by Miss Naomi Brummell. Lesson was conducted by Study Course Leader, Mrs. M. T. Waters.

He was also remembered on Xmas in like manner and the broad smile has never worn off. The Sacrificial Bible Study Period at Calvary, is still growing in members as well as interest. Pastor Williams, as teacher, is putting his soul into the work that we as Christians may study and learn more about the Gospel fitting us for efficient work for the Master. This study period is indeed an asset to our church and by our co-operation, much good can be done. This is an opportunity no one should miss.

THE BALLOT BOX IT is said that Uncle Sam's search- is said that Uncle Sam's scoutlight is being turned on the ballot box of the Birmingham, Ala., district, which heretofore, has been as far out of reach of the brother as the tail of Halley's comet. On Monday, two colored women, while attempting to qualify for the ballot box, were openly charged with disorderly conduct, arrested, and placed in jail. This startling, but not unusual procedure, was followed in Alabama with the "silene" disclosure that Uncle Sam's men from the Department of Justice had been on the job some time making an inquiry into Alabama methods of registering voters. Of course, Alabama does not differ from its sister states in pernicius instrumentalities of evasion, under which the brother is carefully "persuaded" not to vote. After even giving Prejudice a 100 per cent rating, so far as potential strength is concerned, it is difficult to see why the South does not want the brother to be on speaking terms with the ballot box. When the eyes of southern white leaders and statesmen vll with tears and a choking voice, proclaim that they are the Negro's friend, it is surprising that they continue to advocate those things which, under the trend of Americanism, are regarded, not only as the greatest expressions of friendship, but the absolute proofs of citizenship and full civic manhood. When a man comes to Congress by the Grace of only the white votes of his district or state, in the face of the fact that from one-fourth to one-half, in many instances, of the "vote" is stifled before it even views the ballot box, it must be adrutted that it is a mockery upon the Constitutional amendments which elevated the brother, in theory at least, to full citizenship. Under the law, there is hardly any doubt but that the Fifteenth Amendment can be enforced by Federal machinery. If evidence is being compiled, then every colored citizen in the "voteless" areas should rush to put in the record positive proofs of the electoral predicament of his Race. Let's make it unanimous and preponderating. And let the South face the truth that the Fifteenth Amendment is alive, and that since eventually it is to be enforced, along with the Eighteenth, the beginning might as well be made NOW.

Showing Christ as a compassionate Savior. 2. Showing a system of service; saying: the church has failed today for lack of system and we as individuals having failed also for lack of system. 3.

Showing Christ as the Bread of Life; what bread is to the physical life. Christ is to the soul life. Space will not permit a full description of this sermon as the picture portrayed, by the pastor, but it was a sermon full of truths, which should be put into practice by all which will make us indeed.
